Only use the work meeting as an excuse if it's ok that the GF comes over tomorrow night. If it's not ok period, then you need to confront that right away.


Ended up vetoing this, using the work excuse. If he wants her to come over another day, I figure I''ll just stay in my room or basement.

The safety depends on what she's doing when she's not at your place. If she lives alone and is working from home and otherwise isolating, it seems like an acceptable risk to me.

I guess it also depends on the health situation in your area. We've had a couple of visitors over the past 5 weeks, but we all stayed outside and maintained the 6 foot thing. However, our county only has 5 confirmed cases (3 recovered) and they have being testing--something like over 200 negative tests at this point. Nobody is coming from out of town (I mean I guess they might if they want to pay more than anyone else in the area for gas) and hardly anybody is going out of town for anything either.

Finally I can put these syringes and Lysol to good use.

I'm going with the light treatment. Trying to figure out how to get the sunlight into my lungs with a mask on. Maybe just a small incision and fiber optic tubing.

Wouldn't sending UV light through the skin cause serious burns?

Did we mention that evidently the remdesivir trials failed?

maybe trump thinks everyone should be getting fake tans to stop it


i seriously think the next thing will be 'sweating' it out; there's a strain on the right that is pointing to warmer weather as the fix (despite it being in plenty of warm areas)

There does seem to be some evidence that warm/humid weather might help but it won't fix it.

Our best hope right now isn't a silver bullet but a ton of uh, shittier metal bullets. Chip away at it with masks, climate, slightly increased testing, slightly better treatment protocols, increased population immunity. Nothing is going to fix it in the short term but I think we'll start to see some improvements.

What's crazy to me is how many people aren't even doing the really easy things like wearing masks in public.

he just riffs on whatever comes to mind and he's an absolute moron so he hears that light and disinfectant really works on the virus on surfaces and this is what you get.

We're like 2 days from the Press Conference when Trump announces that you can kill COVID-19 by sticking a fork in an electrical outlet
