How many people do you know would choose to spend the honeymoon in fucking Texas, or Florida or Cali, over Hawaii?

I spent my honeymoon in Alaska.

Just part of it, and of course that was after spending the first 8 days of my honeymoon in Hawaii. I wanted to do both, back-to-back. I actually got bronchitis in Alaska, it seems the climate change was too much of a shock. 22 hours of daylight and temps in the 30s.

Does it really matter what you did or didn’t do? It’s flattened. True?

a little. It matters a lot more what our leaders did. I'm not sure what the past two months accomplished except a terrific chance to buy low.
You’re going to have to show me where it says that in the constitution! Hahaha!!

Wasn't Alaska still owned by the Commies back then?

Always knew you were a pinko.

20-somethings aren't dying from this virus. Let's get our athletes back to work. Limit crowds to maintain social distancing, but life has to start somewhere.

Now I know you're simply being argumentative. Just because those three states may be warmer and sunnier than fucking Ohio and Pennsylvania doesn't mean they are even close to the same climate as Hawaii.

to be honest I’m not that fond of Hawaii. I’d Probably take Texas or Florida over Hawaii, I get that I’m in the minority on that opinion.

So the people who have gotten this and the people who have died from this didn't see the sun? Were you confined to underground tunnels when you "got" this earlier?

There's less daylight in the winter. It's freaking DARK at 4:30 PM in the winter here. But I guess you must just think it's a weird coincidence that flu season ends when the days start to lengthen, and it gets warmer outside.

Is it sunny in California? Florida? Texas? Are they right there behind Hawaii in your rankings? Or maybe it's something other than sunshine that is the key for Hawaii. Like maybe the fact you're 6 hours from anywhere. Nooooo....you've seen people walking around with your eyes. What am I talking about. You've already cracked it.

My god.
Are you actually serious?
FL: 2190 deaths.
TX: 1503 deaths.
CA: 3684 deaths.

NY: 29 THOUSAND deaths. Perhaps sheltering in place in a high rise apartment complex isn't sheltering in place at all. Maybe it's sheltering with the other 8 million people all living on top of each other. Not to mention they travel UNDERGROUND, you know, where there isn't any sunlight.

Which is why being out with people, in confined indoor spaces is by far the most dangerous. Most of the spread takes place at home, after "sort of sheltering in place" people get it externally and then bring it home.

That's why going to the beach or shaded but isolated forest is far safer than a pub or church.

UV light is also good at killing the bug, meaning it lives on surfaces a lot less time. There also tends to be a lot less surfaces to touch at a beach.

If people stop taking proper precautions, and start packing beaches, then those become dangerous situations too, and the UV light doesn't prevent that.


Given the volume of folks who have grown tired of taking precautions, or are just sloppy like many humans (which includes just flat out forgetting to not drift or stand together, which is a really hard habit to break), I am concerned. Defiance and self importance are key American attributes, including martyrdom.

I was on Lake Mead today. There were at least 50 boats and a couple hundred people parked in the cove where I was. I saw a LOT of surfaces that I would like to touch. Someone brought pasties, and a bunch of chicks started wearing them. Then the pasties ran out, so chicks just started going topless. It was GLORIOUS.

I was led to believe flattening the curve was quite scary.

What exactly did we do to flatten that curve? I saw brief obedience to delay that spike, but next to nothing to handle it's eventual return. But those sweet profit margins are intact, which is an implied part of the constitution.

Whose profit margins? There are millions of small businesses that this lockdown has destroyed.

So this all just a big advertisement for the state you live in. Gotcha.

Listen. You are hanging your hat on the sun. The sun is also in those places. What those places don't have is the isolation. If you want to ignore a huge variable like that, just so you can toot toot about your home state, I'm not gonna bang my head against a wall trying to stop you.

Texas doesn't have isolation. Wow. Here's a fun fact: YOU CAN FIT THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF PLANET EARTH IN TEXAS, AND EVERYONE WILL HAVE ONE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET.
