Damn. That's quite the dick move.
Holy ****. That's completely ridiculous. Glad you made it through.Quote:

And yeah - they’re on my **** list. Their home is a disaster/should honesty be condemned, so we don’t have to worry about being there. And we live several hours away, so isolating from them is pretty easy right now.
The situation genuinely out of stupidity rather than malice. But this is EXACTLY why we have a problem in the US. People aren’t taking any illness seriously and ruling out COVID-19, and people like me are making the dumb-in-retrospect decision to expand bubbles at holidays.
We’re staying as locked down as possible until we can get vaccinated.
So do you guys social distance in social situations? Like even when I'm hanging out with my friends I dont share a smoke, I tell them to cough in their shirt, I step away to cough, i wipe things down if someone is moving sloppy, dont share food or drink, I even wear masks around certain people in the house. To some degree I dont even touch the same thing. Some of my friends are hella sloppy out of ignorance, but I tell them that so they dont catch feelings when I wipe **** down after them.
I haven't been unmasked around my parents since february.

Of course. Social distancing is designed to be done when being....social. There's no point in social distancing when you're just chillin' solo. :laugh2:
You're trying too hard bud..

The Cruise Ship Suicides
https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2...alflow-organicQuote:
At first, Jozsef Szaller’s crewmates didn’t think much of his absence. Szaller, after all, usually skipped going to dinner on the Carnival Breeze, the cruise ship where they were all living under the strange and surreal conditions of a floating Covid-19 lockdown. The socially distanced buffet line could take 30 minutes to get through, and cruise workers were allowed outside their cabins at mealtime for only an hour or two. Instead of eating, he preferred using the open-air breaks to smoke on deck or grab a $1.75 vodka soda from one of the bars that was still open. Anything to survive the monotony.
Szaller had been working on Carnival ships since January, but the new coronavirus brought the industry to a halt. After pausing sailings in mid-March, Carnival Corp. and its main competitor, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., went to great lengths to repatriate vacationers, sending passengers home by chartered flights. Crew members didn’t receive the same treatment. After the guests went home, tens of thousands of workers stayed at sea for months. Some described feeling like prisoners or pieces of cargo with no ETA.
It was May 9, a Saturday, when colleagues realized Szaller had missed his daily temperature checks. Friends said they hadn’t seen him since Wednesday. According to interviews with crew and official documents, a team was dispatched to check on him but found his cabin door blocked by something heavy. They managed to push it open a crack. A crew member reached through, felt a shoulder, and shook it. No response. Then they went into the adjacent room, stepped out onto the terrace, and, with the Atlantic Ocean swelling below, climbed over the railing onto Szaller’s balcony. Once inside his cabin, they found their colleague’s slumped body. Szaller’s face and arms were blue. Blood trailed from his mouth to his white T-shirt. A belt was around his neck.
I don’t have social situations.Quote:

My wife works from home, so her exposure is basically whatever my exposure is.
I work in manufacturing seemed essential, so if I was going to contract COVID-19, odds were high it would come from work barring someone ill traveling...which my parents decided to do.
You brought up a relatively silly question and I answered it. I am so sorry that you're perennially butthurt about me having a history of calling you out on your nonsense.Quote:

Legit the military should be doing this ****. Army national guard army engineer corps. Someone. But yet again that would probably scare people.
But in all seriousness that's how it needs to be done. If you want to stop having the states fumble the ****** hand off from the feds at the goal line it's time to call in the professionals
