It's absurd on this ski trip I'm on. You actually have to mask to walk into a restaraunt, but, as soon as you're seated you can unmask and drink and eat and shout with 50-100 other people in a crowded, low cieling room for an hour or more. The ultimate spreader event, the only thing worse is a spin class. That's why I say it's over. No way we're going back to masking everywhere and closed restaraunts. If you're unvaccinated, sorry, that's on you. The rest of us are back to life.
If you want to argue that the hospitals are strained, well, as I said, that's a whole other argument that maybe our profit driven hospital industry simply is unprepared for situations like this. But, nope, blame the victims. That's easier.

I dont care about bars and restaurants because nobody (except the workers, which sucks but I don't know the solution for that) HAS to go into them.
It really passes me off that people dont/won't wear masks at places like grocery stores, doctor offices, public transit, public buildings, etc.
All places that people can't easily avoid and most people don't have to be in there very long.
Have your freedumb and do whatever you want, but you really cannot be bothered to wear a mask to protect all the strangers from your freedumb for just a little bit?
And I fucking hate the argument that nobody is stopping anyone else from wearing a mask. Thats true, but when someone wears a mask it keeps their virus in, where as if they had the virus and didn't mask they'd be spraying it all over the place infecting all the other unmasked and potentially the poorly masked, too.
Who the hell isn't willing to do that for a fellow human? What the fuck is wrong with people?
And not everyone has access to good n95 or kn95 masks. They are expensive. There are counterfeit masks. Some people have a hard time getting them on correctly. Some people are old and don't understand or stupid and really susceptible to trumpism. Those people are usually higher risk people likely to end up in the hospital.
You all are fairly intelligent, able bodied skiers.
If everyone wears a mask, the amount of virus circulating is drastically reduced. That is good for everyone.
I dont understand people and their selfishness at all.

Here is Durham, the mask compliance is probably 90% indoors, and big stinkeyes and public shaming for the idiots who still won't comply. The cops are behind it and folks know if a business owner calls them they will show up and remove folks as needed.
But, step foot more than 10 miles away from a major university center... or off campus in a one college town and ya, it's a fucking joke..Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Yeah, well, if they're so smart, then who won the second world war?
The strange thing is that they make such bloody good cameras.

Only reading this page, MU and Benny opinions closely mirror my own. Like this one: "Strong work. My sentiments exactly. This country is circling the drain". While I am happy to wear a mask, in most instances I find it stoopid because everyone isn't doing it. To walk into a restaurant to immediately remove it Same thing at the dentist and on and on.
In this country I think it is every man for himself right now and you better be vaxed and try to stay in good health (I am 30lbs overweight) and avoid venues that could be spreading events. Fact is, I think this virus is only getting started. Omicron could of just as easily morfed into a more deadly and contagious virus and that is likely just over the horizon. A bunch of people in this country are going to die before it is all over, I am sorry to say. So while everyone has an opinion, it really doesn't matter at the end of the day. Do the best you can to stay safe while trying to live your life is all I got.

Agreed. It IS many factors. And really worth paying closer to attention to. It certainly goes beyond US = Fat & Japan = Not fat, but it's also waaaaaaay over-simplistic to just key in on masks too. Sure, that's likely a key component, but with or without COVID, Japan was already kicking our asses in the mortality department. Now throw COVID into the mix and we were kind of screwed from the get go. I place a lot of the blame on our disgusting lifestyles as a nation. We're kind of filthy compared to them in many regards. Shoes in the house is an easy example to pick on.

I don't recall hearing about any "Freedom" rallies in Japan.
A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

And if we accept that as reality, what then?

Late 80's early 90's we had japanese tourists by the bus load in banff. We had 200 rental bikes and most would go out in the am and then like clockwork we'd have an early afternoon shower and they'd all come back to be rented out again afyer the shower stopped. 2 full day rentals most days. Many were japanese tourists, wearing masks. We thought it must be the big city smog and they were just wearing them out of habit. Whst else could it be? Little did we know then, and apparently now

I used to see lots of people of Asian descent on the subway wearing masks, and sometimes, like during SARS I would wonder if they had been exposed or something. Now I greatly appreciate that they were being considerate, exposed or not, keeping their germs to themselves. The world is going to be forever changed because of this, and if people keep wearing masks on public transit and give up on handshakes I am fine with it.
