COVID-19/corona virus mega thread/prepping thread

[TommyGunn]

I came across this yesterday. It's a woman in LA that owns a small funeral home reacting to the overwhelming number of bodies she has to deal with due to covid. This was filmed in late January this year.

She also does a fair amount of complaining about the lack of assistance being provided by the government.

    Yea,  "one phone number"  ....  government should be that efficient ...

It's possible if the town you're in is small enough. Of course, that would like Mayberry small . . . .

I might consider a vaccine but not before there is an antidote.

  Huh?   An antidote to covid 19 or the vaccine?

Well, looks like fed.gov is moving forward with vaccine passports. Some of those interviewed (not gov from what I could tell) thought it was a great idea to use them if you want to go to a restaurant or something as well.

The Vaccination Credential Initiative is a coalition trying to standardize tracking data of vaccination records in an attempt to speed up a return to normal.

“The busboy, the janitor, the waiter that works at a restaurant, wants to be surrounded by employees that are going back to work safely – and wants to have the patrons ideally be safe as well,” said Brian Anderson, a physician at Mitre, a company helping lead the initiative. “Creating an environment for those vulnerable populations to get back to work safely – and to know that the people coming back to their business are ‘safe,’ and vaccinated – would be a great scenario.”

Just wait a while and you will see that carrying this "passport" will become mandatory.  It will be necessary to have it on your person if you want to engage in everyday activities outside your place of residence.  It will be a de facto internal travel document for traveling within the country.
Go ahead and call me paranoid, but just consider, when does government not overstep its bounds when an opportunity arises for it to do so?

Never let a crisis go to waste.

Just remember, "passport" to go out in public. No ID needed to vote.

Deadliest days of the pandemic: COVID-19 kills nearly 15,000 in California in January
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-02-01/january-deadliest-covid-month-la-california

I guess this is what she is talking about. 

In Los Angeles County, 6,411 people died in January — 137% more than the previous most-deadly month of December, in which 2,703 people died. To date, more than 17,000 Angelenos have died of the disease, a milestone the county surpassed Tuesday.

I figured that "passport" dealie might be a thing sooner or later, so I kept that little card they gave me that shows the dates of my two shots.

I may have to trim it down a little to fit in my wallet, though.

Hey, been there, done that.  Pursuant to the instructions on my draft card I still have it, though I don't carry it around with me.  I hope they don't find out.  Haven't been asked for my draft card in a bar for about 55 years anyway.

Impeach!

@naomirwolf
I hate to be the Democrat to have to say this but it’s time to impeach and prosecute. This is a clear and present danger and these are high crimes and misdemeanors against our Constitution and basic liberty.

To counteract any side effects of the vaccine. I wrote it mostly as a joke, but the more I think about it ...

Removing him from office gives you what?

Oh, her.

Removing her from office gives you what?

And so it goes.

It's like British Royalty, I suppose.  One drops out, another fills in.  But they're all British Royalty.

The Fix Is In.

Dust off and nuke it from orbit?

[Jim147]

It's the only way to be sure.

[WLJ]

Not to change the subject but who the heck would think it would be good idea to assign nukes to squads of Marines? You know how many of those things would either be lost, broken, or pregnant afterwards?

Yep, that bugged me too in the movie..

Considering they were on another "bug" hunt is is that a pun?

That and leaving the door open on the dropship. It was my favorite movie of the franchise, but they had to do quite a few dumb things to make it a two hour movie instead of a twenty minute short.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that they AREN'T out to "get you".  Looking at how non-leftists are being treated now will tell you what to expect in the future.
Papers like this already happened 80+ years ago.

   No one I know,  whether they hate or love the movie,  has not noticed that one "STOOPID."  I was sputtering to myself about that  to myself about that when I saw it in the theater.  A guy sitting in the next seat laughed and made some comment agreeing with the criticism .... albeit rather more forcefully.....


.....Turned out later I found out he was a Marine ...

Starting Monday until the end of the year, if you take your vaccination card to any Krispy Kreme location in the US, you can get a free glazed doughnut each day, the company said in a news release.
The card must show one or two shots of any of the Covid-19 vaccines to qualify, and it must be redeemed at a store. You don't need to buy anything to get your daily free doughnut.

If I hadn't heard that a week ago, I'd think it was an All Fool's Day gag. Either skip the vaccine and have a slim chance of dying early - or get the vaccine, and increase your chances of dying early from diabetes, heart disease, whatever other complications of eating donuts every day.

[zxcvbob]

I've never had a Krispy Kreme donut.  If I find a store, I'll get a free donut just to see what the hype is about.  Not every day; probably just the one.

There was a KK in Rochester, MN but it didn't last long.  I suspect because they couldn't compete with the donuts at KwikTrip convenience stores; they are really good, fresh, and $2 a half dozen.  Never fresh enough that they are still warm, that's the one advantage KK had over KT but it might not be enough.
