Got the reply..

They are turning the clubs into essentially lounges. 6 people per table, proper distancing, no moving around, no dancing...

So basically drinking and music.  Guess they are there for the social gathering aspect.  Something to do.

If they break the regulations (even by not enforcing their plans), they will get shut down.  I don't think any of these businesses want to be shut down; especially if they end up being known for causing an outbreak.

 

Here's an example of Brandi's Covid plan:  http://brandislounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Brandis-Showlounge-Covid-19-Safety-Plan.pdf Looks well though out and very safe.

 

Celebrities is operating with reservations only (no walk ins).  They are allowing for inclusion of the protocols.  https://celebritiesnightclub.com/

 

I don't see the necessity of opening up lounges and bars, but then again, I never bothered with them before Covid.  I'm more of a neighbourhood pub type.   If the clubs keep people safe, I am happy that the youngins' have a social outlet that they enjoy.

Decided to grow a pandemic beard myself.  Granted, I do trim it once a week or so now.  Originally I was going to keep it until I went back to working on site, but decided to keep it a little longer as a reminder of the positive changes I have made since the lockdown (started jogging and eating better...have lost 21 lbs since the last week of March)

Good for you!

 

I hit the bottle hard so that cost me some pounds but I think I lost a bit. Not as much as I should have.

 

I haven't trimmed the beard once. It is brutal but going strong!

Bus driver is left brain dead after he was beaten up for refusing to let group of passengers without masks get on board in France

  • Attackers tried to board the bus in Bayonne on Sunday night without masks 
  • The driver in his 50s was repeately punched in the head as he tried to stop them
  • One person has been arrested and other suspects are being sought, police say

Imagine hating your fellow man so much that you beat one basically to death because he's trying to keep you and everyone else safe.

it goes to show how out of touch some people are.....this woman likely thought posting this video to social media would garner support. It did the opposite:

A Toronto woman who refused to wear a mask while seeking treatment at a hospital and was forced out filmed and posted the incident on social media, drawing condemnation from local officials, celebrities and thousands of others.

 

Letitia Montana said she went to St. Joseph’s Hospital with her son on July 4 for a “suspected broken finger.”

“You’re making me wear a mask otherwise you are going to deny me service,” she is heard saying in the video filmed at the front counter of the emergency room.

“Yes, we’re asking you to wear a mask,” a nurse replies.

The video does not show Montana being escorted out of the emergency room.

It has since been viewed more than four million times.

 

Non-medical mask use has been encouraged by health officials across North America, and became mandatory in all indoor, public spaces in Toronto on Tuesday, as a means of slowing the spread of COVID-19.

A growing body of research has shown that mask use can reduce the emission of respiratory droplets that carry the virus, reducing the risk for people who cannot remain apart from infecting each other if both are masked.

It has also spurred backlash from some, including Montana, who say they lead to other health problems and their use was mandated as a form of political control.

 

Unity Health Network said Monday that its staff members at St. Joseph's Health Centre were simply following the guidance of the Ministry of Health when asking Montana to wear a mask.

 

"This policy follows guidelines set out by Ontario’s Ministry of Health based on our best scientific understanding of COVID-19 and how it spreads. We encourage all community members to seek care when they need it. At St. Joseph’s and any of our Unity Health Toronto sites, you will be asked questions about any COVID-19 related symptoms, to wear a mask and remember to maintain physical distancing in all parts of the hospital."

 

Toronto Mayor John Tory said he thought wearing a mask in a hospital emergency room of all places was a reasonable request.

"I don’t think there are very many people who would argue with the requirement that when you’re in a hospital, in the emergency room of a hospital, that you wear a mask."

 

Meanwhile, Health Minister Christine Elliott thanked the staff at St. Joseph's Hospital for their efforts.

"I would like to thank the brave frontline heroes at St. Joseph's Health Centre and across Ontario for putting themselves in harm’s way to care for us. When seeking care, each of us should follow all protocols in place at hospitals to help protect frontline workers and other patients."

If people are going to be that moronic then perhaps Child services should pay her kid a visit and check on his well-being, poor kid.
