Re: Coronavirus: When should we be concerned?

I’m way overdue for a haircut too. Given Nodack’s story, I think it might be best to turn to a home solution. Just buzz it with clippers. How hard can that be?

easy. depends how long you want it though. It is about 10 minutes of work, and maybe another 10 minutes of clean up depending on if you do it inside or outside. I cut my son's hair all the time.
this is criminal. I would be furious.Nodack wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 9:44 pmThings are opening up in AZ. My hair was getting long so my wife made an appointment with our stylist who just opened up again in a new place. She sent a lost of precautions and said all clients must wear masks at all times. No one is allowed if they feel sick or had the virus. She said she opened up in a place where she has her own private room away from the other stylists. I decided to risk it.
I get there and have to call her to get buzzed in like the banks have been doing. We go to her 10 X 12 room and close the door. She says she hates the masks and doesn’t want to wear one and said I didn’t have to either. I reluctantly took my mask off and she started. A few minutes later another stylist and her client come in wearing masks and her client sits in the stylist chair next to me and they both take off their masks too. So much for just us. After a little chit chatting they move to the hair washing station on the other side of me and proceed to wash her clients hair. After a few minutes of then chatting her client announces that she had Covid -19 but, was feeling much better the past dour days. He stylist stops and says “What?” “You have Covid and you are here?” She immediately made her client leave and was pissed off. Now I have been within a few feet of someone with Covid for about ten minutes in an enclosed room. Perfect.
I finished there, wiped down with disinfectant in the car, came home and got in the pool thinking I would chlorinate my entire body. Then I gargled with Listerine and took a multivitamin. All those things were probably useless against getting it but, I did them anyway. Thanks lady!
pretty crazy. We have a friend there (American living there). She is being told they will take her kids from her if she doesn't send them to school during this (they never locked down).In2ition wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 9:38 amhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/0 ... er-capita/
Sweden just became the country with the highest death rate per capita in the world.
Arizonans are fucking morons. Half of them think it’s a hoax and won’t wear a mask cause I’m not going to let the government control me and masks don’t help!Nodack wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 9:44 pmThings are opening up in AZ.

I don’t know what the environment is like in Michigan right now. But here in Phoenix you have a huge middle aged, white population that flat out refuses to follow any of the guidelines because it’s a liberal hoax (how this became political is beyond me. How has treatment -hydroxychloroquine- become a divisive issue? It’s so America and so pathetic).Indy wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 12:21 pmI am moving in 3 weeks from Michigan to AZ, and this has me shook. I see that UofA already said they WILL be having in person classes in August. That is so shortsighted. I don't get it. I mean, yeah, I get that the provost can't get paid if he doesn't get people to pay tuition, but jfc make a choice that is for the greater good, not your 3rd house.

If you ask someone to mind their distance who also isn’t wearing a mask (a dead giveaway for someone who just doesn’t give a shit) prepare to be ripped into and possibly assaulted, or coughed on intentionally.
Stay away from populated areas unless you need to or you don’t care
The entire illness, the social distancing, the masks. All of it intended to control and violate our constitutional rights. It’s completely insulting to the healthcare industry.

masks are a worldwide government conspiracy. It’s just reprehensible behavior.
I agree.specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 2:43 pmTo me this is apolitical. I hate both parties and extremists on both sides do nothing for this society but drive us further into extinction.
When you have liberals hoping hydroxychloroquine fails so that Trump can look like a fool- it’s pathetic. And Trumps statements void of any medical background or any quality evidence are also pathetic. This should not be political. It’s human. We have a duty as humans to look out for each other. Wear a mask so I don’t catch It from you and take it home to my newborn. Wear a mask so you don’t catch it and give it to your elderly family. Wear a mask most importantly to respect the employees of the stores who don’t have a choice but to come face-to-face with you.
Truth is they may be right, time will tell. To dismiss it entirely or to blow it all out of proportion are both ridiculous positions. Wear a mask, mind your distance and be considerate of others until we have more time and data to know exactly what we’re dealing with. It may not be 4%, but it is orders of magnitude worse than influenza or any other illness in recent times in the US.In2ition wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 2:56 pmCOVID-19 is clearly not a hoax.

masks are a worldwide government conspiracy. It’s just reprehensible behavior., they don't think it exists. I'm kidding.
I know a lot of people that believe it's overblown and not "4% of those who get it will die" bad.
Yeah, unfortunately we don't have data to know if it's actually orders of magnitude worse than influenza or any other illness in recent times in the US. Obviously, the symptoms and what happens if it really hits you is bad bad.specialsauce wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 3:18 pmTruth is they may be right, time will tell.
