Thread before the Gardening Thread: Time standing still? [KT]
For years, Mandy the Skeleton has helped UNLVBut Las Vegas is not all that far away from Arizona. Where I live, in California, ASU has been heavily advertising 100% online degrees. Think all those students will be coming back to campus, Mandy? Are things going to get back to normal?
students in Lied Library prepare for anatomy and physiology exams. But Mandy has a lot of free time on his hands since the COVID-19 pandemic sent the campus into a remote instruction mode. Here's a peek at how he's spending his days, following social distancing guidelines and wearing a mask out in public, as he waits for campus to re-open and students to return.
Manhattan will be like it was in the 1970s again, only there is no young Donald John Trump on the horizon to reverse the fleeing, and there is no Rudy Giuliani to fight the crime. This is tragic. 8 million people will suffer for a far longer time than most people realize. If you think I get any joy out of this, you are wrong. I have seen economic devastation in West Virginia, and yes, it catches up with the local paper.
The pair have released a statement telling four British newspapers that they are barred from all future access, but the papers have confirmed to the Velvet Hamster that they don't want it anyway. "To be honest, they who won't stop pitching us stories and sending grainy photographs" said a spokesman for the papers in question. "When they left for Canada, we thought maybe we'd stop hearing from them, then certainly when they moved to Los Angeles, but here they are. We're honestly really confused by this statement and would like to reiterate that nobody actually cares what the second-in-line's brother does. Most of the time, we can't remember the first-in-line's brother's name. Not the Epstein one, the other one."I have not confirmed the accuracy of this report. They seem to have been demoted, though.
What a difference a pandemic makes. In January, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, stunned the world by announcing their intention to quit the royal family. The media gave "Megxit" saturation coverage, treating it like the most significant royal news story since the abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936. The Spectator argued the couple "represent the triumph of celebrity over royalty. " But then this coronavirus broke out and the monarchy came roaring back. Queen Elizabeth II gave a powerful, inspiring speech to encourage her people: "I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge, and those who come after us will say the Britons of this generation were as strong as any, that the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet, good-humored resolve, and of fellow feeling still characterize this country." Many viewers said they were moved to tears. No celebrity could have united and reassured the British people the way their queen did. . .There may be exceptional celebrities out there. Please let us know if a particular celebrity has reassured you during this pandemic. Bad Normy Timing I have a young relative who chose the time just before the lockdown to leave the security of unionized trash hauling to open a painting business. Trash hauling is secure in a pandemic. Painting may not be considered to be "essential" by the authorities. Kinda scary, but he was more prepared than I expected, and I think he is going to be OK. Doing some personalized, local advertising. Has a lot of friends. Anybody you know caught off guard by the lockdown? Have you had to make some alterations to your future plans? Music Do the hustle. At home, maybe.

I was getting ready to move. I'd located but hadn't toured an attractive, and only slightly overpriced, apartment complex. In fact I went by in the first weekend of March to take a tour. Office closed, no signs up. I spoke to a couple of residents who think highly of the place, though. So I was all ready . . . and then this.
The last thing I want to do is move during the summer heat, which here lasts from March until December. But if I renew my current lease this month, I'll have to break it, which will run me about 2 months' rent; or stay here (gah!) until next April/May.
This is all minor league compared to people who have lost jobs or family members, but that was my plan, now disrupted.

One of my sisters and the other sister's husband lost their jobs just before the lockdown. Not WuFlu related, just bad timing. BIL found a new job pretty quickly, but sister is still struggling. There is a company who wants to hire her, but they are shut down right now.
As for alterations to future plans, I guess we'll have to see how long-ranging the damage is. Hubs and I were on a 5-7 year timeline to retire, that may have to be pushed back.

28 - Baby #5 arrived just before everything got crazy, though I had a
cough at the time, and I got worried looks from the nurses a couple of
times. Who knows.
Between winter in WI, a difficult pregnancy, being home with a
newborn and all this COVID-19 stuff, I feel like we've all been stuck in
the house forever. Except now there's no chance to call a babysitter
or get any help or do anything. My husband has been helping our priest a
lot with services to be livestreamed, and so we had the chance to go to
church on Easter (4/19), except that we knew it would not be good to
bring the 6-year old and 3-year-old because there was no way they were
going to be able to stay perfectly quiet and off-camera. An old friend
of my husband's agreed to watch them but then chickened out at the last
minute. I was not just livid, but devastated. And I was already not
doing great. Burst out crying when I heard that Evers extended the
order. I don't have any idea how to do another month of this. My
toddler's idea of distance at this point is using her own pillow, rather
than sharing mine. My stress levels were already so high that in the
hospital they had me go through preeclamsia screenings multiple times.
Seriously wanted to go to Madison yesterday, but I don't know the area
well enough to have been comfortable loading up the crew, driving
two-ish hours, etc. So I'm not really doing great, not really enjoying
the "extended vacation", if you get my drift.

