This is correct. The US federal government is to blame for the crisis in America.

I think it was the signaling more than anything - in a jarring change, the government was not only allowing thousands of people to regularly congregate with each other in close proximity, public officials were encouraging it.And then public health officials encouraged it too!
We went from nonstop virus fear porn on the news to nonstop encouragement for large public gatherings - the bigger the better. Of course everyone said "fuck it" after three months of boredom and loneliness and went down to the pub.

The Dem mayors and governors knew it would lead to them doing another lockdown. I hope the suicides are worth it to them.

Dude... wtf? Don't you have any relatives or friends who can help? Or maybe GAF can help with something?
Please do not do that.

And then they get to blame Trump, who while he hasn’t done himself any favors, didn’t encourage mass gathering of fucking morons crowding the streets to scream together. Any “Public health” officials in the United States who signed that dumbass letter basically making excuses for why BLM was allowed to do their thing should at the very least be fired immediately.

Get your head up man. I guess I don’t know your situation, but maybe turn the news off for a while, get off social media, and go outside.

The news isn't the problem. The reality of CA is the problem. Newsom did this on purpose to make people homeless and destitute.

He has a wife, which is why I believe he will make it through.
For those who dont have families, this is why churches are vital. Being alone is...bad.

If no one can work and you have no money how do you make it through that? Don't assume you know people's situations.

All I am saying, is that when I had rope in hand, I couldn't do it. When push came to shove, my wife was there, she was the reason I got hospitalized, recieved ECT and 2 years of group therapy. 100%, if I was alone I’d be dead.
You have other people so I believe you will get through this. I am not saying your suffering is not real—buck up—silver lining—darkest before dawn , cuz you know what, i still hate life and deep down want to get cancer and die. And I still take a bunch of pills to keep black dogs at bay.
Nor am I saying you don't need or deserve help. You do. But you are not alone, and that is something not everyone can say.

Actually I am alone. I have no family outside of my wife and neither of us can work. Her family can't support her and they're out of work too. CA gives people $150 a week on unemployment and that won't even pay for food, let alone a mortgage payment or utilities. Again, Newsom did this on purpose to kill most of the state.
Meanwhile this place has a Trump-avatar troll antagonizing trolling and egging someone on to do something they shouldn't.

Dude if you’re going to fucking kill yourself, posting about it on an Internet forum is stupid as hell. It’s not going to make anything better. I hope you have enough sense to realize all the possible solutions to your problem and the determination to try them. But if not, posting obvious euphemisms (something they shouldn’t) to suicide is at best inconsiderate. I’m sorry you’re having a hard time, but this isn’t the appropriate venue.

I'm trying everything I possibly can do. But I have less than two weeks to find a solution.
bRacing really showed his true colors there, sheesh. Absolute garbage human.
Sorry about your situation, Mana. Stay strong, and keep fighting. You're resourceful and hard-working, I'm sure you can make it through this. Gotta lay off the suicide threats--you're not helping anything with that sort of thinking and we can't allow it here.

Well good luck. But consider the possibility that openly musing about suicide might not be good for other people. Again, it’s terrible to be going through those kind of emotions. I hope you feel better.

Glad this utter cunt is gone - showing a complete lack of humanity towards someone going through absolute shit. Being the provider is fucking stressful. Knowing you can't do it and losing your home.. an absolute horror.

good luck, hope you pull through, I know words on a forum don't mean shit but honestly I do hope you come out the other side strong and ready to go. The big thing is not to give up. That's never an option.

Cybersec? Shit you'll have no trouble finding good work, especially as things heat up with China. Good luck, but if you're in that line of work you can pretty much name your salary.
Unfortunately, of the known coronaviruses that spread through the population, antibodies last for none - and that seems to be the case for Covid-19 as well.
The article below sums this up.
We’re wasting time talking about herd immunity | CNN
William Haseltine writes that we should not waste time trying to build herd immunity against Covid-19, because it’s unlikely we will ever be able to achieve it. New research on the development and decline of Covid antibodies and a wealth of epidemiological evidence on coronaviruses as a whole...
www.cnn.com
In particular, this is what has worried me:
“While SARS and MERS are the coronaviruses that grab the headlines, there are four other mostly unknown coronaviruses that are much more common: 229E, HKU1, NL63 and OC43. What we know from 60 years of research into these viruses is that they come back year after year and reinfect the same people -- over and over again.”
It’s beginning to look like this virus is going to be with us for a very long time.

Eh, you'd think that. But with so many people in CA out of work now because of our tyrant governor there's and insane amount of competition. I lost out on a $15 and hour job to someone with a master's degree because people are desperate right now and they'll jump on anything.

Reminder- Tuesday reporting in the U.S. is catch-up from the weekend, and today this appears to be shaping up particularly badly as far as the numbers go (Florida and Alabama already reporting record daily deaths). I wouldn't be surprised if we have over 1000 daily deaths for the first time in a little over a month. Media will jump all over this too.

If you're applying for stuff that isn't cybersec then yeah you'll get that. I came back to the UK in 2010 - decent software developer that I am - escaping what looked to be developing into a civil war in Thailand and couldn't get a job for shit because I was applying for McDonalds, Subway, cleaning jobs, all that shit, just to get something going. Once I got back into IT I had jobs coming out of my ears. The point being that if you're overqualified for what you're applying for they won't look at you. Two options: 1 - lie and say you're not so qualified when applying for shit stuff. 2 - don't apply for shit stuff.

FOX 35 INVESTIGATES: Florida Department of Health says some labs have not reported negative COVID-19 results
The Florida Department of Health released its daily coronavirus testing report showing a statewide positivity rate of 11 percent, but FOX 35 News investigated and quickly noticed some shocking positivity rates.
10 x difference between reality and reporting.

Read about B cells. The immune system isn't just antibodies. The body creates B cells, which last for years, during infection. B cells create antibodies. Now, if you become reinfected with the same virus, it is possible the antibodies will no longer be present, however, your body will recognize the virus and be able to respond more quickly due the presence of these B cells. So while you may become reinfected, the illness is likely to be less severe the second time. If you are seriously concerned, read up on the immune system. But don't fall into the trap of scare tactic BS headlines.

Best case: It works.
Worst case: It kills almost everyone, the survivors become mute, and apes become super intelligent.
