central dogma posted:People in this very thread technically aren't taking it seriously enough. And none of them are chuds. Every page there's someone saying they had to go to the grocery or hardware store. There's still risk of transmission with a cloth mask, and I doubt their their need to go to the hardware store in person was worth the risk, nor that their need was special enough to outweigh anyone else's need who also chose to go to the store. We're going to have to wait until people in dumb countries all know someone who has either died from, or been nearly killed by Covid before they start to take social distancing seriously. And even then, given their financial situation, (like we are already seeing) they might not be able to do it given the economy needs the blood of the poor to function.

I Was The Fury posted:If covid had a 50% fatality rate we would still have pro-disease/anti-vax protests, and would still have people crying about how more people will commit suicide than will ever die from disease if shareholders lose even a fraction of a cent. 50% is a civilization changer. Nobody would be talking about anything, because the internet would go down. It wouldn't be fixed because the power plants would be offline. People wont be learning power plant OJT because there's no gas making it to the gas pumps, which don't work because there's no electricity. And people aren't rigging manual gas pumps because they're too busy trying to procure food, because it aint gettin delivered to walmart.

Work sent me a box of 50 N95 masks and 2 boxes of nitrile gloves for use over the next 4 months when travel opens back up again and I can go back to flying all over the country. They're also sending a box of cloth masks. Florida update: pools at my condo complex were packed full yesterday. Plenty of old and younger people gathering with no masks throughout. 2 of my wife's coworkers (all WFH) went to the beach yesterday near Cocoa. The first one arrived at 9am, the second around 10am and said there was no parking to be had. Beach was also packed full of people. Went to Publix on saturday and it was fully stocked with meats. All employees were wearing masks and gloves (finally!) and ~67% of people were wearing masks of some sort. People were relatively polite. A friend was able to get the PPP loan and is opening their small restaurant later this week while attempting the 25% capacity as apparently they have several people asking on social media to open it up. Florida's number go up for sure.

What we should aim for is minimizing risks, being informed and transparent about numbers and risks, being responsible. yeah, im starting to consider visiting my mum. i'll stay in the garden and chat to her basically as i don't see the risk of that. i was considering sleeping in her summer house too as i haven't done an overnight bike trip for months and i'm getting itchy but want to do something which is responsible.

Nearly every single grocery store and big box retail like Target/Walmart has required their employees to wear masks and gloves for over a month now here in Ohio. But uh, I guess Florida is just that insane and no one cares in your godawful state. Lol.

I think this will self regulate. Most businesses can't survive 50% or 25% revenue, not a sustainable model. As stubborn as a lot of folks seem to be, operating a loss for months to prove a point isn't really feasible thankfully. Also siding with history and all the experts saying "hey idiots second wave much"...thinking this year will be a return to the normal at any point is full-on delusional. Hard to fault people for losing it in various ways trying to wrap their heads around that...

You think it will self regulate, then state businesses can't survive, then state you're thankful for them operating at a loss like that. After that I think you said you don't think this year will be normal, if I can parse that, and then finish with a solemn nod to "people be crazy, bro." What?

I went to Home Depot this morning and got to the front of the line and some snot nosed socialist antifa punk told me I couldn’t come inside unless I was wearing a mask and I slapped him across the face with my American flag handkerchief and then stood on top of a nearby Char-Griller Smokin' Champ Charcoal Grill and shouted “Is this America or communist China we don’t have to wear no masks” and everyone standing in line cheered and the owner of the store came out and said “I’m sorry sir you’re right that was a bad thing we did I would like to give you a John Deere E120 42 in. 20 HP V-Twin Gas Hydrostatic Lawn Tractor as an apology.”

So, the 50% or 25% occupancy rules are based off of the building's occupancy limit set by the fire marshalls right? How often do these businesses get close to hitting occupancy limit in normal conditions? Does a 25-50% limit actually mean fewer people in the store/restaurant or are there a significant number of businesses that routinely operate at this level of capacity anyway?

The Ferret King posted:So, the 50% or 25% occupancy rules are based off of the building's occupancy limit set by the fire marshalls right? 25-50% limit definitely puts most restaurants and bars out of business. The average little restaurant / coffee shop / bar where I live operates on a 1-3% margin.

Huggybear posted:I asked a boomer to move back in a grocery lineup yesterday because he was breathing down my neck, except with a mask on, and he said he didn't have to, he had a mask - but ample room to be two meters behind me. I reminded him that the municipal, provincial and federal guidelines instituted social distancing but not mask wearing and he replied "gently caress off and go back to your computer, nerd" Our retail stores have sticky-tape-lines on the floor in 2m distance - pretty sure, just casually swinging your arms would get you applause instead of a conviction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZSoJDUD_bU

poverty goat posted:Even the black death probably didn't hit 50%. It's usually estimated at half that. at the peak of the Antonine plague around 170'ish AD, estimates of 5000 people a day died in the city of Rome itself. Not the provinces, not the whole of the Empire. Just in the city. 5000 corpses a day before modern refrigeration or transportation means to even get them OUT of the city. 33%+ death rates across parts of the empire as a whole.
