Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

hi from one of those. I'm surprised we didn't get anything from the last wave of skiers a month or so ago but we seem to have dodged that bullet apart from a couple of people at fly-in lodges. masks are veeery slowly starting to happen. there was a big facebook argument between the town chud community and the hippies about masks. the hippies sort of won when someone pointed out that the chud grandmas who were getting pissy about masks were the people who could make and sell homemade ones so now a bunch of them are doing that and pushing people to wear them lol

definitely a lot of people who go into town twice a month anyway getting mad about only going into town twice a month though

turns out they do a lot if you're asymptomatic but the entire point of claiming they do nothing was to make sure people didn't all hoard the masks so the people who actually need them most in healthcare have enough of a supply, so it was done for the right reason.

they confer some droplet protection, as the virus ain't exactly airborn but it will hitch a ride in floaty wet bits

The ball cooking sperm devastation is absolutely accurate but not unique to COVID. Anything that gives ya a bigly fever will do it, it's just especially likely to come up with COVID because of how many cases involve a serious fever that is very difficult to break even temporarily

We wouldn't have anything like close to accurate numbers even if it was what we wanted as a culture more than anything else. With something like this you can only have a low ball estimate and then years later you go over mortality and ILI statistics and piece together something slightly more accurate

yah i found cloth masks on etsy but they were like just being added 3 days ago when i started ordering, i hope it catches on fast. someone my friend knows is in an ICU in vernon which like does not inspire confidence if there are cases there altho i suppose the further north the better, maybe its less worrying where you are

also try using the john hopkins arcgis dash to just see where the USA is in total death rankings world wide. there's no way to get the interface to show the US numbers alongside, say, italy (which is always listed to appear as top number of cases in the world at like 20k)

well sort of. they were already hoarded or gone as of like jan 15th well before it was publicly known it in america.

t's more funny that all the goons back in the last thread going "no no never wear masks. everyone is a completely 100% always fallible dumbass and cannot ever possibly ever use them propertly unless they've gone through 40 hours of training and if everything isn't done completely and titration-tier correct they will actually give you all diseases known to man INSTANTLY, and you will also get ebola. they can only make things worse because people are too dumb. masks will just make u look like a paranoid dweeb and hoo boy who wants to look like a dweeb??"

oh I'm fine, lotsa space. (Golden, so kind of a long way from anywhere else) there was/is a mini outbreak in Kelowna at a plant nursery among some mexican ag workers, everyone got real mad about foreigns importing disease for a little bit then it turned out they'd been here for >a month so definitely caught it locally. a very good ah! well. nevertheless, type of moment and most of the howlers went real quiet lol, there's still a few but it's only the absolutely brain poisoned ones

tbh people are taking it pretty seriously on the whole and even the chuds are behaving, between a quarter of town's population going back to australia pretty much overnight, a quarter of what was left getting laid off at the same time, and the hospital staff absolutely hammering the facebook messaging about how you really don't want to get a bunch of people sick in our tiny little hospital it was unavoidable that it wasn't some joke. helps that so many people left, it's real quiet.

they just don't wanna wear masks because they think they're big strong mountain folk and will look silly
