OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

I've actually been thinking of putting fish sauce in a super soaker and shooting people that weren't wearing masks out in public (but I'm not a stupid fucking kid anymore, but it would be fucking funny IMO). Its a lot harder these days though, since everyone has phones with them though. We used to go around in summer and spray motherfuckers around town (with water) back in HS.

 

You're going to be the first male Karen, aren't you?

 

Nah, I'm usually the one doing the recording. I get everything.

 

I think we are at the point that we need to be forcibly locked down. Like cops clearing the streets and checking where you are going.

We are way past that point though.

This is impossible now, as both sides of the political spectrum have given too much leeway in giving people more "freedom" instead of sticking to the original plan of intense lockdowns. There is no way people will comply now.

Between the protests/riots, the rallies, Black lives matter, blue lives matter, all lives matter, riots to convince people that we should defend the police, opening disneyworld and starting the NBA bubble while Florida is soaring, it's all kinds of fuckery going on.

 

BTW, the Adidas masks are great. Multilayered and more breathable than cotton. Affordable as well, 3 for $16. Sold out as of now online but prob goes in and out of stock.

Gov. Brown extends mask requirement to outdoors, limits group gatherings

 

Glad I got my haircut short last time. I should be good for another month.

 

Everyone has an an answer.....

Japan has skirted a coronavirus surge with room to spare, after new cases slowed markedly when Abe, who does not have the legal powers to declare a European-style lockdown, called on people to beat the virus by avoiding the “three Cs”: confined and crowded spaces, and close human contact.


The Abe administration has gained few political dividends for its response; instead, most plaudits have gone to the quiet determination shown by the public, armed with virus-challenging habits formed long before the pandemic.

Masks are a common sight during the winter flu season, and in spring among people with hay fever. The custom of bowing rather than shaking hands or hugging, generally high standards of personal hygiene, and the removal of shoes when entering homes have all been held up as possible explanations for Japan’s low infection rate.

Experts have pointed to universal healthcare, low obesity rates and expertise in treating pneumonia. More fanciful theories have gained traction – the consumption of foods, such as natto, that boost the immune system and, according to an unscientific experiment conducted by a TV network, the relatively low number of airborne droplets generated by spoken Japanese.

“I don’t think the falling number of infections is due to government policies,” said Ryuji Koike, the assistant director of Tokyo Medical and Dental university hospital. “I think it looks like Japan is doing well thanks to things that can’t be measured, like daily habits and ‘Japanese behaviour’.”
