live in the boonies.

You're in the south. It's all the boonies.

Slow your roll, Somerset...

[shoeshine boy]

are we sure Rhode Island is even a real place?

I went to the Newport Folk Festival back in the late 90s.....

Rhode Island, if it actually exists, has been added to governor Kehmeh's travel QT list

My antibody test that was provided through blood donation came back negative. Like I said earlier... I don't put any sort of stock into the results, but it seems as though I don't have any antibodies. Can't wait for the students to all return to the area.

Did you have COVID?

[meow]

No NAN. No one else here is as cool as you

[count2infinity]

Seemingly no. I didn't have a positive test result, if that's what you're asking.

I went to donate blood and the antibody test was just included in that. I wanted to donate before things go crazy here. 40ish thousand people flooding into a town of ~50K, and those people being college kids. It's going to be a disaster here.

Everyone coming back soon? Are they seeing a reduction in enrollment?

Classes start on the 24th. I think the last I heard, about 25% of courses will have some form of in person content. If you figure on someone taking 5 courses, the likelihood that they'll have to be here for some form of in person content is pretty high. From what I understand, enrollment is actually up from years past.... somehow. No clue how that works.

Ah, gotcha. I thought maybe you had it, and was seeing if you build up antibodies.

I'm hoping if I'm living after this that I've got some.

People could then spit on me and I can just laugh in their face.

Didn't my butt give it to you?

I guess we'll see how it goes.

Not having antibodies does not mean you can get it again. There are other forms of protection.

Ugh, I knew that I shouldn't have looked in here...

Just an FYI, my wife said when she talked to the ACHD person after my positive test, they were marking her and my kids as positive cases as well on the assumption they got it. If that is the case, the numbers include positives for entire households for one person that got it in there.

Whether she misinterpreted that or not is up for debate.

Realistically thats probably the right thing to do. You getting better?

Still feel the same. Hasn't gotten better, hasn't gotten worse. Just status quo.

Tylennol flu helps.

What symptoms are you having? Lose your sense of taste and smell?

Are we sure nan had taste before this

Case rate is still plummeting week over week. Even when factoring in Florida not reporting all cases because of the hurricane.

Just weeks before the return of Penn state students, the borough of State College is cracking down on people who don’t wear masks. Council there has voted unanimously in favor of a new ordinance —based on guidelines from the CDC and–
state health officials.

In effect right now– this motion states that if you don’t wear a mask– or comply with guidelines– you could be fined $300. It says everyone is required to mask up inside buildings and businesses–
and whenever they are within 6 feet of someone. In addition– the ordinance also puts limits on lines at bars– cutting the maximum number of people to 10. Before the vote, members of the borough council chimed in on why exactly they supported such drastic measures…

“Everybody talks about their rights… we have responsibilities that go with every single right that we have. and one of them is to keep our neighbors and our community safe and healthy…” says borough council member, Theresa Lafer.

Wearing a mask won’t be enforced when doing physical activity, and if you have a medical condition– you’ll need to present documentation from a medical professional. Repeat violators would be declared a nuisance and could be removed from the borough.

I don't know if you've heard this c2i, but my wife talked to somebody who's entering their freshman year at UPS. He said they are required to take 1 in person class, and the rest online. Trying to keep that room and board money coming in
