i lived in socal most of my life... i technically can drive to disneyland in 15 minutes from my parents place, ignoring how long the lines used to be to get in before they created those external parking lots of shuttles into the park, and how confusing they've made it now... there are people like this indeed. i knew people in high school who paid the yearly pass just so they could chill out in disneyland... up until downtown disney opened. don't get me wrong, my family wasn't exactly rich so going to disneyland was amazing. i think we got to go once a year in the summer, and being the summer meant at most you got to go on 3 rides + see the parade at the end of the night... but by the time i hit high school... not sure why it was so exciting for people. last time i went was about 3 years ago as a work outing and while it was pretty fun... i would imagine doing this for a week or so would get boring real quick. what i'm trying to say is these people are psychos.

gently caress COREY PERRY posted:tbh i've kinda assumed this was the case the whole time? i remember reinfection news coming out of japan quite early on (feb?), but only for a case or three, and i feel like it was mostly glossed over especially as people realized how long covid can hide in nerves and whatnot. p sure there was also reports of reinfection in china. but being incapable of positive thoughts, i've just assumed that reinfection was the case, and found it odd everyone assumed the best case rather than worst case one of the epidemiologists in south korea that got a lot of coverage said it was most likely not reinfection, but just them not being able to detect it in the patient's system even though they still had it. maybe this report is something new that's happened with the virus.

Xaris posted:the melt i've eaten at the melt. it wasn't bad but goddamn expensive. i think zipcar had some deal with them so i went in one time. it's yeah.. not something that demands you go back. Xaris posted:We'll have to see what happens in our lovely covid hellworld, but food trucks here in the bay area made a big loving splash circa 2009-2013 and were actually very interesting, then just absolutely poo poo the bed hard for a lot of the reason they became interesting in the first place: i.e. costs slowly rose to same price as eating in and many times more expensive (sans tip); food quality dropped with some of them turning into chain-food trucks losing that passion and drive and becoming just kinda lovely quality food; the innovation they had over regular B&M stores dried up and a lot of B&M stores started offering similar food and updating menus but just better. But big one is they were no longer good bang-for-the-buck deals and yet you're still eating outside in the loving wind and cold while standing around in a tiny little cardboard container with a flimsy plastic fork most of the food trucks mainly just park around soma now, or some other place that has a lot of daytime traffic. when i use to work in an office there was one across the street and 2-3 other ones that either ran daily or skipped days. some of the food was pretty good, others were okay, i mostly ate there cause it was convenient and supported some local businesses.. off the grid still works that food truck area on 9th street i think near the costco... but yeah they kinda disappeared real quick.

Xaris posted:that's sort of the rub is bay area requires a lot of overhead (rent, food/delivery/supplies premium, taxes/fees, etc) so like yeah they probably can't sling $3-5 grilled cheeses no matter the quality despite that's the price that would be attractive enough writ-large for a big customer base; but it can't, so for $8-$10+tax it better be god drat mind blowing with crack inside of it because I can get a burrito the size of my forearm for that price (albeit, increasingly not anymore). yet grilled cheeses are not an inspiring eat-out-food because its so easy to make even the laziest hamburger helper chefs can do it, and it just ain't that mindblowing so there was actually a very small shop that sold what (to me) was taiwanese comfort food that i wish i knew what happened to (i'm guessing they closed down due to covid but they showed up less and less even before).. also one of the more popular trucks, 808 poke moved to fresno due to covid-19. there are still some good ones. OTG still operates the Presidio Food Truck Place... at least from 3 years ago. anyways, what i'm trying to say is... i wish everyone had just sheltered-in 3 months ago.. we would have been done with all this. now i can't eat at any food trucks and most of them will probably close down before this is over.

so i am working from home, relatively healthy and have decent savings.. at the moment it's more stress dealing with work more than anything else. i consider myself very lucky. but i can also flee to taiwan if i really wanted to... and the only real thing is my immediately family (mom, dad, siblings, nieces, nephews) all live here in California. It is a bit tempting to go but if something were to happen to my parents, i'm not sure if i'd make it back in time. but drat i see my other relatives in taiwan all having fun. wearing masks, eating indoors, going to stores where they have someone near the door squiring hand sanitizer as you pass in. and the food. fuucccccccck.

