My mom brought it up with some friends and it turns out that Helicopter rentals/rides are way up. With the Canadian boarder closed up for travel, people are bypassing it by flying into Buffalo this way and renting a car to travel elsewhere. We are never going to get things under control if shit like this isn’t clamped down. I was in downtown Toronto on Monday for work and are in lockdown, but about a third of the folks coming off the subway were without a mask and security didn’t do anything. I'm tired of this shit and peoples ignorance. Now if I could get a good fucking sleep I would feel a lot better Wait what. The border is closed yet they can get across via helicopter?

Oh, that makes more sense to me that it's Canadians trying to go south, I was confused that the Canadian authorities were tolerating it with Americans trying to go north (I took it as Americans were hopping a helicopter over the border and then proceeding to points north).

Littleronin Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Between Carson City and Reno we surprisingly have a solid medical infrastructure (it takes care of things into Truckee, CA and whatnot). I know Renown has started to use its parking garage as a temporary hospital wing. I haven't heard much from Carson (their hospital is pretty large even by Vegas standards), but if local hospitals aren't sending patients out I think it is safe to assume that they are at or near capacity also. EDIT: And man I missed the right thread to post this in. It a mod can/would be kind enough to move this over to the CIVID thread that would be awesome. I must have had multiple tabs open and crossed the streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jwheel86 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Welp, my mom, who's my main caretaker, went in 5 days ago for an EKG (she had a mild heart attack 4 years) and got exposed to COVID by the nurse doing the EKG. Thankfully my girlfriend is back so we're holed up in the Guest House waiting for test results. No one has symptoms. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Funny enough the Canadian Government just did a national emergency broadcast test today around 1pm EST.

thewhyteboar Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Korea just had the highest number of cases since March. Just anecdotally, it seems like people have stopped taking it seriously. I see crowded bars and restaurants, no masks. Cafes now have to go to takeout only. Restaurants have to close by 9 pm. This is worrying because it's not tied to one big thing, it's a bunch of people not being careful. The spikes in March and the summer were linked to a stupid cult and right-wing nut jobs. This recent increase is just groups of friends hanging out without precautions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 WWW.TAMPABAY.COM Quote A Publix employee died from COVID-19. Now his family is suing over his death. Gerardo Gutierrez, a Publix deli employee in Miami Beach, asked to wear a mask to work when the pandemic began. But Publix said no, according to a lawsuit filed by his family. Although the Florida grocer would eventually flip its stance and allow employees to wear masks, that change came too late for the 70-year-old father of four. He was already at home sick by the time Publix allowed all of its employees to use them. Gutierrez died alone from complications related to COVID-19 in April. His adult children could only say goodbye to him over a video call. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
