A multifaceted rant:

Some background info. I work in a hospital (MT) in West Virginia, which is the unhealthiest or second unhealthiest state in the country, depending on which chart you look at and which year you look at that chart.

Rant part 1: we got an email telling us to keep our boxes of face masks out of public reach, because they're sold out everywhere and people are resorting to stealing them if they're left out. This isn't taking napkins from a McDonald's, idiots, thats ppe and you aren't even using it correctly. Now we're rationing them and they're approved for reuse in the same patient room if they aren't wet. That's very  Undecided

Rant part 2: it takes a plague for you to start caring about your health??? Maybe stop smoking, or lose weight, or stop eating garbage? Maybe think about exercise? Get your vaccines! You shouldn't need to remember to wash your hands and to not touch your face because you should be doing that anyways!

It's extremely frustrating. We have a large population of very unhealthy people who are at a high risk of dying because they're already in bad shape, and everyone is making everything worse for themselves and everyone else. Sad

My family comes from the hills of WV - believe you me, I get it fully. Can't imagine what it must be like at a hospital.

I was going to vent here about a stone cold B* at work who just seems to go out of her way to insult or aggravate people because she has pull at work..............................but yesterday she took on a disabled veteran and found out how fast her supposed "pull" turned to vapor. Company of course sided with the vet and she's now looking for something else to do, someday, somewhere else.

I have no pity for those that pick on my fellow brother and sister in arms. Glad she's removed from that job and out of your life, chalion.  Karma wins every time

Two rants:

1) Daylight savings time is stupid.

2) With everything going around about the Coronavirus and the Tequilavirus and the Martinivirus, no one is addressing the absolute leading cause of death on this planet. 100% mortality rate, no known cure, no cure even really being worked on. Why does no one care about this horrible, horrible cause of death? I mean, yes, technically it is preventable, but once it happens, then it's just downhill and off a cliff to the end. And heck, it's already happened to all of us, so we're all more toasted than Timothy Leary at a Burning Man event.


Total non-sequitur, not even a rant, but can you imagine how high you'd get if you cremated Keith Richards and smoked him?

 I read this on my phone while sitting in my son's Ty Quan Doe class. It literally made me laugh out loud. Everyone looked at me like I'm a pychco.

 Wait until St. Patrick's day when the Guinessvirus and whiskeyvirus hit!

Smoking Keith Richards?  Can't be any worse than smoking Terrance McKenna was!

Thank you for the laugh! Have a point!

There was a time when it made sense...but its now one of the things that was made moot by technology and many states are having discussions about not doing it...some have already stopped.

To the people who bought of all the hand soap, you do know that everyone else needs to wash their hands too to avoid spreading the Coronavirus right?

Also, you should wash your hands virus or not, I've seen people used the restroom and not wash their hands

There should be something in the forum rules that states:

"If you don't at least try to use the forum search to find the answer to your question before posting it, you will be struck by Sith lightning 1d4+1 times at random times over the next 6 hours. This is for the first offense. Subsequent offenses will increase the number of die, number of sides of die, and number of "bonus" strikes by 1 step, i.e. 1d4+1 the first time, 2d6+2 the second time, 3d8+3 the third time, 4d10+4 the forth time, and 5d12+5 the fifth time. After the fifth offense, we start using non-Euclidian dice with an odd number of sides (yes, they do exist, look them up on Amazon). Any offenses after the tenth will result in 100d100+100 strikes condensed into a 5 minute time period. If you're still alive after that, you will be subjected to 5,617 consecutive hours of Obi-Wan lecturing on the nature of the Force and it's proper uses, with bonus material on having the high ground if time allows. Any further offenses after that, and we put you in... the comfy chair!"


And for the love of all that is Sith, wash your hands people! All the time, not just when there happens to be a random health scare!

That would be an awesome Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat battle though: Korona Virus vs. Midi Chlorians!

Also it annoys me when people randomly wander away from their original rant and post things that aren't even rants, or worse yet when a rant about something that seriously pisses you off loses momentum and just becomes silly. But I guess humor is one of the few things that makes dealing with people tolerable, so there's that.

Remember, don't follow the masses, because sometimes the "m" is silent.

Since when does "wash your hands" translate to "buy 120 rolls of toilet paper at Costco"?  What do people think COVID-19 is going to do to their bowels?  I haven't seen this much panic buying in my area since hurricane Harvey...and we were 150 miles inland and weren't expected to get much rain or wind (we are always on the "weak side" of any hurricanes).  As Agent K said, "People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals".

I did ask someone about the toilet paper thing. Response I got was they were stocking up so they didnt have to leave the house at all for like the next month. The logic is a little better but still fairly silly.

The stocking up thing makes sense, but I know I don't even go through ONE of those giant packages of rolls of toilet paper in a month (between 3 people). Not even half. The fact that with only 5 or so confirmed cases in my state, being unable get toilet paper anywhere ALREADY is a bit silly.

I know. Panic is contagious, even more so than the cold or flu.
