Good god, This guy’s spontaneous persistency will never end.

Beef broth

Campbell’s chicken noodle soup says hi.

Apparently there’s word that the virus is mutating into a more infectious strain.

@CaptainXtra  
That seems to be happening a lot

@CaptainXtra  
IIRC, viruses tend to mutate after infecting a host.

@Goku Black  
I’m meaning significantly more so than usual.

@CaptainXtra  
On one hand, we had this virus for about 6 months now. On the other hand, take the news media and social media with some salt, they tend to sensationalize.

This virus has been around longer than six stinkin’ months.
 
That is bullshit!

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
Tell that to the victims of the Black Death.

@Meanlucario  
You can tell it to my dead grandmother.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
My grandmothers on both sides of the family are still here. Both my grandfathers are dead though.

@Background Pony #863F  
Ok. That first post was an accident. I have given up on this quarantine for a long time now. My extroverted personality has starved for real people. If you don’t like the news, don’t watch it, I guess…
 
It’s working for me.

@Background Pony #863F  
Or read it, since despite what people think, newspapers are still relevant, and there’s cool stuff like the Economist.

@Background Pony #39BC  
My parents are Economist readers. I do look at the occasional article, but otherwise I tend not to keep up with the news too much.

@Registered Anon  
Well that’s cool, my entire family (almost) read the Economist almost like it’s food!

So it turns out the reason the hotel quarantine failed and created a deadly second wave that ended democracy and freedom was because they put it under the responsibility of a proxy Department of Jobs minister who’s only there for looks AFAIK (no idea what she’s actually supposed to do) and she put together a Shiloh-slapdash plan made in 24 minutes by a Trichechus named Chris Sheridan and congratulated themselves for doing the equivalent of building the Westgate Bridge by stacking radio towers until they fall into the correct position under the square-cube law.

@Wiimeiser  
Sounds like a work of art. What you guys need is a government that’s terrible at everything, but has luck on it’s side, like us.

@Wiimeiser  
That’s government, always.

Well, COVID-19 community transmission is back and Auckland is getting locked down, while the rest of us go to level 2.

@Background Pony #39BC  
Doesn’t take much.

@MagpulPony  
Well, with that mess of a quarantine at the border we have, I’m honestly surprised it took so long (i.e. There was the time when a fire alarm went off and social distancing wasn’t done properly, there was all the times people escaped, there was an accident where testing was mixed up, and a bunch of other things).
