Because I said so. You doing a bromance road trip is uplifting.
... Splinty @Splinty SC MMA MD @SC MMA MD this old Scouser Scallywag Pirate is making way less sense than normal, is that a symptom of Covid19? Or is the syphilis she got from John the Baptist kicking up in her brain? (For those keeping score at home, that's an age joke burn, a "she a ho" burn, and a biblical reference..... I'm averaging more points that James Harden right now)

That's really good to hear. Thank you for sharing what you guys are doing since there doesn't seem to be nationwide guidance here.
I'm 100% masked in all patient care. And yes I find myself sometimes having to take a really deep breath because I feel like I'm suffocating.
My OR masks are more comfortable but these (yellow ones over the ears) are cheaper.
I am stuck with the ear loop ones as well now. I can tie the OR ones so there is a decent airflow from the side, the ear loop ones feel like one of those stupid elevation masks and look even dumber.

No particular story, he is one of the only members here who knows me well enough in real life to know I might have some issues. @Rhino also probably figured that out when I dropped in at his school
You actually ventured and didn't welch like my bud Conor?
Be okay, matey. I know I'm flying off the handle left right and centre emotion wise but we need people like you so much right now. Bunch of love for you.

I don't know which is worse. You calling me old or saying I'm from fucking Liverpool. Only time I went to see them they beat us in the FA Cup and I cried. For hours.

The cardboard straws are tough enough to use. If I have to drink out of a god damn mask I’m fucking out!
I like how there are biodegradable plastic straws, but people pretend that paper straws are a good solution.

Info on how the death boat disembarking process is going to go:

The process of disembarking passengers could last through Saturday...

Passengers who aren’t sick or showing flu-like symptoms will be escorted off and allowed no contact with the public, a county official told the South Florida Sun Sentinel. Private buses, paid for by the cruise company, will take them to empty tarmacs for charter flights. The Floridians will be driven home, except for those living north of Ocala, who will go home on charter flights.

Of the amount of time it’ll take to disembark, passengers only will “get off the ship when the plane is ready” to take them to Europe or other locations, a county official said. Most of the flights are scheduled for Friday — starting with a 10:30 a.m. flight to Toronto — but a flight to Heathrow Airport isn’t leaving until Saturday. There are 226 people who will be on that flight to London.

Why did Corona spread so quickly in the USA, was it because of idiots flying from other countries?
Ignore the retards lying and saying Trump called this a hoax which he did not and it's shameful people keep repeating that lie. You had leaders basically encouraging people to gather in events in places like New York City and saying the virus was not a big deal and it was racist if you didn't partake in activities. You also had this which includes 759,493 people from China flying into the United States infecting us everywhere...

Top Japanese Official Calls For W.H.O To Be Renamed ‘China Health Organization’ | News Thud

Japan’s Deputy Prime Minister, Taro Aso, slammed the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) for supporting communist China’s propaganda amid the coronavirus outbreak, saying it should be renamed the “China Health Organization.”

“Although the details are murky, the W.H.O.’s previous director-general was a Chinese national, and at the time, there were complaints all around, and now at least the petition has gathered 300,000 signatures or rather 500,000 signatures.”

“People think the World Health Organization should change its name,” he added.

“It shouldn’t be called the W.H.O., it should be renamed the C.H.O., this appeal is truly resonating with the people.”

Anyone filing for unemployment, it's arduous but seems to be rolling along. Husband had to upload his CV and our bank account statements etc but it seems like in a couple of months we might be getting $450 a week.

Again, not looking for a handout, he's paid so much in tax in this country it's times like these where you deserve it. Breaking my heart that such a stoic person has to do it.
that is literally what you pay in to it for. it is not a hand out. you are entitled to that money

I'm lucky in a way that my medical bills are company run rather than government, so it isn't going to fuck with it the amount I owe. Worry about that if it comes back.

He legit lost his job due to this pandemic, no fault of his own. We really could use a break at this point though, the last 18 months have been hell, his company laying him off knowing my mother passed away and then me going through it. Assholes.

NJ is disgusting. There is a reason it's referred to as the armpit of America.

It's about more countries are considering wearing masks outside regardless of your condition, that a sneeze may cover an 8m distance. That we should learn from Asian cultures, etc. Slowly people are catching on. With mass testing this would help our healthcare workers a great deal. Czech Republic has a mandatory mask order I believe.
I wss outside spray painting a skateboard rack today. And the paint mist made it clear how far and how fast ish travels with just light wind

Nowhere is safe!!! It's in the air!!!!!
