D&D and the rising pandemic

Now up to 5 cases, all in Auckland. Spread from the hospital.

I had a "never again" amount of alcohol last night so I should be set for the lockdown.

Students packed out the bottle store down here with half an hour of the announcement.

Only drunk the one can last night. Might test a few more tomorrow just to double check they're not poisonous.

Wise move. Alcohol is antiseptic, probably kills covid.
Better safe than sorry!


* Just to be 100% clear: This is only a joke! Drinking alcohol is absolutely not a medically-accepted way to protect oneself from Covid-19.

So, our University had a mask mandate.

The Attorney General for the State said it was illegal.

The law in question was in a budget proviso and said: “A public institution of higher learning, including a technical college, may not use any funds appropriated or authorized pursuant to this act to require that its students have received the COVID-19 vaccination in order to be present at the institution’s facilities without being required to wear a facemask. This prohibition extends to the announcement or enforcement of any such policy.”

Today the State Supreme Court Unanimously said: “[T]he proviso clearly prevents state-supported institutions of higher education from using funds from the 2021-2022 appropriations to fund efforts requiring only unvaccinated individuals to wear face masks.”

Two days before class starts, we again have a mask requirement on campus.

Proven true a while back: gargling with Listerine (which has diluted alcohol) meant you had no COVID in your mouth / breath afterwards.
I never did hear how fast the virii return, though.

And IMHO Listerine tastes better than beer (except original-flavor Listerine, which is tied with Pabst Blue Ribbon beer for "tastes worst").
 



I haven't had bleach, but I have had gin. Are you sure?
I won't tell the whole story here (too much set-up) but a family member of mine was told to open the liquor storage "closet" at work one Monday morning and see what that reeking liquid coming under the door was ... Several cases of gin had fallen over and shattered. Sometime over the weekend. The closet was full of gin fumes. They feel ill at the scent of gin, to this day.

Gonna test that theory out. Third time this week I've bought a two week supply!! Russian beer what doesn't kill you....

Up to 7 cases now it's delta and it's from Australia.


Season 3 of the 1pm daily briefing has started.
