Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

You can instruct people till you turn blue in the face. At the end of the day each has a life outside of work and it would be utterly absurd to believe all will always make good choices.

Hell, some will make all the right choices and still get it.
Agreed. You can’t control them. But the more informed people are the better decisions they tend to make.

The lesson here is that people need to learn to think for themselves

The result of that lesson is that when some people on here think for themselves and express those thoughts afterwards the results confirm the dumbing down of America. They also confirm the continued repeating of many previously disproved myths that had been previously presented as facts
 
Maybe you should heed the word of someone who works here and knows things about these businesses you don't. I don't pretend to know the inner workings of the dildo factory you manage.

Downtown had it coming. They were being careless. We were careful, and that's why we had zero cases. You are 100% out of your element here.

When the virus finds its way into your bar (and it will) I hope @allvol123 sends you a box of dildos.
 
Osterholm: Americans will be living with the coronavirus for decades

Michael Osterholm: Everyone is looking at the vaccine as being a light switch: on or off. And I look at it as a rheostat, that’s going to take a long time, from turning it on from its darkest position to a lightest position. If you’re anticipating a light switch, you’re going to be concerned, confused, and in some cases very disappointed in what it might look like in those first days to months with a vaccine.

MarketWatch: I saw a piece in The Atlantic this week and I thought they positioned it well. They described it as the beginning of the end.

Osterholm: It won’t be. We will be dealing with this virus forever. Effective and safe vaccines and hopefully ones with some durability will be very important, even critical tools, in fighting it. But the whole world is going to be experiencing COVID-19 ‘til the end of time. We’re not going to be vaccinating our way out of this to eight-plus billion people in the world right now. And if we don’t get durable immunity, we’re potentially looking at revaccination on a routine basis, if we can do that. We’ve really got to come to grips with actually living with this virus, for at least my lifetime, and at the same time, it doesn’t mean we can’t do a lot about it.

MarketWatch: Do you think we’re going to see some of these vaccines fail in clinical studies?

Osterholm: One of the challenges we have is: what do we mean by fail? What’s the definition? Some people right now have a view that any vaccine that isn’t like the measles vaccine is going to be a challenge, meaning they’ve got to work 93% to 98% of the time. I don’t think there’s any sense that that’s going to happen with this vaccine. That doesn’t mean that there isn’t going to be an effective vaccine at 50%, 60% or 70%. We have to keep watching for safety signals. We have to make sure that over time we can assure the public with open and transparent data that: This is what you can expect in terms of reactions, this is what might have any long-term complications.
Sure we'll be living with it just like we live with the umpteen flu and cold viruses right now. And we should deal with it the same way we have for decades. Get your vaccines, use common sense and live your life

Maybe, just maybe, this will lead to some self-reflection in the GOP. This is not a joke. Wear your freakin' masks, wash your hands, maintain social distance, and avoid indoor gatherings. It ain't that hard.

I think you need some self reflection. Washing your hands, wearing a mask etc are not the domain of any political party. You are part of the problem in that you're making this political.

It certainly shouldn’t be but is unfortunately. Who knew following a few simple rules was so burdensome? Quite frankly, the shutdowns and protests shouldn’t be occurring either
 
Y’all are confusing a few urban areas with teachers as a whole. I have been back at work and nothing has changed in Georgia with the exception of a few counties

My daughter goes to SCAD in Savannah and they won't be back to normal when they open in Sept. Classes will again be online. That's not what you want to do when attending an art school. They must have been under enormous pressure
 
Aren't you quoting the guy who propagated the fake pizzagate story?

That guy is looney.

Posobiec was one of the most prominent promoters on social media of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which falsely claimed that high-ranking officials were involved in a child-sex ring centered at a Washington, D.C. pizzeria.[7] He live-streamed an investigation of the pizzeria and was asked to leave after attempting to broadcast a child's birthday party being held in a back room.[26] Posobiec later said he had always thought the Pizzagate theory was "stupid" and had filmed his visit to debunk it.[7]
 
A non-mask advocate Herman Cain died today. He developed COVID 29 and was hospitalized after attending Trump’s Tulsa Rally. Trump didn’t know him did he?

RIP Herman Cain. Died when you didn’t need to just because you wanted to please a num num
He opposed mask mandates. He did wear masks from time to time though.

This narrative is disappointing, yet predictable.
 
If my boss, who bartended at the same place before buying it 8 years ago, who just weathered a 3 month shutdown, who just had his first child 2 weeks ago, who has paid the executive chef, bar manager, and myself through all of this can take it like he has, virtually most of us can take a chill pill.

Do what you think is best.
 
No studies are trustworthy.... they have an opinion by the person doing the study and the they work it to where it reaches the already predetermined conclusion.

Wow. No poster is trustworthy. The post is the opinion of the poster which recites the words the poster had predetermined he/she wanted you to conclude.
