I have a few n95 masks I've stockpiled over the years from work. I also have some lower grade masks I scored back when I worked mowing grass. Then I have surgical mask for myco work.
I look for my bandanas yesterday with no luck. Super pissed because every one looks awesome.
I've been out maybe 4 times since March the 14th 2020. I only went out because of necessity. I bought pretty much everything I needed thanks to asnate but I did forget a few things but not really super essential. The washer went out so I had to get another. Mom pees on herself so I couldn't wait for the part to fix it so I'll fix it once the part comes in and sell it once rona is gone. New washer is pretty sweet though. Super quiet. Lowes is taking precautions and I like it. Walmart is gonna kill everyone.
Told my parents once we get to certain number of rolls of tp I'll start washing my ass with the water hose to conserve. I've already been hiding the fact I've been skipping meals. I like drugs and my mom likes food. I've caught her a few times breaking rations. We had a talk yesterday so hopefully she understands. My dad bieng a dick about everything but what's new. He wont hardly help me do anything because he is mad he cannot drive because he had a siezure. He blames me and mom because we called the ambulance.
They put us on a 9pm curfew. Me and a few fellow ATV and dirt bike riders have planned a ride through. Gas station got held up by a finger pistol. Maybe 5 or 6 people have been robbed in the parking lots of store for the items I'm guessing. Maybe money.

I said quite audibly, "Wow, they say Canadians are so nice but no one here seems to give a fuck about anyone else." It was like watching soldiers fall in line. Then I do my business and get to the register. BECAUSE I was wearing PPE she steps back, already being behind plexi-glass(she didn't do this with the last customers who weren't wearing anything) and is like "AE yOU SIcK!??!" I smile and say no. She puts my shit through while giving me apprehensive looks. Then I go to pay and she's like "You know you're only supposed to wear those for 10 minutes at a time, because it creates mildew that will make you sick." There was such an obvious projection of condescension it made my stomach turn. She said some other shit but was literally trying to tell me not to wear PPE. I was just like yep yep okay oh ya thank you. We're fucking doomed.
Yeah canada is totally fucked. If there is a more serious pandemic we are completely fucked. If I wear a mask at the store I get the dirtiest fucking looks. I think it is actually kinda beneficial though because people assume you are sick for some reason and actually honour the social distancing rules. Of course if you don't have a mask on, every fuckwit in the grocery store breaks the 2 metre rule.
Ontario government is still telling people not to wear any masks. I don't understand this.
If there is thousands of asymptomatic people that could accidentally cough or sneeze, touch surfaces, etc, how the fuck does wearing a mask not help?

The government's are lying.
Wear a mask in public if you have them. I wanna wear a bandana at home just for gp. They dont have what they say they have. They dont know what they say they know. I trust some of the users in this thread with my life more than the gov.
Trumpy bear tells us not wear a mask last week and to wear a mask in public this week.

I found this pretty scary, and read an article recently that the same has been ongoing at many nursing homes in italy. I wonder if the numbers for italy will ever be adjusted?
From worldometers
Quote:
NOTE ON FRANCE DATA:
On April 2, France reported 884 additional deaths that have occurred in nursing homes over the past days and weeks [source]. The French Government did not include these deaths in their official count, as their count only takes into consideration deaths of hospitalized patients. Following international standards of correct inclusion, our statistics will include these deaths, and will add them to the April 2, 2020 count following the attribution criteria of date of report.
If and when the French government determines and communicates the correct distribution of these additional deaths over time, we will adjust the historical data accordingly. A similar issue took place on February 12, when China reported an additional 13,332 new cases in a single day due to a change in how cases were diagnosed and reported in Hubei.

The US will be fine though, Kushner is on the case:
Quote:
“I have all this data about I.C.U. capacity,” Kushner reportedly said. “I’m doing my own projections, and I’ve gotten a lot smarter about this. New York doesn’t need all the ventilators.”
Quote:
Politico reported that Kushner, “alongside a kitchen cabinet of outside experts including his former roommate and a suite of McKinsey consultants, has taken charge of the most important challenges facing the federal government,” including the production and distribution of medical supplies and the expansion of testing. Kushner has embedded his own people in the Federal Emergency Management Agency; a senior official described them to The Times as “a ‘frat party’ that descended from a U.F.O. and invaded the federal government.”

Honestly, I don't think NYC does need 30,000 ventilators. That's a shitload. Maybe 15,000

Masks aren't that useful unless everybody wears one. That would solve the problem much more quickly. That and mandatory handwashing when entering any stores, pharmacy or grocery store.
I go out with a homemade mask and goggles. It might not be full protection, but it keeps me from touching my mouth, nose or eyes.
I got stop being lazy and wash my groceries. I'm in the canadian hotspot city for coronavirus...

Is Starbucks thought of as just a white thing? Because here in Dallas I see as many black, Hispanic, and Asian folks walking around with Starbucks cups as white people.
For the record I think Starbucks is massively overpriced and equally overrated. I've been there twice in like the past 5 years and each time I was taken there by someone else.

Which will certainly happen, as rural NY does not have even close to the amount of medically trained staff to deal with the numbers they'll be facing, even if they had the beds and equipment.
In Northern NH I forget the exact number but there's something like 20 ICU beds total, but reportedly only enough staff to keep up with half of them round the clock.
