Been out in public since the beggining bro, essentially my job to come in contact with strangers.. and company has done very little to properly address the risks
maybe im super immune now
Ultimately one has the responsibility and ability to prevent the transmission of this virus in most cases, staying at home or not. But people can be quick to judge these days.
Not to take away from our frontline workers, but the majority of the society seem to have forgotten about the people who have been going to work, providing essential services and keeping our world going since day one. People who may have their wage reduced, with little PPE support, receive no government subsidies or perks from businesses, or recognition from the public. Yet they are also the same ones who can be dealing directly with healthcare workers on a daily basis. Many real life heroes hide in plain sight, but deserve respect and appreciation all the same.
So amid the North American stats the most important stat we need to know is hospitalizations and critical cases. Are they the same percentage of hospitalization as before? Or are they now manageable as things remain open. No one seems to go out of their way to report those defined statistics.
I listened to part of the Joe Rogan and Bill Burr podcast today and joe basically said that if you’re wearing a mask you’re a bitch lol..

This is the first I've watched/listened to anything from him in ages and... wow. People actually listen to this guy on a regular basis?

Not so much since Coronavirus, no
He was never this bad, except on a few issues and when trying to be "funny". Now he has gone from humiliating Trump, to tolerating him, to now defending him. It's been insane to watch over the last 6 months (holy fuck coronavirus has been here for over 6 months)
Feels like it’s been forever to me. Worked 28/31 days in January and it just hasn’t stopped. Just finished another 11-consecutive day stint that included 2 doubles and another 4 overtime shifts.
June 26 can’t come fast enough. I work five 3-day weeks between then and the end of September.

What's Joe's angle anyways? Props to Bill for pushing back on him, most guests seem to be afraid to call him out on his bullshit, his online troll fans are real
I listen to clips of his podcast on YT from time to time, and he's really pushing this whole skepticism angle for a while now, it's very odd.
My assumption is a lot of it has to do with his involvement with the UFC, and his other investments that are likely being affected by the lock down itself? Everyone has an angle.

It absolutely started turning around when UFC was pushing hard to start doing shows again. He went from "Dana is gangsta for doing this, I'm just observing" to straight up becoming a denier.
Remember Dana is VERY close to trump, just not as publicly. He is a straight up MAGA prick and a Trump toadie. That might explain Joe's change on his Trump stance as well.
They are all probably in the same circle of friends... Joe's weird ultra conservative huntin' pals and Navy SEALS he hires as security. Totally different group from his comedy friends, who he probably hasn't been able to spend much time with aside from texts.
I mean to each their own, but this guy's reach is immense, and he has a large following of impressionable, confused young boys who worship him. The "Oprah for bros" joke is done to death, but it's pretty much true. He seems to be leaning more into the conservative side, with his "I'm actually very liberal" becoming more like pandering than actual truth.
I rarely listen anymore, going from almost never missing a show. There's someone who recaps each show on reddit, and it's been very useful in choosing which ones to skip. You can read the recap and know exactly how the 2-3 hours went. Saves a lot of time
I laughed out loud when Bill said “oh yah you’re really fuckin manly over there Joe with your open face holes. That’s a real man right there” hahaha fuck you Rogan, turned into such a sanctimonious prick

This is what I'm most concerned about. His young impressionable fans. My white nephews listen to his podcast, and I chat to younger guys in their early 20s at my gym that love his podcasts.
They all seem to parrot the same ideas -- Anti-political correctness, SJWs, how "left" universities are, transgender hyperbole, feminism sucks, men are being attacked, Trump isn't that bad, all of Joe's regular talking points.
My question to them is always the same, explain to me how these topics are the most important thing going on right now? How much have these topics directly affected you? Do you think these topics are more important than the economical and policy specific issues that are far more pernicious in your day-to-day life?
That's usually when the light turns on to some degree. It isn't a councidence that he surrounds himself with those creeps that call themselves the "Intellectual Dark Web", and why he pushes their agenda on a regular basis on his podcast. I've seen interviews where he will literally change the topic to whine about "Antifa" or how Berkeley is too lefty
Joe carries a lot of power and influence with his podcast, I just wished his younger followers were more keen to his agenda, and to not necessarily take this Fear Factor host's opinion as the gospel.
