Luckily, the EU sees no reason to close internal borders to prevent people from going skiing abroad, having normal Easter holidays in Spain, Italy or on the Balkans and then come back bringing all new mutations into their home countries. That's because it won't happen since our government is "strongly urging people to abstain from unnecessary travel" after all. Boy I sure am glad that 1 year of constantly displayed stupidity by the people has taught our government that their subjects will surely listen to their pleas. We are so hosed.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:It just makes me want to scream. What the gently caress is the point of cutting myself off from normal life for almost a year, of not seeing friends, of not seeing family, of not being able to say goodbye to my grandmother before she died, when most people here don't give a gently caress and the disease will keep raging for months and months due to their selfishness and stupidity? Distanced hugs from Sweden. It’s a shared feeling and it is maddening. I’ve lost faith and trust in others, that the bare minimum so we all win is something simply unacceptable for them. I overheard my colleague the other day complain about having to leave England to return to Sweden before the lockdown (this was over the holidays) and I wanted to just go full rage out on me. I don’t like that these feelings of resentment are growing and growing in me. I don’t like feeling snap anger at someone when I see them maskless or worse, with their nose sticking out.

That’s cool The rest of us who work facing the public and are not allowed to wear half or full respirators would very much like the work from home bunker posters to stfu now There’s no point in us ‘bunkering up’. We have to work to live. Everyday we might catch it, never know it and get organ damage. This is just reality now. You live in a different world.

Just pass a bylaw allowing frontline workers to shoot to kill anyone not wearing masks, that'd be a nice compromise

This isn't the last epidemic, and being out in the trenches so to speak sucks rear end. Sure do love being blasted with particles from coworkers and randos on the daily. Just reinforces the utter randomness of it all. You have my sympathies. We do what we can to survive.

lovely bathroom spotlights are down 2/8 working so I went out to Screwfix (UK - hardware) to pick up some replacements and re-wire them. Order on-line, go in wearing mask. Big signs saying no customer entry without a mask on door. I'm the only customer in there. While in collecting mine from a mask wearing staff member behind a plastic screen, in comes huge fat fifty something plumber man. No mask, blatantly just come from a customer site. Out of breath from walking in from the van and yelling his order before getting to the till. I did feel guilty about going shopping before I went. Not so much now.

freebooter posted:I was in self-imposed lockdown for basically eight months, in Melbourne which was in enforced lockdown for March/April and then again for July-October, and the only way I handled that without going insane was the knowledge that the rest of the country was doing just fine and if we could just get through it, we could join them (which we now have). We could literally watch the numbers going down each day until we hit zero. I can't imagine how much it must loving suck to have to isolate for longer than that and also not have the end anywhere in sight. Don't forget the added bonus of half of your acquaintances calling you an idiot for taking it seriously as you watch the numbers go up every day

Feeling rage at loving idiots is normal, imo Don’t have to get into confrontations but I can’t help think “this guy is very ignorant, dumb, or selfish, but while I find out Imma stay 6+ feet away” Edit: I don’t mind the nose-out guys so much, they’re better than maskless morons. They’re trying, or pretending to follow instructions. Usually if I ask them to wear it correctly or say “oh your mask slipped down”, most put it on correctly. I tried to give away a mask to a dude working outside my home and he said “oh I have a mask, I just don’t wear it” ok guy thanks Comfy Fleece Sweater fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Jan 23, 2021 |

It's extremely difficult to enter NZ or Australia at the moment. One of the most effective ways both countries have of controlling covid is limiting the amount of people entering and requiring those who do enter to spend time in managed isolation/quarantine. Until enough people are vaccinated, border control is unlikely to be eased.

The reports I'm reading suggest that it's more likely to be a border case than a community transmission case. They seem to think it might have originated when someone had close contact with a woman who was released from quarantine after testing negative on day 12.

Seriously, if the article you want to link includes phrases likequote:So is the beginning of covid's end truly nigh (coincidentally, just as Joe Biden walked into the White House)? quote:herd immunity should be a fact of life by the late spring (unless, of course, Fauci moves the goalposts again, or a new mutant strain with immunity to all vaccines mysteriously emerges in the next few weeks). you might be a moron.

As bad as the vaccine rollout has been it's still happening and we've mostly been targeting the most at-risk demographics. So it makes sense that hospitalizations will start trending downwards.

So I’m in the process of moving from the northeast to Florida (lol RIP), currently in NC at a hotel. Holy gently caress no one down here wears a mask. I saw a handful of employees at the gas stations I stopped at wearing a mask, and zero customers. Not even chin masks, nothing at all. And the people 2 rooms down are having a roughly 15 person hotel room rager, blasting music and getting absolutely hammered. Like, I thought my old state was bad from the dozen or so people out of every 200 that don’t care, but this is another level of denial.
