My very republican mayor and local health officials and doctors had to literally beg people at this week's news conference to wear a mask because our hospitals are being overwhelmed. My community is so fucked. This winter is going to be nasty. I thought we could keep our viral spread low enough that the holidays wouldn't totally fuck us all, but man was I wrong.
Nothing makes me more bitter than listening to the neighbors throw a Halloween party while I'm on god knows what month of quarantining trying to keep the fucking ingrates in this country safe.
I think at this point we should look at it as keeping us and our families safe. There’s a lot of mouth breathers out there who don’t care about their own or their family’s health and safety. I won’t wish I’ll on them, but I also won’t feel sorry for them when their actions come back to bite them on the ass. And you know they’ll be the ones crying the loudest.
The may cry the loudest but it will be improper crying, because the blame will be on ANYTHING but themselves. Fuck them. This pandemic was an application for every citizen to demonstrate how logical or illogical they are when faced with a genuine threat. It has revealed people’s true colours, and helped marked them as human beings to avoid in our lives at ALL cost. Let them stew in their little bubble until their own stupidity just plain fucking kills them. Let’s not waste resources trying to save people who factually don’t deserve it, this ten strikes-and-your-out shit has got to go, these people are a legitimate menace to society. Treat Pandemic deniers/“New Normal Protestors” like Giuliani treated war veterans and the mentally ill in NYC: throw them in prison, because being that stupid actually is an illness.
Yep. My across the street neighbor that we are friends with conveniently did not mention out of town friends coming to visit them this Halloween weekend while I stood on her front porch and she mentioned driving to California to visit another friend. She is very social and isolation was ''killing'' her. K. She speaks sympathetically to our safety measures but actions speak louder than words and it is making me feel bitter. This woman is obese and has severe asthma that is somewhat resistant to steroid therapy when she has flare ups. If she catches covid there is a really good chance she will die. And that no one will be able to visit her at the hospital when it happens. It'll be a ''tragic'' death. One that I saw coming a mile fucking away.
They're 20 something kids trying to get laid on Halloween. Even if they catch it, they'll most likely shake it off easily, and I doubt they'll ever be aware of the more vulnerable people they spread it to.
https://youtu.be/RIu4W-oSZtM @Nettdata called it. We're getting mainstream personal respirators coming on to the market now. This little nugget is coming out of Toronto. Apparently it's not the first product on the market, but it's the first with that "mainstream" appeal, and a high level of production quality. Important to note that airplanes have already preemptively banned a lot of these devices for safety and comfort reasons. We all know that "comfort" isn't exactly a priority, but there have been reports of fist fights coming off from people trying to bubble off space on planes (that they shouldn't be on in the first place).
That is asinine. There already are “mainstream “ personal respirators on the market, 1/5 that size. They’re called half-face air purifying respirators (APR). Being half-face they don’t cover your eyes so your vision remains unobscured. And they’re readily available from numerous places, including Home Depot. What is even the point of that monstrosity?
Claustrophobics, and people in general, have aversions to wearing things that touch their faces. Glasses are kiiiind of an exception, but usually glasses wearers have been wearing them from a very young age.
That person does not have boobs. It's been that long since the boobie thread was updated that you've forgotten that boobs and mustaches do not appear on the same body... usually.
Yes, I do realize that person does not have boobs. However, in the video, there was a person wearing the thing and it was strapped over her boobs. It didn't looked particularly sealed, similar to the shoulder gap. I didn't explain myself very clearly.
