This has made me strongly consider getting a townhome style apartment next and getting a rack. I always assumed being in a high rise with a gym on the first floor was the ultimate living setup, but haha it sure sucks in a pandemic when the gym is closed and the hallways are unventilated SARS Jr. traps.

Townhouse is a really pro form of house bc maintenance is minimal, soundproofing is good, and vertical rectangle leads to really good use of space

My union has weirdly the opposite problem that a lot of the employers are trying to isolate people at work until the pandemic is completely over which is also completely insane

My stepdad both believes this conspiracy theory and thinks any attempt to slow the spread of the pandemic is tyranny but also doesn't disagree that gloves and masks & distancing work. He simultaneously believes this is a Chinese bioweapon AND attempts to avoid catching the virus are for liberal crybabies. But like he's really anti-China so idk why he's cooperating with them on this.

Folks at their jobs bitch and moan about wearing PPE and will try to get away without wearing it if they can, especially when it comes to respiratory protection. I’ve seen this anywhere from maker spaces to science startups to foundries.

If you can’t see it in the air, and it isn’t immediately hurting your lungs in a way that you take note of, it can’t hurt you! This idea works for acids, or pollution, or smoking, or a virus. I’ve also found that, in my personal experience, men are worse about this and many feel emasculated for some reason by wearing respirators or masks.

Morons understand the immediate consequences of dropping heavy things on their toes and will wear generally wear steel toe boots or other obvious stuff like gloves without too much fuss.
