Happily there’s really nothing to report. Food was awesome, service was awesome. Seats were far apart and servers were wearing masks. Can’t wait to go back.
Vibe was missing a bit but that was more our fault since we went for dinner at 5pm like senior citizens.

anyone returning to gym already? how's the booking system working out? | Yeah that's smart especially with the protests and nice weather, lots of people be out. I really hope there is no spike.
My friend who goes to Anytime Fitness said it was pretty good, he went off-peak times but lots of plexiglass and santizers. But I've seen photos of other gyms that are not so cautious. I saw one that even had fans in front of some cardio bikes...  |

I always did community centres but god knows when they will open and how that will even work. I'm itching so hard to get back into it will probably just bite the bullet and pay for a new membership.

Went into metro today (god knows why I could have driven to a different Starbucks lol)
The food court was bumping and very hard to maintain social distancing, lots of places open.
Apple actually has 4 of their own security guards screening people outside and taking their temps before they line up: 
And Lulu killing it, as a share holder and as it’s hitting all time highs I’m happy to see this: 
Once I scoped it out a bit though I got out of dodge, only about 50% of people wearing masks and I wasn’t one of them

Speaking of temperature checks, Chambar did it. But The Keg and Cactus did not. Limit is 37.5 C
Today I went to a client's to work on site, after 3 months of remote work. Gotta say, I'm enjoying the human interaction.

Ehhh I kept my distance and didn’t touch anything, I’ve got a big beard and outside of the super fitted fabric masks the surgical ones do nothing for me
Also cause I’m HARD AS FUCK!

Today I went to a client's to work on site, after 3 months of remote work. Gotta say, I'm enjoying the human interaction. | The temperature thing:
- Infrared isn’t 100% accurate and the acceptable range can be ridiculous (e.g. Mastercraft Maximum IR Thermometer is +/- 2°C whereas my $6000 FLIR at work is +/- 2% between 15-35°C (getting worse the further you get out of that range))
- Infrared ear thermometers are more accurate (my Braun is +/- 0.2°C between 35-42°C)
- Body temperature can fluctuate throughout the day
- Body temperature increases with exercise
- Different people have different body temperature ranges
So putting a limit of 37.5°C is just silly. I’ll hit 37.5°C easily after 30 minutes on a stationary bike (which I have tested; wake up at around 36.5°C, after exercise around 37.5°C, after resting an hour around 37°C).

But really it's just to weed out the very obvious cases of fever. Nothing is going to be effective "enough" until there's an instant covid positive test people can take.
Better than nothing.. If you're running hot and can't get into a restaurant, go chill out for a bit, or try again somewhere else and hope the variance is in your favour next time lol

Joined a new gym yesterday, Fitness 2000, near Lougheed Mall.
It's good, already got in some pretty insane workouts the last few days, feels damn good to be back in the groove.
In terms of social distancing, there are measures there, but no reservations of times or any of that kind of crap. I'm happy with the gym thus far, it'll definitely suffice until another option is available. Also nice to see some Brentwood Steve Nash faces over there.

Kinda wondered why I kept seeing so many heavyset older guys walking down the hallway to the parking lot 
It all makes sense now.
I totally forgot about that spot, I remember I went there years ago to watch a UFC with some buddies, "dungeon" is quite fitting.

But I think there’s an elevator from that building on top of it that essentially exits into the back entrance of the pub lol

Coronavirus can do some serious damage! Doctors advise Nick Cordero's wife to 'say goodbye' https://o.canada.com/entertainment/c...a-1ee01f6ba1f7
Doctors looking after ailing Broadway star Nick Cordero have advised his wife to “say goodbye” as it would take a “miracle” for him to recover from his lengthy coronavirus battle.
The Rock of Ages actor has been hospitalized since March, when he was placed in a medically-induced coma and subsequently had to have his leg amputated and a temporary pacemaker fitted after encountering a multitude of complications.
He has since also suffered two mini-strokes and a lung infection, among other issues, and medical officials have repeatedly warned Cordero’s wife, Amanda Kloots, to be prepared for the worst.

Belgium is a combination of a lot of elderly live in care homes compared to other countries, and they are also very liberal with their counting of coronavirus deaths. They base it on things like "were there confirmed cases here before" and if there were, and the person had symptoms before they died, then they get counted.
Realistically, most countries numbers should be closer to Belgium's. The graph would be flatter, but they'd probably still be near the top, along with Sweden.

What about the waste that's created from the probe covers? IR temps at the moment is easier for people to accept

Went to the chatime bbt meet tonight. It was a 100% full parking lot and I gotta say I was very disappointed with the amount of people NOT wearing masks. It was packed, people walking in large groups, people vaping (which literally spreads your water droplets in a large way) and maybe 10% of people had masks.
C’mon guys...

C’mon guys... | People aren’t gonna wear masks, they haven’t from the beginning and now that it seems like the worst is over and it “wasn’t as bad as thought” there’s no way in hell the majority are going to start wearing them.
People will have to be scared shitless in order for everyone to start wearing them.
