Good luck with that, Millcreek.  I'd bet money the APS Lab and PPE Manufacturing, Inc. would quickly devolve into APS Distilling, Ammunition and Tobacco, Inc.

So either way we will be ready for the Apocalypse.....

I'm sitting here on the hill waiting for other people to show up. I brought whiskey and cigars.  =D

Conspiracy Bro that I work with gets very cranky at the thought of taking the (hypothetical, hypodermical) COVID vaccine. He was anti-vax before, but now - ugh. Apparently there's a line of "thought" that says Bill Gates is behind all of this, and he just wants to make billions on a vaccine. Conspiracy Bro brings up Gates at every opportunity.

I hear that the vaccine will have nanotrackers allowing us to be tracked at great distances by Fed drones.  Probably with Hellfires on them.

According to the X-Files, (they are as reliable as any other news source) the government took DNA samples and is tracking us via our smallpox vaccinations.  But only boomers and older (and maybe the military; not sure about that) have been vaccinated against smallpox, so the COVID vaccine will be round 2.

So from my frequent interactions with County Health over the years, written agreements regarding self-quarantine or self-reporting are the standard of care, and have been used for decades before COVID.  This is generally done for a couple of reasons:

1. The average person is more likely to follow an agreement that they have signed.
2. If you fail to comply with the requirements, the Courts like to see a written agreement before they impose sanctions.

There was a lot of hullabaloo a few decades back when County Health all over the country was asking/requiring HIV+ persons to notify potential sexual partners of their + status and to sign an agreement accordingly.  This was before such behavior was criminalized.  I don't recall the MAGA crowd getting worked up back then over the 'my rights' of HIV+ being trampled and having to sign government agreements.


Wait wait wait..  Back this truck up.  You really just compared a fairly virulent form of the flu with what is basically an elective disease passed around by promiscuous degenerates?  Really?  ;/

Big difference.

This would be a very big help: a call to standardize how COVID data is collected and coded across the country.  Then we can be comparing apples to apples.  I hope that the CDC goes ahead with this.

Absolutely this.  We would definitely see more believable numbers.  It might even help to sift out bogus or fraudulent stats to a some degree.

Cobs is what I mean to say. Although wouldn't husks work as well?

Coming from someone that spends most of their summer in corn and soybean fields, green husks will work in a pinch.

My uncle told me he always used the Sears's catalog. He just wasn't sure about those cobs.

The outhouse will have two buckets of cobs. A bigger one of brown/red cobs, and then a smaller bucket of white cobs.

The main wiping is done with the brown/red cobs, and you should only need one white cob as the "checker cob".

Went to pick up an order at Primary Arms today because I didn't want to wait for it.  They had signs posted at each parking spot outside to text them your order number and parking spot number.  They brought out my order in about 10 or 15 minutes.
