Fallom posted:Edit: nm, that link is N95s not KN95s. Probably a good price. It's a conical style L-188 not a cup style one. Looks like a KN95 but is a N95. https://wwwn.cdc.gov/NIOSH-CEL/ApprovalDetails?schedule=84A&approvalNum=6973 Do your own seal tests for any mask since not one size fits all. But a headband will do you better than earloops. Obviously non medical use but the particulate filtration is fine for civilian use for more protection than a KN95 and IMHO a better consistent seal with the adjustable nose piece. The slight flex in the material (versus the rigid cup N95s) mold to my face better since well it is not as rigid. They have the cup style ones on sale below MSRP too: https://bonafidemasks.com/harley-n95-respirator-face-mask-model-l-288/ (I hear fat goon faces fit the cup ones better?!) Edit. It's a better deal than whatever that one banner ad here was selling at ridiculous predatory prices.

Listening to the debate the other day, Biden talked about requiring businesses to follow basic COVID protocols like enforcing physical distancing, reducing capacities, and putting up plexiglass barriers... which were basic steps I had just assumed every western nation had quickly adopted back in March or April? Asked my yankee friends to clarify, and businesses apparently have had zero mandate to protect their customers or employees this whole loving time? The gently caress is wrong with America.

I will say around here (Philadelphia) I haven't been into a place that doesn't have a "You have to wear a mask" sign and everybody complying and I see plastic barriers in almost every building I go into. I do see the occasional rear end in a top hat not wearing one or wearing it wrong but it's not often. It's not like that everywhere but around here it's been alright.

The US is 50 different countries that sometimes cooperate, but most of the time don't. Some of the countries mandate things like that, and even have a populace that mostly follows the directions. Some of them think that forcing cars to not run over pedestrians is too much regulation, let alone begging people to wear a mask.

I think many businesses have done it voluntarily (I would estimate like 98% of businesses here in NYC), but it wasn't legally required, legislatures didn't immediately gather to pass laws about it

Some fat lady walked out of the bathroom same time i walked into a taco bell today and immediately as she got in line behind me she yelled helloooo customers waiting but then when the cashier came out and first thing she did was to tell the fat rude lady to put a mask on it was the first time i saw it enforced here in Fl even if out of spite

My folks live up near Philly and the impression I get from them is very much what you've described. They wear masks whenever they go out. Plus the town they live in has figured out a seemingly reasonable al fresco dining strategy for the restaurants in town. Apparently they're shutting off car access to big chunks of town each weekend and spreading tables out into the streets. Honestly it sounds like a good way to stimulate business even sans pandemic. On the other hand I still live in deepest darkest Georgia, though at least now I'm in the northern chunk of the state. I'd say 90%+ of the locals wear masks in the grocery, but I walked through the center of town to grab a bottle of wine last weekend and literally no one aside from the servers were wearing masks.

The only way the US is going to get the virus under control is to shut down, the way NZ/AU/Korea etc has. That means bars, clubs, restaurants, theatres, literally everything that isn't an essential business.

But Covid as a pandemic would. We could then move forward- reopen everything- jump on outbreaks and economy saved. Life could essentially return to normal

It's too late and because of the vast number of cases in the community it'd take a really long, strict lockdown for the outbreak to be stamped out. It also looks like you've got various local authorities that would flat out refuse to enforce something like that so there would just end up being reservoirs of virus in chuddy communities which would then kick off fresh outbreaks once the lockdown is lifted.

Lock everything down. Smaller businesses would be reimbursed. People would be given lifelines. However, I think we would have people who are so outraged they would no joke get the virus on purpose and spread it in any way possible.They'd show up at nursing homes and cough on everyone. Go to hospitals and cough on everyone. Anywhere that had people in clusters would be a target. People would go this loving nuts over it.

Being cavalier about the virus makes you seem smart as long as there are no cases around, but it's essentially laying down lots and lots of kindling, so as soon as it inevitably arrives in your community, one spark creates a megafire that can't be contained.

This push to reopen movie theaters has me rolling my eyes. There is no way to make a movie theater safe during a pandemic. It can't be done unless you convert the whole building into a drive in theater or something. If you require masks, people will take them off when it gets dark. If you separate the seats, the AC will blow the virus around the room as has been proven time and time again. If you don't sell concessions or limit concessions, you'll lose money. Sorry movie theaters, you had a good run but it's over now.

I'm not really sad to see them go, the insane improvements in TV and home projector tech in the last two decades has basically destroyed a lot of the advantages movie theaters used to have over home viewing. These days, it's the surround sound system that's a better value upgrade from what most people have at home, and that poo poo's so loud you have to wear earplugs for it anyway. And you never talk to anyone other than your family/friends there anyway, and I doubt anyone misses sticky floors/seats or loudass kids running amok in the aisles during previews. Good riddance to bad rubbish, I say. If the pandemic ever ends, they should be replaced with a live theater renaissance instead. The only that's really bad about it is that the pandemic may very well have revived the Studio System in the form of stream service fragmentation.

Going the way of the arcades, luckily nothing of value is being lost. In my region I suspect the generic chain multiplexes are gonna be in deep poo poo (coronavirus or no, honestly) but the little boutique ones that serve food and liquor may be able to pop back up after things clear up in... a while.

I only wear KN95 masks, my husband has a reusable N95-ish mask from EnvoMask. I don’t want to wear cloth masks because I really don’t want more laundry to deal with and also I want more protection than some 1918 flu masks. I’m stressing trying to find something small enough for my kid (2 next month) because she will be required to wear one when we are at her appointments now. I would prefer KN95 so I hope this random Chinese site I found with toddler sized KN95 masks is legit. I just want something I can keep in the diaper bag and then put in the trash afterwards like my own masks.

Nah, I used to hate theaters. Having your chair kicked. Sitting shoulder to shoulder next to people you had no idea who they were. Having to piss in the middle of a movie was the worst as you tripped over 20 peoples feet trying to get through and then tripping your way back into your seat. I basically bought the biggest baddest rear end home theater ever and stayed home. When they remodeled with the reclining sofas, alcohol and food delivery, and enough room to march a band up and down the aisles it was like heaven. Not even a 70" HDTV with full 7.1 comes close to what most decent theaters offer today. Yeah, they'll go under, and it's going to loving suck. But they'll come back. Likely they'll come back branded by Fox, Disney and start franchising them back out again. It'll be a good 10 years from now most likely.

Yep, I could never go back to a theater without reclining comfy seats, ordering food that is brought out to me, and the ability to reserve specific seats in the theater so I can roll in at my leisure and still get a good spot. Otherwise I can just stay home and sit on my own couch. I’m not itching to go inside a theater as long as the covid death toll is increasing.
