My work is open to 40% capacity inside, and while we get a few idiots that won't wear a mask most people seem to be social distancing and wearing masks

Just cut a hole in your mask where your mouth is. This way you can eat while still wearing it and protecting others.

People who say "reeeee" are so cool

I think you're missing the point here. People don't expect people to eat with a mask on, it's just a general complaint about places encouraging a maskless + gathering activity that people could do at home instead.

Maybe people should worry about themselves and not be so concerned about what others are doing. If people want to go out and eat they should be allowed and people who dont like it can stay at home. No one is forcing you to go eat out with others who arent as scared as you. Its sad that people think these small business restaurants should just be killed off because theyre scared.

When dealing with communicable diseases, being concerned about what others are doing is worrying about oneself.

Well how about you stay 6 feet away from them and wear your double mask. Then you dont have to worry about what theyre doing

They banned restaurant dining about 2 weeks ago in BC and it didn't really improve the situation at all. Actually it's gotten even worse. I don't think it's a good solution to be honest.

here's the thing...that kind of mindset heavily downplays the pandemic

you can't get out of a pandemic if some follow the rules and others don't

that's a half-ass effort that won't solve anything

It does though. The people who are too scared to go out get to stay at home and pretend like theyre saving lives while the people who are healthy and strong get to continue their normal lives and not completely tank the economy and kill off all the small businesses. The coronavirus doesnt have a 100% fatality rate. In fact its nowhere near that. Vaccines and multiple types of treatment are available. The hospitals were never overrun. Time to move on with our lives.

If you can figure out a way to ensure nobody comes within 6 feet of me that doesn't involve stabbity death (as tempting as that might be when dealing with social inept idiots who don't understand personal space), I'm all ears.

It worked pretty much perfectly here in NS back when we had our second wave in November/December, but at that point nearly all of our exposures were in bars/restaurants, so it was easily the most sensible thing to do (said second wave also peaked at 35 cases in one day as an extreme outlier, so we caught it very early). When exposures are more complex than that, it's going to have less of an impact, and even with our simpler situation, that measure was paired with things like fining everyone present at gatherings $1000, instead of just the hosts (which is honestly how it should always have gone, since fining only the hosts encouraged the largest parties possible).

It's also worth noting, though, that any measure taken isn't going to bear fruit at all for 10-14 days. Two weeks is enough time that, if it were going to help, it will have, but you should still expect things to continue getting worse before they get better, even if a measure is working. This thing has a lot of momentum. Even here, in-person dining was suspended for 5 weeks, largely because that 5-week period spanned Christmas and New Year's and those two holidays were expected to set us back further if restrictions were lifted, and was only ultimately relaxed because case numbers did what they were supposed to.

The coronavirus doesnt have a 100% fatality rate.

I really don't understand why people keep bringing this up as though it means anything. Almost nothing has a 100% fatality rate. Off-hand, the closest I can think of in the world of diseases is Naegleria fowleri infestation, in which an amoeba that normally lives in warmer freshwater decides to crawl into a person's nose and start munching on their brain. That's got a 97% mortality rate. Despite that, N. fowleri has killed a grand total of 144 people in the US. Between 1962 and 2019.

By comparison, Covid has killed 564,000 people in the US between 2020 and 2021 (*with* countermeasures). In terms of deaths per year, Covid is over 225,000 times more deadly than N. fowleri, despite having a mortality rate ~300 times lower. "But its mortality rate is so low!" you say? Mortality rate is only one piece of the puzzle. Communicability plays just as large a role in a disease's ability to rack up a body count, and Covid is - objectively - vastly more dangerous than many diseases with much higher mortality rates purely because of how communicable it is. No amount of "it's not 100% fatal!" is going to change that letting Covid spread unchecked is extremely dangerous. That's just obvious reality.

covid has not simply vanished it still exists and if wearing a mask is too much trouble for you then stay home

if some people wear masks and follow social distancing while others don't

then nothing changes

there haven't been enough people vaccinated for you to think "let's move on with our lives!"

The really annoying thing is that vaccinations are proceeding at a rate that means we're *really* close to being able to start getting back to normal. We just aren't there yet, and people acting like we are are only going to set that coveted point back even further and cost more lives in the mean time.

you can't have an economy or small businesses if everyone is infected or dead.

they very factually were, unfortunately, and it's very, very, very easily proven.

Its called taking personal responsibility for yourself which a lot of people just flat out refuse to do. You have the power to stay six feet away from people by moving away from others or asking them kindly to back away from you when they get too close. Its not everyone elses responsibility to protect you, its yours. Plus our world has been set up so you literally dont have to leave the house if you dont want to. Pretty much everything can be done remotely these days if youre that scared. Also if your only solution to keeping people six feet away from you involves stabbing them, then I suggest you go seek therapy immediately.

Well please feel free to prove me wrong. Remember that huge medical ship they sent to NYC that got sent back after a month or so because it wasnt getting used? Now there were some cities like Houston and Detroit were some of there hospitals got full or close to full but they were able to send them to other hospitals nearby. I would hardly call that being overrun.

It's axiomatically impossible to stay 6 feet away from somebody by asking them to back off when they get too close.

Except that's generally pretty unhealthy and is completely unnecessary if people stop trying to insist that the ongoing public health crisis shouldn't require any personal action on their part to solve. I can, in fact, go out and about quite safely here (including dining in restaurants) because people around here actually listened to public health guidelines from the outset and we've been able to get and keep our case numbers quite low. Those who refuse to listen are acting to prevent that state from being reached, and should therefore be treated like the antisocial garbage they have chosen to be.

"The hospital was full and they had to send patients elsewhere" is precisely what the phrase "the hospital is overrun" means. Like, there's no other possible interpretation for it. What on earth are you talking about?

I don't understand how moderators let it slide honestly, it's clearly mocking autistic persons. You can't even say autistic on this site without a stern warning but mimicking the screech is cool, even as an insult with the direct implication that you're calling the person autistic.