My guess is that some students will go online, but most won't. You can't drink to excess and have sex with others your age via the internet. Well, it's not quite the same anyway. Who wants to give up a 5 year party?

Say you have paid ten years of a twenty year term life insurance policy. They buy the remaining ten years (for not much) on the chance that you will die and they will collect the payout. The amount you get is based on the mortality tables the insurance industry uses. They know exactly the odds, though in this case you would think you would get paid MORE for being a smoker or having a medical condition...

Its just a wee thing, but I normally haul to group distance rides. Was thinking I'd go to one last weekend, canceled. Figured I would skip one this weekend if it happened, then could not go cuz WY was requiring 2 week self quarantine for anyone coming from out of state and gatherings still limited to 10 (organizer was going to go ahead with herself, the vet and 8 riders but the nat. org revoked sanctioning for all rides through May 11)
But in general I am busier than ever. I probably work a bit more WFH than I did when I went in to office and I've been trying to catch up with the farmyard chores. 10 acres, 9 horses, and over 30 trees. Plus outdoor rec areas never closed down here so I've been riding with friends about every other week. I was going to burn a bunch of brush but my permit request was rejected due to covid-19. 'cant put smoke in the air with the respiratory concerns'.

I never heard of it, because I couldn't care less. But sure, now that I've looked at the pictures, there might be a resemblance. But not necessarily more of a resemblance to Charles.
It's sorta like the Michelle is a dude thing. You can see it... if you're looking for it, but if you aren't, then yeah, it's not convincing.

So I friend of mine here in Illinois couldn't get into frigging Menard's without wearing a mask. Which would be silly even if kung flu was a serious disease as Menard's is basically a warehouse that you walk through, with aisles designed to let carts full of plywood pass each other.

Sure . . . but people still need oil and its byproducts, just less of them right now. It's not as if gasoline has been superseded by matter-antimatter reactors.
The company may need to economize, of course. But as far as I know, the foundation has made good investments and has not lost too much. I hope.

I wish I could go help her, but she won't let me as I am immune-compromised. She is at the end of her rope. It sounds like that's where you find yourself today.
I am also in Wisconsin. I also have some choice words for Evers. I too wish I could have been in Madison yesterday. I too about screamed when I couldn't go to church on Easter.
You are in a bad place. The disciples themselves were in a bad place following the crucifixion. They themselves went into lockdown mode, hidden behind closed doors. Then Jesus appeared to them on Sunday, risen from the dead, and said "Peace".
May God wrap you in His loving arms of peace. Right now it looks like Good Friday, but Sunday's coming.

Great humiliation and breaks down the prisoner's self___ as tough guys.
Plus, enforces the idea of compliance among the prisoners.
Probably, take a few hickory shampoos combined with solitary to get the ball rolling but..eh, that's okay.

Wife has a FB friend who was going to Retard's with her teen son. They got stopped by employee Karen who demanded *she* prove her son was 16. He flashed his ID, then said "Come on mom, we'll buy my light bulb somewhere else." Is that a regular policy, or somehow inscrutably linked to Kung-Flu?
BtW, Lowes is bidness as usual.

This is tragic. 8 million people will suffer for a far longer time than most people realize. If you think I get any joy out of this, you are wrong. I have seen economic devastation in West Virginia, and yes, it catches up with the local paper.
Then again, people in West Virginia didn't spend the last several decades calling people cousin-humping unpeople from Jesusland if they weren't from WV, expecting the rest of the nation to cater to their every whim, and demanding that everyone else empty their wallet and send the contents to the local city government. You know, like New Yawk has been doing since at least the '40s.
Sorry, Surber. My give-a-fuck meter for New Yawk is out of order.

I assume they collect the proper papers beforehand.
You know, if someone dies, and they have a life insurance policy, usually when you get the funeral home involved, they insist you sign over the portion for their expenses out of the life policy of the deceased.
They don't want to be hunting anyone down afterwards for payment, threatening to dig up the corpse and take back their caskets and embalming fluid.

Katja, I hope you're still here. I too am a mother of five. My fifth was a baby when 9/11 happened. We are in the DC area and all we knew was that our country was under attack. I wondered that day if we would see my husband again - we live close enough to DC that if another country attacks with purpose, we'd all be gone.
Then a year later, we had the sniper attacks. It was worse than this, actually. We had the freedom to go out but we had a couple of madmen out there shooting people randomly. The schools had dark paper over their windows. All sports, all activities were canceled. Gas stations had tarps hanging up to hide people pumping gas from the snipers (gas stations were a favorite target, but not the only one).
The point to all of that is that you can do this. Believe me, you can. Right now you are being flooded with your post-pregnancy hormones and you have your children to watch after. But if you can, bundle them up and take them outside for a walk every day. Read books to them. Don't be afraid to put on a kids movie like Mary Poppins and sneak in a nap on the couch while you are watching with them.
You can do this! As one mom of five to another, I know you can. I'll be praying for you.

