When one pops in and out for takeout, there are people with no-nose masks and people dining completely without masks. Most people here are doing this, this is the same thing except you’re forced to be in at work. Doesn’t seem like something to get worked up about.
That’s who I was talking about. I mean personally I feel forced into working because of the duration of this and the lack of extended stimulus/CARES. I’m lucky it only has to be a little bit, though.
But yeah nobody is being forced to go drinking in bars or vacationing in Costa Rica.
The fuck is wrong with you? You have no idea what you’re talking about. Everyone at our work wears a mask. Why you feel the need to act so aggressively when you have no idea what the circumstances are is beyond me.
No, but we have the money. We just keep giving it to the wealthy instead. I think we’re approaching a total of $4 trillion in aid so far. That’s over $12,000 per American.
Yeah, these are all people we’ve been in pretty close contact with, unavoidably, for months. We all wear masks but who knows how effective that actually is. Dropping our masks and eating for ten minutes six plus feet apart seems like an acceptable risk, and I’m not about to risk offending the coworkers who put a lot of effort to make it festive and nice by just grabbing my food and leaving.
You’re in a room with people eating fucking burritos, you’re not all wearing goddamn masks. Yet you say:
If you can’t see that this is more dangerous than WEARING MASKS I don’t know what to do with you, you’re an absolute moron. So which is it, if this is no more dangerous than your usual interactions? Are you…
The mask data seems decently strong to me. I support the going in and grabbing, eating maskless in that fashion is too much for me. I wouldn’t care too much about them taking offense.
Everyone in my plant wears masks, 30 people out of 120 have gotten covid, and my daily routine involves talking to 10-15 people right next to me, which is necessary because of how noisy it is. Can’t hear them if you’re more than two feet away. So yeah, compared to that, eating for ten minutes without a mask six feet apart seems OK.
I deleted that comment because it wan’t appropriate but when you put it like that I’m glad you saw it.
I’m blaming him for walking into a room with a bunch of people not wearing masks and removing his mask to join them because it’s the festive thing to do, then claiming that’s just as safe as their usual daily behavior.
Either their usual daily behavior is absurdly risky or he’s handwaving away his risky behavior today because he doesn’t like being called on his shit.
A bunch of people in a room eating maskless is not safe. Oh and I’m sure they’re eating in silence and not talking or laughing to protect more virus into the air.
Given that you read this thread at all, you should be ashamed for drawing this conclusion. Equating talking near someone in a mask to sitting in a room maskless with a bunch of people for 10 minutes is ridiculous.
I’m working 12 hours a month in person, everyone is masked, I’m in an N95, and so far 4+ windows were open each time. I’ve done zero indoor socializing.
