Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

Alabama cases went down after the first mask mandate, and up after the second one because people stopped wearing them properly & not taking it seriously.

NJ has been wearing masks since March so you’re saying that now the cases are going back up here it’s because people are wearing them improperly?? Uh huh sure.
And just how do you police proper mask wearing? Pipe dream

Have a chat with any POW survivors? Or watch a few documentary on their lives afterwards...

Seeing the sad faces, I figured an elaboration was likely a wise choice of action..... Given the previous post was wondering the long term outcome of the effects (mentally and otherwise) to any number of folks from surviving the pandemic... I figured a modest comparison would be to listen to houlacaust survivor interviews to gain wisdom into the topic from first hand folks who have lived with the mental stuff. I wasn't making light of the situation either. It seemed a reasonable paralellel given the isolation effects on their minds....

So, is your argument that because people refuse to follow the mandates, or do so incorrectly, that there should be none?

When did I ever mention ANYTHING about New Jersey in my statement?

Oh maybe it’s a totally different virus in Alabama then?

No but you said that I said the reasoning for cases UP THERE going up was the not wearing masks properly. I was just speaking from what I see everyday here. Not speaking for any other state.

No I’ve said over and over anymore than they’re doing is going to kill the economy with no evidence that any of it has made a difference since the cases are still rising as we speak.

BUT, not wearing masks properly COULD help spread it, yes. See? We are getting somewhere.

Just because you see somebody with their nose hanging out of their mask doesn’t mean you have proof the cases have risen there because of it. Pure speculation. Nice try though.

Still legal, historically mandated, legally challenged and upheld for over 100 years by our nations courts....
But nah, it's cool. You still think masks protect the wearer for some bizarre reason so it's pretty clear we're not on the same page...

Ohios did too, Huff. But like I've mentioned, these folks live on another plane of existence where evidence isn't real, people with disabilities and poor people can just "stay home" and refusing to care for other people and your communities isn't worthy of moral judgements.
What are you going to do, Huff? You can't fix a disconnect as strong as "laws and mandates can't tell people what to do or dictate behavior". Like????

Meanwhile I've buckled down on making our handmade Yule gifts. We wanna get the cocoa bombs done NOW because those have to have a retention period of days before they can be gifted so the sooner we get them done the better. Max time for virus life on surfaces is 3 days so if we bag them up nice and early they should very be safe. We have weeks, after all.
Currently G's fever is oscillating but mostly holding low. He's lonely but we have plans to play games together tomorrow. We have a lot of remote tools already for interacting with friends - we're just going to use them within out own home. Jackbox games, discord video chat, playing CIV5 or Diablo II together through Wifi, using spelltable to play MTG.

We're going to work on some candles and shower melts tomorrow. Probably the shower melts - we want them dry and retained for many days before distribution for the same risk reason as the cocoa bombs. We bought supplies for all this from a great local craft distributer.
I also have to make a pair of rabbit bone earrings for a secret santa I'm in. Should be good stuff..
