https://covid19.ca.gov/industry-guidance/ People accept a certain amount of risk when going on planes. People should be mandated to wear masks at all times. Families can cohort together, but there should be a space between strangers. A negative COVID test performed within the last 48 hours should be necessary to fly. Frankly, they should do a basic antigen test right then and there.

i'm not opposed to being that guy, or entertaining that guy from time to time, but this thread really ain't the place for that. this is more serious.
if you want to have fun, there's automatic car washes and aftermarket wheels.

I give people at least two rounds before I call them out on it or ignore them. Suspicion of troll doesn't mean I shouldn't take their questions seriously.

On the other hand, many people who may seem like they are trolling may actually not be trolling. Some are willfully or accidentally ignorant. Some live in their echo chambers, so their questions seem more obvious, but like a fish out of water or someone facing culture shock, they have yet to be exposed to a point of view that is not in their narrow spectrum. Then again, sometimes people just aren’t that bright or are intellectually lazy.

It is a disparate experience for a lot of us. Most people I know who died are twice removed. Neither my wife nor I have had any income hardships.
Whether the actions and ideas I take are statistically supported should not override the misery so many are acting on through actual covid infections or economic hardship. I try to keep that perspective when I hear people complaining about gov over reach in shutting down businesses that might be transmission and acquisition hot spots. This all sucks. It might suck more for the next dude and letting him air his might all that needs be done. However, the next dude or myself also might be a bigger asshole than yourself. So GTFO and all… |

Well, its been 24+ hours since I got my second vaccine dose. The injection point is sore, but not as much as with the first. I don't believe I've had any other reactions.
Of course, that in itself concerns me. I was expecting a little reaction to it.

Of course, "knowingly" is the key. If you know you are infected with COVID and then knowingly put others at risk, I could see that happening. If you just aren't following mandates then you would be subject to whatever punitive damages are built into the mandate.

Second, even though planes may have HVAC filters, the problem is inhalation of viral particles before they reach a filter and can be filtered out. This article describes studies at Purdue University showing how particles can spread on a plane, and reach people before they are drawn into a filter: https://www.businessinsider.com/vide...navirus-2020-4 https://www.businessinsider.com/evid...flights-2020-9 Airflow within a confined space has a great deal to do with the risk of infection, and how far viral particles may travel. We keep hearing about '6 feet of social distancing', but there's nothing necessarily magical about about 6 feet of distance. SARS-CoV-2 particles don't magically drop dead after traveling 6 feet. Infection can be spread over much longer distances. A recent study showed that infection can happen in a restaurant with just 5 minutes of exposure and at a distance of 20 feet from an infected person: https://jkms.org/DOIx.php?id=10.3346/jkms.2020.35.e415 https://www.latimes.com/world-nation...g-for-covid-19 The bottom line is, people gathering in enclosed spaces is a recipe for infection. It's as simple as that. Masks help a great deal, but they're not perfect. The more time a person spends on a plane, the greater the risk of becoming infected.

"In one of her Twitter posts, she says “post-covid lungs look worse than any type of terrible smokers lung we’ve ever seen.”
“Everyone’s just so worried about the mortality thing and that’s terrible and it’s awful. But man, and all the survivors and the people who have tested positive this is, it’s going to be a problem,” Dr. Bankhead-Kendall said." Source

Sorry for jumping into this thread but for those that have argued that the efforts should have been focused on keeping the vulnerable out of the line of fire (lock them up!) and letting the rest of the hopefully 95% of the population continue on with commerce, lifestyle etc. I'd like to relate a scenario.
Firstly, acknowledge that any significant percentage of the population that wants as little disruption to their daily activity will keep propagating transmission among the so-called less vulnerable majority population until everyone is infected. There will be a certain number of unexpected fatalities and quality of life harm done. And with propagation of the virus, far greater likelihood of further mutation of the virus, possibly creating a variant without vaccine effectiveness. Vulnerable people in care facilities require outside assistance, and individual needs vary. For example, my father stayed in his room as per lockdown but needed someone to ensure he was taking insulin and meds daily. He also had someone help him shower several times per week. His meals were delivered to his room. He still became infected some time between Dec 23 and 26. The symptoms were intense by Dec 29 when he was taken to hospital. The infection comes from outside and spread to my father by the people that assisted him. Whether they changed PPE appropriately from person to person or not, knowing there was an outbreak, whether people that worked in these facilities were exposed by the huge percentage of the population that admitted to not following protocols during the holidays. Or, buying Christmas gifts in the mall because it is open, and inadvertently picking up the virus and bringing it into work as a result of others spreading the virus. So if you will ONLY protect the people that are vulnerable then you are required to protect the people that care for the vulnerable too. And these people go home at the end of their workdays. Even if they are the most compassionate and caring and careful people, there is no protection for them, therefore no real protection for the vulnerable. They have families, travel on public transit, have room mates. How do you stop it? It is far far better to extinguish the virus wherever possible than allow it to smolder forever. Somehow, somewhere somebody became too casual in the chain of protection for my dad and for that reason we buried him yesterday. Note: even though he was old, he wasn't sick before the pandemic. Yes the lockdown and inability to see family and move freely affected him terribly, but in the end we were unable to protect him from Covid19. I have heard that argument to lock up the old before. Ironically from a friend of mine that loved Trump. Not common among Canadians. Sorry if you own a business that will become insolvent as a result and how does that compare to becoming...dead? I have seen several people in public indoor spaces with their noses above their masks. I trust nobody.
