In our little corner of Wisconsin, we’ve had 25 cases in our metro area. Only one new one in the last 4 days. Everything is shut down, lots of social distancing, I see many people using masks at the stores. Looks like we have this handled, right? Then what do I see?....

An Uber driver, driving with no mask, carrying someone with no mask. The mind boggles. How long before he gets infected? How many can he infect before he stops driving?

Uber stupid. Wonderful .

Meanwhile, people in England are burning cell phone towers because they think the towers are spreading the virus. If the virus were sentient, and understood how mind bogglingly stupid humans are, we’d all be dead.

Yesterday I saw a group of Karens set up a net in an empty parking lot and started playing tennis.    Not sure what is wrong with people.

That’ s not stupidity, it’s mental illness.

Now, let’s go burn down the National Institutes of Health so this'll never happen again .

Over 7000 have died in New York yet people still want to go to parks. People don't listen.

It feels like this tracks from a country that (narrowly) voted to leave the EU.

Let’s blow up the CDC like they did in Walking Dead!

That will reduce reported cases by like 80%.

Not a good war in which to be neutral.

I was going to take it a bit harsher and blame generations of social policy for risk taking, but it might be taken seriously (instead of half seriously, as I intended).

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins the movie by telling you how it ends. Well, I say there’s some things we don’t want to know - i mportant things!

Taking things seriously would be good

Wow, I hadn’t seen that yet . Human toll aside, this is going to seriously hurt their credibility in terms of being considered one of the happiest, healthiest, and most educated nations on earth...I don’t wish that on them, but there’s something to be said for common policies with nations/states that share your borders.

I hope the Swedes will be okay, I need them to drive up demand for old Volvos so I can justify throwing money at mine .

Joking aside, I really hope the Swedes emerge out of this COVID-19 crisis with minimal loss of life/permanent disabilities.

I was at the grocery store yesterday and the employees are finally wearing masks at about a 50% rate. Customers about the same. But what shocked me was the Shipt and Instacart people. Almost no masks or gloves.

Just keep that in mind when you order groceries. They might be shopping for 3-5 homes in each run.

Meanwhile I’m staging all my groceries in the garage, wiping down the urgent/perishables, and storing everything else away for 3 days before it enters the house. If that’s our only contact with the outside world, I’m gonna make it count.

Also in Wisconsin...

One of my wife’s crazy right wing aunts invited this piece of shit to my crazy right wing father-in-law’s funeral back in 2014. This was in Burlington, where Vos is from. He came through the receiving line at the wake and shook the various children and their spouses’ hands including me. As soon as he was out of earshot I turned to my wife and said, “that guy is the speaker of the assembly, and a giant piece of shit.”

Is that a total number or a per day admissions rate? Because if it is total it doesn’t really tell you anything. Relying on banks to compile epidemiological information is  an interesting move.
