Nah he speaks the truth. nobody is feeling sorry if she can’t go to Paris or Rome. He’s saying Everyday she gets home from work and doesn’t have to deal with kids is a vacation. There’s 49 other states to drive or fly to starting tonight….but they are probably beneath her because she’s from NYC.

yeah, i'm gonna have to go ahead and tell you to fuck yourself. 

you've spent a large part of the last year trying to minimize the covid 19 pandemic and @PenelopeWitherspoon isn't fucking from new york, she just lives there now. i used to give her shit for other reasons, but realized that it was my problem i was dealing with, and less to do with her. 

i just got my new passport, and i have no fucking idea when i can use it. i love london and paris. i love hong kong and tokyo. i have friends in all these places. 

people like you, minimizing this shit, are the reason we can't fucking go see these people. 

i'm going to say that you are a massive fucking asshole who has no idea how people live. you're stuck in fucking minnesota, thinking that stateside travel is a normal thing, whereas tons of us who travel internationally are sick of bullshit like yours, where you try to minimize the virus's impact on people's way of life.

stateside travel is very normal to us. it's the main way we get our kids out. we've been all over the american west. i wish we could do more of it. but attitudes like yours are reasons why we can't do that. and also reasons why international travel is all fucked up as well.

Paying $50 out of pocket For a negative antibody test back in May is downplaying the pandemic?

And it's not rocket science why they aren't meeting the goal - the other covid deniers won't donate, because that would be admitting that covid is real.

So it's probably random internet strangers who are just good people and have sympathy and empathy.

i don't know if despair is the right word, but it's up there.

Hayden, let's go on a little trip down memory lane, because I have kept this bookmarked and look back at it every now and then, because holy fuck much of last year was a blur.

https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/breaking-news-two-presumptive-positive-cases-of-covid-19-confirmed-in-the-austin-travis-county-area-austin-public-health/

Quote

3 coronavirus cases confirmed in Austin.

Austin confimed another case of the coronavirus disease following its announcement of the first two cases in the county Friday. Austin Public Health said early Friday morning it received two presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 in Travis County. These are the first two confirmed cases in this area.

Quote

“Austin and Travis County has joined a seemingly growing number of cities and counties that have positive cases in their area,” Austin Public Health interim health authority Dr. Mark Escott said at a press conference. 

“Austin Public Health has received two presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 overnight in our jurisdiction. These represent the first two cases in our area,” he said.

Quote

The woman is a Galveston County resident aged between 30 and 35, Galveston County Health District confirmed. She was tested at St. David’s Emergency Center-Bee Cave, and was then sent home for self-quarantine that same day. 

“We understand this presumptive positive case may concern our community, but at this time there is no evidence of community spread,” said Dr. Philip Keiser, Galveston County local health authority

Quote

“Our epidemiologists are working around the clock to track these individuals, their contacts, even before they got sick,” Dr. Escott said. “We’re testing people every day.” Neither case is believed to be community spread, which means the illness did NOT come from an unknown infected person with whom they had come into contact.

“At this stage, these do not represent community spread of the disease which means they are epidemiogicially linked to another case or to another jurisdiction,” Dr. Escott said.

Quote

Escott said the two cases aren’t related. One of the cases is linked to a case in Montgomery County near Houston, and the other case came from the person being transferred to the Austin area from a rural region of Texas.

We have no evidence that the person was ever outside of a hospital in Austin or Travis County,” Escott said. 

He continued to explain that patients are routinely transferred from rural regions to the Austin area because the hospitals are more equipped for advanced-level care.

We need to get covid cases down just to free up hospital beds.

Shit, last night a buddy and I got drunk at his 50th birthday party, rented some of those fucking scooters you see all over the place, and had a wreck and ended up a bit fucked up (doctor said something about his brain is bleeding), with a  nurse screaming at us that we were taking up two beds that could have been used for covid patients.

Rose tinted glasses are a hell of a drug. It bears remembering, prior to the 1940's, a considerable portion of the country was increasingly isolationist and we even had the "America First Comittee" headed up by none other than Charles Lindbergh, that nazi-sympathizing asshat. There was an entire plot by Wall Street to take down the elected American president and replace him with a dictator in 1933.

America has never been bound together in the times between crisis. I have no fucking idea how we got this far.

When death is all around, humans find ways to cope.

In WWII, as many of you likely know, battlefield soldiers wouldn't want to know a replacement's name or befriend him because replacements often didn't last long. Same with fighter plane groups. The pain of losing their original comrades led them to stay remote from new pilots entering the squadron.

.....

Detachment is the only way to emotionally survive. Irony World.

Or hell, like when you have a legally-blind girlfriend, and you're dog-sitting for her, and she wanted you to take her Pomeranian to the dog grooming place for a bath/cleaning. You decide to spend the money on pizza and beer instead, and you take said Pomeranian, put her in one of those laundry mesh bags, run her through the dishwasher, and the fucking thing dies.  Next thing you know instead of getting free pizza and beer, you're hitting up all of the animal shelters and kennels looking for a Pomeranian that is close enough in size and barks about the same so that your girlfriend doesn't find out.  The people selling you the dog are trying to give you her history and tell you about her, and all you give a shit about is whether or not you can train her to respond to "Fluffy" within the next 14.5 hours.

After that, every time your girlfriend calls out "Fluffy" to get her (new) dog to come to her, you tense up just a little bit, and try to harden yourself and not automatically flash back to when you got back to her place after the beer run to the sound of something banging against something in the dishwasher, and opening it up to find something approaching what it would look like if you ran an open bottle of ketchup upside down though the dishwasher.

You just have to detach yourself from the world when you hear her say "Fluffy", because the sex is worth it.

It was extraordinary, and modern America isn't coming close to that level of effort.  My dad finished up his BS in Arch Eng, and rather than move on to grad school (which he eventually did), he joined the Navy ~ 1943.  Got sent to Annapolis for officer training, had a bad asthma attack and was booted out.  He had already dropped out of Olympic training (weightlifting), which ultimately went nowhere, I think they cancelled the games, but rather than go back to school he fucking took a job at Curtis Wright designing fighter wing structures.  Eventually, post-war, he finished his PhD and began a 40 year career as an engineering professor.

He was one of millions up millions of young Americans who made similar sacrifices, not to mention those who GAVE THEIR FUCKING LIVES.  But no, half of America can't wear a mask or get a shot because FREEDUMB.

I'm simultaneously furious, sad, and exhausted, and I haven't done shit.  Well, I got two shots and I wear a mask.  Yay.

No idea why someone wouldn't want to leave Manhattan, which is over 70% vaxxed and just about everyone wears masks indoors, to travel stateside around delta and moronic antivaxxers and antimaskers.  At this point, about half the states are beneath anyone who doesn't want to end their vacation in the ICU.
