outbreak! (ebola, sars, coronavirus, etc)

gotta get me one of these Cinco Food Tubes so I can enjoy a nice dinner out with friends while keeping my mouth hole and nostril holes covered with protective cloth the entire time

you are a troll

you are a guy named Dan S

more likely burrito is just someone with very poor judgment regarding where he inserts things

Excuse me, sirs, but my post was quite relevant to this discussion regarding the wearing of face masks at food restaurants and/or beverage bars. If you would have watched the video that I generously shared with this group (perhaps regrettably, as you all are obviously ungrateful and frankly rude people) you would have seen that it portrays a humorous scenario in which a member of a dining party utilizes the Cinco Food Tube system to consume his meal at the table without directly inserting the food into his mouth using a fork. The system would enable a person to fulfill the primary objective of a restaurant visit (consuming foods and socializing with friends and/or family) while adhering to the current face-covering guidelines designed to protect public health during this Corona Virus (COVID-19) crisis.

Please be more considerate of your fellow posters, and please read your fellow posters' posts more thoroughly. Thank you.

when you're sliding into first, and you feel something burst
God is dead

well actually, for that you're gonna want the D-Pants

burrito, please stop and consider that there are many people on this board who have directly and personally suffered pain, fear, job loss, deep anxiety, and many other highly unpleasant consequences from the ongoing pandemic, which continues to deliver these consequences at an accelerating rate with no end in sight, and many of these people do not consider this the appropriate thread for such light heartedly frivolous hijinks as you chose to inject into this discussion. There are entire ilx boards devoted to such levity. Please employ them.

then gtfo with that crap

(x-post) Specifically, COVID-77

Florida is one of my many regular webcams that I keep an eye on, and I've been astounded at the lack of respect for social distancing in the past couple of months that I've seen, and even still doing it - do they not know what's happening?

We know, we're just filled with me-first assholes.

I’m worried that the Australian equivalent of refusing to wear a mask is refusing to get tested when asked.

Aw yeah.

yeah without question an airport would be safer (maybe that’s what alfred meant?). an airplane maybe too, with masks

Yeah, sorry this is what I meant. A large interior space where people wear masks >>>>>>> smaller space where few do.

From ShariVari's link:

Lab tests confirmed that two unidentified individuals had contracted the “marmot plague” in the region of Khovd, Mongolia’s National Center for Zoonotic Disease (NCZD) said in a statement.

Simulation going to simulate.

Khovefe would have been funnier but I guess The Programmer knows when to dial it down

Oh, this is gonna be fun

A surprising new study found that the controversial antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine helped Covid-19 patients better survive in the hospital.https://t.co/j6zs4SI2Su

— CNN (@CNN) July 3, 2020

(The study is very much not a random test and those on the meds got double the dose of steroids, but don’t expect the idiots at CNN to make that clear)

tbf the title of the article is "Study finds hydroxychloroquine may have boosted survival, but other researchers have doubts"

got in an argument with a COVID truther today who claims her cousin was deemed to have died of COVID in May and that it was really "something else" (uhh, co-morbidity anybody) and that because of the wrong cause of death, they were required to cremate him.

there is no current state or federal guidance in the US requiring COVID victims to be cremated, and even if there was, it wouldn't matter if they died FROM it, rather than WITH it. since it was a cousin, I'm going to go out on a limb and say the immediate family members probably got details and through the game of telephone, that's how the story wound up.

her reaction to the 'co-morbidity' statement was "so if he's shot, stabbed and beaten and dies with COVID, they can mark that he died of COVID?".....god, this is the intellect we're up against.

My brother is a funeral director and he's buried a dozen Covid cases. No cremation required.

Yup.

yeah without question an airport would be safer (maybe that’s what alfred meant?). an airplane maybe too, with masks

Bars and churches are the wrost

yeah, I've read a few articles in early March terrified about COVID spread on planes but it turns out that, since banning smoking on all flights, airplane filtration systems are...better than expected?

Not buying the plane filtration being that good. Just because they can't trace it to a plane didn't mean it didn't happen. There's a reason people get colds a lot after traveling.

In Australia, when a known case has been on a plane they contact everyone within six rows of the case to get tested. They also publish the flight numbers, dates and time.

There has to be a TTI system in place, though. I wouldn’t go near a plane anywhere right now but certainly not one in the US.

probably more likely to catch several other diseases in laguardia

more like lagiardia amirite

i'm sorry but who the hell do you think you are making jokes in this thread? please stop and consider that there are many people on this board who have directly and personally suffered pain, fear, job loss, deep anxiety, and many other highly unpleasant consequences from the ongoing pandemic, which continues to deliver these consequences at an accelerating rate with no end in sight, and many of these people do not consider this the appropriate thread for such light heartedly frivolous hijinks as you chose to inject into this discussion.

you've gotta do that a third time before it's funny

oh believe me I'm waiting for it

the burrito that bored a generation

sometimes i only notice a poster bc every time i see a landfill post that adds zero value to the board i notice the same dn next to it welcome PBKR to the stage

in case it was unclear, that means you're an uninteresting individual who sucks at posting

nb: burrito, you didn't make a joke. you outsourced it.

i don't like esby but I'd proclaim him emperor of ILX over burrito-dude

and thus we get another derail. how does this happen? (<-- rhetorical question alert)

I do like esby and I'd proclaim Heart's eponymous 1985 album Heart to be better than both Kill 'em All and Bonded by Blood, two pathetic albums of garbage by frustrated white men who felt the need to forcefully make their boring opinions known

remind you of anyone?

anyways, NEANDERTHAL, here's some real music for you to think about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE5GGMhmo-M

this was just my way of concurring burrito sucks

now now there’s no need to put heart, metallica, and exodus in competition with each other. they all made great music we can enjoy

could we enjoy them somewhere else, plz

moving on...

https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/02/health/coronavirus-mutation-spread-study/index.html

"We were able to test whether the G form of the virus was more infectious than the D form," Montefiore, director of the Laboratory for AIDS Vaccine Research and Development, told CNN. "All the results agreed that the G form was three to nine times more infectious than the D form"...

don't you want someone to care about you?

Not buying the plane filtration being that good. Just because they can't trace it to a plane didn't mean it didn't happen. There's a reason people get colds a lot after traveling.

I've banned the burrito. I'll unban him in 72 hours, but I don't have high hopes for him after that.

Oh I'm sure he'll be able to gather a little fan club handwringing over nasty intolerant ILXors the way esby has.
