I'm saying if you go to a party in the middle of a pandemic then it's the same as going to a party in order to become contagious; intent doesn't really matter in these cases, its all just reckless behavior. 

[G The Resurrected]

Is it bad I don't feel anything towards the people dying from Covid after going to Covid Parties?

Nope! But I feel for those that are forced to work and live around these kinds of idiots whom go out willingly without a care. Any social gathering is a potential Covid party. Bars, nightclubs, etc... those people willingly are endangering others without any regard for those people’s lives. They are selfish and don’t care, so why should I when they die alone in the hospital?

I thought this was fake, what's wrong with Americans

I mean, it does say at the bottom...

But some experts have warned to digest such instances with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Urban folklorist Benjamin Radford recently told Rolling Stone stories of coronavirus parties are likely untrue.

"They're a variation of older disease urban legends such as the 'bug chaser' stories about people trying to get AIDS," Radford told Rolling Stone referring to media stories that began circulating early on during the AIDS epidemic.

Some of these stories about "COVID Parties" just seem like parties were no one cared about Covid.

My wife got a long text message from her boss asking her to come into the office and work because "some people think it's unfair that she is the only one who gets to work at home."  So he's getting shit from a couple of people who are jealous that a pregnant woman, in her third trimester, is working from home.  The CDC has put pregnant women on the high-risk list, so my response when this was brought up was, as it has been for months now, "FUCK 'EM."  If they won't let her work from home any longer, they can fire her.  She's not going in, period.  I don't see her returning back to work in general after we have this kid anyway, because fuck day care during this crisis.

Wired had an article about that too and it's probably overstated by the media because, sure, there's a good chance some drunk dumbass said something about "If I get Corona, I get Corona".

Will Newsom make a nice poster like Cuomo?

[Tripon]

The reason why Cuomo is acting insane because he's a media addict that needs cameras on him.

The opposite is actually true for Newsom. While he loves his time in front of the cameras, what he really wants to do is take a short break, but he's unable to do that because the state reopening efforts means the state is now on fire.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered all dine-in restaurants, bars, movie theaters, museums and other indoor businesses across the state to close Monday as Covid-19 cases continue to climb.

Cali just ahead of the curve. Every state will eventually have to come back around.

My state is starting to lockdown again. The governor can't even come out and admit to us that the lack of Federal response is failing us and forced us to reopen too soon. I wasn't joking when I said I'm thinking of asylum from the US.

Imagine quoting Camus in English

 

[Oblivion]

Can you expand on this?

These vague notions that we're losing our humanity is getting boring.

Not trying to resurrect this fight again but I finally have a good answer for you. From Camus' The Plague:


Did our fellow-citizens, at least those who suffered the most from this separation, ever get used to the situation? It would not be quite correct to say that they did. Rather, they suffered a kind of spiritual and physical emaciation. At the start of the plague they remembered the person whom they had lost very well and they were sorry to be without them. But though they could clearly recall the face and the laugh of the loved one, and this or that day when, after the event, they realized they had been happy, they found it very hard to imagine what the other person might be doing at the moment when they recalled her or him, in places which were now so far away. In short, at that time they had memory but not enough imagination. At the second stage of the plague the memory also went. Not that they had forgotten the face, but (which comes to the same thing) it had lost its flesh and they could only see it inside themselves. And while in the early weeks they tended to complain at only having shadows to deal with where their loves were concerned, they realized later that these shadows could become still more fleshless, losing even the details of colour that memory kept of them. After this long period of separation, they could no longer imagine the intimacy that they had shared nor how a being had lived beside them, on whom at any moment they could place their hands.

From this point of view, they had entered into the very system of the plague which was all the more efficient for being mediocre. No one among us experienced any great feelings any more, but everyone had banal feelings. 'It's time it ended,' they said, because, in a period of pestilence, it is normal to wish for the end of collective suffering and because they really did want it to end. But the words were spoken without the anger or bitterness of the early days, and only with the few arguments that still remained clear to us, which were feeble ones. The great, fierce surge of feeling of the first weeks had given way to a dejection that it would be wrong to confuse with resignation, but which was despite that a kind of provisional assent.

The townspeople had adapted, they had come to heel, as people say, because that was all they could do. Naturally, they still had an attitude of misfortune and suffering, but they did not feel its sting. Dr Rieux, for one, considered that the misfortune lay precisely in this, and that the habit of despair was worse than despair itself. Previously, those separated had not really been unhappy, their suffering had a brightness that had just gone out. Now one could see them on the corner of the street, in cafes or with their friends, placid, their minds wandering and their eyes so bored that, thanks to them, the whole town seemed like a waiting-room. Those who had jobs did them at the pace of the plague, meticulously and prosaically. Everyone was simple and unpretentious. For the first time, those separated did not mind speaking about their absent ones, adopting the language of all and studying their separation just as they would study the statistics of the epidemic. While up to this point they had fiercely subtracted their suffering from the sum of collective misfortune, now they accepted it as part of the whole. Without memory and without hope, they settled into the present. In truth, everything became present for them. The truth must be told: the plague had taken away from all of them the power of love or even of friendship, for love demands some future, and for us there was only the here and now.

bish, did you seriously just outsource your defense of personal ethics to a mid 20th century french existentialist?

I'm not going to give him any shit-  he has been letting her work at home despite his bosses saying nobody is allowed to do this.  It's an open secret of sorts there that this is going on.  Others were also working remotely before, but now it's just my wife.  So the guy actually could get into trouble if someone were to report him.

Have to wonder how strict these people actually were.  No offense to them, but claiming they followed protocols is not something I just believe outright.   And I don't mean like, purposefully ignored them, but part of the problem with returning to work is for ~8 hours in a day it's really incredibly easy to slip up.

They were probably banging.
