Failed quarantines are worst than the disease...

I just achieved damnatio memoriae on Facebook.

Their algorithms don't seem to comprehend that mocking something that people find to be terrifying is a natural, human coping technique.

If there's anything you picked up from Max Powers, you picked up a liking for posting these meme pictures

Stimulus provoked evolution; a faster, more efficient thread and troll killer.

Actually I was using these long before Max.
Hadn't for done any/many for close to a decade due to lose of an app.
Don't believe max contributed much... except to my like count

I find it terribly amusing, that the world's going to hell in a handbasket and here we are posting bad memes and laughing about it. Life is indeed awesome.

Poncho's pretty much the best dog in the universe.



That's saying a lot, cuz there are a *lot* of awesome dogs in the universe.

Other than economic, my personal concern is about zero... so memes are good

For most this be a lot less nasty than the flu but people acting like pigs and scared cats is going to make it hell.

No bottled water at Wallmart today.
No ammonia water.
Bunch of crippled people in electric wheel carts... they should be quarantined for their own safety.
They won't make it if this pops... they may have been exposed today as well as myself.
Meh, whatever.

I’ve never been a worried about germs or given these matters too much thought in the past, and even though I’ve become more and more concerned about what’s happening now, I’ve managed to stay pretty realistic so far. I’ve been lucky enough for most of my life to remain relatively healthy overall.

So now that I’m possibly experiencing symptoms that match those of the novel coronavirus, I’m not sure how to feel about it. I’m not panicked, but I definitely feel a real feeling of unease every time it hurts to swallow. At the same time, I know the power of suggestion is huge in times like these, so I’m trying to balance a dose of healthy fear with the facts. Unfortunately, we are in a place in the US where nobody knows how many people are actually infected with this virus and how many may just be sick with the variety of other bugs floating around this time of year.
I probably don’t have CoVid-19 right now, but the responsible thing to do right now is to act as though I do and adjust my behavior accordingly. Even if I do have it, my chances of actually dying from it are low, (which is somehow less comforting than you would think it would be). After I hit the ”post reply” button here, I’ll probably go take my temp, disinfect the things I’ve touched recently, and do what I can to keep away from my roommate and her daughter. And of course, I’ll wash my hands (again).

Let’s face it, none of us really know what the fuck is going on or how many people are actually infected. This is especially true here in the United States.

One thing is for sure, I’m definitely not holding my breath to get tested!

^Best to not get tested. It won't help you and just increases your exposure; avoid doctors offices, hospitals, etc.
This is -extremely- contagious.
Avoid contact with people until it's sorted out... probably doesn't matter though. Just avoid those most vulnerable.

The service industry and those who are closely interdependent on them are suffering. The local weekly alternative newspaper is actually begging for donation, because they depend on service and event oriented ad revenues.

it's right-wing propaganda horseshit and people like Blackhawk believe it to be unquestionably true. that is incredibly dangerous.

this whole outbreak shit could've been dealt with had their been actually adults running the country and not some screamy orange-haired spray-tanned moron perched in the white house.

As a result of his professional inadequacies, more people are going to die than should've. And fox fucking news was leading the misinformation campaign.

so here we are now...

Fox News is running with the fear-fright-hysteria angle and leaving out important details.

Maybe it would have been helpful to add this letter from the Hoboken Police Chief, but they didn't.

So Fox News, is being Fox News. That's old news.

Trump is a moron, that's old news too. Although he is following the RNC Platform which he had almost nothing to do with. When Romney won the nomination in 2012, he micromanaged the platform committee to make the party more centrist. Trump on the other hand completely ignore the platform debate which resulted in the most conservative platform since Wendel Willkie.

I think we're all capable of rational and critical thinking. Simply taking one source as gospel is not rational and critical thinking.

The worst kind of shit.

Simply sourcing nothing more.
Don't have the patience to go through multiple bs "news" sources.
