My jawline hasn't looked this trim and taut since I was in my 20s. <br />Plus, adding a pair of dark glasses and a head covering makes getting ready to go out a breeze because I can skip makeup and hair styling. Honestly, if it wasn't so damn hot in the South, I would've already purchased a burka or two, with the added bonus of everyone getting out of my way AND being given special unearned rights due to the fear of offending my (faux) religious minority rights. :D<br /><br /><br /> Zeroh Tollrantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01520605390881142237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-33161360161046956762020-04-26T04:47:19.919-07:002020-04-26T04:47:19.919-07:00It's amazing how resolutely ignorant the flu-b...It's amazing how resolutely ignorant the flu-bros are. First, they caused Trump to lose at least one precious month of getting ready, which lost us the chance to follow the track of Taiwan or Australia. Now, they shrug off 50,000 Covid deaths in 5 weeks, which is a year's worth of flu. <br /><br />And it appears the RO, lockdown and all, has only been beat down to about RO 1, so our 2,000 deaths a day are going to continue for quite some time. 2,000 X 365 = 730,000 at the present pace.<br /><br />"Just the flu, bro!" And many of them absolutely and resolutey refuse to wear any kind of masks in closed public places like the grocery store or post office, spewing out their virus boogers if they are asymptomatic carriers.<br /><br />And as Nassim "Black Swan" Taleb and others have pointed out, if everybody wears even 50% effective cotton masks (when around other people in public, especially indoors) the combined reduction in the chance of transmission between two persons is 75%. And the benefits increase from there, because there are less viral boogers floating around to infect 3rd and 4th parties, or to land on surfaces to be picked up by others.<br /><br />They figured this out in 1918, and it took us a century to un-learn it.<br /><br />I made a couple mask memes for the cause.<br /><br />Masks were a big part of how our forebears defeated Spanish Flu without a vaccine. They beat the RO down under 1 until it disappeared.<br />https://i.imgur.com/s6JITbM.jpg<br /><br />"Don't infect me, bro!"

They were fine in spite of the additional problem until they got Kung Flu.<br /><br />~RheaRheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556747950740643324noreply@blogger.com
