    Here's NYC's "COVID Sex Guidance."

    I shit you not. It recommends against eating ass, but eating pussy is just fine. Also they'd prefer it if you had sex with yourself.

    Sorry, I'm bad at internets so I don't know how to embed the file to read on here. It's just a .pdf link.

    Somehow Trump will be to blame for this as well:

    It’s all about the supplies.



    ..,.in other news, “Contagion” is the number one trending movie on Netflix. Jesus you people like a little abuse, huh?. Are these the same folks who watch Die Hard 2 while flying?

    They're finally getting serious about it here, booze is now being rationed.
    But you can still get a haircut

    Don't like those kind of movies at all because as a rule of thumb I don't choose to watch things that make me feel terror or uncomfortable (like why the fuck anyone would watch horror movies, I don't get). But my wife and I watched it about a week ago because we had reached the end of netflix. It's actually a really solid flick. It didn't make me any more or less scared of what's going on now, and in fact I was probably less bothered by the idea of the movie than under normal circumstances because there were so many parallels the shock had already worn off.

    Wish they did more with Matt Damon's character though. If an entire character's personality can be defined as "has PTSD, survivor's guilt" then you need to either flesh it out a little more or remove it all together.

    The real bummer is I still like booze but I'm near enough to being bald so the haircut is wasted on me

    What an absolute piece of shit. My hope is they throw the book at him as a deterrent for others.

    He could get six months to two years since he has priors. And considering the context of society and what he did, they’ll probably (and hopefully) make an example of him.

    His family’s house will now be flooded with death threats, he’ll make some tearful, fake apology and life will go on.

    Except for him, because he’s a pariah now.

    This is something we haven't done in recent memory and speaks to how seriously overwhelmed places are going to be in the next few weeks.

    Do me a solid and share that as broadly as you can.

    Honestly, anyone. The American Red Cross is a solid and consistent partner of FEMA, but anyone you feel comfortable with.

    I haven't heard of any issues with donating, just a few random scams of price gouging and hoarding supplies, but that shouldn't affect the organizations listed there.

    Turns out doctors are trying to hoard the malaria medicine Trump mentioned by requesting huge scripts for them. Boy sometimes crisis brings out the very best in people.

    Yeah we're fucked. Had to go into town because there's ticks in the yard and the last thing I want right now is lyme disease. Gonna nuke 'em out of the yard with more good ole American-style pesticide. For one, the fucking car wash was open. For two, there was the longest line of cars I have ever seen, extending out to the street.

    I've lost all hope for humanity. Taking my boys fishing today.

    Yeah, carwashes are considered essential because they "sanitize the exterior of your vehicle."

    Huge eye roll.

    Last thing I need is for someone to breath into my face through the car window and get me sick. I'm behaving like a paranoid OCD hypochondriac right now. Lysol wipes and hand sanitizer comes with me for errands. Hands are cleaned and everything I've touched is wiped down. I do my best to not touch anything and to stay a good distance away from all other people. All groceries are wiped down once they are in the house. The behavior of the walmart grocery pickup employees is not instilling a lot of confidence in me right now.

    Does anyone know how effective those homemade cloth masks are? I've seen a lot of plans floating around for how to sew them yourself. What would you have to put in the middle to act as a suitable filter? I know the N95 dust masks are supposed to be ineffective. Or are the masks more of a psychological thing where you touch your face less because it is on?

    Are they doing it to protect a supply for their existing lupus patients, or are they trying to profiteer off an expected wave of red hats requesting it?

    Story I read from HuffPost was just citing pharmacist reporting on it. Claims that many of the big orders they are receiving and rejecting are from doctors in other specialties that don’t handle lupus patients. It sound more like they are hoarding for their friends and family over turning around and selling them on the black market.
