I don't go out socially, I haven't since this whole thing began and I don't know that I will for some time yet. I still mask outdoors, I put the mask on when I leave the house and it doesn't come off until I am back. But everybody else is pretty much pandemic's over. Bars and restaurants are packed. More people wear masks under their nose indoors, nobody wears them outdoors, though I can't be surprised there. I get that some people are "done with this poo poo" but I refuse to give an inch while the risks are still death, even double vaccinated. Also laughed when the fake exemptions lovely Dr's were supplying in BC included Atopy related illnesses when mine have generally improved with masking.

I am in a big risk group for death unvaccinated, and even though I’m double vaxxed I still freak out about it. Going out Tuesday night to a concert was the first big thing I’ve done since Covid began, and it was wonderful to do something “normal” - but I’m going to keep masking everywhere and watch my health like a hawk for the next two weeks. I’m also not going to another crowd event now that I know they aren’t checking the QR codes all the time. So what if this means I don’t go out? I’d rather not loving die. And until all the unvaxxinated people either get vaccinated or die off I won’t. You can’t trust your fellow man to not be a stupid fucker.

I'm sort of skeptical that will occur personally - I think it's always going to be an existing risk even 5-10+ years from now. It's of course a personal choice but I do wonder what approach the more stringent individuals will take if the horizon kicks out for years or it just becomes a regular occurrence like other airborne illnesses. While I comply with all of the rules etc. I'm at a point where meeting with friends, catching a baseball game etc. are all reasonable risks (especially with such a low risk of severe complications at my age and vaccination status). I am also a public sector worker who has to be in the office 3x a week with many colleagues present as well. Capri Sunrise fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Oct 29, 2021 |

0 risk is pretty much impossible. At this point it is all about mitigating risk and figuring out what best suits you. if you think large crowds are too risky avoid large crowds. If you think not wearing a mask outdoors is too risky wear a mask outdoors. At this point though, at least personally, I find that there is risk of death every time I leave the front door from a whole range of things (I've already been hit by a car once this year while biking and am pretty lucky to still be alive and without any spinal damage or head trauma but that doesn't mean I haven't gotten back on a bike once I was able to or never crossed a road again) and it is about doing what you think is the safest for you.

I agree with this 100%. Well put.

I don't know yet know how I feel about the long term but I am comfortable with the measures I do take, as I said masking actively helps me, even if we reached covid 0 I would still mask up now for my health. I guess though as well, I can't goto restaurants or bars due to dietary restrictions anyway, I live where I have no family, so calls and video chat with family were already the norm. I already had restrictions on my life due to my health and situation, so I guess that little bit more doesn't bug me as much. I already shrugged at going to the theatre to see something, covid existing as a known just makes the choice definitive not to go. Full hermit doesn't bug me, but I know it's not for everyone, but again my existing medical conditions has meant some level of isolation my entire life, it was impossible for me to miss things that other people enjoy freely anyway.

Everyone has their own risk assessments, so no sweat at all if you're personally only comfortable with no social contact, but going out doesn't need to be a concert. I'm pretty heavily immunocompromised (gently caress tacro and prednisone forever), and my personal line is indoor social activities only with very close friends and family (basically less than 10 people right now), and outdoor socialization with a larger group. It's starting to suck coming up to the winter and no one wants to be outside anymore (and restaurants have given up completely on patios now that they can have full capacity inside), but it still doesn't feel nearly as isolating as last year.

Oh yes, sorry, I mean things like concerts and games are 100% a no go for me now. I’m good with restaurants that scan peoples’ info. I’ve not tried a movie theatre yet but I usually go VIP anyway when I do so I’m sure that should be fine.

Today I got called out to a site to help a client fix the tarp over their tent (pretty cool and windy tonight where I am). Police were there but would not assist the client because what if someone takes photos of them assisting, it might look like they're tearing down the camp which would be bad publicity. This isn't a second hand story or rumour or anything, it was the police that called me and told me that lol. Took about 15 minutes to hold some parts taut while the client tied off stuff.

The motive hasn't been officially confirmed yet but it sounds like someone who got put on leave for refusing to get vaccinated started killing people, and attacked one person in the hospital. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/seven-oaks-hospital-assault-update-1.6228462

My chips are on frustrated incel, two of the victims were his parents. Also, goddamquote:“(The doctor) literally had to put his hand inside the nurse's neck to stop the bleeding,” said a hospital source. “When the clerk announced for security on the loudspeaker, she forgot to hang up the line and everybody from their hospital rooms (and the) lobby had to listen to the yells and screaming for help from the doctors and nurses.

Winnipeg was barely locked down. This is some psycho that needs to be chucked off the top of a building. Imagine killing your loving parents. Absolutely vile. It’s spreading in the nursing community like fire. Wife’s friend literally worked with him last week. This piece of trash was so brainwashed that even with a nursing background went psycho on vax requirements and almost killed his manager. He deserves to rot along with all other anti-vaxx morons.

Furnaceface posted:Unhealthy combination of global pandemic, isolation, unraveling of the social safety net, and Facebook. Yes, the very root is radicalization, and it's been directed top-down by government representatives in a variety of countries. It's a bit tiring to always invoke Trump, but I think it's true that online radicalization grew enormously during his tenure. He encouraged radicalization of the GOP faithful which in turn meant that many Republicans had to do the same to ensure they would get re-elected and retain power within the party. When public representatives are the ones talking about election fraud and attending events where armed attacks are seriously discussed (and executed re: the capitol) then the actual radicals are completely off the map. And of course for some idiotic reason there's Trumpers all over Canada too and the Bernier fans so the infection spreads. You think there might be something to it if your Rep./MP talks about <some right-wing conspiracy> so you join your local "<location-name> Proud" group. Links are posted to other groups, and you get deeper, and before you know it you're posting memes about hanging Trudeau and thinking it's a great idea to follow his campaign bus to throw rocks at him.

Also it was confirmed on CTV that anti-vaxx murderer did kill both his parents. Local tiny dick Patrick Allard weighed in during the live update:  Needs a good punch in the face. This guy has been openly posting about anti-vaxx parties and other poo poo. Even had an arrest warrant. I hope he gets what's coming to him.

I think Season Two was where the show really got on its feet. The episode with Martin Downey Jr. was really great, as were the Harry Anderson episode and the one about the circus. I have a box set of all of the seasons, I should check out a few over Halloween.
