Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

Is Dave Woke?

Dave Wakeling?

It's because of the Hobokenesians. There was a barfight and somebody got hurt and it took half an hour for an ambulance to come because all the other Hobokenesians were calling 911 about the virus, which they didn't have. Probably. So the mayor said fuck this shit, everybody go to your rooms. And here we are.

Actually, that sounds pretty damn plausible...

I can't be the only person who finds humor in that the quarantine isolation camp that the State of Georgia has set up is in "Hard Labor Camp State Park".

Mix that in with the reckless speculation of martial law, eliminated elections and extreme rationing and a government camp named Hard Labor sounds about right. Or someone has a terrific sense of humor.

That's literally what happened.

That is too funny.

It's hard work being simultaneously outraged that the government has screwed everything up, and also that it isn't doing nearly enough!

Well said, Spats.

Nice of you to drop by for the apocalypse.

FKNA man. Good to see ya on here.

I don't know about outraged, but hard work it is not, since what you've described is more or less the state of play so far.

If you don't live in fear you won't get sick.

All that fancy learnin' them doctors had to do and they never learned this simple fact.

[Ted Striker]

Well, I'm glad I was at the bar tonight. Tomorrow they close statewide.

The government is capable of taking both wrong and insufficient action, as they can come from the same cause of failure. And it is so.

In China, they made the mistake of sending subacute patients home after they were found positive. It would have flattened the epidemic curve more had they used hotel rooms and supplied these people with food as they wouldn't have infected their whole family.

In the USA, we are sending suspected subacute patients home because we have no ability to test them because of the government testing shit show. Wrong action, and too little.

Can't even get test results for 4+ days on critical hospitalized patients..

Dave Wakeling?

Save it for later.

There's a max prison here, right across the bay. A prison guard rents one of my properties.
The first thing they need to do is assess who they can release. Then they create a buffer. They've already started training for Quarantine, where she may be living there for weeks, behind an airgap.

No it isn't

They could be doing completely the wrong thing.

And not nearly enough of the right thing.

Leave it to Disney to fuck us all

[old goat]

hope they let restaurants stay open for carryout around here. Might keep a few businesses hanging on by the skin of their teeth and a welcome break from my own cooking.

That’s what’s going on here.

If there really is a ‘no gatherings over 50’ edict, pretty much all fast food interior spaces would shut (like chik fil a). Unless they monitored at the door?

What about truck stops?

So, what about the prisons?
Do they consider two to a cell social isolation?
What about meal/rec times?

[powdork]

I know this is a stretch, but maybe one possible upside to this pandemic (once we get through it) is that people will actually believe in science and what experts are telling them? Again...I said it was a stretch.

I was just thinking about underlying conditions and how they often relate to personal choices, i.e. sugar, food, alcohol, smoking, exercise or lack thereof. Maybe another good thing that could come out of this is that people take better care of themselves. it's prolly about as likely as yours though.

Opportunities for delivery maggots abound. It's the new liftie.
