Nice. :) They tried something like that here but it's not enforced so it's not working at all. Shops are pretty empty around 7 AM though if you're up early, and almost ditto right before closing time. On work days at least. Seems old people mostly take the opportunity during the day while everybody's working, only everybody's not working right now, realized mid-day is no longer a good time at all...
Hope you're getting some pictures of this btw. Surreal surveillance-state-like times...
@nietzlawe yeah looking at how crazy things seem to be where you guys live I can't complain. I thought we had it worse with the death tolls if you count cases per million people though, have very little trust in the healthcare competence or capabilities here, but you guys are way ahead of us there too apparently...
Amen to that. Freedom over all, though hope you still stay away from crowd of people coughing violently. Live on to fight another day and all...
Btw S3C where's that new avatar from? Feeling I should maybe recognize her...
I got it from Instagram and yes you should recognize her
Hmmm Helena Bonham Carter? Had to do a reverse image search though, not sure I ever knew her name earlier.
she's one of the better actresses and rather attractive in a unconventional way
But definitely seen some of those movies.
Indeed she is. Interesting how the best ones are most difficult to notice. I mean: notice as an individual actor. I guess they play their roles so well you don't see them as them but rather the characters they play when you see them.
..Condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip one on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night... then you throw it away. The condom, I mean, not the stranger.
well played
never watched that movie in entirety tbh
Well I guess ya win some and ya lose some
woah a legendary Wegra appearance
Hey hey, vacation plans finally confirmed! Week 24, week 28-31, plus some yet unplanned session later in August/September. Apparently you have to bring your own face mask on the plane now or you'll be kicked off...
that soon eh?? I may have to take a sabbatical in a bit too...
Yupp yupp, as usual never really prepped for it... the season is sudden. Summer breeze with a thud in. Full sabbatical would be pretty amazing.
oh my brain marked that as May 28, I see Week 24 is July 6.
Wait what?! XD It's not even June 6 though, though technically that is the day we're driving up... wonder what calender you're using...
Not a calendar thing, just a brain err, when you said 28, I took that as May 28
Oh right the second one. My bad. First week's coming up in a few though.
But it's a nobrainerr. :P Yupp yupp. Such things happens.
Any seriousness in regard to your potential sabbatical though? Plotting any kind of trip now too? Though probably more like local self-isolation break under current circumstances.
self-isolating from social internet communities
Ah. Healthy too.
EDIT: WFH is back in some places...and it's not due to Corona this time, but riots
Working from home? it's been gone a while before this?
Heard about those. :/ Seems it wasn't because of corona either though? How's it where you are?
some people are told not to report to work because of the riots, here there is just an 8PM curfew
and no, coronavirus isn't gone, but they've relaxed the restrictions some (and the # of new cases is on the rise again)
Woah.
Hmm, as to be expected... I meant the riots didn't have any covid-19 relation did they? Though I suppose there' plenty of pent up angst and anger thereof to fuel them further...
EDIT: 100% of us are wearing masks now
It's a California law now as of yesterday. I just got turned away from the grocery store after trying to enter without a mask. Signs on stores have changed from "please do not enter without a mask" to "you may not enter with a mask per California law". Not everywhere is enforcing it yet. And I don't feel this will do a whole lot to dampen the 'second' wave (the first wave never really ended). what needs to be put into law, if anything, is mandating hand-sanitizing stations in store entrances.
The good news is, the recovery/day rate has been increasing and death/day decreasing.
Coincidentally, my last COVID EDIT was on April 9, which was the high for cases a day. Per day rates:
Cases/Deaths/Recoveries
April 9: 34243/1856/3037
June 20: 31963/550/16880
but maam black lives matter
hell yeah we do...what is the 'but' in reference to
Cyberdevil
lmao. But man... does that mean animals get it from humans too now? That we'll give it to them and they'll give it back to us? Or that they've just had it all along. All over. Not just those Wuhan bats/snakes/chickens/whatever it was.
S3C
EDIT: Grocery/Department stores have exclusive hours for seniors and high risk people now. Pretty much all old people are wearing masks, maybe 1/3 of the people I've encountered overall. Seems like the workers at these essential stores are required to wear them. They have barricades around the entrances, exits, and checkout lines with markings every six feet to ensure that people are keeping the appropriate social distance.
