sweden knew they were going to have a higher toll than other places, i think the point was they were trying to prevent a bigger second wave.
*taps forehead* cant get a second wave if the first wave never ends

Yep. Pretty much. Nice to have a whole floor of a hotel to yourself though. Ha.

Not an asshole, but if you have access to masks and choose not to wear them, then yes. Masks is to help reduce the potential spread in the vein of herd immunity. Quote:
For some diseases, herd immunity can go into effect when 40 percent of the people in a population become immune to the disease, such as through vaccination. But in most cases, 80 to 95 percent of the population must be immune to the disease to stop its spread.
For example, 19 out of every 20 people must have the measles vaccination for herd immunity to go into effect and stop the disease. This means that if a child gets measles, everyone else in this population around them will most likely have been vaccinated, already have formed antibodies, and be immune to the disease to prevent it from spreading further.

I see it as anyone that chooses not to wear a mask in an enclosed space is an asshole. Especially those that provide it to you like Costco, and you still choose to not wear it.
I don't know how else to describe it except for being selfish.

I'll wear my mask if I'm going to be inside with people where I may come close to others.

Richmond has had one of the lowest number of cases of COVID-19 in the Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas - 88 cases so far. This is about half the number of neighbouring Vancouver when population is taken into account.
This translates to 44 per 100,000 in Richmond and 83 per 100,000 in Vancouver.

I was at Walmart earlier and noticed maybe only half the staff and customers wearing masks.
As I was leaving, I saw this aggressive "Karen" swearing and bitching at a staff and put her head around the safety "SD" barrier just to get more in his face. Neither of them had masks on, lol. Poor guy probably got spit all over him.

Remember not only is Coronavirus not over, it's actually worse than it's ever been...
Look back through the thread when we were wondering if it was going to become a seasonal thing like the flu

Both Europe and North America are declining in this view. | EU and NA are declining, just like the flu does once the "season" is over. Their cases go down, South America's goes up, then it goes back and forth between the two regions

Both Europe and North America are declining in this view. | Iran is experiencing a second wave and just hit a new record high in new cases (higher than the peak of the initial outbreak). Technically they’re in Asia although most people don’t associate them with Asia.

And yes, S.Asia - Pakistan, India, Bangladesh are getting hit hard now, with about 10K new cases daily in that region. Middle East is getting it too, and Philippines has yet to peak, and Singapore is still very much trying to deal with it in their inhumane housing projects.
Parts of EU are still dealing with it, especially Sweden which is a total disaster, and are learning the hard way that they very much took the wrong approach (only a fool would say that they ever took the right approach, imagine that) and Russia with another 10K cases a day
The FIRST curve was flattened, but it's not over. Protests certainly won't help, though you can't really fault people for protesting (at least for things that matter - fuck the people who were protesting to get a haircut)
