Is she still stuck to the cold handle?
I went early to the supermarket to get some toilet paper. There wasnât much left but I got a package of six, yes! (3/customer limit.)
When I put my cart away, the cart in front had a can of beer tucked under the child seat/small rack. They canât sell beer before 9am (canât even ring it in), so I think someone tried and everyone missed that one when taking them out at the cashier. (New carts, so people arenât used to that design flaw yet.) I thought of taking it back in, but theyâd probably just have to dispose of it. So⌠FREE BEER!

Hey, @anon61221983, hereâs how you can spend the lockdown! Become the historian that future historians quote to explain how the most powerful nation in the world could fuck this up so badly, in so many ways!

Johnson did not shy away from that kind of calculus in an interview with me Tuesday.
âIâm not denying what a nasty disease COVID-19 can be, and how itâs obviously devastating to somewhere between 1 and 3.4 percent of the population,â he said.
âBut that means 97 to 99 percent will get through this and develop immunities and will be able to move beyond this. But we donât shut down our economy because tens of thousands of people die on the highways. Itâs a risk we accept so we can move about. We donât shut down our economies because tens of thousands of people die from the common flu,â Johnson said.
Johnson acknowledged that coronavirus has a far higher fatality rate than the seasonal flu, but said, âgetting coronavirus is not a death sentence except for maybe no more than 3.4 percent of our population (and) I think probably far less,â he said.
Thereâs a lot wrong with that statement, starting with the fact that Senator Johnson apparently doesnât understand how a CFR is calculated. But if Senator Johnson thinks the CFR applies to our entire population, then he is characterizing a potential 12 million deaths as acceptable losses that we will âmove beyond.â
Also, fuck this guy:
Edited to add to the quote.

I would expect nothing less from him than ratcheting up the rhetoric about how money>people at every opportunity. Fuck him and fuck Republicans. They got us into this mess and the only way we are getting out of it is with science.

I have been helping/hurting my sanity by checking the coronavirus numbers. Ohio is slowly rising, compared to other states that didnât essentially shut down this past week.
As I am reminding everyone I talk to, if nothing happens, it worked. (And wash your damned hands!)

If you wear goggles with it, it may be a good idea to pull it up so it goes a bit between lower part of goggles and face - the place around nose has the worst seal.

This is why Iâve limited my shopping to just the minimum amount. Oddly, no one was buying bananas in my area. All the stock that was being put up was green. Took two bunches. Itâs wild how much people think they need until they rifle through their shelves. I have like around⌠15 lbs of all purpose white flour. I guess Iâm making a truck ton of bread (got yeast, butter, and everything else).

or, Late Stage Capitalism Forced to Backpedal Because: Reasons
The company first hiked the price of a 50-pill bottle of 250-milligram tablets to $383.08 in December 2019, according to the Elsevier database. Following the price reduction, the company will now charge $193.61 for the same quantity â roughly the same as its price before December.
Rising Pharmaceuticalsâ price cut also comes as the drug giant Bayer announced it would donate 3 million tablets of chloroquine phosphate to the U.S. government.
The companyâs price hike capped a tumultuous 2019 for the Rising Pharmaceuticals [New Jersey, U.S.] brand. In April, its parent company Aceto Pharmaceuticals sold the subsidiary for $15 million as part of a bankruptcy filing. And in early December, the previous management group agreed to pay $3 million in restitution for conspiring to fix the price of a blood pressure drug between 2014 and 2015 â part of a long-running, 44-state investigation of generic drug industry price-fixing.

- Corona Virus = The family of viruses
- SAR-CoV-2 = The actual virus species
- Covid-19 = The disease it causes
A bit of a simplification but done for clarity

I am not sure if he understands that the âdevastationâ he talks about for 1-3% is dead. There is a huge chunk who will be alive and devastated too. But yes, asshole.

Hey, if prayer calms your mind, go for it, but keep that verse that says âFaith without works is deadâ in mind as well!