The first three weeks of shutdown were the three weeks before the international test for my seniors, so that was a nightmare. My 7th graders didn't get their surprise party to celebrate 100% of them turning in complete essays.
Other than that, the Work-from-home situation has really revealed a lot of hidden crud, especially seeing the disparity in work ethic and ethics in general.

----------------------------------------------------------------
That was a nice "speech" and I've always respected Elizabeth II. But at the time she gave it, the Leftists here in the US swooned and we were treated to articles about how "Trump could learn from the dignity of the Queen."
Elizabeth is an un-elected Monarch who taped her speech and didn't have to answer questions from a pack of braying jackasses afterwards.
Yes, let's make Trump a Monarch who doesn't have to answer to the media.

That was a nice "speech" and I've always respected Elizabeth II. But at the time she gave it, the Leftists here in the US swooned and we were treated to articles about how "Trump could learn from the dignity of the Queen."
Elizabeth is an un-elected Monarch who taped her speech and didn't have to answer questions from a pack of braying jackasses afterwards.
Yes, let's make Trump a Monarch who doesn't have to answer to the media.

I checked the IRS site for status on payment on Friday (have never done direct deposit). It finally let me enter my bank info (I'd been getting that weird message about no info). So, hopefully something shows up. No check so far before this.

So they wait until Biden essentially wins the nomination and everyone drops out, then mysteriously an old story that was known appears out of blue and starts gaining traction, not before the general election, but before the Democrat Convention.
Curious.

Katja,
This too shall pass...
I remember how hard the years were when I was pregnant and/or nursing and had 3 kids in 4 years. Plus I was on bed rest for each pregnancy. Now my youngest will be 11 in August already! It does get better, I promise.

So I friend of mine here in Illinois couldn't get
into frigging Menard's without wearing a mask. Which would be silly even
if kung flu was a serious disease as Menard's is basically a warehouse
that you walk through, with aisles designed to let carts full of plywood
pass each other.

Thanks to jabba the fatass. places like menards are where people are congregating at. The one around here if it had a bar/coffeeshop/food joint
would be doing gangbuster business.

Katja, I feel for you. I don't know how people with children are coping but it must be so much more difficult with a newborn. My only suggestion is to try and set up video chats with relatives. My son facetimes me every day at dinner time with my granddaughters, 1 1/2 and 3. I try to have stuff to read to them or sing songs. It helps keep us connected. If you don;t have relatives maybe congregants at the church could help. The main thing is to make sure others know what you are going through. Try and get outside whenever possible. Play music and dance with the kids.
Keep us posted. People here really do care.

It may be that the Treasury is using IRS information instead of SSA: if your mom is filing tax returns and either indicates the refunds need to be mailed to her, or doesn't list a routing and account number because she has to pay (and they use that information to generate bank garnishments down the road boys and girls) the best route is mailing it it her.

When we took family vacations and had more than one car going somewhere (like grandparents) we would use the CB (Dad ALWAYS carried one in his van.)
It was very cool.

Could be they're going to stop sprinkling whatever it is on his corn flakes, and at some opportune time, they'll spring Fingerbanger Joe back on the marketplace, replacing Alzheimer Joe just in time.
But yeah, no. I still think they'll pull some broad out, someone who can verbally spar with Trump.

Menards in Quincy, IL has the age restriction, no mask required ... I saw one customer with a mask, that was all.
But that was 10 days ago ... I just checked their rules, nothing about the age limit, just encourages safe practices. AND I see they set up some special hours for the elderly and vulnerable ... 6AM .. but at least they have an option.

Briefcase, looked good _ fell apart

Not my own observation but a buddy once pointed out that department stores like Sears made their biggest money on offering up their own credit cards.
Or as he put it, they were credit card companies with store fronts.
I guess they don't do that anymore?

It's been talked about before, years ago. I was starting to believe it until I saw a picture of Prince Harry next to his grandfather, Prince Phillip, when Phil was younger in his military uniform. They looked exactly alike, almost like twins. The profile, the red hair, the nose, the smile.

I think a lot of business owners are having a somewhat different thought in their heads, one that has more to do with the practical question of whether they can afford to re-open, with the threat of the "next wave" of this thing happening in a matter of months.
Some businesses can handle an ebb and flow to their income better than others. Places like restaurants and small stores cannot.

