Holy fuck I’ve never seen Reykjavik this void of foreigners in August ever in my life

And there probably won’t be much in the way of tourism for a long time

Thank you. A longer version, from a thread I created (Thermodolia recommended me to move it to here):

Drat. The protection of the amazing song wore off ?

But IF those immigrants are responsible, execution seems quite reasonable.

What is the matter with you? *** Warned for trolling. ***

Nearly 43,000 cases over here.

Nearly 43,000 cases over here.

Yeah, we’re at double your number at the moment.

But do you also have twice the people's total nonchalance?

This months news without the bullshit: COVID-19 is still shit and 600,000+ dead

Maybe we can reach the anti-maskers and anti-lockdown people if we compare those numbers to something relatable. Tell them 200 9/11's worth of people have died. That's almost one 9/11 every single day since January 1st.

Who is Abaddon ?

I would go with Trump but thats insulting to Abaddon. And doesnt tie into Vietnam either.

Perhaps Bolsonaro?

Good, tired of pesky tourists always getting in my way. And they walk so fucking slow. Come on people, I'm gay and I have places to be.

I guess it demonstrates just how flimsy Tertiary Industries are that they cannot survive six months of reduced revenues.

"Yeah, so my lungs are like, fucking dying right now, but I don't think it's COVID, probably just mold from my Presidential palace."

Fucking Bolsonaro, man. Every time someone asks me if I can name someone more ridiculous than Trump, he's my go to.

My university held its graduation ceremony today for spring semester graduates.

Those degrees won't really help them when they die from COVID after catching it at the ceremony...

No social distancing or anything?

My sister recently had her high school graduation ceremony and it was socially distanced and masks were required.

They were supposed to enforce social distancing and masks. But from the pictures I've seen it looked like very few were social distancing.

This is also the same university that tried to cover up statutory rape, just so you're aware.

Ah, so COVID is just chump change.

Pretty much. They're willing to let people die so long as they get their money.

They've already made me pay the tuition rates for traditional classes when they aren't even sure if it's feasible to hold in-person classes. They've also made me pay full housing for my on-campus apartment when there's a chance they may make everyone move out a month into the semester.

But what's a little student debt and possibly catching a life threatening disease to a piece of paper that says I know how to use a computer?

Not reduced. Almost zero. Try telling a farmer he's missing a whole harzesting season, or a factory that it will have nearly zero output for six months. It ain't pretty for any industry

Has internal travel been cut off in most of the world?

Will it go the same way as remdesivir, ie America buying up every single stock?

Yeah, big problem with literally anything about the Trump administration is that you can't trust a word ANYBODY says because it's quite painfully obvious Trump and his cronies ONLY care about optics and not about actual results unless it's one of Trump's big stupid campaign promises like the stupid wall nobody except weirdo racist anti-immigrants want for no good reason, and sadly that includes Fauci, especially now after Trump and whoever the fuck keeps trying to help discredit Fauci are putting the screw to him and his boss.

Literally everybody in this administration can be potentially compromised, even the good guys.

Me, I'm not holding my breath until there is an actual vaccine... And that of course leaves out how it's going to be distributed in this climate of Martin Shkreli's and "entrepreneurs" (read: scalpers).
