2019 Novel Coronavirus

I think there are one or two in California too
 

Yep, well, sort of. Our governor went and ate a meal indoors in a restaurant, like a week after he said don't do that. Or something like that?

Our governor told us to stop being knuckleheads and then he got COVID.

Yep, well, sort of. Our governor went and ate a meal indoors in a restaurant, like a week after he said don't do that. Or something like that? 

IIRC, he threw a fairly large birthday party in a private room at a restaurant with no masks.  He also tweeted to "shop local" after putting countless locals out of business...

If anyone actually listened to that and went home and drink bleach then we are better off without them

But don’t forget all these mayors....

And let’s not forget their queen....

you know there are no do overs in life and I think most all elected officials of all political affiliation wish they could get a decision or two back, but the one thing Id really like to see the world come together on is how the F is this happening?



Maybe  china is cooking the books, but pretty much every country of any size (not counting small islands like NZ) are trying everything to "contain" something that you cant contain and losing, yet the most populated country isnt having any issues? maybe they are wearing 2 maks and staying 8 feet apart? 

Did they shoot everyone in Wuhan? Are they just not providing numbers? Did they already develop a vaccine / magic pill?

I certainly have my suspicions, but then again they are an incredibly tightly controlled country. But I am also sure they are hiding what is actually happening.

But if you are effective at stopping people at the border and quarantining them, you can keep it under control. Like you said, NZ and even Australia (entire continent) are now Covid-free, or largely Covid-free because of this. All of the US affiliated Pacific islands (except Guam) are Covid-free, because they have maintained strict quarantine rules (Guam eliminated quarantine in June for certain US points of origin and then lost control of Covid in August).  I think the US was right to restrict travel from China and the EU when it did, but it was too late.

And the generation that made Taylor Swift a star

And deemed “Baby its Cold Outside” offensive, but “WAP” is okay.

 

[leggo PE]

Oh man, everyone loves to hate on the generations younger than them!

For the record, I love Taylor Swift.

When we got nasal swabbed, my kid was really nervous. I kept telling him, "Look over there at that person getting tested. See how fast it was?" Well then I told him to watch the car he could see easily and there was a younger girl in there and she SCREAMED when the nasal swab went in. My kid's eyes get huge and he looks over at me and I was like, "Ha ha ha, you'll be fine." The guy who swabbed our noses shoved the thing up there and then LEFT IT FOR A BIT and shoved it in further and then extracted it. It was rough.

Ugh. People who are against date-rape are SO annoying. I also hate it when women take control of their bodies. UGH.

I always thought " Baby Its Cold Outside" was a stupid song, so I didn't really pay any  attention  to lyrics.
 

I think the point that was trying to be made was what people object to now. Not really up on pop culture, but some songs are nothing but strings of profanities, calling all women prostitutes (other word used) things like that. 

The Rudolph special from the 1960s was on the other night. Had a text exchange with my brother and cousin about all the ways that would be considered offensive now, you know mocking people because they're different, bullying, sending people away because they're different.

I know standards change have come a long way sine Rolling Stones were asked to change lyrics of one their songs from "Lets spend the night together" to "lets spend some time together" so it could be played on TV
