amazingly, not going away right after the election

 

[Darkstone42]

I am absolutely furious at Donald Trump and every leader below him, appealing to him, who failed to meaningfully address this pandemic. I am furious at the heads-in-the-sand people who wouldn't take basic precautions for their fellow man. Furious about the unnecessary suffering and loss of life and grieving. And furious personally that I will, for the first time in my life, have to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas basically alone. Sure there will be some texting friends, there will be video chats with my family, but I won't get to share a meal with anyone, or hug anyone, and I'll have only my cats for real, tangible company in my apartment.

I already lost my slow-pitch leagues, and pickup hockey and basketball, and pub quiz to this pandemic. I had friends get jobs and move away who I couldn't see off. I didn't get to celebrate defending my PhD with anyone. And now the 10 days a year I get to spend with family are gone, too.

And to be clear, I've been extremely lucky with respect to this pandemic. Not many people close to me have tested positive for it, and those few have had mild cases. I haven't lost anyone to it yet, and for that I'm deeply grateful. And even with that good fortune, it's been soul-crushing and left me in the worst mental place I've maybe ever been in.

be well bud... science is on the job in all parts of the world.
So far only one government seems to be actively hindering it, but that's coming to an end


in more depressing news - my leper colony idea seems like a decent spot for people like these

We can make Ryan Miller the governor.


Not terribly surprised that people created fake test results. What's the quote; "If we hang the capitalists, a capitalist will sell us the rope". Punish the dipshits doing it. And now it's going to take even longer to get into another country because no one is going to take any results. They are going to do their own tests upon arrival. Good jorb.

Wonder how they are going to prove who has gotten the vaccine when the time comes? Tie it to your passport maybe?

I would just say there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You're right to be angry but keep in mind that despite how useless Trump was at tackling this thing it did likely cost him a second term (I'm pretty convinced he was headed to re-election before this and I don't think that's a crazy theory considering how close the vote was). And though leaders elsewhere may have been more compassionate and driven in tackling it the truth is, as far as the western world goes, we all basically did a terrible fucking job with it and continue to do so. Europe's a mess, Canada's not much better, people are dying in large numbers again and there is an underground economy for fucking weddings and other events that is making everything so much harder to get under control. It's cliche but we really are all in this together and hopefully we won't be for much longer.

I was kind of forced into it by my circumstances but I honestly just plunged myself head-first into work and it's kept me sane. I don't know what I would've done without that. I'm sure you've run the list of shit you can do to busy yourself a thousand times by now but if there's anything you think can distract you on a daily basis roll with it. I felt a lot of what you do right now at the start of this nightmare and doing so helped a lot.

I was doing alright while I had a job doing campaign work. But now that's over, and I'm back in my lonely, anxious headspace. The issue I'm having is there are definitely things I need to do. The apartment needs a thorough cleaning. I've got extra stuff to give away and sell to clear some space and make it easier to move when the time comes. I should be applying for jobs.

I just have no motivation to do any of those things, either. I'm pretty much just playing video games nonstop. Though, now I have to stop because all my controllers are broken. (I didn't throw them, they're just crappy, and wore out from use, which is what I get for buying them aftermarket and on the cheap.)

Have you considered floating leper colonies? I mean ... people just love cruising THAT much!

my wife is driving me crazy as she keeps sending me all of these travel deals.
I shut down the Manitoba idea in the summer, I'm not going to book Costa Rica in March

and she tried to talk me into going back to Tahiti for a Christmas cruise. only 75 passengers aboard the Paul Gauguin.
yes, and 4 of them will have the 'Rona, and the islanders will not want to see 75 potential petrie dishes invade there island for knick knacks and vanilla beans.
and I don't want to use rental scuba gear right now thank you.



* interesting thing I learned, the south pacific did not have mosquitoes until Europeans arrived and the larvae was in the on-board water supply.
thanks obama.

My family is planning a birthday celebration for my mom (she turns 90 in December) back in Alberta. They want me to be in person and I said to them you guys are burning up with COVID currently and we're not doing much better here in BC (we just had an outbreak at the hospital in Nanaimo). I said, we have the technology to Skype, Zoom etc., let's use that and stay safe.

/I am the black sheep of my family lol

This could be the perfect opportunity for the south pacific islanders to revert back to cannibalism... COOK THE MEAT WELL TO KILL BACTERIA/VIRUSES!

/i dont think we’re doing christmas family dinners this year ... at this rate anyways ...My wife saw a 4 day ski trip at revelstoke mountain, 4 3 day ski passes and kids stay free for $900

 

[puckhead]

new one day record in BC.
thanks obam-abbotsford

I said it before on here but closing the rental halls were probably the wrong thing. Drove everything underground and away from govt oversight/enforcement. People were screaming for it though

Fraser health put out those infographics yesterday showing how the virus spread from a 50 person wedding. I got news for yah ... there was a super duper spreader event in Abbotsford that they arent publicizing.
I understand why theyre not talking about it...theyre already did direct contact tracing (did they get them all though?) and they dont want a surge in targetted racist hate crimes (there were 2 incidents last weekend).

On that note:
There are now over 11000 people self isolating in bc

Just got tested. Have a couple of symptoms pretty hard, but none of the really bad symptoms (trouble breathing, dry cough). Probably just a bad cold/flu.

We'll find out in a couple of days I guess.

BBB should post that he thinks you definitely have COVID.

 

[elocomotive]

Why not just put your foot down and do it now?

...Who am I kidding, they will just say Maryland is afraid to face them.

I think DeWine is actually probably being smart here from a compliance/politics standpoint - he's giving people a chance to correct the problem themselves. Then he can say he gave everyone a chance to improve things voluntarily.

And Maryland IS afraid to "face" Ohio because they probably don't have masks on. (Also b/c we voted for Biden 2 to 1 and b/c we aren't very good at football.)

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Was supposed to be getting on a plane to Ireland tonight. Instead I'll probably be watching shitty horror movies at home. Again.

Fuck this stupid virus.
