I don't know if that was directed at me but I live in Melbourne and wear a mask when I leave the house and have been for weeks. I wore one today while running.

More just what seems to be the general mood in my office building. There's plenty of talk about what the Victorian government should have done to avoid this, but not very much on what our government should do to stop the same from happening here.

Cool, gonna be in the purple zone any day now. Guernsey is where my dads cabin is and it is in the middle of nowhere, if I had to guess all those cases are from Cambridge, the big city down there. Also a lot of people come down for Salt Fork Lake and some weird huge dinoland or something, idk?

As I said up-thread, my wife works in a school system that's in a very affluent area. I have a $20 bet with her that it will last a maximum of 2 weeks. The instant any one of these incredibly coddled children test positive for COVID, there will be so much poo poo the superintendent has to deal with from the parents that the whole system will be shut down. Happened in Israel (except they did it for the right reasons), and it looks like it's happened elsewhere. 6-12 you could probably enforce masks, and social distancing. K-5? No loving way.

Late middle school and high school is a terrible, terrible plan because COVID spread is so much worse among kids older than 12 or so... and it's a horrid idea for K-5 too!

I'm in NH, one of two states where cases are still declining, and one that (so far) has been very fortunate compared to other states. But now indoor dining has resumed and Trump is flying in for a rally, bringing an army of maskless idiots who love to spit in each other's mouths for freedom. I finally started playing a couple (outdoor, socially distanced) gigs but this poo poo is all going to come to a screeching halt when cases shoot up again in 2-4 weeks. Sweet

I got this idea the other day, if we’re running out of freezer space, why not just use the walk in freezers at restaurants that are closed or went out of business? May as well put them to use

Also I live in south Texas and work at a hospital so I’m having a real good time watching number for up hugely lol

I'm talking about someone who got real sick with covid, got hospitalized, recovered--and then got it again and had to go through that whole course all over again. AKA what would be really worrisome. Not whether someone pops positive on a PCR test
Could this also be an artifact of infections still being relatively uncommon, and people who get hosed by the virus might be more cautious (or just plain infirm) afterwards? I guess anyone who did legit get hospitalized twice would make the news though, and law of large numbers being what it is, it probably would have happened by now if it could happen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In the mass casualty section of the emergency operations procedure manual the size of every refrigerated space in town is listed, includes every grocery store.

This was in hospital autopsy. Fun read.

My company has never put out a formalized plan for working from home, it's just been at our discretion.

Today they emailed everybody an excel file to fill out and list how much you're actually working from home. Everybody's worried they're going to cut back or force us back into the office at this rate.

Because surely right now is the right time to do this.

This has to be one of those boomer specific demands right? Like strong handshakes with eye contact or the concept of walking around in a suit giving your resume to businesses.

I did entire semesters online in college a long time ago. It was fantastic. poo poo, I even did some work-from-home courses to graduate early from Highschool in the early days of the internet and that poo poo was great even then.

It's because a lot of people can't go back to work while they have to watch their kids. School is both an education system and a childcare system.

Of course, the reason why it's closed is that it makes a great pipeline for transferring bacteria and viruses as anyone with young kids know.

OSHA: nah we good. don't die tho.


quote:

OSHA has issued only one citation for violations of workplace safety laws related to Covid-19, according to its own testimony to Congress, to a Georgia nursing home that failed to report that a staffer had been hospitalized. The lone citation is despite well-documented shortages of required personal protective equipment at hospitals and Covid-19 outbreaks at meatpacking plants.

HOW DOES THE IPHONE APP WORK?? I WILL SPAM ENDLESSLY EVERYWHERE AND DISREGARD ANY REPLIES
So I live in Alabama and our city made masks mandatory in public spaces starting this past Monday. Went to Target on Monday for my first grocery run in 3+ weeks because I don't trust the public not to be godawful and maybe now that more than 20% of them are wearing masks it'll be fine.

I'm in the bread aisle, exactly one row deep into the trip, and this woman ten feet from me pulls down her mask to sneeze three times all over the bread. Just fuckin casually contaminates hundreds of dollars worth of food staples. I'm wearing the same N95 mask I've had since mid-March. I grab what I need and get the gently caress out. Haven't been out in public since.

I cannot express in words how mad I am about every aspect of the American response to the pandemic.

if people aren’t too keen on using grocery store freezers I wonder if mass pyres would be better.

what’s the over/under on that one? Weeks? Months? Although I guess you need to worry about ash in the air, but hey that’s what the masks are for.
