Radiation can also have positive health effects.

The restaurant I worked for is opening in two weeks with outdoor dining only and no bar service along with tons of other precautions to limit interactions with guests while theyâre eating and Iâm actually pretty suprised and glad at the lengths they are taking, except they only hired back 4 of 30~ servers so far and I wasnât one of them which is great fuck them I hated this job anyways who needs them. Whatâs great is I live with two other servers and the one that is gone all day and hasnât been taking coronavirus seriously at all was already hired back as a double fuck you lol

Iâm sure thereâs a certain level of hypochondriacs getting tested without symptoms, and as word about our testing capacity expanding spreads, people are more inclined to try to get tested if they have any reason to think they were exposed, or if they engaged in a risky activity (protesters, e.g.).
eh, threat to quit was pretty half hearted and a small battle may have been won, but the outcome is unsure. My daughter is afraid to upset people and open to compromise. She feels like itâs not allowed to quit a job without giving sufficient notice. For now the âmasks requiredâ sign is still up and she will be enforcing it though.

Yeah, California is in deep shit, and if travel starts increasing in the next two months into and out of LA⌠fuck.
I mean, just wait until all the snooty bastards from the LA region head out for their yearly summer Napa retreat.
With regard to the entertainment industry in CA, shoots are still very limited. So, productions are shooting in places where restrictions are looser, mostly Atlanta right now. So what happens is they hire the principal actors here and fly them along with the director/DP and other essential personnel to Atlanta, mingle and work for a week, and then fly back.
What could go wrong?

Nicotine kills less than Caffeine (man dies chewing gum?)
Fair point.
Americans are just plain done. Some olds are still taking this seriously but basically everyone else is just out of patience and craving a bloominâ onion, consequences be damned.

If we hit new highs at some point (so lets say 40k+ new cases 3000+ new deaths a day):
- People will care
- People will not care

Have you ever been a nicotine addict? I have. Strongly advise against it.

People wonât care unless we have another NYC level crisis with body bags in the street. And depending on where this happens, the local or state government may be able to fudge the numbers enough that it doesnât get covered.

Never accept unsafe working conditions. This can never be compromised. Of course, you already know this. Iâm sure, because of your work at least, youâve chatted about safety culture before with tour family. Safety first.
On the subject of safety last: the dive bars can reopen in San Diego Co. To clarify: by âdiveâ I mean small indoors only neighborhood bars, without food service. Two near me have done so, the âDâ bar, and the âHâ bar.
The âDâ bar opened the day dine-in restaurants opened, so they must have already had a food handlers licence. AFAIK their meal service consisted as something like hot dogs during that sing-along shit nights (which I donât attend), and is a âgrey areaâ in CA dives. Full pre-pandemic hours I assume. I know this by the big sign they fashioned out of xmas lights, complete with both the cross & the flag.
The âHâ bar opened later, when I guess they just said fuck it, open it all up. Limited hours: 7 hrs/day, 6 days a week. Perhaps the non-silent (& racist) owner, who works ~2 shifts/week is staffing it personally. However, seeing two of the bartenders cars parked in their usual places makes me highly doubt it.
Trip reports regarding masks and distancing insideâŚ
IDK. LOL @ going in at all. But drunks are too stupid to do any of that shit. I love dive baring⌠but excepting tobacco, alcohol is the worst drug of all.
Damn its just you and I @boredsocial. In caring about stuff I obviously shouldnât news we have:
All time high confirmed cases today:
Arizona
California
Texas
Michigan (maybe a grain of salt with this one as obviously something is a bit weird with their data today.
South Carolina
North Carolina
Also this might be the first time we hit 30k new cases as a nation since May 1 looking very likely.
I think people were legit terrified in the places where it really hit hard. They just arenât anywhere near that threshold in most of the country, and the lockdown prevented them experiencing that until maybe a week or two from now.
My wifeâs facility is in full blown terror full PPE mode. Feels pretty real to the people on the ground, and as it spreads the number of people that is grows.

People will care when someone they love dies, thatâs about the cutoff

i assume part of the reason I care more than most is my wife who works in an ICU. She got accidentally exposed to a Covid patient yesterday actually. They had no Covid symptoms and were in the hospital for something else. Like I mentioned in a previous post her hospital has been testing everyone in the ICU. The test came back positive after she had been in their room for a few hours treating them with just a regular surgical mask.
My wife basically said her whole hospital has gotten lazier about wearing n95 recently mostly because they suck to wear and so have only wearing them around confirmed or presumed cases.

Some will care when someone they know gets it⌠some will care when someone they know dies⌠some others will care when someone they love gets it⌠and some others beyond that will care when someone they love dies. Itâs a spectrum and there is a large number of people at every stop. Everyone cares the second they get it or think they might have.
