Popular Post Warhippy Posted March 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2020 1 minute ago, Jimmy McGill said: Had to go to London Drugs today to pick up my in-laws prescriptions and a few grocery items for them. I noticed that there was a long line up at the till and almost no one using the self-checkouts, so I just used a pencil with an eraser to touch the screen and got out of there quickly. Good thing to carry for the self-checkouts. #pro_tip I loudly, with my kids standing with me explained why I was using one of their free disinfectant wipes to clean the handles of the basket I grabbed at Safeway. I loudly and very poignantly pointed out that the older couple who came in directly behind me didn't and why it was important too. I then loudly pointed out that said couple was standing way to close to my kids in the self check out line and that people selfish enough to not even wipe the handles on their baskets shouldn't be standing near my children let alone other people. Honestly, oldnews is right. It's folks like that in grocery stores that will screw us all and I've no issues in calling them out 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is bringing disposable gloves for the baskets and carts. Its easy if you have them, and you don't leave anything behind for anyone else. You can go out safely if you follow the rules and use your noggin. And of course limit it to what you really need to do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another idea is I usually just bring my own reusable bags and use that instead of a basket.. nobody touching those but me : ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to get any kind of gloves right now (I had a few pair but they're gone). I use the hand wipes that are provided at some stores but I don't wipe the handles, I wrap them around the handles to hold them with. Love the stores that have them...although I'm avoiding stores as much as possible. Do have to pop in quickly today for Dad ... cringe at the thought. I took a hilarious pic of my boss holding a meeting with a client out in the parking lot...standing 6 feet away from each other. At one point, both on their cells. The new normal for awhile.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NucksPatsFan Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Not public news. I did hear this from a very reliable source who is working the front lines. However, I do disclaim again that this is not public news so believe it or not. There's a fairly large community outbreak in North Van among the Iranian population. Lions Gate has set up a satellite site strictly for this community and anyone that's been in contact with them. True or not (heard it from someone assigned to work at this site) it's great to hear some quick, proactive measures being taken. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For gloves try the doggy poop bags. They are cheap, and work just fine. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just socialism for certain companies (corporate welfare/bailouts). Not sure if there is an actual term for it, but we more or less believe in "personal socialism". Basically, the help should only be there for when I need it, and screw everyone else. Don't help the greedy, profiteering corporations because they're all crooks. Don't help the poor, welfare recipients either, because they need to learn to take care of themselves. Just help people like me, because we're the only ones who really deserve it. I guess "selfish socialism" would be a more appropriate term for it. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Scary news out of California. 56% of Californians is around 25 million people. That’s what they’re projecting for infections, in the State of California, in the next 8 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking, it would be a great idea if stores would hand them out/sell them at the entrances. I would really like to buy some gloves but, besides being in self isolation, I would need to go to a store to buy some....bit of a catch -22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so many people are for certain going to have the virus, then we all need to stay clear of the high risk people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what they’re projecting for infections, in the State of California, in the next 8 weeks. Plenty of experts are predicting anywhere from 30-70% of the population to get it. How many are asymptomatic and how many are severely affected is an intimidating topic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
