realistically what will it take to make this real again? grandma dying?

Literally, yes. The virus won't be real to most Americans until they're staring at a family member dying of it, or succumbing themselves.

My gym posted their guidelines for 61/7 re-opening and it seems reasonable enough in the era of OPEN ER UP

Limited to 50% building code capacity
Touchless checkin
Still selling drinks/bars but no shake bar, can only pay via the card you have on file with the gym
Every other cardio machine disabled
6 foot distance requirement (kinda lol at the idea of enough people adhering to this)
Masks required at all times in the gym (staff to enforce)
Significant increase in number of sanitizing wipe stations, staff to enforce wiping requirements

If people actually DO all this poo poo it seems alright. I feel bad for the staff because while I'm in a blue state we have plenty of chuds, and they're going to be so lovely about all of this

The gym's FB post announcing the guidelines is already full of chuds making the most adult baby complaints possible to the point that I almost think it's a joke because a woman literally named Karen complained 'I can't even make it through Wal-Mart with a mask on, so I will not be working out with one on'. Lots and lots of people saying they're not doing masks and asking how to freeze or cancel their memberships. Hopefully they all gently caress off forever

If you're breathing heavily, it's more like 12-15 feet. And it's not just the equipment, it's the floors and walls too. There's no way to have a gym that isn't a hot zone once some contagious idiot shows up.

i wish i knew what colleges y'all are talking about. mine thinks covid is fake/over and are marching all faculty, staff and students back in on the normal opening day without changing anything but encouraging masks

Lmao I guess the threat of lawsuits from students wanting their tuition money back if they're just sitting at home on zoom all day outweighs the liability of exposing everyone to covid.

Grown adults, regardless of their personality types, should be capable of being told "things are different right now" and reacting appropriately.

This isn't an extrovert-vs-introvert thing, this is a full-detachment-from-objective-reality thing.

It turns out that the extreme atomization and individual alienation caused by consumer capitalism make society fundamentally incapable of even the simplest collective action.

TBF, I completely understand the nihilism caused by government and the media making the lockdown a noble fight against the disease, then offering zero help to those affected, then saying "nevermind, it's all fake, go back to work" while the infection rate explodes.

I love how both parties in congress came together to ensure finance was bailed out and the stock market were supplied with money printers before saying that's all anybody's getting and bailing, thus basically forcing state and local governments to open'er up and push through mega-austerity

nobody in power can do anything at all except disaster capitalism and crushing the left, two things they're actually quite good at

I told everyone about the chud owner of my company who has expressed his belief that covid is both a hoax and a Chinese bioweapon. a few weeks ago he ended work from home and he's been vocal about getting California opened back up. Well I came into the office this morning and he's decided to have everyone go back to wfh where possible. Turns out his wife is in the ICU and his brother in law died of covid over the weekend and he no longer thinks it's a hoax...

If you get sick, sue the company for downplaying the threat and endangering employees.

Gloves are pretty much useless as PPE for Covid. Your skin is already an excellent barrier, and is only a method of transmission by being a surface that moves the virus from one place to another. By donning gloves, you've simply added another "surface" over your own, said surface transmitting the virus from once place to the next just as easily.

Don't touch your face and wash your hands regularly, gloves are pointless for this sort of thing.

wild that the us governments can't entertain even for a second paying people more to stay home and not die, since the economy is going to crater anyway

The only thing making businesses and governments even attempt control measures right now is the fear of litigation. As soon as any kind of virus-related immunity passes, the suffering and death will be entirely within acceptable bounds.
