I would not, but in a take my character out of the game kinda way.

Or more, I’m happy for him to be used by the GMs in whatever way they see fit kinda way.

Yeah, the you in the past doesn’t exist anymore, it was merely a step on the journey to who you are today.

It’s not like past-you will get upset about present-you misgendering yourself.

That was a sensible edit Reelya.

But yeah, dragdeler’s post appeared to be quite the nonsequitur.

The second one is a bit silly. A conservative, libertarian Koch-funded site isn’t going to promote lockdowns.

90% of positive cases were symptomless - which means they’re spreading the disease between the weekly tests - and still only 2% of participants tested positive in what they term an extreme quarantine which really wasn’t that extreme because they essentially just described how a quarantine works, other than maybe the extent of cleaning they did.

Without checking the actual source, what they meant by not having “personal electronics or other items that might contribute to surface transmission” also describes almost literally everything small enough to fit in your hands.

The control group also didn’t seem like much of a control because it doesn’t actually appear they were tested at day 0, so who knows how many of them were positive at the start, and the PCR tests for active infections, not antibodies. It’s also very cheeky they don’t list how many of the control group were symptomatic, because I imagine coughing your lungs up is going to significantly inflate the virus you’re shedding into the environment.

OH THE KICKER! They accuse the media of ignoring the science because one paper supports their position that lockdowns don’t stop the virus. Magic.

I will read the first one now.

Post-read edit: just as silly as the second one.

He even says that surgical masks are better than cloth masks, which is utterly ridiculous.

It’s the same as the second one: an obviously biased person finding one study which supports their position ignoring all the studies suggesting otherwise and shouting “SEE! THEY WON’T LOOK AT THE SCIENCE TELLING THEM THEY’RE WRONG!” without any sense of irony.

Yeah, the local health department here are all about you contacting people you were in contact with over the previous 48 hours before you develop symptoms.

The phone call I got telling me that happened about 9 days after I tested positive, which itself happened 9 days after I developed symptoms, so:.. yeah. I understand why they have to do it, but... alacrity.

Nah it’s cool, I actually wasn’t sure if that was something you did ‘cause it’s been a while since I was in and, to be completely fair, it’s not really a necessity to do it since you list it  here anyway.

((You forgot to PM me my stuff ah well))

get in the car, look for a music bar in a rough part of town near the docks, woo all the baddies inside with my super duper piano skills, hire some of them for my quest to murder everyone, then get to the submarine.
