It's been a week now since I went back to work and honestly I don't mind wearing the mask. I've acclimated to it and it's nice not having to smile at people. Absolutely none of our customers give a poo poo that were in the middle of a pandemic. Makes me wonder why I'm going to so much trouble to sanitize everything when we've had exactly one customer come in with a mask. Just an endless parade of fat disgusting hogs waddling into here howling and demanding their margaritas and molten cheese to fuel their 250-400 pound bulks. I loving hate Americans.

Xaris posted:yeah i'd probably stop giving a poo poo about sanitizing things at that point myself Mandatory or we get shut down. It's not like I have anything better to do right now as it's still kind of slow. I'm going to see if I can get moved to back of house for my next couple weeks of shifts.

The masks aren't perfect protection, but that's not the point, nothing is perfect protection. Anything that reduces/filters this thing makes it less likely to spread and slows it down. It's why we're sanitizing the gently caress out of everything even though surface contact is a low-likelihood transmission vector. Every bit helps, it all adds up.

I'm so loving sick of cleaning all this poo poo only to watch waddling hogs lumber into the place and spray spittle everywhere. Why even loving bother. If we're going to get the 1.5th wave can it hurry the gently caress up.

Thoguh posted:Skull or anybody else working in restaurants... Are you busy at all after being open again for a while? Green Bay: busier this week than last week but still at about 30-40% of our usual nightly crowd. we still haven't seen any of our dining regulars with exception of a few. I think tonight and tomorrow night we might get a full house though (well, full, taking in account we cut max capacity by a third) patio dining is more popular than it's ever been and our dedicated patio servers are getting really stressed out trying to handle them all while the two inside servers are standing around talking with their masks off

in retrospect April was way too early to bust out the "space between lightning and thunder" thread title just had my first covid nightmare this morning after 2 weeks back at work. the surreal feeling of watching all these idiots go around as if nothing is happening while daily rate growth is curling back up is really hard to square

I just don't see how we actually continue, this is like a zombie economy with half of everyone not going out, and the other half putting themselves at high risk of getting a disease that puts them on their rear end for 4-6 weeks

mastershakeman posted:This is what we all thought was happening in may and it didn't work for whatever reason I think the problem was we thought the lockdown basically paused things and that when we reopened it would immediately resume the type of growth we saw in March after we'd gone 6 weeks with zero restrictions whatsoever that wasn't the case, there needed to be another period of uncontrolled growth before it could go exponential again. But this time we still have a lot of people staying at home, a lot of people wearing masks (even if most people aren't), a lot of people sanitizing everything, etc, which is going to slow down that growth rate and make it take longer to reach March 16th-31st levels of growth It's entirely possible that this takes another 2 months to really get back to that initial period of explosive growth We know a few things for a fact, though:
COVID isn't remotely over, we're just currently in the lull that the "lockdown" bought us

Tonight at the restaurant has been mega slow and last night was slower than usual, even taking in account reduced capacity and business ever since we reopened. I've been here a couple years now and I can't remember the last time we had a Saturday with only 2 interior tables as of 5:45. Everyone is mystified. It's either people are scared if the protests or the novelty of going back out is wearing off vs. the threat of covid. I'm probably going to be sent off work early tonight as there just isn't anything to do. Gonna rule watching Congress refuse to bail out people even as there isn't actually any more work to do and Bernie's unemployment benefits (which I never loving got) ends!!!

Ardennes posted:I guess the question is beyond incubation time, why there seems to be a month lag between openings and new cases? I assume they are just sitting on cases for a week or two. It's not an on/off switch, after reopening there's a lot of people coming out of lockdown who are clean of the plague, and fewer people wandering around carrying COVID. Gotta have a few cycles of infect-incubate-communicate before it starts flourishing again

jettisonedstuff posted:There was some chart from a month ago that showed most patients being admitted to ICU about 11 days after symptoms started, and deaths typically occurred about 19 days after the onset of symptoms. If you add the average of 5 days of incubation you're looking at just over 2 weeks to see the spike in hospitalizations and 3 1/2 weeks to see an increase in deaths (which we probably won't see, because they're going to classify a lot of them as blood clots, heart attacks and pneumonia or whatever other thing they're going to write instead of complications from COVID-19). well that's what I meant by the comment about the on/off switch: you aren't going to see instant communication on day 1 of reopening. the petri dish got nuked, it takes time for the culture to regrow for people to spread COVID they have to have it in the first place. it sounds tautological, but if you're coming out of lockdown you presumably don't have it, so you have to go somewhere to get it, and I would say the vast majority of people aren't getting it day 1, a tiny bit fewer on day 2, a less tiny bit fewer on day 3, and so on. then you take in account that the servants are sanitizing a lot more surfaces than they were before, and that mask usage has gone up, and that a lot of people are still staying at home despite the reopening... the "spike" will take a lot longer to play out and is going to be a lot less dramatic in many places that aren't completely defiantly stupid like Texas

we had someone come into the restaurant tonight with their own bottle of sanitizer and a ragcloth. she wiped down the entire table and all the seats before sitting her family down. (we sanitize the gently caress out of these tables in between customers, but whatever). she wasn't wearing a mask. none of her family were

Paradoxish posted:does anyone actually do this? I do but I'm already accustomed to wearing the mask all the time I also avoid talking to people and try to avoid people talking to me while I have my mask off. I used to eat at the bar all the time after work but now I eat at one of the booths in the corner as far away from people as I can manage. I have zero faith that this is going to work though given where I work, I'll get this stupid virus sooner or later.
