The thought that they will be fine, or are not worried if they get it, yet have trouble thinking about the fact that even if they are tough and not worried, then they should at least be caring enough for others to understand that it's not about themselves. My favorite conversation was with someone who got angry that they should wear a mask and stated something to the effect of “oh, right! And should we wear masks when we have the flu or a cold too???”’(sarcastically) and didn’t know how to respond when I replied “yes, absolutely. People in Asian countries like Japan have done that for over a decade now and it’s reduced deaths from influenza. It’s about protecting those around you.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 First time I'm actually kind of glad that I don't have family in the area anymore and neither does my girlfriend. She's coming over and we're just going to have a 4-day slumber party with approximately 2,487 old school Horror movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I’m a little surprised that my mom’s side of the family voted to not have the big family Thanksgiving. Normally a good 50+ people descend on my cousin’s house in rural Kansas for 2-3 days. I wouldn’t go even in non-pandemic times, since I can’t really get away from work during the holidays.

Fizzzzle Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yeah, we had already had a 10pm curfew on bars since June. It didn't really do anything. Now we're probably completely closed again until the end of the year. The only difference between this lockdown and the last one is that grocery stores actually seem to be staying open their normal hours. Last lockdown, all the grocery stores were open like 9-6. I was like, so you're forcing everyone to shop at the same time during a pandemic, brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CayceG Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I think I'm going to take this weekend and really keep an eye on the numbers and consider whether or not I'm going to have thanksgiving with my family or not. It would be me, my brother, my mom, and my 94 year old grandfather Thursday, then me, my brother, my dad, and my dad's girlfriend the next. But my dad will be attending one on Thursday I have no information on. I'd be staying at my mom's house both nights. I don't know if I'll be exposed between now and then to bring it home. I don't know if my brother or mom will be exposed. The gravity of the decision is finally hitting me, I think. I'll be able to make a better decision come Monday.

silentbob Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 The new restrictions should be interesting for when it comes for me travelling to these areas for work. Wonder if my stores will get busier or quieter, but my traffic should be lighter at least. Already seeing panic buying on store shelves and parking lots like Costco are filled to the brim. It gets busy like that, but usually only on the weekend when they use police to help direct traffic. I wonder how long my area of Halton will stay in the Red Zone before they initiate lockdown again. At least I have my PS5 to get me through this. . . . and a ton of weed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
