Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
I confess that when I'm outside, I don't wear a mask (tho I do keep good distance from people), basing it on the earlier assumption that the droplets don't stay airborne more than a few seconds. This seriously fucks with that assumption.Flex wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 4:27pmyeah, I think I read scientists were leaning more and more to aerosol transmission, but this lays it out as well as possible.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
I have a heavy duty mask for when I go into anywhere tight like a bodega or liquor store but otherwise I go with the gaiter. We've been hiking a lot to replace the gym and I wear a lightweight gaiter that I can yank up or down. I doubt it does anything but it does send a message. To the mostly old folk who are wearing a mask it says that I give a shit about whether they live or die. To the 55-65 year old entitle boomer douchebags who think they are somehow above performing a simple act for the greater good my face covering says, "fuck you, disease bag!".Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 6:31pm

To me, the mask thing has really become a barometer for people I deal with. If you are so far up your own ass that the simple act of covering your breath is an insurmountable inconvenience then I don't have time for you.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
I've been quite self-aware about how much I judge (and fear being negatively judged) people on their pandemic "performance." It's something I don't like because I've made great efforts to be less judgmental (it's a learned family trait) but seeing people being oblivious about how they might affect others just gets my teeth grinding.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 6:56pmTo me, the mask thing has really become a barometer for people I deal with.

I love that the Sioux said a giant fuck you to all the red neck bikers who thought they could just ride thru their territory.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
I am asking myself if getting covid would be worth seeing smash mouth live. And the only answer I can come up with is "well, maybe if they just played their first album"

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
And I'm asking myself if getting Covid would be worth it as some kind of guarantee to never hear from Smash Mouth again. It's a lot closer than one might imagine.

Re: Coronavirus Thread of Doom
Same. I was at Target the other day and a man was walking around smugly without a mask (which is against the county ordinance) and i shot him a dirty look. Unfortunately, that's all I did because there is a good possibility he also had a gun. And then yesterday, after I got out of my car at the grocery store, I realized I didn't have my mask on and was horrified that someone spotted me.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Aug 2020, 7:02pmI've been quite self-aware about how much I judge (and fear being negatively judged) people on their pandemic "performance."
