What hurts more though is my library closed and I had just signed up for a few classes there this month. :cry:

My library closed tonight. I went last night to pick up some interlibrary loan books I checked out, and the DVD section was shoulder to shoulder. Wow, forget social distancing to rummage through materials that any member of the general public can get their hands on.

I'm sorry Burt.

I lived in northern Italy for five years. The woman who recruited me to work where I worked is from Bergamo and has parents that live there too. She hasn't seen them since the first weekend in March and doesn't expect to see them until the end of May at the earliest. My heart breaks for all of my friends over there.

Hold on a second here, fellas, "Happy Hedonist" is explaining why America is bad because a guy who sang a goofus rear end country music song so long ago it was popular before some goons posting in this thread were born has died.

Noting what a poo poo country the US is specifically for that reason, right now during a global pandemic is SUPER important so be sure to listen up as to what their reasoning is for making sure we all know.

"Turley has dealt with a number of neurological health issues since retiring from football in 2007. At age 34 he was diagnosed as symptomatic of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE),[68][69] and in 2015 he was diagnosed with early onset of Alzheimer's disease.[70] Turley has a seizure disorder,[71] suffering a particularly severe episode in 2009 when he blacked out suddenly followed by several hours of slipping in and out of consciousness while seeking treatment in an emergency room.[24][25] Turley also experiences bouts of vertigo, a condition that first appeared during his rookie season but which increased in frequency throughout his career and became a daily occurrence in retirement.[72] Other symptoms that Turley has dealt with include depression, anxiety, rage issues, suicidal thoughts, migraine headaches, light sensitivity, and memory problems.[73]"

Lol good luck. Hope you're a doctor, lawyer, security specialist, or just independently rich because otherwise moving from the US to anywhere with running water is very, very unlikely. The number of nations who just let people in is a lot lower than those that don't.

Where I live, the CHUDs are arguing that it's their right to shop without a mask on if you have a medical condition that prohibits it. When people counter that with, "Well most people are masked up, so it is the maskless who should do curbside or delivery", they push back with "No, you!". The Midwest was a mistake.

The US is wasting tests/testing on sports teams/athletes. That’s only hurting the overall testing system and slowing things down. Think of all the tests being done in Orlando at Disney World for the NBA and MLS teams, not to mention all the other sports that are trying to start/finish their 2020 seasons. All sports should have been shut down for the rest of the year. Let’s not waste resources on meaningless stuff right now.

I'd think and believe that if I had any hope for this shithole country.

I'm just flabbergasted. I checked my local news FB page and they posted an article about the GOP challenging Governor Ever's mask order and like 90% of the people were making fun of the GOP being big babies and are suggesting following science, etc. Usually there are a ton of chuds and MAH FREEDOM types but they were by far in the minority.

FB really makes me hate my community but it's honestly so relieving to see people speaking out in favor of living.

I have the same feelings, just over the border. I know the vast majority of people in my life that are educated and on the left, when I tell them that I troll the local lunatics on FB, say "I don't even scroll down on the articles". I have a feeling that all those CHUDs posting on FB repetitively are Boomers whose kids have cut them off or they're Crazy Uncle Barry that lives in Grandma and Grandpa's carriage house and has never touched a woman and they're lonely with no other outlet to communicate their bile.

The Worldometers total daily death count for the USA the last three days is oddly similar like there's a cutoff at 1,465.

7/29 - 1,465
7/30 - 1,465
7/31 - 1,462

If anything I’m surprised how slow some people drive in the left lane when nobody else is setting pace. Usually I set cruise control at 80 for open roads so I don’t get flagged, but there’ll be cars in the fast lane doing 70 or 60 with a conga line forming behind them.

That should be on the state flag of either Minnesota or Wisconsin. Or both.

We were both about 5 ft apart from my brother the whole time. I think the chances of us getting it from him are very small but the chances of him having it are decent. :(

I'm so sorry, Spinz. My brother was too violent for his group home last year, due to being drugged on way too many pharmaceuticals. He's now in one of Illinois' state mental health centers, where they had an outbreak back in May. We can visit him, and he's able to wear a mask (cue jokes about how r-worded MAGA CHUDs are), but we can't have contact with him. He likes to grab us by the arm to take us to where he wants to go to. I figure I won't see him for another year, at the least. :(

The vile pieces of poo poo where my mom lives in the semi-rural Midwest are flooding the mobile COVID testing site in an effort to drive the positivity rate below 8%.

A friend of a friend is a health inspector in a collar county of Chicago. She told us to expect Gov. Pritzker to issue a statewide lockdown on Wednesday. There are COVID positive waitstaff showing up at the restaurants/bars they work at and getting them shut down left, right and center, who were open IN DEFIANCE of the Governor's region-wide restrictions. I loving hate everyone.

Off to the grocery store to horde TP I guess.