I think a lot of business owners are having a somewhat different thought in their heads, one that has more to do with the practical question of whether they can afford to re-open, with the threat of the "next wave" of this thing happening in a matter of months.
Some businesses can handle an ebb and flow to their income better than others. Places like restaurants and small stores cannot.
Posted by: BurtTC at April 25, 2020 12:11 PM (hku12)
And that's exactly what I'm talking about. Fear of being sick for a few days. The willingness to let government tell you if you can keep your business open or not. We have given the government the power to rule our lives. It is only government that will decide our rights.
But I guess the the excitement of getting a gubmint check in the mail makes it all worth it.

As for celebrities, in a strange, roundabout way, Pewdiepie has been somewhat inspiring.
This may seem counter-intuitive at this point, but his content has been extraordinarily boring during this whole thing. He plays stupid games, or he's doing reactions to insipid content from here or there.
Not a single word about the world falling apart outside.
And that, I think, is his genius. He knows if he says one damn thing about it, they'll attack him for being a privileged celeb, or they'll go after him for misinformation or they'll say he doesn't care about the little guy or whatever.
So he plays Mindcraft and sits on his floor, letting his hair grow back.
I'm not gonna watch, but there's a subversive message here, which is only revealed by what he is NOT saying.

the only "inspiration" I recall in the pandemic, is McConnell saying the states should be able to go bankrupt, the way cities were saved by bankruptcy. Illinois made insane unfunded promised to government workers via golden pensions, and early retirements ... they all need to be cut in half, or they will start raising taxes even more ..
till people get violent because the Chicago Mafia is stealing so much, people will start losing their homes. especially in the face of hard economic times ... those with government six figure retirements will just move to Florida and laugh at how they fleeced us, fake public "servants" that they are.

Thirty years now I've been mocking the MBA-wannabe's who would come in to the office and sneer that. Thirty years they've pulled their thumb out of their ass, sucked it, and stammered. But..butt butt..that's what it says here! It's a slogan I can use to make you think I'm Outside The Box!
Priced a god-damned buggy whip lately? If you had the guts to stay with the business, you did very nicely. It was the lemmings who ran. They always do.
Studebaker made their first car in 1902 (it was electric!). They finally quit making wagons in 1922, when they moved their car line down from Detroit. But, there was still money in wagons, and they sold the wagon line to a Kentucky firm, who made money on wagons and "tack" until the Depression. And then, their most popular item, a "junior" cart, was still made until the late 30's. Pretty good run for a set of products you're making fun of.
Computers and "coding" is the modern day buggy whip.

I'm old enough to remember when masks were something that we were told not to wear, because benighted illiterate backwoods stump-toothed troglodytes like us were too rock-stupid to figure out how to wear them (around the chin and neck, if Congress' example is to be believed), and wearing one meant one less mask available for a hyper-evolved super experty expert to wear while they do important things.
Now Whitmer the Ice Witch has instructed that we are to wear one at all times, and that even a handkerchief or old t-shirt is sufficient.
I'm starting to wonder if these people might not be terribly smart at all.

No one is wanting to go back to working.
And he expects few businesses to fail. This, in a town full of hotels, motels, restaurants, bars, and vacation visitor retail.
No one is willing to protest anything in Albany.

"At Fatso's news conference on Thursday when he extended the lockdown
until May 31 he said he wants people to wear masks in stores where they
can't be more than 6 feet apart."
yeah, it sounds like it was optional, but he was encouraging it. They are seeming to do the phase one opening thing .. but indeed there is a warning from BigBro that IF we obey and behave, he won't have to come spank us and shut things down again. Seems mostly arbitrary, and slows the herd immunity.
And the smart response may have been to completely ignore most of the New Normal rules, except in hot zones ... But subways in the hottest zones had to keep running, to transport the illegals to service the elites, I suppose. Maids and pool boys are essential.

Good on ya'll! She goes to a huge suburban school, though. Not sure how they could organize that for 500 kids.
But, as her mother pointed out, since her surname means she's the last one in line, we may have dodged a bullet...
Hope our little town will do something like yours.

I have a karma-unintended-consequences for the favored class story: a company (created by the venture capitalist gangs, including Bain) seems to be on life-support right now. Won't mention the name, but it was created during the Obama years to facilitate foreign students' coming to the US to study (with that golden ticket of citizenship always in the background.) Welp, sadly, when all the students got sent back home this year, they demanded their tuitions be returned, bc tuition went through them to the schools. But, before they returned all the cash, they thought they would play some shorts in the market, totally misjudged it, and, now, are in even worse financial hell. LOL!

