So many dreams are dashed by this epidemic. It's really disheartening. I have a niece who is kicking ass in college on a Biochem major. Straight A's, first in her class in Biochem (my major, so yeah, I'm pretty proud of her). Already working for a professor and only a junior. And it's all up in the air. Time is precious for her. Her senior year is going to be a clusterfuck. She wants to go to med school. But who knows if she'll be able to complete the necessary courses on time to apply next year? On another front, I have a friend who just lost his job and is 58 years old. He's been there for 15 years and now he has to start over somewhere else once he finds a job but of course nobody is hiring.That is so depressing . It’s a bad movie. I still have not gotten my duck masks even shipped out to
Me. I do have this snake one coming in 2
Weeks. Tool concert on indefinite hold which really hurts. but the hospital did issue new warnings that if you don’t have a mask on you will have to go outside or security or police will be called to arrest . Did you hear about that covidiot in NJ who opened his gym early and broke the state rules for reopening? . He said he didn’t care and that first night he was issued a $2,000 fine . On the bright side (I can’t wait!!!!) Biden is going to kick Trumps ass. I loved that video hanimmal , I think that’s the guys name . You know who I mean . He posted that 17 minute video of Biden sounding like the bad ass he is talking to some black guy with a hat on. I for some reason think it might have been called the breakfast club . Man Biden is one cool dude . I love that guy!

My chief worry is my mother who is in an assisted living facility. I can't even see her, its' so locked down. She has dementia and doesn't understand what's happening.
So, yeah, it's just one big anxiety attack right now for everybody. Then Trump gets up and demands we turn churches into massive infection sites so that the epidemic we shut down at the cost of about 10 trillion dollars can start back up.
And we are not even half way done with it all. What if Trump squeezes out another win? We'd be so fucked. Biden is OK, he might even be good. Regardless, he's going to be leagues better than Trump.
Then, how in heaven's name did we get to the point where our first line health care workers lack the most basic PPE? It's not just in Oklahoma. We have a friend in Portland, OR who told us a neighbor asked her to make masks for her and her co-workers because in her ICU, they had no masks. Her neighbor told her she had to intubate and work with Covid patients without a mask!
I crabbed at @DIY-HP-LED because the "science news" he moons over is aggravating me with their unfounded optimistic stories about HCQ and this new vaccine, which is, I think, a great investment in research but I have little hope for it to be helpful next year. I wish he'd post that shit on an appropriate forum. Trump is using false hope to distract people, which is why, on the politics forum, it seems out of place.
Cool mask. Me, I wear the one my wife made that has hearts on it.
