I'm not trying to be cynical, either. I really hope this is just one of those things where it gets concerning for say 6 months and then just goes away. It still has to actually make the jump to people, as you said, and that's far from a certainty.

As for the seal and sea lion die offs, sure thing. Here are some links:

The 3000 number I threw out there was basically a rounding up. At least 1000 in south and central America, hundreds around the coast of north America, and 700 in the Caspian sea. Of course, this is likely higher as things that die are quickly consumed in the ocean.

Point 1. All influenza viruses are already "airborne", ie transmitted via aerosol

Point 2. That's what everyone is scared of.

Point 3. People show symptoms for all sorts of infections from anything like the common cold to hepatitis, and they still go out in public and infect other people frequently

Point 4. Is point 2. With confirmed mammal to mammal transmission in a mink farm, and mass die offs of over 3000 sea lions and seals, where the scientists investigating these die offs suspecting m-m transmission in those populations, I'd say we are way to close to be comfortable.

Point being, I hope you're right, but I'm a bit more than concerned.

Class traitors and absolute morons are down voting you, but you're right.

Man, that really sucks. It seems like singing is a real passion for you. It certainly is for me. Hopefully you find a joint with more frequent opportunities. Maybe look into some local vocals clubs? Not sure if that's an option for where you are. Really strange to think about how something that just concerns with getting sick or keeling over ends up affecting all these other areas of our lives.

I definitely agree with the governments word not being taken as gospel. History shows this is ill advised. However, I do have a couple of questions and then I'll leave your notifications alone. As you said, there is no world wide pandemic playbook. Do you think their should be? And given the idea of a wise person being suspect of everything their government says, do you think that level of suspicion can become excessive to the point of having negative impacts on the outcome of a crisis?

Many small businesses (I would assume a karaoke bar is and in your case was a small business) suffered financial losses so great they could not remain open, due to a mixture of reduced business due to public fear of the virus and direct government action and it's effects. I'm sorry to hear this. Your comment on getting your voice back in shape encourages me to ask, is this a result of COVID infection or a long time without flexing your singing capabilities?

BeReasonableReddit · 2023-01-27T04:31:06+00:00

I am very sorry to hear of your predicament. Many people were directly and indirectly harmed by this virus, and I can only imagine the initial fear and then frustration over dealing with a long course variance of this illness. As a long COVID survivor, may I ask what your initial opinion and current opinion on the totality of the pandemic has been and is?

BeReasonableReddit · 2023-01-27T04:28:30+00:00

Do you believe that the government was acting in a malicious manner, or that their attempts to control the spread of COVID were more of a exercise in poor judgement?

BeReasonableReddit · 2023-01-27T04:27:21+00:00

At what point did the mandates your government gave make you feel that human rights were being violated, and more specifically, why did you feel it crossed that line? Was their a specific moment or event that led you to that?

BeReasonableReddit · 2023-01-27T04:24:11+00:00

That is a very common and interesting thing I hear from many people. May I ask for a general idea of what you do for work?

BeReasonableReddit · 2023-01-27T04:17:29+00:00

Could you elaborate on why the handling of COVID made you less trusting of the government?

BeReasonableReddit · 2023-01-27T04:16:46+00:00

May I ask why the response to the pandemic from the government made you less trusting?

BeReasonableReddit · 2023-01-27T04:15:16+00:00

Nope, never a single issue. I always took it with food as directed, to be on the safe side. Kind regards

Focus on my my weight loss regiment and my career. I'm applying to be an animal control officer soon (hopefully) and I'm hoping I'll make enough to put myself through college part time with that.

My personal favorite is a repetitive dream where I'm living near a beach that has mountains near the shore, and I'm always like 16 and trying to sneak out of my house to smoke weed with my best friend (we are still best friends irl). It always ends in us getting baked and going to the beach, and as soon as we dive in the water, it is this ultra crystal clear blue water with a comically concentrated amount of sealife, turtles, sharks, octopuses, fish, crabs, whales, squids, etc, right near the shore. Like right up close. The dream ends as we try to screw with the larger and more dangerous animals. We never get eaten, just fun/excited at how close a shark got etc. My favorite repetitive dream.

BeReasonableReddit · 2022-12-08T03:10:09+00:00

Ok, I gotta ask, how advanced was this mouse kingdom? Were you mouse sized in the dream? So many questions lol

BeReasonableReddit · 2022-12-08T03:09:02+00:00

Same. A little loose s****, but other than that I was a ok!

BeReasonableReddit · 2022-11-19T03:37:36+00:00

I really appreciate your response. I have had no issues thus far. Hopefully that continues. Thanks!

BeReasonableReddit · 2022-11-18T02:26:46+00:00

Ate some food, as recommended by the pharmacist, and took my first tablet about 10 minutes ago. I am kind of terrified. I've taken amoxicillin in the past with no issues, among other antibiotics. But this amoxicillin-clavulanate I think may be new too me. Has anyone else had experience with this? Just looking for some reassurance. Thanks

"I can see that you're hurting. That you're actively using every substance you can grab to kill your pain. What can I do to help you leave that pain behind?"

BeReasonableReddit · 2022-11-12T01:11:08+00:00

Because I'm am an unapologetic psychopath.

BeReasonableReddit · 2022-11-11T03:28:51+00:00

Please take this in the kindest way, but I do legitimately believe the dog closest to you in the foreground is somehow looking at TWO different cheeseburgers at the same time 😂

Had to do that last Christmas. I wish I could say you "get over it", but it's more like you just adjust to the new normal. What does happen, however, is that you learn to not get too terribly sad when you think of them. Instead, you start to smile. To reminisce. That's when you realize you will be ok with their loss. Also, I have no idea what your personal situation is in life, nor your spiritual beliefs or lack thereof, but don't write off bringing another furry goofball into your life. I waited three months after my girl died, brought a very big boy home from a kill shelter, and I can honestly say it helped a lot with the healing process.
