I posted somewhere else on here when my niece, her husband, and 3yo came to my "rancho" because the son wanted to see the chickens. My oldest, who lives with us and is a nurse, was livid when they left, and she might be his favorite cousin.
It's when I first heard the word Covidiot. . . I can't tell you who was the bigger one though, them or me. I haven't told them yet that the chicks hatched out of the incubator, because they haven't yet. |

Idiots period. Actually selfish idiots. My personal assistants Mother passed Wednesday. AM. Totally a horrific end. All alone. Had to be community acquired. She only left house to do food shopping bc the delivery services are so booked. Her daughter lives too far away to help out.

No shelter in place in IA, but still not seeing anyone. I do have a friend that is not taking it very seriously, who is also a nurse at a main hospital, so who knows. He still thinks we have almost nothing to worry about here.
Have done a lot more HouseParty meetings, JackBox + some video chat, and whatnot and it is actually nice sometimes. One of my normal group of friends from high school I hang out with actually had the out of state people show up, so it was a slightly different group. We don't do much aside from bullshit and drink anyway so it was pretty normal. I just wish we would stop being so PC and tell high risk people they have to shelter in place while everyone else goes about their business. Yes I know it CAN be bad for young healthy people too, but not at the same overwhelming rate. It isn't like this magically goes away. We will be dealing with it until there is mass distribution of a vaccine or everybody has already had it AND it turns out to be non-recurring.

Opinion and Free Will...
They made a decision, and offered you an option. You made yours and did what you wanted. It's all good! Why do you seek validation then? Judgement of others, is an entirely acute affliction of the contemporary social political correctness gone bezerk! There is absolutely NO data that will support Social Distancing vs Herd Immunity as superior in the overall deaths rates! There are sound arguments to support each paradigm and the only real discernable difference is the "curve". In this pandemic, the former is being applied. Any published information indicating that one is better than the other is completely irresponsible and false. That said, of course, who wants to take a chance? And social acceptance requires you to "go along" with what everyone else is doing. But the disease will run its course as they all do. Typical viral outbreak will run approximately 18 months and then fade away as even in the absence of vaccines, Immunities will build and do it's job. |

I'm a fairly hard Midwesterner, but I'd be a babe in NYC - at least for awhile. I would not want to live there, but I'd love the back and forth. I do love to break chops. I warn new people who go drinking with me that what little filter I have disappears at about my 3rd bourbon. You people have a language all your own.

I keep seeing arguments that we either "over reacted" or "social distancing worked" and I think both are true. I think social distancing kept the death count low(its about on par with a really bad flu season), but was another 40k lives worth millions of people being out of work and the hit the economy took? I am glad I don't have to make those decisions.

I don't think we will ever know what was right or wrong. If you ask someone effected by a Covid death, we probably didnt do enough. If you ask the guy that lost his business or retirement then we over stepped. The problem is politicians will spend more time arguing and blaming and not working on a plan should this happen again.

Two sets of couples, a hairdresser, and the Ritz carlton.
Sounds like a good orgy. Can I come ? |

We have that also. My actual community posts very little on there (its pretty small) however I still see posts from all the neighboring communities. Makes this who social distancing thing loom pretty attractive.