County, comically, declares masks required outdoors (??!!) starting May 1. WTF? I predict little compliance. The enforcement of the idiotic beach rules (can't lie down, can't sit!) could be entertaining, too.
Masks are close to irrelevant for any but the infected and strongly symptomatic. But from an idiotic populace that allows itself to be ripped off and beclowned with "climate change" nonsense, scientific illiteracy is to be expected.

I know you are angry that Americans seem to have bought into this thing of allowing government to tell us what to do, and I get that.
It's disconcerting at the very least.
However, I think maybe it's going to be more important how we move forward from here. This thing was unprecedented, and it's possible... just possible, Americans are going to figure out exactly what you want us to, which is that we can't trust government, and we shouldn't just bend the knee to their diktats.
So I've chosen to remain hopeful. People sometimes rise to the occasion, and we'll see if they do here.
If they don't and the government over-reachers figure out how easily controllable we all are, then it's lights out.

IRS follies. Finally getting a sign of life from the website, when trying to find out "status" of Trumpbucks.
It helpfully suggested, if I wanted direct deposit, to fill out the form.
The form is rejected as not matching "the information the IRS has". Um. I'm using *their* info - I overpaid last year, got a refund (with interest) - so I have a form with all the relevant numbers - THEIR numbers.
A thing of beauty, really.

But mostly it's that she's a brave woman who was sexually assaulted and had an abortion, so there. And also, she's a brave woman who has women sidekicks. And she's brave.
I have been loving the mask-wearing thing the last week because I no longer feel like a freak for wearing one to cope with seasonal allergies. Ha ha.
But for indoors, the local quilting club and another group made a ton for my workplace. It doesn't filter as well, but it's stylish. /sarcasm

Trash hauling is not only secure, but apparently recycling has gone the way of xe pronouns and cloth shopping bags.

Some wizened Karen scrawled on the opinion page of our local "news" paper that "the lack of masks on the Poudre rail is disheartening and dangerous."
This mindset is far more dangerous than the Wuhan Lung Butter. Pisses me off how so many people simply say "d'uh, okay" when told to do something pointless.
This shutdown was way too easy for the powers that be. Next time what will it look like?

Hard copies of checks? I'd say hold onto them, keep them somewhere safe. Obviously don't try to cash them.
The government has a long reach when it comes to getting their money back, sometimes years after the fact.
I'd suggest holding them, just because trying to send them back now lends itself to a challenge of what happens when the govie says they didn't get 'em.
I'm sure there are tons of these things happening all over, and eventually, in a year or two, they'll come up with an answer then. So if she's got the checks now, she might as well wait until they do.

I'm old enough to remember when masks were something that we were told not to wear, because benighted illiterate backwoods stump-toothed troglodytes like us were too rock-stupid to figure out how to wear them (around the chin and neck, if Congress' example is to be believed), and wearing one meant one less mask available for a hyper-evolved super experty expert to wear while they do important things.
Now Whitmer the Ice Witch has instructed that we are to wear one at all times, and that even a handkerchief or old t-shirt is sufficient.
I'm starting to wonder if these people might not be terribly smart at all.
Posted by: hogmartin at April 25, 2020 12:27 PM (t+qrx)
The Surgeon General was asked this at a briefing the other day, why was it not of value a month ago and today it is.
His answer was that the info in the beginning of the pandemic was that people who were infected with the virus showed obvious symptoms and wearing a mask was not as good a preventative from spreading diseases as having the person self quarantine ,i.e. you didn't want the person in the public at all. As time has gone on, the amount of asymptomatic infections has become apparent, and so masks may help to prevent the spread when asymptomatic individuals are going out into the public as they have no idea that they could be infective.
Plus, he admitted, N95 masks needed to be saved for health care workers.
I have zero issues with wearing a facemask to prevent me from spreading Covid asymptomatically. I still say they should have encouraged mask wearing right off the bat, but they didn't and I'm not going to be so self righteous as to punish them and anyone I'm around by blatantly refusing such a small gesture of protection in a "told you they were wrong" attitude.

You know it happened. You have a "morning after" pill as you're at the hospital speaking to police and pressing charges. The end.

Jen it's not exactly as you describe. I don't think they've done even preliminary research on the actual probability of transmission by other than very strong symptoms (deep cough), but there's no reason to think it's any different than for other bugs (very very low, verging on zero in most situations).
So, other than in prolonged close and confined quarters (and even then), the whole mask thing (for asymptomatic - symptomatics obviously should be hiding themselves away if possible) is a "just in case" measure that falls well outside the reasonable.
Hygiene theater. Indulging people is polite and fine, I plan just to get away from anyone who worries about it.

Let's all stand in line together and breathe each others air.

I left a 6 figure job at one of the leading Cloud services providers on Feb 25. Only to have my new higher paying job at their competition evaporate due to a hiring freeze.
I don't expect to be back to work until July or August.
However, a frugal lifestyle and a good savings plan have left me in good shape to weather the storm.
I suppose I am greatfull to my mentors for teaching me to plan ahead for I am in a lot better shape than many people in the same position.

