Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey

I'm calling bullshit.

I can get you her name and phone number so you can verify personally

Colleague of the boss here. Asked her to send it to me and crop out her name so I could share it with y'all.

Shit even within this admin.

Yeah that’s the one I read.

The correct answer is, "who gives a fuck what Jah Rule says?"



Seeing a lot of celebs talk about the virus, that's what we need more of, celebrity opinions

"Hey! Bendecko!"

Most states have deemed auto repair shops as essential in the shelter in place regs so far. So far we’re not on a lock down, I guess I’ll deal with that when (probably not if) it comes.

Hang in there BobMc!

You too IAS!

Been using this graphic a lot for WA employees. Hopefully each state has something similar. I’m running into a lot of #7’s in the healthcare environment. Administrative nightmare.

@Bob I get you want to make the customers feel safe but can’t all the employees just use nitrile gloves? I use them all the time to work in cars anyway. Used them at the store a few days back and got some looks but fuck the haters. Preferable imo tonusing tons of sanatozer which isn’t perfect anyway. Plus I can’t be the only one that tastes that alc absorbed through the skin.

I’m also torn on the staying open, we do work on the vehicles of healthcare workers and other essential workers. Most states have deemed auto repair shops as essential in the shelter in place regs so far. So far we’re not on a lock down, I guess I’ll deal with that when (probably not if) it comes.

If you can pull it off to your own satisfaction, I'd highly recommend it. You're not doing elective wrenching at this point, you are probably really helping some people out who need it. If they want to change their snow tires out, tell them to fuck off.

Today Trump said "We're not a shipping clerk" when asked about the Federal Government providing essential medical supplies. Isn't logistics one of the U.S. military's core competencies? I would think there is no better entity equipped to rapidly distribute emergency supplies than the army.

Or the U.S.P.S.? I laugh either way. How about setting up priority medical supply lines with no questions asked free overnight shipping from factories to hospitals? That could never be done, right? It's only a national emergency.

maybe they won't lose their jobs - or they will be rehired or someone else will be rehired? something to think about

keep on drinking from the neo liberal water fountain and may you get fucked as hard as many people are about to

When you turn around to see whose dick is in your ass, it'll be Trump's face you see.

@ BobMc, there’s an article out there talking about how effective common soap is against this. No alc or bleach required in lots of conditions.

The problem with soap and water is finding a public sink outside your home. Sanitizer you can take with you and it can be placed next to every interior and exterior door. (I'm sure the military still has chemical warfare sites where they can make the stuff in warhead sized quantities.)

About a month ago, I was in the hardware store buying some dust masks for a construction project. I start chatting with an employee who noted that people had been coming in asking about masks that would keep out diseases. He'd done some research, learned what "n95" meant, and informed me that they had lots of those in stock. We laughed about all of that, and I bought some cheap masks that would work for my purposes (but which, the employee told me, wouldn't keep out diseases).

That whole interaction seems so quaint now.

Presidential briefing today was a joke.

I would imagine every state is asking for everything at the same time. And I would imagine it’s like prepositioning finite assets in a battle, you wait until the enemy makes its move.

We will have the rest of our lives to analyze the mistakes, and as they say in war, all plans go to shit anyway when it starts.

Hopefully this over before the election and everyone can string up who ever they like and live happily ever after.

If you’re a paranoid fuck wearing a mask to prevent contracting wuflu but not wearing eye protection is there really a point? You are just fucking the front line workers

[BobMc]

That’s the thing that worries me, even with gloves you still touch your face constantly, it’s habit. Gloves are fine if you’re going out for a minute using a pad or door knob. We’re working all day on people’s cars, in and out of strangers living spaces. I’ve always worried about my guys, this is a new ripple.

Coronavirus is the enemy and it's made it's move already. Time to call out the troops.

The new CA state order is pretty hardcore!

[rideit]

Old saw, but they say "as goes California, so goes the country".

Not always true, though

[bodywhomper]

“Everyone in California is required to stay home except to get food, care for a relative or friend, get necessary health care, or go to an essential job.” https://covid19.ca.gov/what-you-can-do/#top

Lately it’s been the older adage: As Ohio goes, so goes the nation.

I don’t even live there but still tune into CLE sports talk which has been interrupted daily by his briefings which have been nonpartisan, factual and devoid of politics. He was among the first to shut down schools statewide and other closures. I listen in still because I know if he shuts it down, I’ll be dealing with the same in Georgia 2 days later.

Grab yer booze boys, it’s not just PA that’s closing.

OTOH the money will help a shitload of low-paid workers in the hospitality business who now have no income. Ms TBS and I are using anything we get on takeout in our little village that depends on tourism. Besides, if Trump tries to take credit for this, you just have to say "Andrew Yang was pushing this idea months ago"

If I get any of that bribery money, I’ll definitely pass it on to those truly in need.

Bob - And Seano - I have one of the best and most powerful disinfectants you can get, totally hospital grade shit. It's called Fiberlock. One small bottle makes five gallons.
I imagine they're sold out by now. I actually am starting work with another disinfectant company Monday.

Check out the website. If you think it'll work for either of you, send me an addy and I'll ship you a bottle. I did the company rep a favor at the pot convention in Vegas and hauled some cases up to Reno for him. He gave me three bottles. I only need one. I was going to use it to disinfect my grow room but, shit happens, things change.

I noticed the CA order doesn't really say anything about going outside for exercise nor does it say that parks are going to close.
