Covid19 -- I'm 99% Sure most of you know but just in case you don't.... CHILDREN WHO GET THIS SCAR THEIR LUNGS FOR LIFE Not just become superspreaders, but risk developing an autoimmune syndrome that can last DECADES.
CChuuni
Sunlight doesn't kill it
CChuuni
You are not safer at the beach than in your HOME AWAY FROM INFECTED PEOPLE
CChuuni
Think of it like zombie viruses. The only way to kill it is to deprive it of hosts
CChuuni
I'm not saying we activate the Halo rings to kill the flood 
BUT
BUT
CChuuni
stop being stupid

I miss surfing. I miss having a life. :| The more they see of the LITERAL LUNG SCARRING
CChuuni
and I compare my chart
CChuuni
I go "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu DID I get SARS in 2003?????????"
CChuuni
I mean I didn't but DAMN THE OVERLAP THO
DAMN THE OVERLAP THO
CChuuni
ATHLETES ARE MORE AT RISK NOT LESS

/throws shit at POTUS
Whatson
is it just being outside, or in the water?
E.S. Levi
Beach means crowds, but COVID is primarily waterborne.
E.S. Levi
Outside while respecting social distancing is safer than inside while not, but air circulation won't help if you're standing six inches from three other people.
CChuuni
^ The air circulation doesn't basically ~~~work~~~ on beaches
CChuuni
Unless you are isolated on a private beach and have a good distance from neighbors etc. but generally no
E.S. Levi
The same goes for crowded parks and playgrounds, really. Unless you can keep your distance from all other visitors, Don't.
CChuuni
ya
CChuuni
Even then
zoki.
yeah x.x I just found my ocean pictures from last year and I miss it so much, but it's not safe. five months of staying home really taking its toll, but compared to a lifetime of me/cfs....
E.S. Levi
Swimming is just worst because...waterborne. (The same applies to saunas/steam rooms. My gym is open, but has everything to do with water still shut down.)
CChuuni
You need to not be in space where they were in the last 15 minutes
CChuuni
/shudder
CChuuni
YEAH LOOK JUST 
My supid scarred lungs and CFS/ME and damage and ALLERGIES and dying and PARALYSIS

CChuuni
THIS COULD BE YOU
CChuuni
YOU COULD ALTERNATELY AVOID IT
CChuuni
I STRONGLY RECCOMMEND AVOIDING
CChuuni
I suffered so you don't have to
E.S. Levi
Even if you have the right circumstances for a mild case, still avoid!
E.S. Levi
Both because even mild cases are contagious, and because...look. You don't say 'eh, it's just bronchitis, no big' because the alternative is pneumonia, you say 'even the mild cases suck, I'm staying away from that'.
Whatson
so, why does air circulation on a beach "basically" doesn't work?
E.S. Levi
Because people are too crowded together.
E.S. Levi
If you have a bunch of people packed in one area, even if you feel a breeze, that breeze is going to be carrying the breath of everyone standing upwind of you.
Whatson
avoid crowded places, got it
E.S. Levi
Yep, that's the long and short of it. If you can't stay spaced out, don't go.
Whatson
That feel when you know of someone who had it and they call it "disappointing."
E.S. Levi
It...has a range of symptoms, people...
E.S. Levi
Also, at least one person has had what seemed like a trivial case, and then gone into organ failure because of an excessive immune response.
Exacerangutan
yeah i feel like we've known for a couple months that it can have sneaky, long-term effects but people keep assuming it can't possibly have sneaky, long-term effects for no particular reason
CChuuni
Lmfao yeaaaaah either they didn't have it, they're just stupid, or their immune system hasn't had time to kick their ass OR they smoke enough weed that it coated the parts of their lungs that would be susceptible. They still suck and are stupid though.

CChuuni
LMFAO I hadn't even seen it I just knew. see?
CChuuni
FTR: athletes are also more susceptible because their lungs already work hard, and the workaholic types (like me) are trained to "push past the pain" even though pain is a fucking warning sign you're about to get a collapsed lung
CChuuni
So the whole "they're strong! They work out!" Does NOT mean shit
CChuuni
If anything, it's riskier.
CChuuni
Theoretically might also be why it's worse for cats and carnivores than omnivores too. I'm not 100% sure (not even 50. More like 45%) because it gets REALLY into the breakdown of proteins in lungs etc. And it might be too specific honestly.
CChuuni
Although, for the duration of this, I encourage everyone to avoid meat-packing plants. Support the workers, but shit is severe right now. And swine flu and other meat pandemics are fucking up Asia still so
CChuuni
Be careful with your meats, ok? Ok.
CChuuni
And there's no health regulation in the us almost. Like. Remember the e coli lettuce, and other Trump shenanigans? It's worse now. Esp. for meat.
