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

being rural as gently caress is awesome right now (lots of space to recreate, only two confirmed cases in a hundred mile radius) but everyone is bracing for the inevitable

our icu capacity is functionally zero, there’s very little communication from the health department, and the hospitals are getting guidance they expect to have a delayed wave here. very old, vulnerable populations in these small towns, so even the local chuds are taking it pretty seriously afaict.

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

oh nice, thats where i got the masks from. friends in kamloops

yah honestly that whole mountain folk thing is what worries me its super easy to ignore a dry cough and i did it for days. but im shut in w/grocery delivery and on and on. you guys are out and about. before you know it theres a dozen sick and then lord knows

same pretty much except the entire town runs off one facebook group and the local hospital doctors commandeered the sticky at the top of it to tell people to stop being idiots and keep the gently caress away from each other, and write a huge post every day basically interpreting the provincial health peoples' announcement as far as what it means for here

which...seemed to help an absolute shitload, actually? I guess you gotta reach those people somehow and if a classified ad group is it, it's it

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

i dunno. i really hope itll be easier up there for you guys

I work at a company that recently retooled a t-shirt production factory in Central America to produce cloth masks instead. it's ramping up now and expected to hit 2.5 million masks per week soon

I read some thing in the epstien thread that was saying the military/CDC/whatever has basically been practicing for "some novel virus out of china" or "domestic bioweapon release" since like 2001 and every time they do it they just assume everything in the USA goes to total poo poo, we end up with no PPE, our hospitals fail and then they p much suspend civil rights and institute martial law or something. It's sorta conspiracy like but I guess if you know there's no way our healthcare/industry is prepared for stuff then I guess all you can do is practice for society going to total poo poo. Called "Dark winter". Maybe some right winger blog?

i might be misreading into it but i'm pretty sure the 4500 deaths was because the wall street journal recorded the number of total deaths in the US at 8pm eastern last night and then again at 8pm earlier tonight. what happened yesterday was that new york had went back and reported all the people with a doctor's diagnosis as covid who died of covid symptoms as having died of covid, when previously they were only including people that died of covid symptoms that also had a positive test result for covid, but because tests were so limited, people that were clearly covid cases weren't always being tested, so clear covid cases that didn't get tested then died of covid symptoms weren't counted, and then yesterday new york state finally caught up and back-dated a bunch of deaths. only a little more than half were actually from yesterday.
