unpacked robinhood posted:Will someone explain why people in Tennessee wait in line around a building for fast food? Same thing here in Indiana. Since schools were let out on 3/13, I pretty much only leave the house in a car once a week for curbside grocery pick up. Every time, every fast food place I pass on the way is wrapped around the building and I don't get it either. With most of the workers being under 25, most would be asymptomatic if they had it and then they're folding your burrito or slinging lettuce onto your Big Macs with the same hands they're coughing into and also the same ones they didn't wash after their last poo poo. The Facebook page for the addition I live in is constant talk not only about the food trucks they keep bringing in so homeowners can all congregate around the clubhouse like a bunch of idiots, but also for the various food delivery services. Now, not only do you have some high school kid coughing on your food during prep, now you add another possible source with the DoorDash driver.

Lasca posted:They did cut the number of passenger sailings in half which has (not)surprisingly led to a lot of full ferries. For the past week it's been 80% full by 9am for the 11:00. That's percentage is just for cars/trucks IIRC. Walk-ons basically don't count towards that, though maybe they do these days with half the number of sailings. Jinxie Monroe posted:'sup island buddy. Unfortunately BC Ferries was still held to Transport Canada's get out of your car thing so all those people got to crowd into the shared spaces. Apparently an exemption is now in the works. I could swear that's only if you're in the lower car/truck decks though since there's no access in emergency except via the stairs. I've slept in my car repeatedly on the upper car decks on the Tsawwassen Swartz-Bay run, and no one cared. That said, it'd be nice for the truckers to avoid being on deck during this time. Jinxie Monroe posted:The conspiracy people seem to be out in force, I got into a big fight on a friend's facebook update about whether it's possible that the govt is just faking all this to inject rfid chips into people under the guise of a "vaccine". Also for some reason they are going to wait 18 months and keep people in isolation until then. I feel very lucky that I've kept my parents mostly off facebook (mom has an unused account, never helped my dad sign up as he gets enough "fwd:fwd:fwd:" junk from his old college friends,) and so they've been taking it very, very seriously and staying in. However, it's a bit more a mixed bag with the in-laws thanks to Fox News, some of whom even traveled to Hawaii in March for vacation, only to have Trudeau say "get your asses back here ASAP" two days after arriving.

Grocery stores are out of a lot of things so people need to find food elsewhere. Also the type of people who eat high octane garbage from grocery stores can't even find that as other people hoard and fill their freezers with bagel bites and pizza rolls. Now the easiest/only option to get salty process garbage and feed those cravings is fast food. Why is this so hard for goons to process. You'd think this would be the one demographic that gets the need to slam down 5,000 calories of fat covered in ranch.

There's a lot of metropolises that rely heavily on mass transit all over the world, and so far only New York has turned into a complete shitstorm. Tokyo trains were packed when I was there in early March, and have stayed packed, albeit not a busy as normal but still really busy. Millions of people pass through the busiest stations each day, and so far there hasn't been hundreds of deaths per day there. If conditions were the same as New York we should be seeing 1000+ deaths per day there. But more than half of people wear masks while in public, I saw workers sanitizing surfaces like handrails and ticket counters constantly. The trains are immaculately clean. The subways underground don't smell stagnant and stale so they probably have good air circulation. Sanitation makes a massive difference.

Der Shovel posted:I saw two N95 masks at the store today. One was being worn by an EXTREMELY fat man and he had it kind of perched on/under his chin at kind of a 45 angle outward so it was like he had a scoop under his mouth. Whelp that's what happens when you're so busy telling people masks "aren't effective" so please don't buy them so we can that you don't spend the time teaching people to properly wear them. I mean sure it'd still happen but at least you'd see less of it.

Dread Head posted:I think they actually relaxed that rule. I know someone who took a ferry about a week ago and they said everyone was just in their cars. Nothing is open on the passenger decks anyways and if you sit up there you can't move seats etc. They recently changed this for the Orient ferry on Long Island as well. It used to be mandatory to leave your car and go topside during transit, but now they're telling travelers to stay in their cars and not get out for anything.

bob dobbs is dead posted:a material number of americans cant cook at all It isn't just Americans. I know a handful of functional adults who have important jobs and are 100% incapable of cooking, or doing anything really, in a kitchen. Their cupboards are full of chips and unused baking stuff/ spices, their fridges are full of sauces and leftover fast food.

Famethrowa posted:I doubt that your intense stomach acid and saliva is a vector for corvid. more likely you'd get sick from touching the food then touching a mucus membrane, or breathing the air from a food service worker. I am not an expert but my concern is more that viral particles are being delivered to your mouth and throat, locations that this coronavirus is commonly showing up in. The commonly provided medical advice advice is "don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth" Articles like this one have a seemingly inconsistent message as they say that there's no proof that you can get infected from contaminated food but also that surface transmission is a thing and you should treat delivery containers like they're radioactive waste. It even has the eyes, nose, and mouth line. Like, what? Contaminated hands shouldn't touch my mouth but contaminated food is okay?

I got one right after I had pneumonia a couple of years ago because when I finally went to the doctor after being sick for like 4 weeks my O2 saturation was only 73 which is extremely dangerous. I had no clue, I even went to Mexico City during it, thinking it was just a bad chest cold. I like having it around so I can make sure I never put myself in that situation again.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ has a sortable deaths per million column. Man San Marino has 1k per mill and is still climbing. They were pretty early, and are pretty densely populated, hopefully most places will do better than that..

The commonly provided medical advice advice is "don't touch your eyes, nose, or mouth" My interpretation was always that salvia holds and contains viral loads, but it's not as worrisome since it drains to your stomach. On the flipside, you don't want to touch your mouth because can transfer it to sensitive mucus membranes on yourself or other people.

The Modern Leper posted:So should I just buy a pulse oximeter at this point? Or is asking that just an iteration on the "should I buy a mouth cover" question? Probably not. They're useful in the abstract, but nowhere near as useful as a basic thermometer. If you have a temperature and trouble breathing, you shouldn't be sitting around with a pulse oximeter trying to figure out if it's really serious; you should be getting whatever hospital care is available in your community. Also, they're overpriced right now, with no guarantee of any kind of quality. There's a lot of incentive to turn out crappy, uncalibrated finger clips with red LEDs in them on Amazon at $30-40 a pop. Maybe they'll read 85 SpO2 on a healthy marathon runner; maybe they'll keep it pegged at 100 on someone who's passing out because they can't get enough oxygen to their brain. The seller doesn't care; on the off chance they get caught, they'll just shut down "GLBORT Oximeters" and open up the new, totally reliable "SPORTSKY Oximeters." Alan Smithee posted:anyone got a good write up on replicating 3m mask filters? You can't do it at home. The key part is the filter medium, which needs to be made in a specialized factory. If you could build a DIY substitute that worked anywhere near as well, people would be doing everything they could to turn household objects into PPE for healthcare workers.