Jen it's not exactly as you describe. I don't think they've done even preliminary research on the actual probability of transmission by other than very strong symptoms (deep cough), but there's no reason to think it's any different than for other bugs (very very low, verging on zero in most situations).
So, other than in prolonged close and confined quarters (and even then), the whole mask thing (for asymptomatic - symptomatics obviously should be hiding themselves away if possible) is a "just in case" measure that falls well outside the reasonable.
Hygiene theater. Indulging people is polite and fine, I plan just to get away from anyone who worries about it.
Posted by: rhomboid at April 25, 2020 01:18 PM (El6T/)
Yup. It's theater. And my reasoning for buying and wearing "masks" in the grocery store has to do with not wanting to have that confrontation with a Karen or anyone else.
It's not about my safety. It's about theirs, and the threat to them is not the virus.

Went to Wal-Mart this morning, and get this, scored a 12-pack of Charmin mega-rolls! (Not my usual brand, but who cares? It's TP!) One-way aisles now (mostly ignored, this being Texas). Half or slightly under of customers wearing masks, which were mostly under the nose. I didn't bother with mine, though I would have if I'd had to wear it to get Mr. Empire's prescriptions.
This is a small house with very limited storage capacity, but I'm going to figure some way to stash extra TP an canned goods in case the gummint gets stupid again during regular flu season.

vmom - pretty sure several viruses spread asymptomatically, including common colds and flus.
But not *via airborne means*. Tactile (thus the hands-washing being key). You're not yet coughing, you could still be spreading that cold you're about to realize you have.
There's a few wheels turning here - "viral load", the actual quantity of virus, as well as the vitality of said bugs, is important in actually achieving infection. So just breathing may not produce much risk of transmission. Deep cough projecting droplets - another matter (reducing risk from this is why masks are generally worn).

I thought it was established that it could spread from pre-symptomatic people
afaik flu don't spread until you get the fever though

I'm guessing millions of stimulus deposits landed in deceased persons accts. I'm also guessing millions of deposits were rejected due to closed accounts. Etc, Etc. They are never going to be able to untangle the mess. I would leave the money in the account for a year. By then she will know whether it needs to be returned or no. To try to do anything about it at this time would be futile. There is so much money being handed out they don't have a clue.

A quick check of the internet says influenza typically has a 1-4 day incubation period with most adults being able to infect others about a day before symptoms appear and up to 5-7 days after.

Oh, good grief. Do a little reading.
It's called the prodromal stage, when the virus numbers are ramping up but before they're in sufficient numbers to cause symptoms.
This shit isn't magic...Alakazam! You have the flu!
It's a common feature of just about every known virus.
In the case, of Kung Paw Lung, coughing, sneezing, hell, even toilet flushing will create enough aerosol to be contagious from non-symptomatic carriers.
Masks definitely will help, if worn correctly, against aerosol loaded with virus.
This isn't even an argument.
Cosplay the resistance if you wish but for fuck's sake, at least know what you're talking about.
Yeeesh.

I believe it's always assumed with any virus, there's going to be viral loads present BEFORE someone is symptomatic, even if it's hours rather than days.
They were doing a worst case scenario with this thing before, and I kinda think they might be right about that, but nobody really knows. In other words, the possible 14 day incubation period, if it's real, no doubt has days of asymptomatic carriers who are shedding virus.
We'll know more, once we get a more accurate count of how many people are/were actually infected. The evidence is growing that there are thousands and maybe millions of asymptomatic people who had it weeks and months ago.

If it's 3x as infectious as the flu as they claim then logic tells you that we should have 3x the number of cases as the flu. That number would be somewhere between 45 to 75 million people with the Coronavirus. I just don't see those numbers.

Since we know that asymptomatic infections dwarf symptomatic infections (by a factor of 20 to 80 depending on the study), there must be infections going on to and from them. Or the R0 value for the symptomatic people would have to be in the neighborhood of 100.

In the beginning the virus was a big scarey unknown.
China refused to let us check it out. More scarey.
The CDC fouled up and contaminated tests causing a one month delay in information.
A call had to be made. Do we go with bravado or do we consider the odds?
PDT understands math better than anyone here, excuse me Jay. And he is smarter than most Americans.
I'm content allowing Trump to make the call.
As far as the local tin-pots stupid provisions, that's a local issue.

Ever clear your throat? Sneeze after looking at a bright light? Had allergies?
There are plenty of reasons that might cause you to do these things while you also are asymptomatically carrying kung flu.
The argument that needs to be made here, I think, is that masks are a waste of effort, and an unnecessary humiliation because kung flu just isn't that dangerous.

