All jokes aside Eric Garner was killed only 5 blocks from my high school. That hashtag never really went away. I'm not out there because COVID, and bless those that are. And fuck those apolitical and anti-government assholes that are out there antagonizing the cops to take shit out on peaceful protesters. More people now than ever are speaking up, and being out there right now is risking your life in multiple ways. I don't think business should be burnt up, but as much as that sucks its stuff at the end of the day. And I want to get this out there before people are like BuT tHe ProTesTorS R rIotinG! https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/clarissajanlim/protesters-violence-george-floyd https://www.insider.com/george-floyd-protesters-in-brooklyn-guard-target-store-against-looters-2020-5 These people are sticking themselves out there to protect stuff as well as their lives.

GradedOnACurve Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Now that COVID is making a re-emergence, how are people doing in states with large spikes? TX, FL, AZ, CA etc? We've entered Phase 2 of 4 here in NYC and the surrounding suburbs are in Phase 3 of 4. I expect a spike but not nearly as bad as the states I mentioned before...

cesar11 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Los Angeles here. Even with the increase in cases, still seeing LOTS of folks with either no masks on OR with masks on BUT covering their chins rather than their mouths and noses. Lots of folks still out and about as if COVID isn't a thing as well. It's maddening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Black Lives Matter protests have not led to a spike in coronavirus cases, research says By Leah Asmelash, CNN Updated 4:10 AM ET, Wed June 24, 2020 https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/24/us/coronavirus-cases-protests-black-lives-matter-trnd/index.html Well that's good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradedOnACurve Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I went to my neighborhood protest, and me and my wife are fine. The meeting spot was socially distanced, and everyone wore masks. All my friends who went to protests wore masks as well. No one has I know tested positive who attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avery Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 this counter protestor / doofus who didn’t believe in wearing masks that showed up at my local BLM protests came down with COVID. https://www.facebook.com/1107858627/posts/10216492643644438/?d=n there’s pics of him all over the local pages screaming into BLM protestors’ faces. anyway, the situation sucks here in huntington beach. cases keep going up, people are getting nasty and confrontational when asked to wear a mask or keep a distance. there’s a bunch of businesses that don’t comply and now have employees testing positive. yet, since OC beaches and bars are still open, i think people from neighboring counties will be crowding our beach and downtown district. i don’t have a problem staying home and my husband can work from home most of the time but i’m stressed about what my kid’s fall is going to look like. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TRU Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Another beach dude checking in. I'm close to Rehoboth and Dewey Beach DE and Ocean City MD. A ton of bars and restaurants are either closing or stopping dine in and there's a bunch of testing sites opening. I'm blaming it on tourons because traffic is like the 4th of July every day and tbh there's nowhere else to vacation right now other than camping. We just had our biggest spike of confirmed cases in quite some time and things are only getting worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the COVID stats from Florida, you're better off inside or on some crabgrass far away from people. It's been much better in NYC. Infection rates are still low, but as things slowly open back up, they'll definitely spike. My neighborhood still only wears masks for half of the time, so its meh. I'm working summer school from home. Working summer school has always been fun, but its weird doing live Zoom meetings everyday. Not looking forward to being sent back in the fall, as rates will definitely spike and people will for sure get sick. Gotta get my hazmat suit ready. At least give me hazard pay. And also it'd be nice if Washington would step up more and fund small businesses and people out of work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets fucking get it over with My parents are all about this approach. Herd immunity is their favorite phrase when discussing anything Covid related. By this point I think most of us have accepted that Covid will never truly be eliminated and scrubbed off the planet. It's way too widespread and contagious. An eventual vaccine may snuff it out over the years but traces of it, at minimum, are here to stay way longer than any of us will be around.

Derek™ Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Visited the family this weekend which naturally meant shooting the shit around the grill with my old man. He’s chatting about the idea of a Jubilee – essentially a national debt reset, to wipe the slate clean. Of course, at the cost of resetting everyone’s savings accounts, credit, checking accounts, 401ks, etc. Some folks are claiming it’s the only way our nation could feasibly get out of debt since it’s mathematically impossible after covid and stimulus checks. How likely it may be or not, I think it’s a pretty interesting concept to consider all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Geez. More than a month since the last post. So let's check-in. How's everyone doing so far? I'm still working from home and honestly I've had it. Mainly the anxiety and uncertainty of my position being that I was reallocated to my old previous role...which I was happy to do it...but worried about when the rug will be pulled from under and get sent back to my other role, which I despise. My mental health and well-being have been greatly affected as the days go on. Mainly due to the cabin fever and being around my parents and brother 24/7. Everyone is always in a bad mood and spitting venom at each other. And it all of course gets compounded even more from the outside sources of the political and societal clime as of late.
