How about no, control freak.

Of course not if limited to strict, inflexible ideological dogma, but the net effect serves the "higher" goal via realpolitik: Make government the "enemy" to be destroyed like how Reagan believed or like how libertarians wish

That's the intended point.. mismanagement to form a self-fulfilling prophecy to justify and destroy government to allow more corruption and theft by the 1%; the libertarian wet dream.

Assuming, on the off chance, that this isn't some sort of quack treatment ploy, anything that works significantly would be a plus.

I'm on my 13th antidepressant now that is yet-again not working well and I'm starting to wonder if my condition is inflammation-mediated rather than receptor- or neurotransmitter-caused as only mirtazapine (also a powerful antihistamine) ever helped me significantly, but only for a limited time.

Let's be honest: owls are birb ninja assassins.

Wear a reliable mask, fitted properly and remove it properly.

Also, wear indirect or non-vented eye protection, or you're that gate on a road without a fence that the virus drives around.

Finally, think carefully about airborne persistent micro-droplets, fomites and personal sanitation.

To manipulate people against their own interests to supposedly "save" PPE for HCWs, even though HCWs often get PPE from different manufacturers and distribution channels. Dishonesty and bad advice defeats the whole mission and purpose of public health organizations.

Just like the 1880's: conspiracy theories, rumors and Alex Jones' snake oil panaceas. The world is headed to another Dark Age at this rate.

That's a sweeping over-generalization. I said find a good textbook.

So the financial equivalent of being beaten and dragged off a plane. Airlines couldn't be anymore customer-hostile unless they needle behind the ear, shrink-wrapped people and threw them into piles like rolls of carpet.

Stop giving bureaucracies evil ideas to torture us and waste even more of our time. ;@)

In the future, I want a drone with a replicator to land and make the shipment of products right in front of me. :-P

I just learned cooking white and brown rice together doesn't work because the white rice will keep absorbing liquid until it's saturated, leaving hard/uncooked brown rice. Whoops. Haha.

Biggest "duh" ever. Daddy issues and mommy issues are nuanced but create similar patterns of damaged/altered behaviors in later life. Anyone who's done dating seriously becomes effectively an investigative psychologist to screen-out unhealthy candidates that would end up creating drama through their recurrent maladaptive/negative-attention-seeking relationship patterns.
