I’ll admit I’ve relaxed (a little) compared to back in March but this is far from over. Everyone owes it to themselves and to those around them to be mindful and help mitigate risk. Anyone here could have saved lives already without even knowing it just by washing their hands properly and preventing spread.

And if you know anyone being reckless out there, smack them upside the head. Verbally of course, for now.

She told me she'd decided to take a week off to recuperate, only for us to find out yesterday she instead actually checked herself into the hospital and died last night.

We don't know where she may have gotten it, or how, but she leaves behind her two daughters and her husband, and now they are all in isolation until further notice. She was only 48 too. What a sad way to go.

Stay safe, everyone.
Really sorry to hear about that.

This is really the only thread I'm paying attention to now on RS. The other threads in this section....I just can't.....

There is a virus out there that doesn't discriminate and it's befalling a lot of people. When you know someone who's been personally affected, suddenly the world feels smaller and the virus seems deadlier. You're no longer looking at statistical graphics nor listening to heads speak on a TV. Suddenly your tone becomes less apathetic and cold you humanity kicks in. Empathy, sadness etc. ignite within you. On top of human loss, there's been job loss, businesses lost. Where does it end? Of course we'll pull through this as that's what we humans do. We persevere, we honour the memories of those who fell and we ensure no one (or businesses etc.) died in vain.

tried dining in over the weekend..took a nice bowl of soup for granted

gym app is down and booked 4 days out: probably not a bad thing waiting until later this week since a dozen new cases daily and a pretty serious outbreak at the care facility in fraserview

maybe just a coincidence but since the protests began people been getting way too comfortable

Went to Metrotown yesterday again to go to Sportcheck

fuck it is BUMPING in there.. probably 80%+ of a normal day.

also people are fucking idiots and dont follow the signs on the ground, nor do they have anyone directing them, they are trying to keep one side of the mall for going one day, one for going the other, no one is following that and basically walking into eachother face to face :/

Something to keep in mind as people start to go out in public more, and use public facilities


I wouldn't expect anyone in to comply (fuck they won't even wear masks by the sounds of it) so personally I would avoid using public toilets completely for the time being.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said Tuesday that four or five workers at a fast-food restaurant tested positive for COVID-19. She said she is not aware of any customers who were exposed.

Henry did not disclose the name or location of the restaurant.
Errr.... or maybe let people know where it is so the customers who visited can be extra careful

Just like the virus didn't give a shit what race or country you are in, it doesn't give a shit if anyone of us is suddenly "tired" of hearing news about it or being cautious. We've educated each other quite well in this thread. Let's try and do our part to not let our great efforts go to waste.

Be diligent! (as well as safe, calm and kind)

I don't know everyone's situation, but just scrolling up this page.
Seems like there's a lot of reporting of how crowded every place is...

Just playing devils advocate. Maybe everyone else in there was thinking the same thing...


What are you guys all doing going out in public areas so soon?

I’m glad I racked up enough bank time to basically take the whole summer off. 6 more work days and then I can just chill at home for 2 months and not have to worry about people getting in my personal space.

A lot of the crowds I’ve noticed have been from the comfort of my drivers seat but you’re totally right. It’s like when people talk about how bad the traffic is. But we are the traffic.

I assume most people here are wearing masks at least

If you're out there complaining about crowds and not wearing a mask...

I know (or hope) that you are joking but talking to many strangers over the last few weeks I am shocked at the number of people who truly believe that.

I support telecom technicians in the field. Who do you think has been going into these 50 story high rises surrounding Metrotown, Brentwood etc to get people’s fix of porn hub? Lol

The risk cannot be mitigated in these places and my company seems to think PPE is the first line of defence and not the last.

Take a guess, you’ve got a 50/50 chance lol

Also if any of you are the type of dickheads that demand technicians of any sort come into your home these days, be aware they are likely the most exposed people you’ve come in contact with this entire time.
