A lady in Fremont, Nebraska tested positive for COVID-19 after attending the Special fucking Olympics and a VFW dinner, showing all the symptoms you'd expect, and thinking "Yeah, it's totally fine for me to go hang out with these vulnerable citizens!"

Nebraskans have a placid attitude about this whole infection, trusting our biocontainment unit to contain, and assuming that this is just a "coastal" problem. As far as I'm concerned, though, it's not a question of whether this lady infected anyone outside her family, it's how many, and we won't know that until it's too late.

Her family is sick now, too.

We're not fucking prepared for this.

Yeah my wife asked if I was going to yoga today. (1) no, my ear feels like it has an aquarium in it downward facing dog is not my idea of a good time (2) there's like 10 people in there in their 70s and I sweat profusely at the best of times so fuck no I feel bad enough maybe exposing them to whatever two weeks ago.

I'm told that we can get chlorox wipes for our medical clinic if we order online from the grocery store the night before because the store opens at 6am and between the sprinters waiting at the door every morning and the online shoppers, it's all gone by 6:15am. Thing is? Eventually everyone who needs fuckin' Chlorox wipes will have fuckin' Chlorox wipes. They're hella easier to manufacture than blood oxygenators.
