So what the hell is a contact tracer functionally supposed to do anyways? Phone up everyone who went to a specific walmart on the 24th?Proud Christian Mom posted:HEB also wants to keep people alive since dead people don't buy groceries which is more than we can say about virtually any level of government in this state Dead plebes can't collect unemployment and make bad number go up!

I also find out on Nextdoor when the crossfit gym guys up the road are doing extra cardio by running through the neighborhood, because all the old rear end white people send loving APB phone alerts breathlessly warning about the urbans running in packs. Watch out! Be safe!

Spacebump posted:HEB was more prepared than the people currently in charge of the federal government. There is no federal government for this crisis. The balkanization of America has come to pass.  Most of the other states have already formed regional government response groups, and I like the look of county governments trying to rebel against more aggressively foolhardy state governments.

Just picked my son up in Harris county. 40 minute round trip and not a single mask in sight. Thanks for taking all the teeth out of it, Abbot. Not that the local cops hadn't publicly stated they wouldn't enforce it before that anyway.

Xarthor posted:I want to know how retail businesses are going to regulate what 25% capacity is. Are they going to have a bouncer at the door with one of those clickers letting people have a 1-in-1-out policy? Because I think most angry boomers I've seen are just going to storm the doors and not give a gently caress if anyone tries to stop them. Same thing for churches. I'd bet practically anything that the pews are going to be full up this Sunday. grocery stores have been doing this, but they have alot more staff than these places so yeah

I felt socially pressured to wear a mask to go to Tom Thumb. I hope wearing a mask just becomes the new normal as more and more people provide death stares to anyone not wearing one in public. Government won't save us. Only angry people around us will save us.

I gave death glares to all the maskless people at my local Whole Foods (just across the Dallas County line where the mask ordinance doesn't reach) but I don't know if it works. A lot of them are going maskless out of spite and "muh freedoms", so they relish the hate.

Yeah, for me I was in the "please let me live peacefully in this society" group. I totally understand there's a lot of "defending my freedom to contract plague" people around. I can totally see a situation where if this was maybe 2014 and Obama was like "hey guys, don't drink the bleach please," there would all of a sudden be more bleach related deaths than corona. Some people are just assholes and unfortunately with corona around, they are risking the health of other people instead of just being dicks.

The whole point of the mask is to keep the wearer from getting other people sick, not so that they don't get sick themselves. not wearing a mask is explicitly effecting those around you.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I hope my employer leaves the option to work from home even after they decide to open their doors. I won't feel safe until a few months after everything opens back up just to ensure it wasn't premature (we all know it will be).

Until there's significant testing or a vaccine, I will continue to work from home since my wife is immuno-compromised and I have to take care of her. Thankfully it's very doable with my job.

Sure, I'm just saying what “enforcement” will look like if HEB or whatever decides on a mandatory mask policy: you can't go in. Being a contrarian dickhead lib owner isn't a protected class (yet)

I went to the grocery for the first time today since the beginning of March, pleasantly surprised that everyone was wearing a mask except one dude who just grabbed a cart and waltzed in through the door, skipping the entire line of people waiting outside before the worker could stop him. Also a boomer couple were holding masks but not wearing them, and one lady inside the store just kind of pulled hers down to her chin while she was looking at the selection. My mask got kind of hard to breath through after an hour and my face had just started to get a little sweaty by the time I arrived home so after all those precautions, I opened the door, set the groceries down, took the mask off and then absentmindedly wiped some sweat off my lip with the back of my hand.  FoolyCharged posted:The initial order that prompted all the backlash in Harris let you just use a scarf or something. It was the most relaxed thing ever and didnt deserve the ridiculous response it got. My issue when I heard about the order was that it didn't sound like they had any way of distributing masks to people who didn't have one, and expecting people to have one is kind of ridiculous considering even hospitals are having trouble getting them right now. Going "yeah, you can just wear a shirt over your face and it's fine" mitigates that a bit but if they're going to be that loose about it then what's the point of enforcing it? I guess if it gets more people to take the mask thing seriously it's worth it, it just feels like there's a better way to do this, or there would be if the federal response wasn't such a massive clusterfuck.