Mayor Dave posted:believe me it's not worth reading, just some rich rear end in a top hat talking about how we need to open er up and how unemployment is too generous eh, if you read it there's more progression of his opinion as the pandemic continues. he never mentions unemployment at all. there's talk about businesses being unable to pay workers to stay home for more than 2 months. i agree with him on that. most mom/pops can't pay their workers for not working. the government should do it. i think anyone who saw the post should read the entirety of it. obviously he's really rich and most people ITT won't view him as sympathetic or anything. i certainly don't. but i think its worth a read even if you think his opinions are wrong.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/exposed-son-man-fights-covid-191258861.htmlquote:MIAMI (AP) — For weeks, Michelle Zymet pleaded with her stepson to avoid going out with friends and to always wear a mask. quote:The young man, who did not want to talk to the media, had told his father and stepmother that he initially thought he had a common cold and took over-the-counter medication. When he heard about his friend testing positive for the new coronavirus, he still didn't think he had it. quote:Zymet said she has been called an “awful mother,” and an “evil witch” for placing the blame on the stepson, but she said she thought it was important to share her family's story amid a surge of infections first detected among young people.

Trump's approval rating is at the same low as when he shut down the government... it only stopped free falling once he caved and signed the funding bill. There's nothing like that to stop this now. He's just going to be like, "My approvals are great" while people die from this, become bankrupt from it, or kicked out of their homes.

as someone from taiwan... ahem.. TAIWAN #1 that being said, once china realized it couldn't loving hide it anymore.. at the very least it began making arrangements to make sure as few citizens died as could be expected at that point. a _REALLY_ bad thing for a government to be doing that late in the game but at least they reversed course fully. but all that fuckery just pales in comparison to the US. who has decided that doing nothing is the better option. it is loving laughable that anyone in the US is blaming WHO/china for any of this considering trump never budged from his position even after he knew the virus existed. all that fuckery at the US airports at the very beginning of the outbreak just proved no one here was ready for it, certainly not trump. SARS killed 73 taiwanese citizens in 2003 and the government found that to be unacceptable and initiated a huge program to make sure something like that never happened again. 73 people was 0.0003% of taiwan's population back then. covid has already killed 0.04% of the US population and there are people willing to accept that number as long as it allows them to sit down at an applebees...

sorry to be off-topic in the pizza thread. https://twitter.com/gatamchun/status/1287608080763629568 the source of her info is in the reply, a north-korean defector journalist, she generally tweets translations for overwatch related tweets (such as korean players tweeting) so her translation of it should be pretty accurate.

Pump Jockey posted:Has anyone had to have a delivery/service worker come into their home during the pandemic, and if so how did you handle it? Our stove is 100% busted despite our best attempts at fixing it, and we can’t wait until there’s a vaccine in 2022 or whatever to replace it, so we’re kind of stuck doing it now. Picking it up from the store ourselves is also unfeasible for a number of reasons. wear a mask and some eye protection. invite him into the kitchen and let him drop it off. sign off on the paper work and let him leave. washing your hands thoroughly with soap afterwards. if possible i would give him any instructions about where you want it dropped off outside instead of when he's in the kitchen. if you feel you need to be extra paranoid, don't let anyone into the kitchen for a bit and ventilate the kitchen by opening as many windows as possible. also if you feel the need, whomever deals with the delivery person should try to minimize interaction with the rest of the family for at least two weeks. i don't think this is necessary even if you are a bit paranoid, but if someone in your home is immuno-compromised then on the slim chance you get infected then at least you'll be isolated. if you're both wearing masks and there's very little talking i think you'll be okay in general. wash your hands. edit: DON'T KISS THE DELIVERY PERSON!!!
