    NYC is now in Stage 1 of re-opening.

    Don't fuck this up guys.

    There's even a PDF link on that page about protesting safely. The PDF appears to be dated yesterday (June 8th).

    ... but I want to share with you this guy's mask:

    New Zealand has also gone to Level 1 due to having no new cases in two weeks and zero active cases, period. We will probably be reopening our borders to Australia once they're in a similar position.

    Darwin is at stage 2, haven't tried to keep up to date with other parts of Australia all too much but think I saw some new cases popping up in Sydney or Victoria on the news.

    On Monday, the New York City Department of Health issued their guidance on safe sex during COVID. It's... interesting.

    And not in a politics way. Seriously -- just read it for the humor and the lewd bits. I'm particularly fond of the bit where they recommend that people experiment with glory holes in the name of safe sex:

    Of course, they recommend condoms two points later (the one between the two items being headlined "Masturbate together"), but still.

    Oh, and two items before that is about how rimming might spread the virus.

    So, yeah, have fun. Read. Enjoy. Laugh.

    And remember Rule 8.

    You're leaving out the item before that bit:

    So, yeah, the government is now giving women advice on how to wash their dildos.

    I know! This is comedy gold all throughout. I am saving this, printing it out, and using it to decorate my Christmas tree if I ever put one up again. This is just the best.

    Hey, the guideline is also saying that if you're a sex worker, perhaps alternatives like cybersex and sexting are much safer alternatives.

    This isn't comedy gold, this is platinum! :D

    • Rule 8 - No Politics
    Ah, more attempts at controlling culture and society of NYC. Because of course the mayor can't keep his grubby fingers out of peoples' bedrooms. Hey, since protests magically don't cause corona infections anymore, can we start an orgy on the time square to protest the Minneapolis case?

    "Women".

    Also, this is proof that we can have nice things, and the government even has advice about how to wash them.

    Lesson from the quarantine: if you want people to read your boring government guideline doc, make it hilarious.

    Slightly worried about a second potential wave here in Australia, we're almost out of the woods but an infected individual decided to join in on one of the protests and may have infected people there so...
    I'm worried that the other planned protests might cause another wave.

    The risk should be lessened considerably by how under control we've got it already, but considering we already have had an infection risk at one of these rallies it feels like the risk is still way too high.

    I've read enough doujins to know where this is going.

    It's nice to see that NYC is so... progressively kinky? I mean, most city governments don't seem to endorse glory holes.

    I found out today that sister-in-law -- the one Mom's been regularly visiting -- just tested positive for COVID. I, meanwhile, just had to make a cardiologist's appointment due to an episode of sorts, and am showing what may be early symptoms.

    ... fucking joy.

    In other news, the entire affair has caused me to (finally) write a postmortem on one of my earlier stories. This should give you some idea of the amount of worldbuilding I tend to do for them... among other things. DoDQ actually had more, not that I ever got to half of the stuff I had planned.

    I may do a postmortem of that one as well, although doing that will have to wait for tomorrow at the earliest.

    And then there's the quest that I've actually been working on at the moment...

    This is apparently happening. Yes, a music festival explicitly dedicated to spreading the virus is scheduled in Wisconsin.

    ... FML.

    Update on the Australia situation:
    Pretty much every state is clear now.
    Except Victoria which is spiking hard, and has had the army called in.

    Media is saying that they're all cases from family gatherings, but this is the state where an infected person joined in with the protesters as I mentioned last post and some reports are saying that two more individuals linked to the protests have been confirmed as infected.

    I'm concerned to say the least, there was a lot of people in close contact during those protests. I'm predicting an even sharper spike in about a weeks time.

    Edit: Spoke too soon, two cases in a Sydney school and the toilet paper hoarding has revved back up again.

    If they don't open the festival with such a song, are they even trying?

    I suspect they'll be starting with this. This is also a possibility. So are this and this. Maybe they'll pick this one... or this one, which is somewhat off, but also quite appropriate in parts. Hell, they could even start with this.

    Seriously, you're the one not trying anywhere near hard enough. :p
