Went into 5 stores today after the new mandatory mask mandate. Tim Hortons, Sobeys (groceries), Dollar Store, Circle K and a dispensary.

Only one of them were enforcing masks and that was the dispensary. If you didn't have a mask then they gave you one. However in the other 4 places there were multiple people without masks.

"if there was a vaccine it would be even less than the flu"
I mean...

They're not wrong?

That's kind of the point of getting a vaccine made?

Hey guys let's just say you're in an argument with someone that is denying the severity of Covid with things like "just the flu" "if there was a vaccine it would be even less than the flu" and "the cases are only looking so bad because we're testing more"

What statistics, numbers, and just basic things can you point out to dismantle the claim and try to get it through their head?

I'm just wondering cause I've sorta found myself in that situation.

Arguing with him is exposing you to possible coronavirus infection. Are you taking it serious?

Costco employee told me that wearing n95 wasnt allowed today. Meanwhile many of their own employees didnt even have their fucking mask covering their nose.

Thats what the employee told me, was saying that because it had a valve it wasnt acceptable. Meanwhile half of their employees had their mask around their chin breathing through their nose and half the customers only had a bandana. I guess next time i have to go i will just cover it up with a bandana or something.

Costco's has stuff I like - in my case pirogi, basil pesto, lox with honey mustard, tzaziki - and a decent selection of other stuff.

I will try to remember to bring a bandanna the next time I go.

Damn I never heard of that. I wear an N95 with the valve whenever Im out shopping. You would think common sense tells you theyre more effective than the cloth masks people wear, or the oversized surgical masks.

Yeah, I forget if I posted it here or not but Ive been seeing these posts circulating amongst my Facebook friends. Its particularly maddening that people genuinely believe this because I had to wait 10 days to get my results and that was after hounding them (CVS) to get it.

the nation as a whole has to get the days down to maybe half or better. 10 is too long.
too risky to not know if one is carrying the virus. maybe spare another from such a horrible fate.

To be fair, treatment has improved and there's not a ventilator shortage anymore. The death rate, while increasing in recent weeks, is nowhere near as bad as it was in March/April.

Is there even any issues with enough PPE for hospital workers and the general public? Mask wearing seems very high in my area so I feel very comfortable doing things like going to the store.

It just seems like am awful lot has changed since March/April. The infection numbers are much higher, but we are much better built to handle it.

Just think of where we'd be if everyone wore masks and practiced social distancing.

Everyone was braced for second waves, especially as countries opened back up more, so I don't think anyone is really shocked.

Decide for yourself whether faster, less accurate testing of everyone on campus is going to work

Link from above article concluding that people are infectious 1.8 days before symptoms.

My college is relying on one test for students before they arrive for classes and then taking a survey every day in order to enter buildings

This seems very ill advised considering you don't have to have obvious symptoms to spread it

I'm going to a wedding this weekend too. It's my girlfriend's friend so I'm being dragged into it. My girlfriend doesn't like the idea either. We will stay for as little as we have to.

You rent the hall a year in advance and arrange to have the invites printed a long time in advance as well. Maybe if POTUS was helping us regular folk deal with the pandemic there would be useful advice on weddings.

Also most wedding venues are run by greedy fuckfaces who won't refund a damn penny due to the pandemic.

At least for four of my friends who have had to have half-capacity weddings they dropped over 10k on at separate venues this year

I think she and I both agree it's pretty selfish and frustrating. I know they considered postponing at one point but it seems like they're all in now. I want to bring up the idea of just going to the ceremony, which is outside, and skipping the indoor reception afterwards. It sucks cause we haven't seen them in a while but it's just not safe to be around so many people.

We both feel like shit about it, either way.
