The government is still screaming “French kiss every stranger you meet then spit directly in to their mouths”, which is not helpful.
The wastewater numbers and test positivity in my area are both higher than previous troughs and trending up. Does that mean Covid is spreading more aggressively? Does it mean anything? The only data I have, and that as far as I know anyone has, is test positivity and wastewater numbers. I feel like I’m going fucking nuts because EVERYONE, including the fucking contagion dispersal cult, says Covid is over but the actual available data says it’s trucking right along and nothing has changed.
I want to aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Yeah I just cannot wrap my head against medical staff not masking up. I was at the clinic a few days ago, some guy could not stop coughing, and I was the only person in the building masked up.
LIke what the fuck do they think he had? Do they think he ate a hot wing too fast or something? I don’t get it at all. But then I’m also the guy who has spent his whole life bullying people to wear their seatbelts and PPE, so maybe I’m just built different/insane.
We are built different. I am definitely insane, though I think that’s a product of being more safety conscious than most and constantly being bullied by them. In 2015ish a friend of mine told me I should speed so that we could get home faster. He advised 20 over the limit in a 75 zone where I was already driving 75 (which is faster than we should allow cars to drive imho) so that we could arrive home maybe 10 minutes earlier. I said fuck that and kept the CC set to 75.
Christ I hate speeders. I’ve done the math over and over again, the distance you need to be driving to make up any appreciable time means it’s rarely ever worth it. If you’re not transporting organs the 30-90s you gain isn’t going to change your fate.
I’m all in favor of doing ludicrously dangerous things if there’s a good reason. Really, I am. I’ve done some extraordinarily stupid shit. But only when there’s a good reason, not just to shave a few minutes off a drive or because my safety glasses are slightly foggy.
