when I was still working I'd use hand sanitizer after every customer and I have (currently under control) eczema on my hands that never actually flared up with constant hand sanitizer use, if that helps any

when I wore gloves I'd sanitize them too

one of the main reasons, other than the aforementioned eczema, that I like to wear gloves is to keep stuff from getting under my nails. I have a nail scrub brush and all, I still wash my hands after wearing gloves, but it's helpful.

I assume most people don't worry about either of those things and they also throw their gloves on the ground when they're done

All the gyms around here are open with reduced capacity but 'masks optional' which is the stupidest compromise possible because it's no different than just saying no masks required in an environment like that.

CT Horror Story. I have been working from home since the start of March and am not going back to an office until October at the earliest, and I needed to get a desk and an office chair since working from couch has been causing awful back issues. Made the mistake of hitting IKEA on Monday afternoon. Sweet gently caress, it was just unbelievably bad. I had no idea that was their first day of OPEN ER UP. There were people on every fuckin inch of the floorspace. 100% mask compliance, between people bringing their own and IKEA handing out cheapies at the door, so there's that, but almost nobody made any attempt to observe any kind of distancing. I got out of there as quickly as possible and I never want to leave my house again. Just teeming throngs of fuckin humanity. The staff looked unbelievably demoralized and many were in tears.

Also my 68yo mother in law quit her part time job at TJ Maxx. This was supposed to be the first week she went back in but she spoke to a couple of coworkers who basically described the IKEA situation to her and she was like "yeah, nope, gently caress that. I'm high risk to start with, everyone in America is dumb and lovely, and I'm not paid enough to risk the rona."

Lol at a country where people in their late 60s have to work.

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

Are you serious? I mean, I don't have kids, so I don't really know. We did daycare until I was maybe eight or so, and then I was old enough to 'babysit' my brother after school. If I was a parent I'd rather be available, but I also think we were old enough to be fine, and people gotta work.

I’ve been privy to some meetings with the Federal Reserve and there is a critical shortage of coin in the supply chain as a result of Covid -19. The US Mint is taking a reactionary position to notifying the public, rather than proactive. coin supply is being rationed to Financial Institutions in the US beginning today.

that was the local state department of health, not "the media"

the nytimes has published a shitload of "holy gently caress cases are rising fast" data graphics and visualizations. they did the best reporting to date on the uncounted deaths.

their current headline is "FLORIDA AND TEXAS REPORT RECORD HIGH DAILY CORONAVIRUS CASES"

100% guarantee you that non-Fox news media will be jumping at the chance to cover the juicy story of skyrocketing cases and death

Why would you stop wearing a mask and go to a bar just because things are declining?

Bruce Hussein Daddy posted:

I'm actually fine with wearing a mask at all times in public and never going to a restaurant again but it's an interesting thought experiment.
