JM_ Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'd certainly go once everyone in my family was vaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know how many people outside of long term care homes have died from it in Canada? Just over two hundred. A lot of fear mongering going on here and it’s working. People are so afraid of this that they will never be the same again about going out in public. The only thing that should be getting focused on is the long term care homes. Everything else should be up and running and surviving. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do appreciate the honest answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was treating it more like THE BOYS (& girls) ARE BACK IN TOWN exciting hockey news threads than one of "those" covid threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, even then, I'll likely keep my CANUCKS mask on for some time. I imagine, at least initially, things'll be spread out a bit. But the idea of being packed in a stadium is a big no for me until it's deemed absolutely safe. She definitely isn't an easy nut to crack but I like that...I'd rather have someone who's proactive than lax in all of this. I feel she's done a great job for the most part. Not perfect, but has navigated this pretty well. I am a big Bonnie Henry fan, but i tell my wife every time we catch her on the news, not only does she make sense, but she is perfect to fall asleep to. Often those afternoon updates lead strait into pregame nap time for me, haha. As for masks: I think I am very firmly with the Japanese of the last several decades now in that I will be wearing a mask in public for the rest of my life. Not like walking down the street, but at a packed arena? YUP. It is now firmly part of my culture. haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a good idea. I honestly freak out now when I hear someone coughing and I don't know that I'll ever be ok with it again. I have a great "collection" of masks and I intend on keeping them.

Primal Optimist Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 ^ I am army trained at a lot of things, and sewing is one of them. I made my own triple ply masks with my wifes machine when i heard the Jump Company of the Canadian Armed Forces was doing their own at work too. check this out! For those that think masks aren't 'manly' or what not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those that think masks aren't 'manly' or what not. I was lucky....my neighbour's mother in law made us a bunch, too. 3 ply with a filter pocket. I also bought 4 boxes of disposables (for me and the fam). Bought the Canucks "set" at Sportchek. A few for charity. My workplace just reimbursed us for mask purchases...so went and bought more. I'm well stocked and think of them as a new "accessory", that's all. You get used to wearing one pretty quickly and it's really not that big of a deal. Not sure why people find it such an issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for all the people who choose to wear masks to make it a social justice brigade against us who choose to live normally after this, and all of you know its coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with the good folks in Tokyo for decades, I think after we are all vaccinated, or like a very large majority of us at least, in the post-covid world, you will just see people going about their business, some with masks, and some not. My families business places will likely insist on them for in person patronage, similar to the no shirt, no shoes, no service signs that we are all familiar with and don't argue about. Other business owners likely will not keep so strict a rule, but I am sure it will be very peaceful and free to choose by those in charge. Parents, owners, individuals, et cetera.

From what I've seen in the past year I think there will be a fair share of Karen's screeching conformity to keep wearing masks. Don't forget this was a response to the biggest worldwide health emergency most of us have and will ever see. To each their own I guess. I personally won't patron businesses that try to enforce masks when this is over. I was under the impression that mask wearing in Japan was more of a social courtesy for anyone feeling sick, to prevent mass spread of every simple cold and flu... in the most overpopulated country in the world. Not really a valid comparison, but whatever fits the narrative, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When this is over it'll be up to everyone to decide...I'm expecting most won't wear masks and will live normally. I plan on it, just will take time to fully trust that this is, in fact, "over". And my Canucks masks will just be showing my support for my team, that's all. I kinda like them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
