please understand that when I post horseshit like this, I am laughing my ass off. Laughing, at my own self. In a way, it's kind of sad (no it's not). I keep track of how many days I've been locked up in my house, without going to check, I think it is up to 201 days now.

Most of my friends are out of town and they are having terrible problems (lockdown, joblessness, etc) so we don't talk like we used to. I've always been a little sideways, but this lockdown is starting to take its toll. So what I do is come in here and post shit and laugh at my own posts. That's how I cope. I also post serious stuff in GD, but I usually post pure crap.

I truly had a good time with this exchange. Made my night better. Hope you are doing good!

And I think we are all just going a little stir crazy. I am a serious (but friendly and somewhat social) introvert, and this is even taking a toll on me. Between this Covid isolation and this fucking Trump mega-fuck-ton disaster, I am about to lose my mind.

Maybe I should start sniffing glue. How economical would that be?

Anyway, I LOVE your posts! Seriously, I live for them. Everytime I see your name I cannot wait to see what you will say next. And I also like your serious replies in GD. You are a good sort, Lucky. I'm glad you are here!

... what is likely and not likely to cause transmission?

Also, I'm lucky enough to have an N95 mask, which I wear if I'm going to be less than 6 feet from people. What are my chances of getting air transmitted covid? How likely are people, really, to get covid from surfaces? How much do you charge?????

was asymptomatic or she wouldn't be traveling. Makes a difference on whether or not a person is symptomatic or not as far as how the trace goes forward and who gets contacted, quarantined, or isolated.

As for your personal situation about the checkout clerk etc. being masked it the biggie. Not much to worry about if you are masked and only in another person's presence for no more than 15 to 20 minutes. Even less concern if the others around you are also masked. Yes, you can pick up the virus from surfaces but it far less likely to do so if you keep your hands away from your face, eyes, nose etc. and wash and sanitize your hands frequently.

No charges from me. Tracers get paid according to state and local policies. Ballpark between $18=$20/hr. Some pay flat rate per day ranging from $75-$100/day.

...and you should know this.

It's about a president and his lackeys, like Hicks, who is actively gaslighting the American people into widespread illness and death. No better example to the American people about the urgency and seriousness of this pandemic than those denying it from the highest office in the land contracting it and, perhaps, suffering for it.

It may well be the ONLY way to bring realism to this crisis for his supporters, saving even more lives.

15 mins later: housekeeping to nurses station C ( the sanitation crew)

Everyone in the clinic draws a breath at this point and waits for the other shoes to drop


About an hour or so later 2 calls: Public health to EMS ( the patient is isolated)
Contact tracing to EMS ( the test was positive)

...you're not alone in understanding the effects of the virus.

I didn't give it to them, I didn't infect any of the people you're trying to shame me with. I have my own ordeals I'm living through and you don't have wit enough to understand that you can't lecture someone you know absolutely nothing about.

Coming on this board and presuming to tell someone how to respond to the madness surrounding us is the height of arrogance. And look Gus Bob, no one is celebrating anything, so enough with the personal insults. We all watched this WH, everyone in it, not only deny this virus, but actively encourage, and in many cases force Americans to congregate together without necessary protections; in schools; in meat plants; in their ignorant rallies.

And now they're finally facing the hurt you want to shame ME with. What a crock. This isn't my wish. It's not my pleasure, and you have no goddamn grounds to claim otherwise, but here you are...

Why don't you give it a rest. I'm perfectly comfortable watching and affirming what we've been screaming at the WH for months, that they are not immune just because they act like jackasses. THAT"S what's going on in this thread. Not a thing I can do but watch, and for goddamn sure I'm going to talk about it. I'm not going to shrivel up in some sympathetic ball of shame at pointing out their hypocrisy which I have absolutely no control over.

After months of gaslighting and criminal negligence from that bunch I'd like to shout this from the high heavens. Everybody should be gawking at this, if they have any goddamn life left in them.

The perfect scenario would be for him to get diagnosed on Nov. 4 and then then deteriorate to hospital and ventilator over a few days.

Then he wouldn't be able to fuck around with the election, and he could die in a state of complete humiliation.
