My wife and I do everything according to the PHA recommendations... and we live on the island where there is zero known active cases. The moment we, as a collective society, let up from the progress we have made is when the 2nd wave will hit us.

An accumulated list of a few needed products. Decided to count who had masks and who didn’t. I counted 465 people walking toward me. I did not bother with the other side of the street, or people who were behind me. 292 did not wear a mask. 173 had a mask on. About 63% of people are not wearing masks. Down from an estimate of 90-95% three weeks ago, now, 37% wear masks. (edit) obviously the numbers were corrected lol Edited June 22, 2020 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really sorry to hear about your Grandparent...it's horrible to be kept apart during times when we really need to be together. My sincere condolences.

(adding in people you saw on tv attending the trump rally is unfair ) Edited June 22, 2020 by coastal.view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 could be a touch of dyslexia, as the individual numbers in the total are fine, just in bad order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew it was coming but didn’t make it any easier. I managed to get one socially distanced visit on Mother’s Day when she was out of hospital but it sucked nonetheless.

The word I had most trouble typing was "results", where I got the "ul" reversed to "lu". I didn't go over so well on a report card when I was trying to say, "You're daughter could have better results if....." and, I reversed it. Sigh.... My last trip, so far, to the Principal's office!

I think the worst part of the covid crisis is that the very elderly that only have a short time left with family.... can be stuck in care with no visitors... This is so brutal for them and their loved ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people are covering up inside when social distancing cannot be guaranteed? I went to Save-on last night(BC) and I say 33% had a mask on. I noticed a lot of people think we're in the clear and that's simply not the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I taught in a program where I printed out a certificate for every course they finished while in the program. I was horrified to find out for lord knows how long I had been handing out Certificates of "Competion"... ...the irony in the typo was not lost on me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
