*Stay Home* advice even a tRump Licking Gun Humper can't argue with

Where the fuck is Koch Industries in all of this? They make Brawny, Angel Soft, Mardi Gras, Quilted

Northern, Dixie, Sparkle, and other PAPER PRODUCTS and make $billions.

How much of a stretch could it possibly be for them to MAKE PROPER PAPER MASKS for Americans to use for their own personal safety?

Isn't the name "KOCH" supposed to be synonymous with rock-ribbed, All American He-Man patriotism?

They should be doing this RIGHT NOW, with no need for any kind of order from the War-Time Orange Anal Wart.

COVID-19 also attacks YOUR TEETH, apparently. I've been very lucky with my teeth, I'm 68 and have

only had ONE cavity/filling in my entire life. Probably because, when I was a little kid, I hated going to the dentist and I asked him "what can I do to never come here again?" He laughed and told me, "brush and floss 3 times a day" and that is exactly what I've done ever since. I remember the look on my parents' faces when I demanded dental floss at the grocery store. I was 8 years old.

So...yesterday I had an emergency extraction of a broken tooth, left rear molar, in fact, the only tooth I have with a filling. I had gone to the grocery store early (senior hours) and had picked up a bag of Doritos. When I got home, hungry from no breakfast yet, I decide to have a chip or 2. I put one in my mouth, bit down, and then a rifle shot of pain through my jaw and gum. I though that a sharp corner of the Dorito had pierced my gum or something, but after inspecting it in the mirror, I could see the tooth was cracked in half, I could actually move either half of it, although that hurt like hell.

I couldn't believe it, my teeth have always been a point of private pride for me, I have artificial lenses in both eyes AND a total hip replacement, but I though my teeth were bulletproof.

Luckily my dentist was open on Saturday, for emergencies only. (Right no in Los Angeles county at least, only emergency dental work can be done). They made an instant appointment for me, and 2 hours later I had the extraction, then a freaking bone graft in my jaw, a membrane covering the empty socket and everything sutured up.

So I asked the dentist, how could this happen? How could a Dorito break my tooth? She told me the Dorito didn't do it, but, indirectly, COVID-19 did. She said they have had an unprecedented spike in broken teeth like mine since the pandemic began, people (especially those already prone to it) are intensely clenching their teeth and grinding their teeth due to stress from anxiety over what's happening. She's never seen anything like it.

And I remembered, while sitting in the waiting room for only 10 minutes, the lady at the desk had taken 2 phone calls and I heard only her side of the conversation, but they both went :"When did you break your tooth? You say it was the middle of the night last night?".

My dentist recommended that I buy a Night Guard thing as soon as my mouth heals a bit, and she said it wouldn't be bad if lots of people feeling stressed out bought them too, because people can wind up breaking more than one tooth this way.

So, it's just anecdotal evidence, but I think it shows there are side effects to Covid-19 that we couldn't have imagined before.

Oh and, I've been self quarantined for 12 days, doctor's orders(for 30 days at least), and this was the first time I've had any interaction with people without a mask over my mouth. I can tell you it was scary to have 2 people only inches away from my mouth for 2 hours, I almost felt like*what the hell good was my quarantine*???

Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia governors approve KKK masks as face covers during this minor flu event

"It was the only way to get these peckerwoods to actually wear something" they stated in a joint press conference. "alternatively, we highly recommend Confederate flags wrapped around your mouth and nose."

None of the governors would say whether they intended to immediately begin wearing their hoods, but one noted "my great grandiddy's hood is right up on the shelf in the hall closet, sparkling white and ready to go".

Yeah, it's , or is it? I'm born and raised in Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and Georgia, so I'm entitled to tell it like it STILL is.

Is anybody here a victim of Assembly Bill 5? Anybody have any idea how I can apply for unemployment

or ANYTHING to help me through this stuff?

I've been an independent contractor for 15 years, in December I was forced by this stupid law to become a business, and now I have no idea how to proceed. I can't find anything on the EDD site to help me, and I checked this morning on the "loans" that Mnuchin was bragging about yesterday, BofA says that the only way I can get a loan is to submit detailed payroll information, I have no payroll, I'm a sole proprietor...

Any help will be hugely appreciated. Stay safe everyone!

Telling us to wear absolutely useless masks from scarves and t-shirts is like telling us to buy toy

guns at the Dollar Store to protect our homes.

We supposedly have "the greatest economy in history" but we can't make usable effective masks!?!? All we can do is tell people to wear things THAT DON'T EXIST?

It's a fucking joke.

KOCH INDUSTRIES makes billions making Brawny, Angel Soft, Mardi Gras, Quilted Northern, Dixie, Sparkle, BUT THEY CAN'T MAKE MASKS?????

So it's the "NOWHERE VIRUS". Cuz tRump said 20 times today "it came out of nowhere".
