skategal Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 WRT gyms....Club 16 where I go (very infrequently these days as I workout mostly at home) requires masks whenever you are in the facility. The requirement changed when the new restrictions came in a couple weeks ago, prior to that it was wear a mask while moving around in the gym. In the two small corporate gyms I work at, we require masks anytime people are in the facility. The fitness studio I was going to has basically shut down and moved to online classes. The owner is considering giving up the lease on her space as its a cost she can't afford to continue paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will celebrate new years one way or another to kiss this mess good bye Needless to say...i'd get my strong dose of people in prior to new years. They should proactively shut down Christmas and New Years then. Pound that message home with media blitz, enforcement and fining every houseguest (i.e. Quebec at $1000/guest). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is the message to spread though. I don't think we should join the people who are ignoring the order because there "could be" future shutdowns....this would only ensure it. And getting our dose of "people" could give us a dose of something more so I'm reluctant to jam in visits with anyone until it's safe. My family and I are all going to miss Christmas this year....virtual only. It sucks...but it's the responsible thing to do. If there's a 4-6 week shutdown we can thank all those who do get a strong dose of people through the holidays. Let's be responsible and do our part to avoid that. Let's remember...when they shut things down it's in response to huge out of control spikes. So stay home, avoid people and get the numbers to keep going down, not up! If we don't WANT a shutdown, we should be avoiding people prior to and throughout New Years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know that has had it is fine and it feels like a mild cold Tell that to the people who have died. If you had half a brain you’d realize that this virus doesn’t discriminate and will kill you just as likely as it will make you just feel a little ill. There’s no way to know what will happen. Don’t play Russian roulette with a deadly disease. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone I know that has had it is fine and it feels like a mild cold Maybe it depends on the demographic of people one knows. I just had a friend in Calgary who lost her Dad to COVID. I have a friend whose brother almost died, was in the hospital for 2+ months, now needed people to crowd fund for a lift assist for his home as he doesn't have the strength to go upstairs to his second level and has had to sleep downstairs where there are no bedrooms. Not able to work anymore, no idea if or when he will be able to again. Kyla Lee (@IRPlawyer is her twitter handle) is in her 30's, caught COVID in March and is still dealing with symptoms. She just posted on Twitter in the past week that she was dealing with symptoms again. I've never thought playing Russian Roulette was a good idea, think that's what we're doing with COVID. No idea yet what/why some people get mild symptoms, some people get severely ill, strokes, organ failures, death. Age is a factor, other health issues is a factor, but there are some unexplained reasons as to why some people get so sick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stihlman65 Posted December 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) This is the face of Covid. This little girl just lost her dad to Covid a day before this picture was takin last week,and my GF photographer randomly came across her in a family photo shoot,and noticed her alone in the corner. She asked if she was ok,and the family said she was a niece that had just lost her dad.She was was with them to give the grieving mom a little time to herself. Totally randome picture,but sure makes you think about how real this disease is. Edited December 9, 2020 by blaise 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sharpshooter Posted December 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2020 There’s a doctor in the US who gave his life caring for the worst Covid patients. He slept in the hospital in April, always being on call. He contracted the virus in November. He was placed in the same ICU that he was once the chief respiratory doctor. He died there. His daughter spoke out about how he would never see her graduate with her Master’s, never walk her down the aisle on her wedding day, and never see his grandkids. That got me. If anyone can’t relate or empathize that loss and level of sacrifice, then you’re literally amongst the worst kind of human being. 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Retired ground and pound'er Tito Ortiz, is the the Pro Tem Mayor for Huntington Beach Cali. He is a tinfoil hat clown.

kingofsurrey Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 So True.... Miranda Tracy@mjt8080. Dec 7 Extremely saddened by our PHOs lack of honesty and complete disregard for schools. If it helps the economy, it stays open. If not, shut it down. Hence its only our homes, churches and events that are closed. Very disheartening. We are in big trouble here.
