    I think Sweden got it right.
    Voluntary guidelines, but don't destroy the country/economy.

    One way or another, probably going to walk through it now. I dont think people will tolerate any further lockdowns.

    that's where i'm at
    why did the media suddenly forget about their darling socialist/capitalist Sweden?
    where are the reports on Georgia and Florida?
    to say there isn't a political side to this is disingenuous
    why is it that the dissenting view is being deleted from social media?
    we should all be united in a chant of fuck china
    and tell me again why exactly we paid for a lab in a communist country to find out how to infect the masses?

    The first thing a man needs to be truly at peace with himself and those around him-the world in fact- is to lose the need to be "right" and the acknowledgement of it by others.

    But if you give anything enough time, it will eventually become political. From infectious diseases to not wearing a condom ( or whatever) while knocking off a piece. Anything.
    You name it, it will be a political football sooner or later. That's America, and tbh, quite a few other places.
    I agree on wtf is the answer on the funded lab in another country...especially our direct rival.
    It's been denied as unsubstantiated, and no one owns up to it, if true.
    But politicizing even that is perfect way not to answer at all.

    i didn't think there was any doubt as to the veracity of us funding it
    here's an NPR piece on us discontinuing the money flow
    https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsa...ing-a-research-project-on-bats-and-coronaviru
    i am seeing a lot of stuff trying to dismiss that it happened during obamas term but that's not exactly news
    shouldn't be all that hard to follow the timeline and sure it could easily have happened under bush as well
    not thinking it was about one guy but our government in general
    why did anyone need this knowledge?

    To perpetrate a world controlled by two huge East/ West conglomerates and eliminate everyone else in the middle ?
    Or the real answer: to bring homo sapiens to an end as a species.
    Soon, we will all be drinking the iridium cocktail.
    Shaken, but not stirred.
    All that will be left of us is a black layer in the rock strata.

    "The president said he had instructed Tanzanian security forces to check the quality of the kits. They had randomly obtained several non-human samples, including from a pawpaw, a goat and a sheep, but had assigned them human names and ages.

    These samples were then submitted to Tanzania's laboratory to test for the coronavirus, with the lab technicians left deliberately unaware of their origins.

    Samples from the pawpaw and the goat tested positive for COVID-19, the president said, adding this meant it was likely that some people were being tested positive when in fact they were not infected by the coronavirus.

    "There is something happening. I said before we should not accept that every aid is meant to be good for this nation," Magufuli said, adding the kits should be investigated."

    so far we just hit a biker bar in ventura and that was pretty cool
    filipina gf was popular lol
    so weird to be able to actually sit down in a room of people not wearing masks and be served food w a beer
    a lot of places still closed on main street but a ton of people outside walking in the fresh air and smiling
    from what i'm being told santa barbara is wide open and we'll actually be able to sit on the beach up there
    ventura beaches are open but its totally unnatural w police in trucks w their lights on everywhere telling people to stand up when they sit wtf

    santa barbara definitely more laid back w lots of restaurants open for sit down meals and a lot of places still closed
    no salons or haircuts to be had but nbd
    no patrols on the beach hassling people sitting down and relaxing
    got a nice room on state w a jacuzzi for under a hundred
    lots of places under $70 and they're really doing their best to get back to normal
    if you're in need of a place to just chill the fuck out as i was this is a great option atm
    i was really in need of seeing peoples faces as strange as that might sound
    if my choice is death or living like i have the last few months its not even a discussion

    I don't mind it much.
    Once in a while I'll have to leave an establishment that doesn't allow my kind.
    I should have paid attention to the sign.

    hit Joe's cafe on the way out for an open face tri tip and took the ride down the coast back to the heat
    got home to find my mom isn't at home...
    in the hospital and they suspect its the china virus
    any positive thoughts are appreciated
    not something you hope for but it doesn't change one thing about how i feel
    just hoping mom doesn't die alone if this is it
    no way for me to get inside to be with her
    grateful for all 97 years if its over
    my last memory to this point is tuning in mass w her favorite preacher and seeing her extremely happy on sunday before i left

    more than a little overwhelming atm
    not 100% its corona but i'll know within the hour
    my dad passed 27 years ago and she has a plot w him and was to be buried above him
    not thinking they are going to release her body if she succumbs
    pretty sure they are requiring bodies to be incinerated at this point in time does anyone know?
    sure it sounds way dark but i'm the guy that's going to be front and center
    anyone know?
