Disgusting Coward posted:"Unprecedented" is the one that boils my piss the most, purely because this situation has precedent out the wazoo. "Some new disease has appeared and is loving our poo poo up" is basically the most precented situation ever. There's black and white olde-time newspapers of people getting hosed up by disease. There's woodcuts of medieval peasant types getting their poo poo hosed up by disease. Half the Bible is some motherfucker talking smack to Jehovah and getting diseased in their big dumb face, and the other half is poo poo you shouldn't do cause you'll get some wacky disease from your livestock. poo poo's precedented, tell ya what. I mean sure if you boil it down to the most basic thing people have been getting sick forever, but that'd be like someone in WW2 going "y'know this is just like the Trojan War"

Fat Albert in a can posted:Ads expressing gratitude for their front line workers. You wanna say thanks? Nothing is sincere like cash. Funny thing, cash also helps keep the lights on and food on the table; your ads do neither. Related: when you do say it in cash but, like the dimwits at Kroger, stop paying out the paltry "hero bonus" you made self-congratulatory ads about after, oh, two weeks. Why yes, this disease is sticking around! Who knew?! To their credit, they did subsequently reinstate the bonus after consumer outrage, but they're now quietly ending it again because it's much easier to just call your employees heroes and print up some signs than to pay your cashiers another $2 an hour.

I'm tired of all of it. I'm a nurse. I'm not a hero. Nobody gives a poo poo what I say when I'm just trying to do the right thing for everyone. Now I'm just a numb automaton that churns out covid tests and results. When I do feel something, it's the hope that this kills off every single fucker that refuses to do even the absolute minimum to keep themselves and others safe.

I'm glad he was wearing the mask but jesus dude why do so many people let politicians live in their heads rent free??

The jerks across the street are gearing up for their annual block party blowout where they detonate fireworks directly over my house while a bunch of hipsters maybe with masks on, maybe not, stand in the middle of the street on Saturday like there’s not a loving plague still happening. I loving hate them for not giving it a loving rest just this once. gently caress you and your explosions. gently caress celebrating the USA. Please don’t burn my roof off thanks.

Coolness Averted posted:yes? Haven't you been paying attention? Hell my floor nurse Aunt (who also is a CHUD) was trying to organize a family BBQ this weekend. She should know better, hell half of her invitees would be in the most endangered age range or have medical conditions they'd need to worry about, including a diabetic smoker. I guess I just have no issue at all communicating with people solely through text/email/facetime/phone call. As a goony rear end motherfucker I have no issues with people telling me I don't have to go out and see people because people are poo poo. I know not everyone gets to work from home like I do but I wish my boss would realize that we can do the same job remotely just as well and keep it like this.

You don't need to be scared if you understand the situation. The "corona-ism" I'm tired of is everyone acting like they're going to die. 1) Stay home as much as possible. 2) If you absolutely must leave, wear your mask and keep your distance. 3) Don't touch anything. 4) If you do catch caronavirus, it's incredibly unlikely you'll have lasting effects on your health. Real tired of people calling it the "death plague". When an actual death plague appears, no one is going to take it seriously.

Very much agreed, and corona nearly put me in the hospital and had me crippled for weeks. People talking about how it’ll kill you are just making it easy for idiots to not take it seriously because the death rate is... well, it’s high for something that contagious, but it’s still fairly low. What it’s more likely to do is make you insanely miserable for a week followed by a few weeks of being tired and winded all the time.

I read one account of a coronavirus survivor in which she describes waking up one morning nearly unable to breathe, with a feeling like she had a cactus inside each of her lungs, and that (in addition to basic consideration for myself & the people around me) was enough for me to go about avoiding catching/spreading it as much as humanly possible. Also, I don't know which is the biggest "gently caress you" -- not wearing a mask inside a "no mask, no service" place, wearing a mask under your chin inside a "no mask, no service" place, or providing service to maskless people as a proprietor of a "no mask, no service" place.

Nah, the biggest gently caress you is the stuff circulating Facebook telling people that if they don't want to wear a mask inside, just say they have a medical condition/disability, because then those dang employees can't make you do it! The sad thing is, most places really wouldn't touch that out of fear of being sued.

Seems you have a good perspective on things, though. Again, not saying to not take it seriously (everyone should)! Calling it the death plague is exaggerating, though. I'm wondering, was it possible to catch this late November/early December in the US last year. Me and several office workers got pretty sick with "something" going around, one after another. We all had flu shots already. I was hospitalized because I had kidney complications, but only for a couple days. Back in March we were wondering if it was actually coronavirus. Probably not, but
