The covid stays very politely behind the shield, and does not rise above it, and would never, under any circumstances, dare to mingle with the air circulating near the ceiling before descending behind another shield.

It is also civilized enough to stay out of schools.Starks posted:a) there’s like 5 people left on this website you can say whatever you want with 0 social consequence, b) you’re right I misread and thought restaurants were closed too, very weird to close bars but not restaurants imo. The bar I was at on Saturday was running as a perfectly normal restaurant most of the night, but by 10:30pm had turned into a slightly quieter version of a club, none of the patrons were wearing masks, downstairs was packed shoulder to shoulder with twenty something's. I don't know that closing them will make a meaningful difference, but that doesn't happen at restaurants.

AFAIK in Toronto anything with a kitchen is considered a restaurant, there’s no legal category for “bar”. Maybe it’s different in Quebec? If not I wonder how they are distinguishing them. Edit: also I think this is the first time I’ve seen the two categories distinguished for covid rules purposes, good to see they’re trying out new combinations Starks fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Dec 21, 2021 |

Well to be clear I'm in Alberta, and defining bar vs restaurant with the "I know it when I see it definition", I have no idea how they're distinguishing them either.

It's also been accurately said that the pandemic is a reflection to how we're responding to the climate crisis: we're making token moves that are geared to being the least inconvenient as possible, regardless of whether they make sense or for that matter a difference. I believe it was the great political thinker Alexis de Tocqueville who said "Give me convenience or give me death!" or maybe that was Jello Biafra I can't remember.

Fully expect everything else to be closed and the 8 p.m. curfew reinstated shortly after Christmas. It’s going to be a long six months of isolation and boredom. Can’t wait to do this every winter for the rest of my life!

last weekend I was at a club/bar in Montreal in a mosh pit 9 days later they're shut down again, fuckin' yikes. Also, if anyone wanted a nice dose of anger towards The Coward Douglas Ford... https://twitter.com/OLPWarRoom/status/1473069950998917121?s=20 The fat gently caress has vamoosed his rear end to the cottage!

Raenir Salazar posted:Does this mean I won't be able to see the Matrix Wednesday? Probably, although I know it's same-day streaming in the US so do with that information what you will. It seems loving ignorant to close cinemas (which may be attended for the purpose they're designed for without removing one's mask) but allowing restaurant dining. I get people are angry with the rules, and when I see nonsense like this I can see exactly why!

AFAIK in Toronto anything with a kitchen is considered a restaurant, there’s no legal category for “bar”. Maybe it’s different in Quebec? If not I wonder how they are distinguishing them. I wasn't entirely sure that anywhere really had any distinction between a restaurant and a bar. I know BC better, and they have the Liquor Primary license. You could say that anyone with that license is a bar/club but it's not really true. The Cambie has a fairly large menu (I'm not sure of their license) but no one is going to call them a restaurant, they are clearly a bar. This applies to a lot of places that have a proper kitchen and meals but no one mistakes them for being a restaurant. These restrictions seem to use unclear terms a lot.

It's also like counting the angels that can dance on the head of a pin, and it's exactly as relevant for controlling COVID-19. I feel like I'm shouting the same things I shouted the last four waves: indoor dining can't be safe right now, even if you really really want it to be!

Things are safe if and only if you can wear an N95 as you're doing them. Working foodservice is safe, so takeout is okay. Eating indoors cannot be accomplished with a mask on, so it's not okay.

There's also a balance of necessity. A lot of people like to trot out "well if this pretty essential thing can be open, why can't this frivolous thing? They're the same level of risk." I saw this a lot when non-essential retail was closed but groceries were still open. Manfacturing (at least some of it) is pretty essential to keep running. Indoor dining is much less important.

None of these things are safe but if I don’t go in to work in my manufacturing or whatever job, I don’t eat, but if I don’t go in to a restaurant, I can eat at home.

You could say that anyone with that license is a bar/club but it's not really true. Awww man the Cambie menu takes me back. The place used to be separated into two parts, the food part and the bar part. If you couldn't find seats in the bar part you sat in the food part which looked exactly the same as the bar part, except you had to order a plate of fries with the five pitchers of beer you just ordered. This used to be a common thing in some places downtown. Part of the liquor license said food had to be served as they were a food primary place (I assume because the Cambie was so large they just split it into two). Fortunately that law has been done away with and you can just order five pitchers of beer without pretending you actually wanted food too.

My first bar fight and closing out for the night was at the Cambie.  Great place to watch hockey though!Doesn’t matter now though cause we’re all gonna die if we step outside for more than five seconds. Can’t wait until my essential working husband brings it home! Yay!

Well today's the fourth day I'm coughing my head off but at least the fever's sort-of abated, and my resting heart rate isn't in the 90s anymore, so...  ?Got a PCR test today so I guess we'll see how that goes.

Gyms closing in BC. Usually wouldn't care much about that except I had been using the gym for my physio rehab sessions. Now I feel like a dope for not getting any gym equipment for my apartment earlier on.

Alberta NDP MLA Thomas Dang had police execute a search warrant on his house. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/alberta-mla-thomas-dang-resigns-from-ndp-caucus-after-rcmp-searches-home-1.6294219 They're saying it's related to when they hosed up the vax record website and you could access anybody else's info, I'm guessing he probably used it to look at the vax status of UCP members. flakeloaf posted:Well today's the fourth day I'm coughing my head off but at least the fever's sort-of abated, and my resting heart rate isn't in the 90s anymore, so... Stay safe, friend. Do you have a pulse oximeter? e: Jason Kenney and Jason Copping are blaming Trudeau for not getting them enough rapid tests, even after saying they only shipped 500,000 of the 2.5 million they had last week. e2: They just banned dancing, This is footloose all over again!

Can anyone recommend a good site to buy the at-home covid tests? Relying on the BC government is once again a bad idea, my friend called yesterday for a test and is getting one on Friday, great lead time.
