@Kestrel What makes me mad is that it keeps clogging up my social media feed except -- this meme doesn't even have the worst one. Namely that Corona doesn't even exist, it's all 5G radiation killing people.

Oh my town was doing that way before the virus came along. The believing about 5G, I mean, not the killing people.

I thought the same when I saw the meme.

Couldn't catch it fast enough to screenshot, but my god the true spirit of AMERICA is flowing freely in the comments section of my governor's press conference today (announcing that all WA state K12 schools will be closed through end of the year, except for online distance learning).

My favorite comment from the peanut gallery on FB: "Did you know that the British president Boris Yeltsin has coronavirus now?"

My god if that is not stereotypically American now...

Rob Lowe got so bored, he did a Tiger King cosplay from his house.

Rob Lowe is a goddamn treasure.

The best part of this is knowing Rob Lowe owns that shirt.

You can also do this without wearing a mask, if you're not a coward!

New government guidance is not to allow cats outside because they can contract the virus.

So now I am faced with a terrible choice, do I release murderous felines with a lust for the blood of the innocent and the possibility of spreading a deadly plague to the neighborhood?

Or do I cope with floofy kitties who SHOUT ALL OF THE TIME THAT THEY WANT TO GO OUTSIDE and will gladly dismantle my house and/or claw my face whilst I try to sleep if I do not open the windows to let them outside into the sun so that they can lounge on top of the shed?

@Packrat A suggestion, for I am Aria, fixer of things and savior of kittehs/possibly yer unclawed face.

I will note, re: cats, that the study that gave this data was... -handwiggle-

***=because the article made me super sad so***

so, yes, kitties CAN get it, but it's extremely unlikely and their mortality rate is low as is their infection rate.

HOWEVER.
THAT SAID.
I am a proponent of keeping cats inside ALWAYS because the world is a dangerous place full of cars and shitty people.

@Auspice I am in the UK here so indoor/outdoor cats are very much the norm with keeping them inside all of the time largely considered to be cruel, along with being lucky enough to live in quiet suburbia so there is maybe one car every ten minutes down my road.

So most of the time they are free to head out and do cat stuff in my garden or those of my immediate neighbors (they are girls and so do not roam very far). Both houses alongside mine are owned by people who like cats and feed them treats for that matter, I know the braver of my two spent portions of last summer approaching barbecues then demanding and receiving a tribute of sausages.
