Fantastic news from world virus epicenter Florida! My school district just announced we'd be moving forward with expanding school athletic practices! Now "small groups" (9 or less) can toss balls back and forth with each other! This is because if one of them has the virus it scans the number of people nearby and if it's 9 or less the virus has to go home without infecting anyone! Numbers skyrocketing, almost 4,000 new cases yesterday, and it's GET OUT THERE AND GET READY FOR FOOTBALL! The desire for there to be high school football in Florida is going to kill and cripple so many people. Imagine trying to have a remotely "safe" loving football practice. (my prediction is for them to say in 2 weeks or so that now you can have 30 people in a group at practice so that when it's time for school they can say "Of course we can put 30 kids in a room, it's just part of our policy!")

Cobra Lionfist posted:There's been no cases in Macau for months after a mini surge of people returning from overseas. Still total of 45 cases and no deaths since the start. Everyone still wears masks all the time though. Except for at the gym, there everyone leaves them in the lockers(you need a temperature check and a declaration that you haven't been outside Macau when you enter). But aside from that the only people you see without masks are the occasional foreigner. This is the case in Nunavut, which is fly-in only. We still have no cases, but we remain locked down from air travel. Everyone flying in must stay in isolation for 2 weeks at an Isolation Centre - a designated hotel in a southern hub where once you go in, you're not allowed to leave for 14 days after being given the all-clear by our Chief Medical Health Officer. We have largely re-opened everything (except the local gym in the capital  ) but there is a constant low-level sense of dread that if things in the south get worse (ie: if ever the food/cargo/mail flights stop), or if we actually do get an outbreak up here (the territory's only hospital has like 25 beds), we are hosed.

communistnkinky69 posted:Did everyone else forget at the start of this thing we were making fun of chuds for buying up masks and wearing them because they dont work and actually make you more likely to get sick? Turns out we were loving idiots. There Bias Two posted:This absolutely did not happen the way you're presenting it. There are a number of issues being conflated here, including the conversation surrounding medical masks vs. cloth masks, proper handling of PPE when in use, and questions surrounding the supply chain and whether it was appropriate for average people to be using hospital-grade masks when hospitals did not have enough. Insane Totoro posted:This is exactly what the guy is describing. A handful of people looked at (or were telephone-gamed) studies that said "cloth masks are more likely to infect the wearer with earlier coronavirus types" and COMPLETELY overlooked that the studies were done in a hospital setting with a very high environmental virus load and masks being worn all day, and proceeded to diarrhea their misreadings into the thread to the chagrin of most people. It wasn't "we", and there was nothing "legitimate" about it. Plus, there's other flat out falsehoods in kinky's post that are suspiciously popular in certain political circles and can only very charitably be explained by "they're misinformed and are condensing complex topics into single pithy sentences that are entirely incorrect".

Insane Totoro posted:This is exactly what the guy is describing. And how it comes off to the average layperson. And it happened in national discourse too. At no point did anyone but the terminally stupid suggest that wearing a mask will make you sick. That has been solely a chud talking point You can probably dig up posts where posters question whether wearing an n95 improperly (e.g. no seal or just over the mouth) is really any better than not wearing one at all, but that's not the same as suggesting that wearing the mask would cause illness.

communistnkinky69 posted:I dont really care if you think someone said something wrong about covid. EVERYONE has been saying the wrong things about covid. The WHO got it wrong. China got it wrong. The researchers got it wrong. The charters got it wrong. The USA got it wrong. You seem to be majorly confused on a number of matters so I just want to stop and point out that I didn't "lose it" on anyone, and that the information we're talking about has not changed in months. Certain conservative segments of the population have altered how they feel about the facts, but the facts in question have not changed. When someone keeps coming into the thread to post about how the economic effects of shutting down is actually worse than the virus despite being corrected multiple times in multiple ways eventually you have to accept that they're not interested in learning any new information

JonathonSpectre posted:Fantastic news from world virus epicenter Florida! Good luck with that, here in Australia we're in MUCH better shape than the US with the pandemic and we're still struggling to reopen schools and restart team sports without having outbreaks. They just had to postpone a national league AFL game when one of the players tested positive, they've rescheduled the match for next weekend but they're trying to figure out how many of the other players had been in close contact with that guy in their training sessions and whether they'll have to go into quarantine and miss the upcoming match as well. The governing body says they have to play the match even if they have 6 players sidelined in quarantine and they're super pissed off about it.  https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/crunch-time-looms-for-afl-as-wa-premier-ups-ante-on-fixture-20200621-p554rm.html

QuarkJets posted:At no point did anyone but the terminally stupid suggest that wearing a mask will make you sick. That has been solely a chud talking point I'm not sure if you're only talking about this thread, but up until June 5 the WHO continued to stand by their recommendation that the general public should not wear masks. Their stated reasons were threefold: to avoid mask shortages, to avoid a false sense of security that would result in increased risk taking, and because masks might increase transmission due to improper use and handling. I'm not a chud, and I wear my mask. However, it's inaccurate to claim that the messaging from authorities surrounding masks has been consistent.

There was definitely some confusion and disagreement about the masks early on (and I was told not to bother either here or in the cspam thread) but I don't remember the chuds ever being pro-mask.

Hopper posted:I see a lot of that in Munich too, people sitting in packs together on parkbenches, filling restaurants etc. However, we have mandatory masks in public transport and shops and everybody complies. Plus there are a lot of people who are careful, my entire circle of friends has limited their contacts to very few people even though you are allowed to meet anyone as long as you are in groups of 5 max. We also have mandatory mask on public transport and everyone complies. However, wearing one in a shop is ‘highly recommended‘ and almost nobody does it. I hope I don’t sound authoritarian by saying this, but it sometimes feels that if you don’t make something mandatory and enforce it, you might as well not even bother. Also, the lack of clear communication from the government has been somewhat frustrating. Well, we haven’t had a federal government in over a year, so it was to be expected.

Today I found out that a close friend of mine who works at a hospital lost their father to COVID-19 last night. And also that their entire immediate family is probably infected. I've been lucky enough to not have been personally impacted by this so far, but I think all of us will before it's over with.

It's part feeling immortal, and part for the kick. The bottom line was we may try as hard as we want to make them comply to rules, there will always be stuff like that, everywhere on the globe. Not to say it's OK, or that it's not a selfish behavior (it totally is) just that it will happen again.

My aunt in Georgia tested positive early this month. Since then her progress has been: ER - admitted - oxygen - ICU - ventilator. She's been on a ventilator for about a week now and they just airlifted her to another hospital so she can be put on ECMO.

Movie theaters gonna reopen. https://www.cinemark.com/cinemark-standard/ Cinemark has a Chief Clean and Safety Monitor, so uh I guess we're supposed to feel safe and clean at the movies. Of course theres no actual new movies coming out right now so they're offering discount tix and concessions so you can watch old stuff https://www.cinemark.com/comeback-classics I'm not sure why anyone would go.
