Coronavirus: COVID-19

Well yeah but I'm not rationalizing it. My work should not be open because we are not in fact essential, just a convenience that the populace isn't willing to let go of and the establishment probably gets kickbacks from to make sure we're called essential.

I hear you. When I’m called back in I’ll go too. Afaic that makes us the Vietnam vets who deserved to be spit on.

At least everyone else deserves to be spit on too.

Hiding behind numbers makes our cowardice even more pathetic.

An emergency proclamation requiring face masks in stores and restaurants in Stillwater, Oklahoma, was nixed after store and restaurant owners received threats

How much of this **** are we supposed to let slide?

If they threaten you for insisting they wear a mask they win even they they’re increasing the likelihood of actually killing people. But if you threaten a person for not wearing a mask which is life-threatening negligence you will go to jail.

India is up to 1400 counted deaths which is just slightly more than the state of Florida

Incredibly Florida is being touted as a success

Infections and deaths aren’t even on a decline but since the beach is open I guess we won

Never mind that the nursing homes and prisons have been ravished with new cases over the last couple weeks

People are like how did we beat it compared to NY. As if it’s not obviously just a matter of time. They’ve had it longer. People’s ability to deny is just incredible. 100 dead at a single nursing home in NY but somehow that’s not waiting for us in Florida even though we’re still working our way up exponentially and opening up the economy.

And NY itself. People just chilling at the park. Whatever dude. Sorry grandma. Wait until your blood clots you selfish ****s. This **** has so got a round two.

Dana's cousin and his kids stopped by the house. We're down the shore at Dana's parents "beach" house. They were in the area. I didn't leave the deck and they didn't come inside. I could tell the kids thought that was weird. Dana went down by them but I wouldn't. I didn't feel comfortable. I told myself the other day that I can't stop people from doing what they do but I can make my own decisions about myself and that's what I'm doing. I don't care. There's an inherent risk that Dana took by going down to see them and I'm going to lump that into the inherent risk we all take whether it be going to the grocery store, pharmacy, going for a walk, or getting gas. Still, I'm standing my ground for now on these things. I feel weird doing it though.

Basically this post is an example of how hard simple decisions are to make without being an anti-lockdown protester or completely locked in non murderer OH. The inbetween is hard.
