    We originally set those guidelines as well, but then reopened anyway when it became obvious people weren't going to listen and those goals would never be reached.

    If we were going off of the guidance we originally set for places to reopen in basically every single state, none of these places would be open right now.
    Let's not do pages of disingenuous nonsense. They are opening far more successful than we are, and even when they do have a surge in cases, we're talking dozens or rarely hundreds, not tens of thousands a day like America is.

    Yall need to stop acting like this virus can't be stopped and is ravaging the world with impunity. Its not, we have learned a lot and are in a much better position now than 6 months ago. Yes, even america who doesn't even have a national plan.

    NZ locked all the way down again for like a dozen cases dude. And these places are locking down again with hundreds. It sounds to me like you're more wanting to believe that they're being too heavy handed so you can keep going out and taking risky actions.

    The New Zealand leader said lockdown measures in Auckland, home to about 1.7 million people, and social distancing measures across the country that were imposed on Wednesday would remain in place for another 12 days.

    Her swift action followed the discovery on Tuesday of the country’s first COVID-19 infections in 102 days, in a family in Auckland. Since then, officials have identified a total of 29 cases, all linked to the same cluster.
    So they get a couple cases, know the source of the cases, and still shut EVERYTHING down.

    A bit excessive.

    I mean...they are. Its not like they dont know the source, they know the new patient-zero, and could easily do contact tracing and subjective quarantine.

    It's not ravaging the world with impunity. It's ravaging America with impunity and yes, we are past the point of no return without widespread vaccination.

    Sorry your desperation for normalcy has blinded you to that reality.

    They also have a plan and went over 100 days without a case.

    Youre telling local businesses to suck it up cause the feds won't do anything, which is unfair to ask of them when the government was what started the mandatory closures that got us here. No one is gonna leave money on the table or willingly go into homelessness just cause tymon thinks closing some gyms will get us to NZ levels of infection.

    We're 7 months deep into the pandemic here in America and have no plan in place for anything long-term to help support the vitamins or keep them financially supported or mentally stable so I'm rather meh when it comes to how people cope with this poor collapse of leaders from local counties to the federal level. Schools have forced people to return to campuses or lose their scholarships and grants/ tuition is still sky high even for those doing zoom classes with no assistance. Unemployment is still sky high and its been daily stories on how employers are lacking on PPE or safety measures for their employees.

    I'm indifferent to it. I do what I can and follow guidelines but I'll do the one thing that helps my mental health.

    Plenty of people are being forced back to work or school to avoid dire financial consequences; those people get a pass.

    Saying you need the gym, or a haircut, or <insert 'normalcy' activity x> to maintain your mental health when thousands of people are dying daily, in no small part because the garbage federal response is forcing people to reopen those businesses to cater to you to stay solvent and off the streets, is some real snowflake shit. Your mental health does not get primacy over the physical health of others.

    This isn't doing it right and I have a huge problem with it. Just expecting people to do the right thing is fucking ridiculous and it's why we keep going backwards. If they don't have employees making sure equipment is cleaned properly after use they shouldn't be open.

    If I saw they left it up to everyone individually I'd nope the fuck right out of there.

    nah every bigger business i see have an extra employee or two just to routinely wash door handles and other surfaces that customers touch. it shouldn't be a big deal to have a few people going around continually cleaning stuff. its just the new cost of doing business

    hell my place is near reopening and i'm going to be tripling my regular cleaning staff

    The problem in America right now is that 1 out of every 3 people you encounter in public is a fucking idiot who refuses to do the bare minimum to protect others, which means that the proper way to go safely about your life after 6 months of this, at least where I live, is to avoid situations where you're indoors with other people unless absolutely necessary.

    No, it's not. When I was still working on cars we had to let customers know something as simple as an oil change would take an hour to an hour and a half so we had ample time to clean/disinfect the cars before and after service. Mind you, the technicians were flat rate, not hourly, so they weren't getting paid for that extra time, but it was necessary.

    This guy gets it. This is why despite safety guidelines I am not going to go to gyms or indoor dining or any shit like that.

    Wouldn't you question how sanitary the rest of the building is if they're not even willing to do that? I sure as hell would.

    To have someone on hand to run from machine to machine, to freeweight to freeweight to wipe it down, while watching everyone in every area?

    just wipe it down yourself, jeez, dont be lazy.

    It's not about trying to avoid doing that. It's the fact that you can't trust the general populace to do it.

    Nynja. People are lazy. People won't even put a mask on. You're being willfully ignorant right now.
