Had weekly social distancing outdoor cookouts for a minute, then learned that one of the couples who regularly hosted was also hosting 'drinks nights' inside their home every week with nearly a dozen working professionals. gently caress.

So with the situation being what it is, have any of y'all used a face shield? It seems fairly uncontroversial that they work better than masks. The main drawbacks being that some are uncomfortable and that they look kinda stupid, but whatthefuckever, I don't want to get pwned by this virus. They also appear to be easily procurable at the moment, so I'm thinking now's the time to buy one if I'm gonna do it.

I got a 3 pack on Amazon, the kind you wear like glasses, not the headband. It’s pretty comfortable and the acrylic is thin but the quality seems fine. No complaints.

Like the poster beneath you, you gotta assume that most people who agree to meet up with you under social distancing rules are probably not sticking to them properly away from you. Your bartender friends were probably hanging with other friends up close the whole time, telling themselves "it's okay, we're staying alert".

I've been wearing a $16 3M I picked up at Lowe's since the start. Not that uncomfortable, plus you get used to it. Also thick enough in case there's a riot

Hey friends, I could use your advice. I have concert tickets that were originally for this October, but I just heard that the show has been postponed for a year. Do you think things will be safe next October? I only have 30 days to request a refund, so I can’t really wait and see how things go.

Some dude seemed like he was trying to resist by asking the girl at the door "Have you heard anything about not having to wear one if you have health problems?" She just said no and that was that, he kept the mask on.

That's better than I've seen at that Meijer, but I haven't been in two weeks because I figured poo poo would be bad because of the 4th of July. Probably helps that there's a mask order now

Nobody knows and it's not worth making hard projections at this point. As a musician, if you can afford to let them keep the money in exchange for rescheduled tickets please do - nobody in the industry is sure whether there will be any artists or venues left within a year so we need all the help we can.

That is a really good point. Going to metal shows is pretty much the only thing I actually enjoy going out and doing and I’d be crushed if the venues all disappeared

Do you think things will be safe next October? I only have 30 days to request a refund, so I can’t really wait and see how things go. One of the hosts of one of my favorite podcasts is extremely plugged into the Seattle music scene and has said the concert industry will be far more hurt by this than sports. No concerts till 2022 is the current plan. The tough part is that this shuts down the livelihoods of event staff, tour staff, techs, all the behind the scenes people. Not to mention venues shutting down permanently because of zero events.

Schadenboner posted:gently caress, I just ordered lovely nachos for after work but now I want lovely sushi for after work. One of the top five craziest thoughts I've continuously had since March is how much I miss very bad supermarket (or god help you gas station) ready-made sushi. I don't know why. It's not good or fresh, it's probably barely up to whatever health code. But I miss supermarket pre-made sushi.

They don't "work better than masks" They serve a different purpose. Masks prevent your poo poo from getting out, and shields can prevent any residual fall off (along with distancing). However, they are great at blocking particles from reaching your face from other people. IDK if it's already been posted here but take a look, it's SCIENCE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tp0zB904Mc

all of these states are going to lock down again, it's coming except florida because florida is florida quote:In Georgia, which reported more than 4,000 new cases on Friday, Atlanta officials said they were preparing to shift back to “Phase 1” guidelines, which call for residents to largely stay at home. quote:In Texas, which reported record numbers of daily cases four times this week, Gov. Greg Abbott signaled the possibility of a new economic “lockdown” if the state cannot curtail the caseloads and hospitalizations that have made it one of the country’s worst hot spots in the pandemic.

Smaller scenes like metal shows are less likely to have the bands collapse cause few of them are full time anyway, but without financial support most independent venues will be dead and buried within six months - the big chains might last another six before they're in trouble too. Once those venues are gone the buildings will get bought up and converted to other things and nobody is going to hire spaces out to new venues because there is already a long standing pattern of landlords using noise complaints to shut them down and use the space for more profitable things. In conclusion: support your local scene however you can, thanks for reading, and I'll have a large fries and Coke with that.

Florida governor Ron DeSantis will not lock down again. No way, not no how, not ever. Local mayors/counties have and may continue to do so, but the trump hand up DeSantis’ butthole will not allow him to lockdown again.

(This was a thing in the uk with a big convention centre/exhibition space in London, think they've decommissioned it now we're at least not in a crazy exponential spike anymore. It didn't really see much use, like 20 people vs 500 bed capacity) https://www.bartshealth.nhs.uk/nightingale
