Pub is taking names and phone numbers of all customers now. I guess If someone gets the bug they call us up.

New mask measurements today too

Only once and if you have symptoms.
Most of the urgent care facilities around me are no longer offering them. The insurance racket in Va stopped covering them last month so now everything has to be out of pocket and that means there's less guaranteed money coming from the testing sooooo they're just not really offering anymore.

But hey.. if we stop testing due to insurance reasons then we'll have less people testing positive so there's that

if there's one thing we know about this virus, it's that it's doing it for the attention.
If we stop counting sick people, the virus will lose interest in humans.

one of my wife's friends is a nurse with an obese husband. She caught COVID, but her test was false negative so they told her to go home and isolate...he caught COVID and within 3 days of first symptom died.

a guy from my jiu-jitsu school (early 30s I'd guess) caught it from his wife, also a nurse, and he died today.

It just feels like the impact of the virus is slowly finding it's way in to the circle of people I care about.

I'm sorry to hear about your acquaintances.


This is going to be immensely unpopular but I really think something needs to be done about healtcare workers spreading covid around. I have no idea what that thing would be, but it isn't even an issue that seems to be discussed by anyone.

If only the USA had the resources to properly test them, trace them, and provide them with basic necessities so they have less of a need to possibly expose others...

It's every country in the world. You're also ignoring that in the anecdotes he's mentioning they're people who live in their households.
