That wealthy woman who tested positive, decided she was the exception, left Manhattan and went to that little hospital anyway should be put in jail.

So sorry for the sharp response!

She also called containment efforts ‘bullshit’.

I mean...she’s not wrong...

Washington has the largest number of cases and deaths that we aren’t really seeing anywhere else yet. You and the people in your state and city are, of course, having a different experience than everyone else in the country.

Gotta make sure girls know that their bodies are shameful and hammer that point in at every possible moment. 🙄

They sure as shit aren’t.

What an incredibly invasive and creepy thing to ask. Also creepy-the principal claims there were “parents who are proud of the school for taking a stand to ensure prom is an encouraging, wholesome event.” aka parents who were totally fine with their girls being treated like objects that needed monitoring. 

The water hoarding is a complete mystery to me as well. People are treating this like it’s a natural disaster and the utilities will be shut off. The virus is a virulent respiratory illness, it won’t cause a zombie apocalypse. 

THEY ARE ADULTS. What is WRONG with people???

I had to physically restrain myself from hitting him.

This particular month I was stuck with a person in what was basically a closet with one large U-shaped desk running around the back and one door.

I’m going on my overseas trip to the UK next week, coronavirus be damned. If we get stuck in the UK, oh well. I can think of worse places. 

I don’t think it’s assholish to want to protect your family. If you had the means to leave an area where disease is spreading, you’d do it in a heartbeat. Obviously it would be awful if all the physicians dip out and leave everyone to die but that’s not happening (yet).

My mom was a single mother in the early 90s with three small girls. She worked two jobs, drove us to school when she could and put us on the bus when she couldn’t. We started feeding ourselves when we were very small and doing laundry early too because my mom literally couldn’t do everything. We too learned to be…

I didn’t say there was any shame in seeing a marriage counselor or therapist.

Yup-he “both sided” the gay marriage thing as though Democrats and Republicans have an equal share in discriminating against gay people. My eyes could not roll further back into my head.

I’m not sure it’s a black thing so much as a some folks are nickname people-thing.

If your marriage is all-caps HARD, there’s an issue there.
