You’re doing the right thing, and you’re a good person for it.

sweet thursday posted:I don't understand what herd immunity even has to do with it when the plan involves a bunch of people getting sick all at once. And having everyone get sick all at once is the real danger, not necessarily dying of corona Any doctor that is not a crank will tell you that it takes time to develop herd immunity and exposing an entire country to a virus that they have no natural immunity for is going to be a huge disaster When this is all over we need to put US/UK leaders on trial for negligent homicide

Considering how insanely anemic testing has been, chances are high that the infection has spread to a far greater degree than we know, you're better off at home until a week or two from now when symptoms will start appearing for current infections.

Don't know about everyone's at the bars and poo poo... at least where I am, downtown Montreal was loving deserted this saturday evening just passing through felt like a monday very late night. Every now and then seeing someone wearing a face mask as an occasional reminder that things are just not loving normal.

My wife and I got coffee and a quick bite to eat while our car was serviced today at a cafe. We opted to sit in the back corner far away from everyone and it seemed like the waitstaff was smart about keeping their distance. Other than that, grocery store, liquor store, home. But if you're going to bars and poo poo, especially if you're in a city with known cases, you're pretty loving dumb.

Except of course for the GW bridge, which will never ever not have traffic it seems.

Is going for a jog an acceptable form of social distancing? Running helps clear my head and will help pass the hours and days of any eventual quarantine, but I'm seeing some other countries not wanting people out of their homes unless absolutely necessary. I typically pass other people on the road but I rarely if ever interact with them.

Yes you can go for a jog. You can go outside, walk the dog, whatever. Just wash your hands / shower / change clothes / wash your clothes when you get home.

Rinkles posted:How did they do that? They literally stood like 5-6 feet away from us taking our orders and practically dropped our orders off, backed up and then asked if we needed anything else before walking away. Also everyone was wearing gloves. Hobo Clown posted:Is going for a jog an acceptable form of social distancing?

shovelbum posted:So everyone's out at the bars and poo poo, if this is a society level thing and I'm not high risk is there any reason to be a sad one man social distancing I went to Japan right as poo poo hit the fan there, I had a 10 hour layover in Seattle on the way home and decided against my original plan to spend time downtown and chose to isolate myself in a corner in the airport the entire time instead. Haven't left my house since returning home Sunday night. So I know at least I did what I could to stop spreading it, I've got a number of people in my life who are in the high risk demographic as well as my neighbourhood having a lot of retirees and I don't want to expose any of them.

amethystbliss posted:CDC is recommending closures of at least 8 weeks. I’m wondering if my kids will even go back. Graduation and senior prom are cancelled. I know it’s ultimately a good thing, but definitely bittersweet that my kid won’t experience that. His school serves breakfast and lunch. My sister can afford to feed her kids 3 meals a day, but there is a non-zero chance some of his classmates are going to go hungry. He's also only 4, so yeah. Walking germ-bomb at the best of time, and they're really not missing much. It just all seems so crazy

Handsome Ralph posted:Depends. If you're like running on a city street, probably not the best idea but if it's a trail or something similar, likely fine for now. it's not a miasma of disease blanketing the city, all you have to do is stay like 5-6' away from other people. imagine stretching your arms out and not being able to touch other people with their arms stretched out. if the number of people on the street is high enough that you can't keep distance from them, it's probably not a great environment for jogging in the first place. anyways the streets in my small city today were emptier than many nature trails I've walked

Yeah that's fair. I'm just used to running in DC where sometimes the sidewalk is pretty clear, other times it's crowded as hell.

If fuckin' Hochelaga grocery stores are going through panic buying mode, then Canada is definitely going through overcautious mode. Quebec premier officially forbad all hospital and elderly care center visits as of today, saturday 14th, and strongly urged anyone over 70 to stay home. e: Downtown Montreal was dead and deserted, usually this time of year and with this beautiful weather it would be full of teeming life just jumping on the opportunity of going out with near-spring weather and saturday night activity everywhere. It was appropriately apocalypse empty streets and sidewalks. Bronze Fonz fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Mar 15, 2020 |

We went to a party and when we got there we found out it had been cancelled and we didn't get the memo. However, our host theorized that since we were the only ones, the unacceptable large gathering had changed to an acceptable small gathering so we sat apart and made a dent in the two trays of brownies I had made. It was nice  The only mood altering chemical is chocolate, but there's a lot of it.

Staying at a hotel after picking up possible plague carrying foreigners from the airport. I might be doomed but at least I can pinch two rolls of TP before checkout. E: can also confirm Canadian cities less busy. Some popular bars are instituting 80% max capacity rules, periodically spraying down bathrooms with disinfectant and asking patrons not to share appetizers. Brave measures indeed.
