In America, the government mandated adding toxic chemicals to industrial alcohol in the early 1900’s but it really took off as a result of prohibition in an attempt to curb the supply of moonshine. It did not work. I expect these days it’s still done to protect the profits of big alcohol.

They do it here to ethanol to sell it for cleaning or other non drinking purposes. But AFAIK they only add a bittering agent. Adding toxic chemicals seems cruel and unusual to me.

Cruel and unusual could be the American motto

Just dump your fruit into a bucket of vodka. Let it absorb most of it. Now you have perfectly clean fruit and a good time

If you are feeling adventurous and bold, use isopropyl.

Do not actually do this, isopropyl alcohol specifically contains kerosene to stop people from using it as a beverage.

That's why you gotta take isopropyl shots up the butt.

While probably the safest method of ingesting kerosene you are probably still risking nervous system complications and renal failure

Nine people have become infected with coronavirus at the Georgia school where a teen was suspended for recording footage of a crowded hallway in which many students were seen without masks, according to a report.

North Paulding High School in Dallas, Ga., informed parents in a letter Saturday that six students and three faculty members have tested positive for the virus, ABC News reported.

Yesterday I went to my nephew's baptism in a church on the UWS... my first time in NYC since January. It was eerie how quiet and deserted it was. Very few people walking around, a few people eating on outdoor patios. NYS has been in single digit deaths the last few days, and active cases have gone down from 400,000 to 80,000, with ~800 new cases a day and a 1% positive rate for testing. For what was once ground-zero of the epidemic, NYS as a single entity is more in line with non-dysfunctional countries. Though I worry what will happen when schools start reopening...

One thing about being here in NY is I haven't really witnessed any mask fuckery in person, apart from a handful of people here and there who don't cover their nose up with their masks.

Well, yeah. I mean if people actually social distance, mask and hand-wash that should eliminate the majority of infectious diseases on the planet from spreading. Which is a good thing for sure and maybe says some things about certain precautions people can take in general to reduce the spread of the flu/colds when things are post-covid.

Totally. We should normalize people staying home from work when ill. And probably wear masks indoors during flu season as well.

Japan needs to normalize this even more and then the USA. It is stunning how many times people come to work hacking and coughing and running with snot from behind their paper masks. COVID-19 should absolutely be the cause of some intelligent change.

The reason this is happening because the players has been pushing for much stronger COVID-19 precautions/protections and no liability waivers. Particularly in the Pac-12, players were pushing for union representation/getting paid. It's the conferences (Pac-12/Big-10) trying to staunch paying players and keeping amatuer status as long as possible.

In the week ending Aug. 8, an average 36,255 coronavirus tests were administered in Texas each day — a drop of about 42% from two weeks earlier, when the average number of daily tests was 62,516.

At the same time, the percentage of tests yielding positive results has climbed, up to 20% on average in the week ending Aug. 8. Two weeks earlier, the average positivity rate was around 14%.

There already were some rumors that in rich circles in Russia a vaccine was circulating.

Now the question is, what will the US do. Claim it doesn't work or will Trump ask Putin to sell it to the US so he can cure everyone before the election.

The leading Russian vaccine candidate has so far been tested in small, early clinical trials designed to find the right dose and assess any safety concerns. It was given to scientists who developed it, in self-experimentation that is unusual in modern science, 50 members of the Russian military and a handful of other volunteers.

while likely iffy science and cutting corners, and assuming it doesn't cause a mutation or something to that effect, it's fully possible the russian vaccine could work. people work back from lucky results in life all the time and it can speed up and/or locate successful processes.
