Matt the Bruins Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yeah, I'll be pleasantly surprised if the next four weeks don't double the US death toll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And 5 of the 7 are worse but in very close agreement. By June 6th, another 27-32,000 dead. Right. I'm feeling way too much despair creeping in today, so I'm out of here at least for the night...I hope. Take care, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either that, or it's a natural history sort of thing, and there's a voice-over by their version of David Attenborough describing the bizarre incompletely civilized race on Sol III.

unclevlad Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 David Attenborough or John Cleese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Either is possible, but I think it'd be more mortifying for it to be a purely authoritative figure like Attenborough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hopcroft Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I suppose I've passed a milestone -- my first Coronoavirus nightmare. I was awakened by a dream in which I found out a family member had passed from it, without my being there or even knowing they were sick. Which is entirely in the realm of possible events. I did not get back to sleep, so if at some point today I mention fluorescent-orange four-winged penguins carrying four-inch-long dachshunds on their heads and playing the kazoo, you'll know why.

Bruh, come'on, Sigma Xi and the CCP is run by Xi Jinping. In China surnames are first so Xi Sigma is obviously a relative of Xi Jinping's. Then consider that Jinping means soley and sigma means sum. Clearly they are the same! Do you even conspiracy, bro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 I have a license plate holder that says "Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow", so the answer is clearly yes. Pariah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 And I just had my first coronavirus nightmare. I received word that a family member had died and I had no0t been there for them. I hadn't even known. Nobody had told me. It was so startling that I did not sleep again the rest of the night. I am having some health issues today and am seeing a practitioner this afternoon. But when I get there, I'm going to put a couple of emergency contacts on my file so that doesn't happen to me, because the thought of dying silent, alone, and friendless breaks my heart.
