    If only they reacted to it with even one ten thousandth of that enthusiasm. Yankees game being turned into daily funerals with a seven inning buzzkill rendition of God Bless America year after fucking YEAR.

    Has Toby Keith tried to cash in on COVID yet?

    One of the issues I am struggling with right now is the acceptance and tolerance of the idiocy.

    Won't wear a mask? Can't come in, we won't serve you.

    Pull that shit on a plane? Tsa will have a word with you when we land, and you go on the no fly list.

    We are approaching a point where governments that imposed unpopular restrictions to slow the spread are competing for the same resources as places that pretended it was a hoax and did fucking nothing. I am beside myself at the notion they get equal treatment.

    The tolerance of the intolerant is bugging the fuck out of me, right now.

    That and praying to God I don't have it after giving my infected staff a ride home last night. I don't mind being the one to risk exposure when I am the only one that doesn't have kids at home, and I definitely didn't want to put them in some random Uber, exposing God knows who and how many subsequent passengers.

    So, it had to be me. Just hoping karma works out in my favor.

    Equal? I wouldn't bet on that. I would bet on any vaccines that become available before Jan 20 to get priority shipping to Trump states tho. Change my mind.

    Good. Me and mine may get ours somewhere around April. Here's hoping for no negative side effects.

    I hear it adds an inch to your dick. But the moderna one takes away an inch. Look, I don’t make the rules.

    Can you report back on whether or not the microchip feels 'itchy'?

    I hear it makes you gay. If you’re gay it turns you Hispanic.

    Latinx reads like a brand of either tampons or anti-depressants.

    It shows how airflow in an enclosed space can spread the virus much farther than would occur otherwise. Note that people closer to the infected but not in the airflow didn't catch it. Also, the 5 minutes was just the amount of overlap between the infected and the infectee. The infectee actually spent another 20+ minutes in the restaurant after the infected person left.

    Don’t know the logistics or cost but a lot of building codes already require a certain airflow and total refresh rate. I’m guessing that’ll be upped going forward.

    Got my test results back. In my best George Constanza voice "Prognosis negative"

    Told you all this was a hoax. Just kidding. I feel I really dodged a bullet. Not only does my business partner's wife have it, 2 out of 3 of their kids had symptoms and his parents both got it. Thankfully everyone is ok. But yeah, maybe going to Montana for Thanksgiving and having dinner with 20 other people wasn't a smart idea.

    My sister-in-law got out of the hospital safely a couple days ago.

    Dad's viewing was yesterday and graveside service is today. Of course, we're missing that. It is exactly two weeks since that whole side of the family started feeling Covid symptoms, I don't know which of them are there, who is still supposed to be quarantined, who is breaking quarantine to be there.

    I understand wanting to have a funeral, I hope they're considerate of everyone's safety.
