You haven’t seen me since I got in shape!

You always be a big cuddly teddy bear to me. :hugs:

I didn’t meant to imply that distraction through conversation is always or even often best. There are five strategies and being 5. Direct sounds like it worked out well in your case. Good job.

Yeah. Ive seen this type of stuff before, its great. Especially targeted at how women can intervene if other women are being harrassed.

The majority of people able and willing to go direct is tiny. So you need options for folks who arent hodor-adjacent… @LFS

On a subway car in the summer, though, nearly everybody is odor-adjacent.

So, uh, masking my child is going to cause irreversible harm, but requiring the cops to be at the school on the first day to make sure protests don’t get out hand is perfectly okay to little Johnny!

60% of the hospital is currently covid.

Bucking the worldwide trend, US appears to have less Delta than 7 days ago, with ‘others’, as yet unnamed variants gaining share (?). Strange.

Starting to feel sick. Cooooooool. Having trouble finding a test appointment slot too.

Zero rapid tests around mpls available so thats nice.

Czech rules in place for schools

Students and employees will be tested on September 1st, 6th, and 9th. Vaccinated people don’t get tested. If a person refuses the test, they will have to wear a mask. If the amount of positive tests in schools in a region is above 25 per 100,000, then testing will continue in those areas beyond the 9th.

Now these tests aren’t PCR tests. They’re gargle tests that provide very quick results. Schools can choose to do PCR tests and be partially reimbursed but that’s totally not going to happen in any school.

So yeah. No mask mandate in schools. Completely unsurprising given this shitty government and the unpopularity of any restrictions at all.

Other restrictions will be loosened

-6 people at a time will be allowed at a table in a restaurant (this is not being enforced at all)
-100% capacity in sporting and cultural events, zoos, museums, and art galleries.

Given that there’s almost no enforcement for any of this, we’re relying on the honor system. Most people follow the mask restrictions currently in place in Prague but students who refuse to get tested sure as shit won’t be.

Mathew McConaughey reminds you of Ryan Reynolds?

I’m sure it was just one elderly janitor that caught it, but he REALLY got around the buildings.

No, the guy on the subway does.

Don’t really know what to say to this, other than:
