Tbf a core temp of 95F or less is generally considered to be hypothermic :P

My standard reading on an oral thermometer is 96.5 and I don't get cold in the winter it's pretty awesome.

Summer loving suuuuuucks though.

One group that Australian states are keen to get back however is international students as they bring a lot of money into the country and can be exploited as cheap labour in the service industry. NSW has approved a plan to let them back in and quarantine them in their student housing for 2 weeks before term starts this year. So Sydney will have lots of students around again soon.

lol are they going to alarm every doors to prevent movements of the students from infecting each other back and forth?

hope they dont have a shared bathroom like a dorm

oh right forgot about the article stating the local tourism has been more profitable in general anyway

guess they can literally just be closed off to tourists forever and be just fine/better

They still have the aging boomer issue like North America though, which is why they clearly should give people like me who are already here citizenship.

it's been like that here almost entirely since the cdc opened their mouths and went "well okay have fun kids"

Nope, up in CT. My buddy that works retail says he's been getting a lot of pressure from coworkers to ditch the mask, so I don't know if this is just becoming increasingly common or what's going on. It's really offputting though.

No, the Voight-Kampff test is the new standard. “You see a chud, lying on his back, baking in the sun. His mask has fallen well below his nose; it hangs off his chin. You do not help him with his mask. Why not?”

Military bullshit. He got sent to WA in 2019 and I wasn't willing to sell my whole life again to go back to the state they'd promised we were staying in in 2015. We figured we could visit each other every 3-6 months and that'd be cool; we'd done poo poo like that before, no big deal.

Then covid hit.

Then he got sent to Afghanistan.

To Kabul

Where the outbreak has been. And then the dog we had for a decade together got sick as hell really fast and died. It's been a hell of a time as of late and it would be nice for covid to go away so I can at least remember he exists in person.

Also, those thermometers always read me at 95. I always ask people if I'm dead.

Sorry about the dog

I gotta ask, your posts have mentioned burying tons of people but also you're on a farm. What gives? Do you just know a shitload of old people? Or are you a grave digger

My wife’s finally getting her first dose next week through her workplace, and even then she had to wade through some serious bullshit. No sign of when I can though; the city is still only handing out vaccination tickets to over 65s and people with verified pre-existing conditions. Way to go Japan. Clap clap clap.

edit: https://apnews.com/article/dd49a7aaaa6c59defea9670c5b19475c

this is a pretty good summary of all the Japanese discourse about the Olympics I’ve heard over the last several months.
