Bruce Hussein Daddy posted:I was thinking today what my criteria was for "it's ok to go to a bar" and "it's ok to not wear a mask in the grocery store" etc etc and I couldn't come up with a good metric. The best I could do is < 5% state positive test rate, 14 day running average state decline, state Rt < 1. That doesn't seem good enough but idk what's better. There hasn't been a death in my province in 6 days. Still wearing a mask. I guess I'll stop when cases per month get close to zero both in my province and the adjacent areas. Once the canada/USplaguelands border opens up to tourists and cross-border shoppers everything is going to go to hell again. 2 years, maybe?

AceOfFlames posted:To add to this, I'm sorry if this makes me look like a naive idiot, but it just boggles me how people have previously been so wrong or OUTRIGHT LIED about the masks. My problem with this is who the gently caress are we supposed to trust? I don't want to be one of those people who "follows their gut". My gut is non-existent. Authority is the only reference I have. Multiple sources are how I determine what is real. How the gently caress does anyone deal with this? How do you know what is real if you have multiple contradictory sources of information and everyone has an agenda? How do you LIVE? Going to war on false pretense is one thing but manipulating science? How do you stop yourself from turning into an equivalent of a flat earther? Morbus posted:1. Distinguish between the actual science and the policy synthesized from it. Try to read and understand primary sources wherever possible. Try to bear in mind the agendas, biases, and competing interests of institutions putting out public policy. There is a wealth of information on when and how surgical masks, or N95s, are effective or ineffective and how to use them properly. They obviously aren't useless or else they wouldn't be used by health professionals. Great advice, thanks for posting it

Ended up saying F it and went to the gym tonight. I work in a call center with 800 people less than 1% of whom wear masks. Might as well kill some stress because I'm screwed either way. What kills me is we had the entirety of the site working from home until the head manager got pissy about attendance and yanked everyone back. This loving country man.

You should have to do 10 pistol squats and a planche push-up before you're allowed in a gym imho. If you can't you don't actually need the barbell that badly.

I'm sorry but I just can't exercise at home. My house is now meant to be my office, entertainment center and gym. And because I recently moved, never had to do DIY stuff because my parents always did it for me and my place is smaller, I live in a hellscape full of boxes and floor planks. It's like being in house arrest in a slum. EDIT: You Americans should also be grateful your houses are so big. Try quarantining in a 65 m2 apartment.

All you're doing at a gym is wasting energy, I don't get it. Imagine being so conflicted about wanting to needlessly waste energy you're still debating on what to do during a global pandemic.

If the world were a lego set, the year 2021 will be like the 2b2t minecraft server spawn area, which is a blown out crater for miles with every useful material pilfered far beyond that. Even out in the wilderness, fools with no masters will run around building dick shaped towers of dirt and vandalizing every former structure and setting evil traps for each other, because they have nothing better to do.

I only started going to the gym for the first time in my life in January this year. Now I'm supposed to do all this on my own without form check. And no I cannot watch a video because apparently I am so unused to moving my body properly that a big part of my PT's time is showing me "this is what keeping your back straight is"

Not to mention you only get so many heart beats and if you use them up by making your heart go fast you die sooner. Look at the guy who invented jogging, he was an extremely fit guy but one day his heart just booped out, he ran out of beats and that was that. Its why people who sleep a lot live so long, your heart rate crashes when you sleep to 1, maybe 2 beats a minute and so for those eight hours you maybe do the same number of beats you normally do in half a minute.

The choices are either I exercise and risk getting Covid or don't exercise, get fatter and potentially die of COVID harder. And again, I don't live in the US. I don't know if the Netherlands is being crazy because I have no WAY of knowing. I look outside and everyone is smiling, my coworkers are all so productive, everyone is on loving holiday and I am the guy who needs to "be more positive". I am losing my loving mind.
