Fear and Loathing, a Rat Flu Odyssey
Just got off Zoom with a friend in the ICU at Anschutz in Aurora/Denver. While cases are down since April, she detailed a family that all got exposed to CV during a Mother’s Day party. The woman is now on a vent and struggling to stay alive and the kid likely gave it to her. Brutal. Two weeks from now, there are going to be some depressing stories out there from Memorial Day parties.

"How's my husband, doctor?" "He's fine. He only looks dead. He's just a crisis actor. You can take him home now. Need help getting him in the car?"
" We'll know in a couple of weeks. Interesting little experiment we're running. Will hot spots come from crowded beaches, or churches, or restaurants, or private parties, barber shops and hair salons? Does inside or outside matter, number of people, length of contact, etc. If there's adequate contact tracing (debatable) and testing (maybe) perhaps we can answer these questions and refine the list of open and closed activities and places.
Here's a dilemma--hope for the virus to die down, the economy rebounds, everyone goes back to work, but Trump gets reelected, or the opposite? Choose between health and welfare on the one hand and the end of democracy and the rule of law on the other. Fortunately it's not a choice we have to make; circumstances will make it for us. And of course the third alternative--pandemic over, Trump still loses--is a no brainer.
Here's a piece by a veteran about people wearing fake military gear at protests.

At the grocey store yesterday there was some sort of issue with the customer in front of me.
The cashier had to call over a manager.
Cashier is wearing his mask pulled down below his nose.
Manager comes over, stands 2ft from cashier and takes her mask off so she can talk to him. They interact like this for about 5 mins then she puts her mask on and walks away. Cashier is still wearing his mask below his nose.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

I prefer to view that as a step in the right direction. Doing the Covid-avoidance dance has a lot of new steps and fancy moves. We're all learning them.
When I touch my face, I don't beat myself up, instead think how much less I touch my face. Some maskless Karen wants to be in my space talking about the playground closure (obv irl troll), I prefer she doesn't, I can talk politely, recognizing she hasn't accepted the new reality yet. Just watched a St. Helens video, day before big boomboom, people have "no fear" (watch 30 seconds)

Ya, except these days trying to shop less often and buy a bit extra to build up the surplus stock slowly, my cart is carefully packed and stacked. The baggers usually need two carts they can never figure out how I got it all in one. No way that I am running all that through self checkout myself. And believe me, I understand the temptation.

Here, you are supposed to bring your own bags or pay for paper ones. Bring your own bags, bag your own stuff. Buying paper ones and the bagger will take care of it. Store rules. Ok for me, but what about the lil ol lady? Hopefully exceptions being made.

Most of the employees at my Safeway are not wearing masks. Except for the produce guy who wears his below his nose. They do wear gloves though--same gloves all day.
We're not allowed to bring our own bags, even if they never leave the cart and we bag ourselves. And the carts are sanitized after every use. Makes no sense. We have a choice between extremely weak plastic or heavy reusable plastic (which we can't reuse), free. We are allowed to help bag our own; last month we weren't allowed. Clearly there are no virologists or epidemiologists working for Safeway.

Funny you should say this! I have been thinking lately about our prior discussion re: self-checkout and how it was the unfair to cashiers, costing jobs etc. but now.....
we are not allowed to use our own bags anymore. Not sure if they are charging for plastic/paper.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Scott Gottlieb, former head of the FDA has been working with the American Enterprise Institute to pull together county-level testing data in order to develop what they call a "Local Risk Index" or LRI. It appears to be primarily driven off of the total number of tests conducted per week and the positivity rate reported.

Had the Monday Zoom with my sibs, Ft Collins and Saratoga are mask mandatory with high compliance. Masked customers in Stewart's gave some shit to a maskless 35 y o lady walked in on her way to Lake George. OTOH the non mask crowd in the PNW is a militant bunch. Wa's gov just said "please"
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

Well this is interesting- and sorry if some one posted this earlier. But new shit's come to light (a few recently reported studies) suggesting that both fatties and folks with cardiovascular derangement have more type-2 angiotensin-converting enzyme than normal people. This may explain why that population is more vulnerable to the CCPs Bat-Shit Virus. Of course, I wouldn't be surprised if a compromised immune system facilitates the onset of COVID-19 in this group.
I have yet to read the actual papers. Could be interesting, could be bogus. Fuck it- I don't start rumors, I only spread 'em.Daniel Ortega eats here.

Vitamin D people. It’s the missing link.

people in Brazil and Italy likely have tons of vitamin D. Can’t be that simple. But yeah I’m taking 1000units daily (which I only used to sporadically prior to covid). Also taking vitamin C (normal dose) daily cause why not - my kidneys can deal with any excess.