RE: $1200 theft:
We generally didn't charge "deceased payee" cases criminally, unless it went on for a long time-- say at least a year. I'm speaking of Social Security checks.
Since most of the slugs who kept their dead mother's checks didn't have a pot to pee in, it was rare to recover the money. I mean, tax refunds would be withheld & applied to the stolen money debt, but... these kind of perpetrators tend to be a bit work shy.
I'm speaking of the district where I worked, but I think other districts had a similar policy-- if anything, more lenient than ours.

Yeah, if it was direct deposited, into an account your co-worker has access to, I'd leave it until they ask for it.
But if they are checks in her parents' names, I'd not try to cash or deposit them.

As recently as 3 months ago, Lieawatha was still telling her fans that she planned to impeach Justice Kavanaugh, based on "new information" about Blasey Ford's accusations.
I wonder if Liz thinks there's still an appetite for that among DEMs?

Earlier today, I had a big banner on my yahoo email account, "Impeach Kavanaugh!" I'd say that idea is never going to die, as stupid as it is. By not prosecuting all the liars that made claims against Kavanaugh, DOJ facilitated a weapon that will always be used against conservatives. Sending a few folks to prison, like Julie Swetnick, could have impeded that.

Expecting to talk to an IRS agent in real life about now is like going into the woods and yodeling and expecting bigfoot to yodel back.
List it in the probate.
If this is handled like an overpayment by the IRS, they will send back a note requesting repayment. You may get a waiver on any penalties if you can show an attempt to contact to request information that is not responded to.
So send a certified letter to the IRS

Communication with the IRS is a one way street.
You can't call them, you can send a letter which ends up accomplishing nothing, you can even try to pay them but if they don't send you a bill they won't accept payment.
Keep the money. If they want it back, they will let you know a few years from now. If even then....
The IRS is completely dysfunctional, so it is best to avoid trying to initiate anything with those assholes.

Surgeons and dentists wear masks all the time every day. So, it's not that masks are ineffective. It's not hygiene theater then.
But, I guess the question would be ,
what percentage of effectiveness would be the cut off for you?
Really, as Methos alludes, it's how dangerous is this virus that probably determines whether masks are a good option or not.

Wear a mask (a real mask, not a hankie or torn part of a t-shirt), if you think you might be infected. Otherwise, yeah, it's just for show.

Use a sprayer with a kerchief over your nose and mouth.

I'm sorry but this is one 100% wrong.
At least, in the world of dentistry. Dentists don't wear masks to prevent you from breathing pepperoni breath from the pizza they had for lunch.
The mouth is a very dirty place to work. And masks are worn to keep the patients germs and general mouth funk that comes out in aerosol out of the dentist's nose, lungs and throat.
Same reason goggles are worn as well.
Yes, wearing a mask will protect you from aerosol carrying viruses, etc.
It happens every single day.

There is a lot of debate in scholarly medical circles about the effectiveness of surgical masks, even absent the current WuFlu panic.
Remember, an N95 mask is 95% effective only when it has a perfect seal to the user's face. Any air going around the mask, either incoming or outgoing, is unfiltered.

Virus particles don't just exist by themselves.
When they are expelled from the body by coughing or sneezing they are riding on mucus.
Even a handkerchief covering will catch and greatly reduce the viral load you breathe in. The same would be true if you are asymptomatic and coughed or sneezed.

Just have to laugh at some of the people on the local online paper. One person gave their statement of Christian religious belief and that they believed God wants us to have liberty and the Bill Of Rights. The responses were basically "What a whackjob!" and "I guess one person's theology is another person's idiocy" signed by "Darwin'sDamsel". I guess nobody told "Damsel" that you can believe in some sort of evolution and still believe in God as creator. Ahhh yes-social media can be a dumpster fire. Why don't they just ignore the credo of the poster if they don't like it? And the biggest laugh:. One of the guidelines is that the respondents are supposed to be "friendly".

212 As for celebrities, in a strange, roundabout way, Pewdiepie has been somewhat inspiring.
This may seem counter-intuitive at this point, but his content has been extraordinarily boring during this whole thing. He plays stupid games, or he's doing reactions to insipid content from here or there.
Not a single word about the world falling apart outside.
And that, I think, is his genius. He knows if he says one damn thing about it, they'll attack him for being a privileged celeb, or they'll go after him for misinformation or they'll say he doesn't care about the little guy or whatever.
So he plays Mindcraft and sits on his floor, letting his hair grow back.
I'm not gonna watch, but there's a subversive message here, which is only revealed by what he is NOT saying.

