Self isolation, social distancing, sheltering in place, whatever else you call it
Anelle replied to dr. b's topic in General Insanity
I will admit to being a bit of a jackass about the lines If it seems people aren't noticing them then I'll say something like "oh i see the marker, yeah we're going the right way" a smidge louder than is necessary. Only did it a couple of times in the early days but yeah lmao. I'm THAT BITCH. I never actually got mad or confronted anyone though, and most of the time it would just give people a lightbulb moment, but yeah. Jackass. -

Jesus, that's bleak. So much of this could have been avoided but no sense dwelling on that (even though it's really hard not to be bitter) -

like, on the one hand i'm more than happy to repeat guidelines to my parents if they'll follow them, and my mom generally actually listens (mostly.) because they live in such a godawful misinformation bubble that if they genuinely want to hear, ok but also it's not like they're totally blocked from this information. I dunno. I ain't gotta deal with them in person though, I live too far for that so it's whatever. People in my actual realistic social circles seem to accept that our stance on coming to parties and shit is "absolutely not" we got people inviting us to weddings this year tho and i'm just like fuck off with this shit i latched onto "the pandemic isn't over just because you're over it" meme but it's so fucking true -

Yeah, no need to make yourself sick with anxiety over it. I just want everyone to be mindful of their health because I want y'all to be ok ;; edit to update: aunt is feeling a bit better today, she's been able to eat and keep it down which she hasn't been able to do so they're holding off on hospital -

there's a poke place we get takeout from that has a similar thing, it's like a lil tablet on a stand that scans your face and shit for mask and they've had it for months, they got on that shit QUICK but the problem is every time we go in for whatever reason it does not register any mask I wear and starts yelling and the employees are always just like yeah you're fine we can see your mask so ?????????? -

i honestly assume it's because i'm so fucking pale that it doesn't register my skin as existing and thinks my mask is just an uncovered face -

Yeah, now that it's pointed out it seems obvious re-reading it I AM AN ANXIETY RIDDEN DUMBASS, WHAT CAN I SAY Incidentally, if either one of y'all (y'all being galeigh and desi, fuck the rest of y'all) have an amazon wishlist or something y'all want to pass time in hospital/quarantine be it book or game or something share it please! Although mailing systems are slammed maybe I can get something to y'all! -

There's definitely precedents for medications to be repurposed into things way outside the scope of what they were developed for. Hell, even Ketamine! I personally know a few people who have had some amazing breakthrough results doing clinical ketamine therapy for their depression! But with this fucking Ivermectin bullshit all these same people who are using "well there's not enough time or proof of what these vaccines do for this!" as their argument against vaccinations are somehow just champing at the bit (pun absolutely intended) to ingest horse paste because REALINFO.CUCK.INFO told them that the government knows about this but doesn't want to tell them! "Ivermectin's been around for years! It's proven!" I saw someone say. Yes, it has....FOR DEWORMING. There ARE small studies trying to see if it's effective covid treatment but that doesn't mean jack shit. The disconnect is just staggering. -

fuuuuuuuuck that's scary, I hope y'all turn out negative for it. I'll just never be able to understand people behaving this way during all this. Like... I get the urge, the feeling of loss and feeling trapped, I can process that but the extra step of saying fuck it I'm tired of it so i'm going to ignore it is just not something I can relate to. -

To be clear, I'm not entirely sure what her stance on vaccines are, because she's not someone I would pin as being antivax. She's not been outspoken over it either way, but by the time she would have qualified for vaccine was around the time she found out she was pregnant and I assumed she did not get the vaccine out of concern for that (even though pregnant people can and should get the vaccine) I've had to re-examine my friendships with some people over all this. I haven't had a moment where I snapped at anyone yet but I've come close. It's all exhausting. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. -

So my dad stopped talking to me the other day because I dared to question why they had my brother and his wife and kids over days after they had attended a massive family Christmas gathering with her extended family. Today my brother told a cousin who announced he's contracted COVID that he should try to exercise it away. Like... his legit advice is "physical exercise" for a virus that affects your lungs. It's like the intelligent people I grew up with all either got lobotomized or replaced with fucking pod people and I just can't fucking cope with this shit -

It just seems like people are panicking again. So fucking dumb. We're due for a big grocery run and I don't wannaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa but the delivery selections are weirdly narrow for a lot of things and even then prone to just being out so we get incomplete orders all the time. Frustrating, but what can you do? Buying a fuckin' bidet was the best money we've ever spent I bought a big ass sam's club sized package of tp like a month or so ago because it was in stock and i figured the next panic was looming, but that'll last for ages along side the bidet. We're doing a thanksgiving thing and I'm fucking dreading it. It's small, and we've all been isolating, but ugh. It's literally the last chance we have for a holiday where lee's granddad will be with us, by next year he'll either have passed away or will have declined so much mentally he won't know any of us from the rate things are going. Last part's already happening, so my in laws are frantic to have this and I get it I just.... wish we weren't. I wish a whole lot of things weren't happening this year though. On the lighter side, we're not cooking food together like we usually do and have arranged to pick up catering from Cracker Barrel and grandmom is excited because she thinks that's very fancy. Lee and I took care of that, and we wanted to get it from a place we've been dying to have thanksgiving catering from for years (woodfire grill place that does amazing things) but that was legit TOO fancy for the family's palates so CRACKER BARREL IT IS -

we had to get out yesterday and since we were in the area we nipped in to a liquor store because we had wanted to make some cocktails at christmas but didn't have everything we thought we had on hand. We grabbed big bottles when normally we'd go smaller. Fuck it. We ain't runnin' out this time! -

Dallas County is slapping up mask mandates and some people are losing their fucking minds. They can literally die mad about it, I'm just glad that schools are part of it. shit's crazy. In other news, my dumbshit cousin has tested positive for covid, turns out she had it a full 3 days before I predicted to my mother that she'd get it within a week, so props to her for subverting expectations I guess but WERGQRTFNGWRSFBDZGAWEGDVAEWTRABFGASD -

So there's an anti-parasite medicine called Ivermectin. It is most commonly used for animals, particularly horses, so you can go to feed shops and buy it. There have been some experimental treatments for COVID that use Ivermectin as part of it, and they're largely inconclusive on whether it has any benefits. It's basically the "new" hydroxychloroquine buzzword drug that the "government doesn't want you to know!!!" type thing. So rather than seeing that there's studies about it going on and thinking "man I hope those show we can repurpose this common drug into a treatment plan, that would be great" you have people going "SEE WE'VE HAD THE CURE THE WHOLE TIME AND THEY'RE LYING TO US ABOUT IT GO TO THE FEED STORE AND BUY SOME" So you have people going and buying versions of this that are rated for horses with no idea how to dose. You have people spreading rumors about it like wildfire on social media. Some dumbass we know has fallen deep into the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and has been posting shit and once again I am just fucking TIRED -
