boar guy posted:what difference does that make? There is no way things can be over with until there is mass vaccination. That's the only thing that can stop a highly contagious novel virus like this. Even if you somehow got 99.9% compliance worldwide of proper safety measures, eventually they would slip down and the few carriers would start the same process over again. Doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying to limit the spread the best we can to make sure our hospital don't get overrun. But man, holding onto all this anger at everyone else when even if everyone else was nearly perfect, we would be in the same spot in 6 months unless we get a good vaccine.

Can anyone explain to me in a simplistic way, why uk media are reporting South Africa appear to have generated “heard immunity.” What exactly is going on?

BC is starting to pop off, with the highest number of hospitalized since this began. We’ve had it so mild here so far that I worry that people aren’t going to take this seriously until it’s too late. I’m lucky in that as of this week my commute is a fifteen minute walk, so I can avoid public transit. re: weightchat, I’ve dropped two belt sizes so far. Respirator goes on before I go outside and doesn’t leave my face until I get home. e:

Does anyone else get like seriously enraged at people who leave their noses poking out of their masks? Because holy poo poo, I never expected 2020 to give me this much extra rage about something that I never even thought about in 2019.

Has there been studies with the amount of spread/chance of catching it between mouth and nose? I’d like to think it’d at least be a fraction of it, albeit still something very real.

dwarf74 posted:Does anyone else get like seriously enraged at people who leave their noses poking out of their masks? Worse is when someone is wearing a mask, and then moves it out of the way to cough or sneeze.  Don't want to cough in your mask, that would make it damp and unpleasant. EL BROMANCE posted:Has there been studies with the amount of spread/chance of catching it between mouth and nose? I’d like to think it’d at least be a fraction of it, albeit still something very real. It might catch some of your own spit from coughing and talking, but it won't do anything for sneezes. If you are inhaling through your nose it's doing nothing at all to protect you. My degree of rage depends on venue. If it is in a place where masks are not required and most people aren't using them at all, then half-assery is better than nothing. In a place where masks are required it's a huge rear end in a top hat move to not really wear a mask but look like you're wearing a mask so nobody will call you on it.

The people who refuse to wear masks probably also frequently drive drunk, and never wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Uncovered noses also piss me off. Are they too stupid to understand that the mask does nothing if they breathe through their nose? Or are they just stealth assholes?

Insane Totoro posted:This sounds pretty safe and other than social distancing and masks what I'd do is sit your GF down and both be on the same page about setting boundaries if you are pressured to do anything unsafe. I think a big sticking point is “be prepared to get the hell out of dodge if things aren’t right”. Doing that will make family/friends hate you more than simply declining the invitation, so you have to weigh a guaranteed small hit versus an unknown chance of a bigger one.

Bape Culture posted:Can anyone explain to me in a simplistic way, why uk media are reporting South Africa appear to have generated “heard immunity.” What exactly is going on? A lot of people I know live there and I talk to them regularly. Simply, travel from a lot of countries is highly restricted, and everyone wears a mask. Also everyone in SA gets the tuberculosis vaccine as a kid and nobody's sure if that helps or not. But certainly for sure SA had never had really really bad coronavirus and it's got better over time. There's testing, people distance, there have been quite restrictive lockdowns. They even banned sales of alcohol and cigarettes for a while. My friends there are able to hang out with each other now, since there are so few cases. Last I heard it was really really low, like 2500 cases out of 6 million in one province. So no, not herd immunity. Just personal responsibility, restrictive lockdowns, travel bans Edit: there are 1092 active cases in the country right now. redreader fucked around with this message at 08:27 on Oct 29, 2020 |

The French government decided that we were not going to go into lockdown again after all, just say we are while changing almost nothing. Basically, bars and restaurants are closed, but everything else including schools stays open. Go to work you lazy peasants. Well, ok, universities are “moving to online courses” (closing), since they don’t contribute to the bottom line anyway. Who cares about training future workers, right ? We’re hoping that doing nothing of note will allow us to stop the epidemic dead in its tracks (lolno) and at least we’re thinking of the capitalists. Hospitals are adding a bunch of beds but there are no doctors or nurses to take care of the patients. As the current medical personnel die or burn out, the burden falls on those that remain. Macron disgusts me.

Isn't herd immunity to this virus a myth? Here in South Africa we are behind the curve by about two months. When things got dire in Europe, our first cases only started. When we peaked, Europe was recovering so well that everybody there thought it was over. Now after strict lockdowns and mask wearing, we are seeing lower numbers, while Europe is skyrocketing. Hmmm must be because we are special and have developed herd immunity! gently caress you world, nothing can touch us!! Our second wave is coming and everybody is acting like it isn't.

I posted about a family wedding a few weeks ago and my dread surrounding it but it looks like the couple was exposed to covid by their photographer while doing engagement photos. No clue what is going on yet because the couple are either waiting on tests or results still and their wedding was scheduled for the weekend. I’m glad I didn’t have to be the bad guy but it goes to show why we don’t do this poo poo during a pandemic. The photographer was exposed at a wedding they had worked.

Their wedding website says that due to the state mask mandate, masks will be required. I checked the photographer’s Instagram and nobody has masks in any of the pictures. The groom is either a cop or a former cop.

Ahaha Local curling league reopened and instantly got BLITZKRIEG'd by Covid. Apparently a sport based around yelling in a big fridge, with a league structure that heavily punishes cancellations and non-attendance, is a perfect vector for disease spread. Who knew? Apart from me, I mean.
