Plague Diary

[Doktor Howl]

I keep hearing how we're nearing the peak, then another region has CV go through it like shit through a goose.

[Cain]

Yeah, I can't say I trust this "near the peak" stuff when it is coming from governments who spent the last 12 weeks lying to us, on this very same issue.

Last night I had a sort of nightmare vision while hovering on the cusp of sleep. I saw something like a leering demonic face cast in matte black metal, maybe Iron. A little serpent looking bugger dropped out of its mouth and the thing was pinkish-red and coiled up like, well like an RNA strand. it uncurled and I quickly realized it was suddenly a bit larger and now had two heads, each looking slightly different, but basically the same in color and structure. they were like snub-nosed serpents with almost human looking eyes and eye placement. Their mouths opened up on shiny gray teeth and it very quickly began to expand and grow more heads. I don't recall when it transitioned, but eventually it was more like a scourge style whip with Brass looking heads on more tips than I could count, dozens minimum. I saw a disembodied hand grasping the handle and an almost cartoonish image of earth. It began to strike and rend as the earth turned in place and I saw DARK red blood almost like mud in color begin to flow out of the welts and divots on its surface. This was not accompanied by sound, but I FELT screaming like I only ever heard in people beyond "level 10" medical pain, like wild animal agony. When I began to smell rot I snapped out of the stupor. I immediately questioned my new alt and He said that He saw what I saw, but did not produce the vision. He seemed, for Him, a bit rattled too. We smoked like three cigarettes and talked about things I'm not comfortable talking about here. I took some sleep aids, melatonin, and vitamins and slept dreamless for long enough to feel physically and mentally refreshed, but I am a bit haunted still. I rarely remember my dreams for long, but this has stuck pretty hard.

Otherwise things are stable and even fruitful as I experiment with the Zoom technology and get to talk to friends that occasionally drop in. I am learning as much as I can and have spent probably 14 hrs a day at my computer with breaks to stretch and get other chores and necessities taken care of. My dad is slowly realizing the scope of what's going on. He's finally talking in terms of long range preparations for disaster. I tried to tell him over a month ago..

We live right between Milwaukee and Chicago. The default risk of failure on the infection roll here is a bit elevated as a result. I wear a mask whenever I go out, which is as rarely as possible.

Just in case anybody had any doubts about just how fucked we are...

Well, while all this is going on, at least Mercury isn't in retrograde.

My life has changed very little.  I live way up in the mountains, my job fell apart slightly before the plague hit so I have been doing the homemaker thing and working a few little side hustles that I can do long distance.  My wife is a nurse, but at a small hospital that has only see one case so far.  Her work is more stressful than usual, with extra gear and so forth, but not actually any more dangerous.  She's not having to work more hours, just a little grouchier about the hours she does work.  We used to go down valley once every couple of months to see my family or go out on the town and we can't do that currently, but it wasn't exactly a common routine.  Most of my concern isn't for the short term, our bills will get paid and the disease isn't likely to kill either of us, my parents are in good health and staying safe, hers are as well.  What I am scared of is the long term, the quarantine has disemboweled the economy and that means that as it lifts things are going to be very different in the long term.  I don't know exactly how society is going to change from this, there's a tiny optimistic part of me that sees resentment against landlords and support for retail workers and thinks "socialism!" but a much bigger part that suspects we are going to come out considerably worse off, with far less small businesses and more government control of our daily lives.  Instead of asshole landlords we'll be paying rent to the bank.

We have been lucky to go this long without the agricultural sector being slammed, but...

I've just been looking around, and this century is objectively worse than the 20th century, at least so far.

I agree. Fuck it's like the 20th century never had an education, suffered fetal alcohol poisoning, and got REALLY into meth and started willfully fucking a pig, then televised it before a massive, global audience and got the highest ratings in history. sort of.

[Doktor Howl]

CALLED IT.

Trump, who has been chafing at criticism that he didn't do enough early on to fight the virus, reposted a tweet that referenced Fauci's comments and that said "Time to #FireFauci." Trump again pointed to his decision in late January to restrict travel from China, writing, "Sorry Fake News, it's all on tape. I banned China long before people spoke up."

I'm putting this here because I will not soil the data thread with it, but it IS an exemplar of the misinformation problem. I was sent this by my brother when we got into a bit of an argument about Donnie. I told him that Donnie was lying and he leaped to his defense like he was a Secret Service agent who saw a gun. He cited the "Illuminati" shit that is rife within my family and I tried to explain to him that the factions now in play barely resemble the old shit anymore, and moreover that our aunt, among others, was mostly wrong about the power dynamic then and that NOW it's a completely different game. He was like "I KNOW and President Trump is a hero for bringing it all down." essentially. THAT SET ME OFF!!(.... just this moment he sent a second video) we had it out a bit and he basically dug his heels in and kept fucking that pig harder and harder. He told me to watch the first video below. I am in the process so as to understand the horse shit he's huffing and it's WORSE than I thought, much, much worse than I fucking thought. I had to take a break to get this out but intend to finish the video(s). I suggest that nobody else do so unless they need an emetic effect and desire insomnia. It would be FUNNY if not for the MILLIONS that hold it true with fanatical, dangerous, blind devotion. My brother is gone. A horrible THING is pretending to be him and trying to make ME like IT.

I have said before that the "Age of Reason" (merely a brief season really) is dead and that we live in the Neo-Mythic era wherein superstition and bullshit become exaggerated in power beyond all belief by technology and advanced Sophistry. Here's the proof of that below. I lost my brother to it a WHILE ago and barely noticed the changes. I'm so fucking tired.

Thanks, could you not spoil the plot of future Marvel Movies next time okay.

Also the "Age of Reason" relies on you to make it happen. It doesn't mean the rest of the insane fuckholes who run things are part of  it.
