My friend who lives in Columbia, SC texted me today that he was eating at Golden Corral. Wow. Something like that is unimaginable here in Southern California. Even if it was open for dine-in, I would be too chicken to risk it.

I recall Soah is correct. The gate, boarding and baggage areas have to be way way riskier.

Soah's story checks out to me, based on a couple articles from a google search:

I actually can't remember the last time I caught a fart on a plane and I was flying ~50k miles/year pre-pandemic. Sounds like I've been absolute sunrunning.

I wouldn't know, but my guess is suzzer has a prop bet going on how many posts he can legit say fart or he has a legit obsession with them.

Howard, do you take high blood pressure meds? ACE inhibitors increase your resistance to the cv. ACE enzymes are also low in kids, and is a suspected vehicle the virus uses to attach to cells.

That was me. Didn't you hear me giggling a little bit?

The Malaysian Ministry of Defence will institute a mandatory mask requirement effective August 1, 2020 in crowded areas and on public transportation. Failure to comply may result in a RM 1,000 (USD $235) fine or jail time. Median income here is about $1300/month, so that's like a relative fine of $900USD for USA#1ers.

They made this decision after the new daily case rate, which had been averaging in the single digits for a month or so (including 3 weeks without a single death), rose to double digits (currently around 14-18 new daily cases on average) about two weeks ago. Malaysia has about 10% the population of USA#1, so it would be as if USA#1 went from say 50-70 new cases per day to 140-180 new cases per day. ofc lolUSA#1 is at like 70,000 new cases per day while Malaysia hasn't even hit 10k cases in total so loooooool

They've been steadily relaxing the lockdown here over the last few months but have now said that if daily new cases start averaging >100, we'll be back to full lockdown immediately. Masks are already required to enter businesses & QR-code scanned contact tracing required in anything other than the smallest of businesses.

When I describe the USA#1 #s to Malaysians, they generally don't believe me and/or think I'm clearly mistaken. The idea that people would refuse to wear masks, or that 1000 deaths/day (Malaysia has had 124 deaths in total during the entire pandemic, with 10% the population of USA#1) is even possible doesn't really seem real to them.

R.I.P.P.E.R.I.N.O

Cain was among the highest-profile public figures in the United States to have died from Covid-19. Less than two weeks before receiving his diagnosis, Cain attended Trump's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which had been staged despite concerns about mass gatherings during the pandemic.

Darwin approves, except for the whole 74 yo thing.

Air filtration and recirculation on airplanes is very good, people are all wearing masks and nobody is talking, for the most part.

If there was an airline called Karaoke Air, I would stay away, however.

I will absolutely cut suzzer some slack here because I know that if anyone ever forced me to smell a 10 minute fart on a plane it would leave deep emotional scars.

Me or Beale? I do not.

im never flying swingers airlines again

Cain story is pretty remarkable. High risk group, won't take the simplest of preventive measures just to toe the party line and pays the ultimate price. I wonder if, at the end, he even felt like it was a mistake.

I wonder how much longer before the whole "Kumbaya, we just need to get through this together and stop playing politics and blaming each other!" talk starts up again (from the folks who've been blowing this off).

With daily U.S. death counts now getting back to around 1,500, I'm guessing it's coming real soon.

No way. My money is solidly on self-righteousness. He and his supporters definitely doubling down on the "I'd rather die living free" line here.

His supporters probably but poor Cain when he was strapped to they ventilator dying wished he never went to the rally and at least wished he wore a mask and took precautions. Sad, they only had less than 10 black supporters at that rally, wonder how many got sick.

Yes I am very worried about national treasures Diamond and Silk.

im sure cain regretted it at the first signs of symptoms, let alone on his death bed

deaths per day will rise for another month or so. but cases per day are starting to go down(assuming numbers are legit), so in about a month hopefully deaths per day will go down too.

RIP Mr 999. Blazed the trail Trump would follow in many ways. Ironic in many ways if he caught it at the coronas over celebratory Trump rally.

Anyone volunteer for one of the vaccine trials yet?

Get the vaccine, help the community and get $$$. Do it Filthy!

Has a trial vaccine ever caused someone's penis to fall off? Asking for a friend.

I heard that the vaccine may make it turn orange.