Nope.
If the medical person is concerned about what's coming at them, the put on the full PPE. Not just a mask.
If they're only wearing a mask, it's for your protection. If they're trying to protect themselves, then yes, mask and goggles and gloves and shields and rip resistant suits and footwear and the whole nine yards.
It's like having a screen over your window. Will it prevent a bird from flying in? Sure. And bigger bugs too, but if you want to keep all the bugs out, you're going to need more.
A mask is for, if anything the big goo coming out of someone. Viruses are the little things that masks won't keep out.

Yes. I think it's the viral load. People, like NYC, keep getting exposed over and over and no sun or heat to kill it.
Whereas a reduced exposure will cause a lower probability of disease and higher probability of minor symptoms and also the production of antibodies.

Viruses aren't floating around 0or flying on wings in and of themselves.
They're being carried in micro droplets of aerosol.
If you want to make the argument that the mask doesn't stop the virus but the droplets carrying the virus, then fine. We agree.
As for the full PPE, there's a cost benefit ratio to everything.
Unless you're okay with the idea of $2000.00 cleanings at the dental office.

God as Creator and some sort of evolution...
Micro-evolution within a species, yes.
Macro-evolution? Life on this planet evolving from "pond scum" over billions of years.
A lie from the pit of hell. And maybe the best one that satan came up with. Gets turned into the Bible is wrong in Genesis one and neither God nor satan exist.
Besides, an overwhelming number of scientific discoveries going back to at least the electron microscope (the "simple cell" aimt so simple) support Creation as told in Genesis.

. I guess nobody told "Damsel" that you can believe in some sort of evolution and still believe in God as creator.

What worked with my kidlets many years ago (and I can't even imagine that 'damsel' is any smarter than my 5th graders) is that what definition of 'day' is operating? Ten million years?

I've done renovation/mold remediation work (voluntary), so I've tried working with a mask on.
Until I noticed my mouth got cold when I inhaled and my glasses fogged up when I exhaled. And I was short of breath anyway.

Fog on your glasses means all the metachlorians are going in your eyes, instead of your mouth and nose.
And everyone knows eyelids kill metachlorians, so you're fine. Just blink a lot.

"The mask" isn't the problem.
The whole stay at home/destroy our economy is.
If wearing masks is part of getting us as a nation back to work, I'm all for it.

It's hard to keep up. One day they don't work, the next they are a lifesaver, the fay after that only healthcare professionals should be allowed to have them.
I use these cheap familiar (blue on the outside) ones you see all over the place as required by work.
It's hard to breath, it's annoying smelling your own breath and I notice that as you breath, air is shooting into your eye because it's not totally sealed.
I can't wait for them to tell us these not only won't protect you, but they cause more harm than good.
You know it's coming.

So what are the side effects of wearing the mask? I mean if someone told us now that in five years we'll be seeing class action ads for "Covid Dry Eye" we'd think it's silly today, but...

Bailout of what? Bankruptcy means their pension promises and actual debt get reduced to what they can currently pay. It doesn't mean anyone gets *more* money.

I went to Catholic school and my teachers had no trouble teaching and we had no trouble believing that God said it all in motion either way. He "created" EVERYTHING.
I know that gets us in hot water with those who believe the literal interpretation of the Bible, and that's fine.
We all believe that God was the Creator.
Posted by: JoeF. at April 25, 2020 02:59 PM (CqE5x)
And then you got a few that are another notch or two further past literal interpretation- the ones that KNOW God fact checked everything written in their personal bible.

What definition of day?
Um, it's right there. A number of times.
"And the evening and the morning were the first day."
The Bible tells us who and how.
So many resourses out there.
Dawkins backed out of a debate with Dr Walter Brown at creationscience unless Dr Brown agreed to only use religion, no science, to argue the young earth/universe side.
Also, Jason Lisle, PhD in astrophysics, has some great vids on utube.
There are many other resources.
Theh won't talk about this stuff at Havaad. Gee, no surprise there.

After the presser, my friend enthused: "Sustainable Illumination."
But how about:
The Ever-Lit
The Lighter
The Ever Lighter
Journo Scourge
The Drudge Sun
Flare of Truth
Constant Blaze
The Gleam, The Glow
All hail His Incandescence!
His Illustrious Luminescence
His radiance and shine
His Glimmering Flash,
That Glittering Glint of Gold
A Sparkle of words was emitted
A shimmering presence presented,
He stood in the pressroom, as the Moon at night, as the sun at apogee
When he indeed left, the afterglow still would sizzle
His beams silenced them, his aurora awed, and streams and rays emanated from his forehead as he offered: "Bleached bones and UV light"
Sunbeams radiated the stunned fakirs into a silence of sorts
As he left the light, his reflection was still glistening on the ever-present Monitors of Now
All were smitten, cleaved and in pieces
But we...
We were Wowed.
