I wonder if she's eligible for a Herman Cain award.

people are still dying from COVID & people think it's "old news" lol

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago (4 children)

In the "quiet" COVID month of July 1990 people died of COVID, compared to 86 people with influenza.

And that's a quiet month.

[–] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 133 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Read July 1990 as a date not: in July, 1990 people

[–] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 45 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God thank you for the clarification. For a quick second I thought I had jumped the timeline to one where Clinton handled COVID.

Read "read" as imperative rather than past tense

[–] triclops6@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Read "Read" as a command instead of a past tense :)

Tough day for keyboards today

[–] June@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao so did I. I was so confused.

[–] MartinXYZ@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it took me way too long.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I will send back this PR as an incorrect date format, I already am triggered by this lack of a comma

My workplace just went back to masking because it's already kicking off to be a banger of a respiratory illness season. I'll use whatever I can to remind people it's not just about your comfort.

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Be sure to get the new booster. I delayed getting it by a week and tested positive Saturday morning. Sinus + Upper Respiratory infection has been a fun thing to experience lmao.

Worst part so far was last night when I couldn't tell I was eating expired kimchi until I took a closer look. Lack of smell or taste can be tricky lol.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh wow that would have sucked!

I can't get another booster until November because of the timing of my last shot but definitely will. Getting my flu shot tomorrow though. The amount of plain old non-COVID respiratory illness in the hospitals around here is absolutely wild, like just plain old pneumonia.

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely need to get my flu shot too so thanks for that reminder. When I test negative again I will try and get both.

Also just learned if I try blowing through my right nostril hard enough, I can blow air out of my left eye sinus passage. Covid has been a gift that keeps on giving.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hope you feel better soon! I had the mildest possible case of COVID thankfully thanks to five vaccines. It's worth all the sore arms, because even boosted people are getting bad cases of it!

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! I'm doing better since Saturday for sure. Only really have a sinus infection still but two more days of antibiotics will clear everything up for sure.

Definitely would take another sore arm over a week of this.

[–] Cypher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago

I did the same thing when I last had covid, ate a salad which was expired by 10 days…

[–] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am fully vaxed (booster not available here yet) and had COVID before. Just got it again recently and it really got me good. Still dealing with respiratory problems two weeks later.

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Aw man I hope the respiratory issues improve for you. This new strain really has been hard for people.

[–] Dumeinst@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean I couldn't really tell you whether kimchi is expired, covid or no.

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

You can tell when there are black marks across all the kimchi that weren't there a week ago.

Still going to go buy a new jar whenever I test negative. I've been craving it badly.

[–] Spellinbee@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yep. My work just went work from home for all non essential personnel for the foreseeable future because a few covid cases in my office.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm so glad my last two jobs have been fully remote. I can't imagine working in an office again and I'm grateful I don't have to. Most of my friends are still working remotely too which is kinda cool.

[–] mino@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I too would wear a mask, headphones and probably a sleepmask if I were forced to sit next to someone who enjoys Ayn Rand.

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's not very safe though, you never know when such person would have idea to excercise their freedom and virtues on your belongings and/or body.

[–] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah you're definitely getting pickpocketed.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"how to look punchable with this one simple trick!"

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Daddy Peterson books work just as well btw

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Selfishness as a virtue?

Christ, how can anyone listen to Ayn Rand after becoming an objectivist and not getting serious are we the baddies energy
