marioandsonic Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I'm not feeling well, but I'm pretty certain that I'm just getting a cold. This tends to happen to me this time of year when the weather starts to get cold. And all of the stress and worrying about the election I'm sure isn't helping...

We're doing about 1k new cases a day and they want to reopen this weekend the same places they closed for causing 43% of the spreading when they were initially shutdown at 1/3-1/2 the case count we have now. FFS. With shopping and christmas around the corner we're so heading for a crazy spike and a massive lockdown early next year (if a vaccine is not on the near horizon).

Especially the Peel region and their amount of cases. I’m working up 2-3 times a week and I can easily see why it’s happening. The store employees wear their masks but some not over the nose and the back rooms seem almost free reign to do whatever they want. A good portion of the time they are maskless. Then you have these stores near high schools and kids grabbing whatever. Then you see 10 of them outside, huddle together, no masks and thinking nothing of it. My cousin said they should give us a 1 week notice to get whatever shit we need for a 2 week ‘you don’t go anywhere’ lockdown. Make delivery service for groceries a mandatory service and keep a majority of the public home to quash the virus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The place where I work in California is trying to send kids back in December and none of the teachers support the district's plan but I think the district is just planning on saying tough shit and giving teachers no input. Teachers are primarily concerned about the start date and the rising cases across the United States. Then there are a bunch of problems with the schedule that teachers don't like.

I recently saw the COVID issues with six feet spacing for indoor dining/25% capacity, as some states have, compared to cigarettes. A cigarette would fill up the dining room with smellable smoke, just like coronavirus does via breath aerosols. This seems like a good comparison for outdoor dining (or just sitting close to people you don't live with maskless while outside) too. It's not as bad as being inside while they're smoking the cigarette, but you still probably wouldn't want to be sitting across the table from someone smoking a cigarette, and might be able to smell one from six feet away too. Now imagine if you're outside ringed by people sitting six feet away smoking a cigarette. Just because it's less bad doesn't mean it's not bad.

I think in PA you do it through your insurance plan. In NJ, the state pays for it and you just make an appointment at a testing center.

SimpleG Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 So I have a minor sore throat and a massive ear ache . No one will see me for the ear ache until I go thru a COVID test and there are no available quick tests and normal testing is running 6+ days for results. I know it’s necessary but god forbid this country do something right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Prime Minister Frederiksen described the situation as "very, very serious". Danish police and army personnel will help to carry out the mass cull. Ms Frederiksen cited a government report which said the mutated virus had been found to weaken the body's ability to form antibodies, potentially making the current vaccines under development for Covid-19 ineffective.

silentbob Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I’m sort of with the player on this one. He spent more then enough time on the bench or pre-game warmups with others throughout the day. So a few hours of exposure was already there, so I’m ok with him spending a few more minutes for their moment of glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
