    So I’m watching Nickelodeon with my kids and they run the same Commercial 4 straight times. Public service announcement…. “As we re enter life please maintain social distancing, avoid large gatherings and wear a mask in public”. Huh ???

    gotta be a programming glitch. Nobody is even recommending social distancing or masking at this point.

    seems like paranoia to me. Link to Nickelodeon currently recommending social distancing and masking? I suspect homeboy is watching a re-run on his DVR.

    Was so strange. They had kid actors I recognized doing it. Was during the movie hotel Transylvania. Just seemed so bizarre

    I’m assuming it was an old commercial. Was it on your DVR or possibly streamed? Or was it live TV?

    Ha. I’m 51 not 91. Def wasn’t streamed or DVR. We DVR Bluey and Peppa Pig. We were flipping through and stopped on it. I like Adam Sandler so we were just going to watch a few scenes. Not the biggest of deals just was strange. I just googled it and it looks like Nickelodeon will show the movie again today and on July 11. I’m tempted to record it and see if they run the same commercial.

    Keep in mind that about half of that expenditure in the US is public money. We spend enough government money, per capita, to provide universal covereage, we just choose to spend it inefficiently and not provide universal coverage.

    One of the few upsides of our recent Time of Hysteria is that incessant fears of putting chemicals into one’s bodies took a timeout. Typical vaccine ingredients …

    Not sure about the eat part, might substitute ‘breathe’ because we breathe in far more toxins than we ingest through food …
