Fuck indeed
And airlines are part of the problem. Need to cancel your flight because you have an infectious disease? Tough shit. You can eat the loss or show up and infect other passengers.
Also, let’s take in the fact that everyone thinks their travel is super important. I’m talking mostly business travelers, who will push through to meet with clients. Then you have the people who plan a vacation months out and put in for vacation time. Workers certainly don’t want to cancel if it means that they can’t change their PTO hours.
The whole US economic system is designed to make people push on through during an illness. 
Time to mask up again while flying. (Not that I ever stopped.)
Keep in mind that N95s are the minimum effective anti-measles mask. PAPR devices would be much better, but im guessing they wouldn’t let you board with one of those on!
Just got evacuated from work because of a terrorist attack nearby- somebody hurling molotov cocktails, supposedly at a group walking in support of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. A couple women were badly burned, but I don’t know anything else because the police press conference is available on Twitter and only Twitter. 
Holy crap. I just read about that. Glad you are ok.
What the hell? Hope they’re ok. How are you feeling?
I’m fine, I don’t think I was ever in much danger. It happened a couple blocks away while I was working in a basement office. I’m mostly hoping nobody died and that they’ve caught the person who did it. And angry that this sort of thing is probably going to just become more and more and more common in the USA. Not necessarily this specific act with this specific motive, just more rabid violence. People are growing increasingly desperate, enraged, unhinged and radicalized.
Here it is on MSNBC:
Thank you!
Jesus Christ! That’s awful. Glad you’re safe, though.
It is horrifying this happened in your city, but I’m glad you were not in harm’s way.
But if this can happen in Boulder, it can happen in Ann Arbor. The clock is ticking for us. School lets out in a week and a half, I’ll be remote a lot more for the summer and hopefully out of inevitability’s way.
I presumed you were not in immediate danger, but i asked how you’re feeling because i presume the whole situation could be extra stressful or scary when it’s local.
So it turns out the arsonist was screaming “Free Palestine!” while assaulting people, and he’s an illegal immigrant. This whole situation could not have benefited Trump’s fascist regime more if that had been the actual intention. This is what they’re going to point to as justification when they fire up the ovens.
I guess I don’t understand how these folks think this shit will help their cause at all. But the fascists have got to be thanking the stars for this distraction from their efforts to kill us all.
But did it find a bed that was juuust right?
