you might've forgotten how stupid and annoying most people are

I technically work from home, but I also rent out a hot desk at a shared office space that I use maybe twice a week, mostly for writing or light editing. Working from home every single day does make me a little crazy. I get along great with the people there, and in fact it's how I met my girlfriend

I guess it depends on the kinds of people you work around, and if you need a girlfriend/friends. I don't.

Yeah well I always need friends and girlfriends

This is a lot of white dudes

Yes, their policy seems off. Schools still open. Horse racing with large crowds.

Not just that. Herd immunity. That’s the actual term. And involves letting the old infirm and vulnerable die out.

It doesn’t even work after they’re dead

I always thought herd immunity was getting as many people as possible vaccinated so that those that have legitimate reasons not to get a vaccine were safe(r).

In this instance it means letting people, ALL of them, build up a natural immunity through exposure.

Brits (the notable sensible ones) are losing their minds on twitter. Have a look for yourself

Twitter is not for me. I believe you.

this thing is airborne, people

it spreads even when people don't talk or cough or touch things

You know cleaning things....not touching everything you see...not putting your hands in your mouth like a baby is a good thing even if it isn't a defense against EVERYTHING.

Tree, not be a dick here, but you are wrong. Virus don’t stay in the air that long and It will make a significant difference in the rate of new infections allowing time for support and healthcare systems to adapt.

In the recent Joe Rogan podcast, I learned that yes, it generally helps, but if you're near someone with Coronavirus, it won't really help

yeah you're right, i was stupid to say that.. maybe the expert was saying something else oops

Thread on a deadly serious topic that will affect us all has been infected with the deadly thread derailment tree virus.


Just great.

Dime you are such an ass . you never give me the benefit of the doubt and always assume the worst with me. I admitted I shouldn't have said that and I probably misunderstood something I heard from an expert.

To be fair, that post seemed sarcastic

Again not giving me the benefit of the doubt. I wish I could find that thing that I heard from that Joe Rogan podcast but he was basically saying that washing your hands won't necessarily prevent you from getting this coronavirus if I heard it correctly. If I'm wrong I admit that I'm wrong. Of course it still helps to wash your hands in many many ways
