CORONAVIRUS Death Thread

[Gwaihir]

As we were digging through pallets full of junk safely nestled in the top row of the pallet racks in the warehouse today, I came upon a brilliant discovery.

In what appeared, at first glance, to my subordinates, to just be an entire pallet of some 24ct of rusty old 3-gallon gravity pot brewing receptacles in need of a toss out, the query was proposed as to what to do with them. I inconspicuously told them to go ahead and haul the entire pallet over to the front corner of the warehouse, and advised them that we would give them to the metal recycler upon his next, what has now become, weekly visit to our campus for scrap metal borne of old repossessed espresso machines and what not.

As the crew departed for their scheduled lunch hour, a detrimental-oppression levied only upon those remedial "hourlies", whilst reserving the flexibility of a self-selected lunch break which typically ranges upward of 90 minutes to 2 hours on any given day for "essentials" such as myself, I quickly and quietly slinked over to the dark recess of the corner in which the gravity-pot receptacles were placed.

Unsealing each receptacle, one by one, and lavishing the sweet sweet covid-free air fortuitously hidden safely within, I spent the better part of an hour breathing deeply, reminiscing fondly, of a world before the advent of utter maskie retardation.

When they returned from their lunch break, I told them I changed my mind about the gravity pots, and that I'm gonna need them to go ahead and post them up on craigslist, for 10 bucks each, just to squeeze a little more blood out of the turnip, and followed up with them twice so far today, to ensure the task is seen through to fruition.

Nice move.

I used to work with the guys from https://sealedair.com/ and believe me the last thing you want to be doing is inhaling that stuff. I'm not saying it's better or worse than the air you find inside a sealed box with a gravity b̶o̶n̶g̶ pot in it, but I am saying if you see one of those packing sealed plastic air bubbles, don't pop them and inhale that.

Sweden's state virologist said yesterday that herd immunity in the country has been surprisingly slow to develop.

Their conclusion was based on a study looking at whether hospital workers in Wuhan who were directly exposed to infected patients at the early stage of the outbreak had developed antibodies. The deadly new disease was first detected in the Chinese city late last year.

At least a quarter of the more than 23,000 samples tested could have been infected with the virus at some stage, according to the scientists. But only 4 per cent had developed antibodies as of April.

"People are unlikely to produce long-lasting protective antibodies against this virus," the researchers concluded.

I wonder if this lack of antibody production is another feature of this weaponized virus. Those crazy Chinese sure think of everything!

That study is in line with this graph. I mean for the amount of people infected there should be some herd immunity going on. But no. Cases continue to rise.

Meteoroids, climate change, and disease wiped out the dinotopia and they were wayyy cooler than any of us.

We are closer to the T-Rex in our timeline than it was to the Stegadon. Dinosaurs only recently extinct*.

*of course, we still got the generally smaller, more feathery dinosaurs knocking around. Some of the giant terrestrial birds are freaking terrifying and you can see for sure they are modern dinosaur descendants. Tasty though.
