The air is vibrating with tension; the ground is trembling under the horde. Don't go out; don't reach out. Heartbeats rapid; fists clenched. Death is around every corner, in every chest. We are human. We are death. And if you dare breathe us in, death is you.

Join us mortal. Touch our air. A smile, a laugh is all we beg. A shake, a crowd is all we need. Join us mortal, for we the horde, for we the damned, we have all the toilet paper.

We chopped through the night and we chopped through the dawn
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
But I made up my mind that I had to go on"

So it will be
A common treasury for all"

I think this thread nicely encapsulates the tensions between accepting that govs may in times of crisis need to take extraordinary and authoritarian measures and how you might square that circle when those measures are taken by a gov that you fundementally don't trust and percieve wants to be authitarian (or down right fascist). This applies in UK and US for sure atm.

Morning Nauts

Ken-Dogger: Morning Chopper, how are you doing?

Chopper: Not bad bro, but…

KD: But what? What are you doing with your paw?

C: I’m givin’ hints

KD: Really, let me guess, you’re saying hi…

C: Not Exactly Dogger, I signaling a pause (paws)…I think we’re taking a pause

KD: Hopefully, that’s all it is and not a new way of living

C: Bro, we got each other, so hold me tight.

“Epidemics always have become political,” said Mayer. “Governments seem opposed to admitting that things were handled imperfectly, yet it is only by identifying the imperfections and shortcomings that things can be addressed to do a better job next time. With emerging infections, there will always be a next time.”
