Case One: Covid poses nearly no risk to children but poses sever risk to the elderly. Solution One: Close the schools and send infected patients into nursing homes. Case Two: Obesity is one of the leading comorbidities that cause death from Covid. Solution Two: Close the gyms and keep the liquor stores open. Case Three: Outdoor transmission is very low and rare. Cases mostly spread indoors at gatherings. Solution Three: Close the beaches, parks and camp grounds and order people to stay home. |

the mask\anti-mask argument is old.
There are people that won't wear a mask for various reason, mostly political. There are people who swear by masks because they have to feel safe even if they may not be as safe as they feel. Fair enough. My problem is when you hear things like "you wear the mask to protect others from you, not you from others. Then you hear "well, it also protects you from others" which ironically negates the former to a degree. Then the real fun starts. 85% of cases were people who wore masks most or all of the time. But how can that be? They wore masks! You didn't wear them right. You wore them but touched them. You wore the wrong kind. It's a convenient excuse to just blame the lack of masks when the reality is more people across the globe are wearing masks now than they were 5 months ago and we have a huge surge in cases. Might be more to it than just masks. |

I must admit that one of the most disappointing things of this whole shutdown is the fact that liquor stores and marijuana stores were deemed "essential". I presume it's because the government figured it would cause more problems to close them than to leave them open, but what does that say about our society? |

It's like closing down Walmart here. Or casinos. Walmart is the number 1 contributor to the local option sales tax here. And one county over, the casino is literally FUNDING parts of the school district in lieu of additional local option sales taxes. I don't know about there but pretty much the only things getting shut down here are small business. The chain restaurants are drive-up or carry-out and the chain stores are all open. It's all about generating enough revenue to stay open. Last edited by htismaqe; 11-20-2020 at 01:25 PM.. |

In an attempt to steer the conversation in another direction...
My company has all of us back in the office as of this week. We're all required to wear masks, etc. I share a rather large office with one other co-worker. Any precautions we can take to help mitigate the possible spread? We have a giant window, but it doesn't open. I have a fan running in an attempt to keep air moving around. Any other ideas? |
