Quarantine Life

No more excuses for anyone stuck in quarantine. Just throw on a mask and get out there. Funerals, voting, prom... even hitting the grocery store if you need to.

That’s not how it works at all.

They say you're free to vote, but only if you're checking the box for the Republican Party.
You can show up to a Republican Party rally, but heaven forbid you step foot near a Democratic Party one.

You aren't even allowed to walk into a store unless you're picking up cigarettes for Andrej Plenković.

Don't bother with the pharmacy either—medicine is supposed to be for the people, not for the Republican Party.

Everything for the Republican Party, but nothing actually for anyone else.

Foreigners can just walk right in without any oversight whatsoever😁 I could end up spreading this to a whole crowd of people and nobody would even blink

You can always tell when foreign trash is coming because it smells different than our own local rot.
We need their handouts, and we'll take them even if it means getting screwed over in the process.

Once again, we’ve proven we’re nothing more than suckers.

Is it actually realistic to make a statement like this given how things are going right now? 🤦

That's a matter of policy. The epidemiologists will weigh in if they're asked.

He flew in from Belgium to Maui, and just three days later, his quarantine was already lifted

So, this guy arrived on Maui on May 8th and went straight into self-isolation at his estate, which is exactly what you'd expect. The local police actually swung by the next day to make sure Didier was following all the rules, and that was only five days ago. Fast forward to today, and Bradbury actually bumped into him in downtown Sedona while Didier was just heading over to the bank.

It was a pretty wild moment because Bradbury knows he’s technically supposed to be isolating for another nine days, so he asked what was going on, and Didier explained that he had received a text message from the Department of Homeland Security late last night around 7:29 PM stating that his isolation period was officially over.

It seems like that message probably triggered after FEMA announced recently that tourists would finally be able to visit the US without being forced into quarantine, even though Didier arrived before those rules changed and came from a country with one of the highest mortality rates from the coronavirus in the world.

I really have to wonder if this means everyone else currently stuck in isolation is going to get their restrictions lifted too?

They really shouldn't have done that. 🤦

Honestly, I’d sue the government for both the fine and the public embarrassment.

thief said:A friend of mine in NYC was listed as a contact by someone who was infected—someone who just walked right past her without any actual contact! Now my friend is stuck in self-isolation and the police were already knocking on her door today.

person, that corrupt sleazebag Andrej Plenković...

Oh sure, she just "happened" to be infected? She probably set up her little friend just to mess with her, ha ha.

My friend should just call an epidemiologist and explain exactly what kind of "contact" actually took place.

Personally, if I had to provide contacts, I’d only list people I was actually close to or those who were standing right next to me for more than a few minutes.

Honestly, I was just wondering what happens to this guy now. Is he actually getting his money back, or is our "great leader" Plenković and his little inner circle just going to glide right over this? It seems like they can just ignore every earthly problem while everyone else gets branded a bioterrorist or a mass murderer if they even breathe the wrong way.

Do you actually get some kind of official notice when your self-isolation period is finally up? I didn't even get a text message or anything, but instead, someone from the local health department gave me a call. And then, they called me just one more time after that. Oh, and the police stopped by once too.

Once your 14-day isolation period concludes, you are expected to contact your primary care physician—or the local health department if you don't have a regular doctor—to confirm that you have remained asymptomatic. This step is necessary so they can officially sign off on your medical supervision.

Everyone’s terrified of being stuck in quarantine, not actually getting sick. 🕺

Brođanin is sitting in isolation totally blindsided by how his friends are acting: "They barely even call to check in... They're actually begging me not to list them as contacts!"

Kazes Capak called me asking to pick up some breakfast pâté for him, and I didn't say a word.

My friends and I actually have this sort of unwritten agreement—if any one of us happens to test positive, we aren't going to point fingers or list everyone else as a contact, since we haven't really hung out in a while anyway. I really do feel like people are just more worried about the isolation aspect than the virus itself. I mean, if you catch it, you catch it—you're going to get better whether you're at home or out and about, especially if the symptoms stay pretty mild. It’s summer, too! Who actually wants to be stuck inside for 15 days when it's 90 degrees out instead of being at the beach?

So, Lutore Lex—given that I know from your previous posts on this forum that you don't suffer from dysgraphia or any similar condition, the way you wrote your last post suggests one of three things:

a) You’re drunk and/or high.
b) You're sick (maybe a fever so high you've lost touch with reality).
c) You're just a provocateur looking for a reaction.

If it's "b," let us know somehow so we can call an ambulance to your door.

There was this one guy in America who used to post all this "enlightened" crap online, just like you—acting like the whole thing was a hoax, saying nobody could tell him what to do, refusing to wear a mask, all that nonsense. Well, he was buried about three weeks ago. Caught that "little flu" everyone was talking about and died.

What, are you his close personal friend or something? You seem to know a lot about this one guy. Come on—give us a break.

My grandmother told me her friend heard from a neighbor who spent all day reading the news about this old man up in Canada—name's Steve, he's 93. He was a tough guy, always refused to wear a mask when he went to the local nursing home cafeteria for lunch.
And wouldn't you know it? He passed away. They're saying it was COVID.

None of the above! I was just typing super fast, and my keyboard is honestly kind of garbage.
