I just cannot understand what possesses people to be such obnoxious pieces of shit to people like that. Get over yourself you selfish fucking assholes. Good god.

I think we've all got colds but we're going to get COVID tested just in case because Xy/Betty and Rigo/Jenny are here and I just don't want to take chances even if we plan to just meet up outside and shit.

I saw someone that seemed knowledgeable on Reddit saying the "no antibody" thing is a red herring. Basically your body can spin that shit up quick if the virus hits you again with little to no consequences. I meant to read more about it. The whole herd immunity by everyone going out and getting it thing still seems fucking stupid to me though. You want to get herd immunity by having a fucking vaccine... Not by everyone getting the god damn virus.

Christ just...I hope everyone ends up okay. I just want this shit to be over.

Vaccine is not going to be a huge factor until all the adults get it. Once Jovanna AND I have it, we can definitely alter our behavior. City of Phoenix apparently will be having their own setup and plans going so my wife is kind of keeping an eye on that to see when she might get to go. She's got some risk conditions so we're hoping, you know, earlier.

Nice that it didn't take forever to get the tests at least. Good to hear.

It's weird how badly they're handling this. It's frustrating because there's clear science showing that this shit is useless and then it's harmful to everyone to just close all this shit down for no real reason. It's the "just in case" shit I cannot stand because you can't argue against just in case, even when you have facts showing it's fucking stupid. Like...where the fuck are all the "it's science" people now??? It's not a trivial thing to just shut down half the city man. Come on.

Jesus that is disturbing.

@Galeigh I am so sorry to hear this man. I don't even know what to say. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you. My heart breaks for you.

I mostly just feel tired and have a slight headache that went away after some more sleep.

Oh yeah he was talking about it the other night. They knew it was there but had other shit to take care of so they could get her into surgery.

I don't get this. They added 65+ to 1B even here so what in the fuck is Alabama doing? Who is more susceptible than old people???

That's pretty disgusting. Please learn how to be a human being in society please. Thanks.

Best part is all those corporate owned places are probably loving it because they can ride out the wave on credit while all their competition slowly fails and closes. Bars and social shit like that still being open just seems ridiculous though.

Couldn't they do that before if they wanted to? I'm confused.

A mix of contrarianism and doing the opposite of what the government says even if they're right mixed with selfishness imo. It's not actually a hard thing to do at all.

Jovanna got a job helping the city with the vaccine stuff so I think she's going to be able to get one really soon. Definitely going to be relieved if that works out.

Yup this is how I got in early basically. Places that have more vaccines available than they have people scheduled for the day. At that point, you might as well.

@Galeigh I'm really sorry to hear about your uncle. Glad you got your mom to the hospital quick and I really hope things go well for her. If you need anything bud, let us know. I can't imagine how shitty you must be feeling right now.

The sale is going to come back anyway. Not sure why you gotta be such a fuckhat about it.

Feel bad for you both. My job fortunately allows me to just work at home so I've been fortunate. Even here with the Republican governor, we still have mask mandates. Of course I still see plenty of dipshits not wearing them but I live on the side of town with less entitled rich people so it seems to be less prevalent here. On the other hand, we went to the Kneaders over here to eat outside (it's nice, I don't want COVID by sitting around people inside a building, etc) and Jovanna said there were a shitload of people packed in there. Like...why? In "well I guess it could have been worse" news, Jovanna just missed the seniority cutoff and they're making a bunch of the convention center employees move to other city jobs. I'm glad that they aren't just firing them or laying them off but she has no idea where she's going to go (she started applying for vacant jobs) and she also has no idea how long (UP TO 3 YEARS possibly???). So she's been really stressed out about this. It sucks but I am really glad that they ARE going to move her instead of firing her. Kind of a good news bad news kinda thing.

Yeah that's what I said. It IS indeed generic advice. I'm saying there isn't anything specific, it's all shit people see discussed and then run away with having little to no understanding what they are regurgitating (huge game of telephone).

Everything here is dumb and the news is being dumb to scare everyone extra to get more eyeballs. Things I'm frustrated by: No one will just wear a mask. They bitch about it constantly and I see so many people out without them walking into stores and shit. The news is lying about things to make them look way worse than they are which makes having a conversation about this really difficult since they are RIGHT that the news is lying. Are things bad in AZ? Yes, they are. Is the news massively inflating HOW bad they are? Yes. They report things that have several mitigating factors and go "LOOK AT ALL THE CASES" while ignoring any and all other factors. It's frustrating. I watch our data dashboards. Shit is definitely not in a GOOD place. Everything sucks and I can't do anything. I feel bad that Luna is getting basically no human interaction other than us. That can't be super good for her development. We are at least taking this time to potty train Luna so I guess that's using the time wisely? I have vacation time and I can use it to do... ?????????? Shit is closing down permanently all over the place because of the shutdowns. Why do we need the shutdowns? Because people can't willingly be responsible and take precautions. Cool. Things that are kind of cool I haven't physically been to work since February and I might not have to go back until next year Good news bad news here...I've tracked down and bought all kinda of comic shit but also dear god the money spent Because of crappy supply issues, PS4s and Xbones are constantly going in and out of stock and I sold my old ones for enough money to pay for the PS5 when it comes out. Also the SNES controllers that Nintendo sells for Nintendo Online members just came back in stock and I got 2. My family isn't stupid. When things LOOKED like they were going to be fine back in early June, they tentatively scheduled a get together which we then cancelled without any fuss at all. Everyone pretty much was like yeah this ain't gonna work. My grandparents at that same time decided to go out and eat at Cracker Barrel and they're now...not doing that again. My mother despite leaning right politically has taken this seriously and is very rational about things. Though I feel super fucking bad she pretty much doesn't get to see Luna at all.

Seems like the perfect time to open, look at that curve go dow---wait
