#8 I guess...
I'm committed to growing everything out, I wanna come out of this pandemic looking like bigfoot.
Do supermarkets in America have temperature scanners at the entrance yet to show people don't have a fever?
This is not an airtight method to show if someone is a risk. A lot of people have temperatures that run higher than average, and if the device beeps or flashes a red/yellow color just because it's a woman's time of the month, then there could be panic in the rest of the line.
The method comes off as sexist, but seeing where it came from, not surprised.
who cares about the Southern Ocean.
Wife works at a skilled nursing facility. For them 99°F was the cut off. I had to ask honestly if that was even considered a fever. It seems like most consider 97-99 the average range.
Although 98.6°F is also not average body temperature anymore but it's the number I have stuck in my head, just like there are only 4 oceans, who cares about the Southern Ocean.

who even knows how accurate the goddamn temperature checkers are anyway.
Have you ever read Orwell's 1984? I ask because it sounds like you're kind of living in it.
I'm just here for the book and movie deal once I get back to Hamburgercountry.
Totally flew over their heads = half the people on the conversation added LoneSage to the secret police foreigner blacklist. Redacted!
I've heard this conspiracy theory, but don't at all find it plausible. Even a rogue government understands suicide...
How dare you, I fucking do!
Does anyone KNOW that more people are dying from communicable respiratory illness the normal#4 cause compared to say last year or big?

Hoping everyone is doing well and taking care of themselves. Honestly, this pandemic has my nerves and anxiety all messed up. I live with and take care of my mother who has been battling lung cancer for a couple of years, but is in remission now. I only leave the house to get supplies maybe once a week if even that now and wear mask everytime. Hope I don't bring this virus home and my Mom catches it.
Remember Luc Montagnier? Sure, you do. He's the Nobel Laureate whose identification of the virus that causes AIDS garnered him plaudits, laurels, and, of course, the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Unfortunately, since winning the Nobel Prize, from a scientific standpoint, Montagnier's been on a downward spiral. Sadly, it didn't take long after his Nobel acceptance speech for disturbing signs of crankery and quackery to appear. For instance, Montagnier published a paper that implied that DNA could teleport, using this study, whose results were almost certainly the result of contaminants in Montagnier's PCR reactions, as support for the principles of homeopathy. On another occasion, Montagnier appeared in an HIV/AIDS denialist film and appeared to be saying that HIV can be cleared "naturally" with diet and supplements. Worse, of late Montagnier has been turning his talents to the treatment of autistic children. Indeed, he's run highly unethical study of long term antibiotics as a treatment for autism. His low point came a month ago, when he actually presented his work at that yearly autism "biomed" quackfest, Autism One. Let's face it. As a scientist, it's really hard to go from winning the Nobel Prize to the ignominy of presenting to a quack conference in such a short period of time, but somehow Montagnier managed it. I thought that was as low as Montagnier could fall.

June 2012 article. I get it, you're a skeptic, but the problem is that you don't have the right toolkit to be able to detect bullshit... probably too far gone into the confirmation bias rabbit hole to be able to bootstrap yourself out of it, too.
