I walked into a residents room and saw some talking head on Fox news explaining how we should reopen all businesses because "99% of the deaths are people under the age of 25." Totally ignoring the fact that 99% of the people stuck in "essential" jobs that are also high risk are kids working cash registers/customer service. And also suggesting they're expendable and economically and socially unimportant. I don't even know this fucks name and I want to send him and his employer a big bubble full of virus in the mail.

Deaths or cases? People under 25 are the least vulnerable, so that doesn't really make sense.

I thought i heard deaths, but i could be wrong. No, it doesn't make much sense in context of what we actually know about the disease.

My workplace has had no cases thus far which I am so grateful for because the residents aren't wearing masks, staying six feet apart etc even though we ask them to. Nobody is, anywhere. Quarantine and "social distancing" was never being enforced as far as I saw in any of the surrounding towns I frequent, nobody seems to be taking this disease seriously.

Inside a closed system there's not much point in social distancing, unless you have known cases. My wife is a nurse in an assisted living complex and their measures focus on people who come in and out (employees).

They haven't had a new case in 3 weeks.

When I went to the dorms to officialy check out, the security measures were:

Only 2 (non-joined, that is, you could not get from one to the other on the inside) of 4 entrances were open.
Masks were compulsory in public areas.
On entering through one of the entrances (the one with acces to 4/5 of the rooms), your temperature was checked with an optical thermometer.

People were encouraged to not be present in the dorms since personal attendance in school was forbidden. So I do not think the receptionists had to check too many people with that thing.

I swear every time I stay over at my parents place the cats catch another mouse at 2 am. I didn't ask to hear the screams of the dying while trying to sleep. I did ask to make sure the gaps between the corrugated siding and concrete foundation be plugged with something the wildlife couldnt chew through and get into the house. And they wonder why i never liked it here.

I'm watching a long Youtube video without adblock (I know, I know, I should really do something about that) - something I normally wouldn't do, but this is interesting enough that I'm willing to put up with the ads, for now - and this time around, none other than the friggin' Shamwow guy himself has popped up to try and sell me some entirely superfluous kitchen gadget I never knew I wanted: the Slap Chop. It's actually a little bit cool in its own stupid way, mainly/entirely because it sort of reminds me of those nifty pop-up dice-rolling things (dice poppers?) that used to come with board games. Those were fun.    

I had no idea the guy was still around and still doing weird commercials, or that such semi-infomercial kinda stuff has infiltrated Youtube ads. Don't get me wrong, this is very much a refreshing change from godawful, stupid shit like Grammarly or KFC, but it's still rather surreal and unexpected to see a human meme out in the wild like this.   
Guess he's managed to improvise, adapt and overcome. Good for him.   


Edit: I just willingly watched an entire, three-minute Youtube ad, bout some gimmicky kitchen utensil I have no use for, purely for the entertainment value.
If that ain't a WTF right there I don't know what is.

I don't know man, but kitchen gadget infomercials are possibly the only infomercials to ever hold my interest past a few minutes. Probably because its a quasi-cooking show too

Slap Chop and Slap Chop memes are soooo 2010

Im sorry it cant be flex tape all the way down.

Slap Chop is okay if you dont mind cleaning the tight blades and only use it for household use.  it breaks down under heavier uses . . .

The ron popiel solid flavor injector is the king.

Able to inject WHOLE pine nuts into a raw hamhock.

(It spawned an in-joke between my sister and I, about a guy who "has seen the infomercial hellscape one too many times, and turns into a serial killer that kills advertising executives, using infomercial products.  The murder using the flavor injector was particularly gruesome, as 3 whole ounces of pine nuts were found lodged in the victim's left ventricle."  Congratulations on making me remember this bit of sleep deprivation induced insanity.)

Maybe you should write a novel about that, sounds like an interesting story.
