My Country is Reopening

Post Reply New Topic

They reopening alot of places. Are they reopening where you live?

Yes.
They call it "new normal" - I would rather prefer "long-term outbreak management".
You can't stay at home for years.
But, if necessary, you can do groceries in a face mask for years.

Yes, things are beginning to open up and return to normal.

Not yet although our Governor is saying Long Island may be able to begin to reopen next week. But it won’t resemble pre pandemic normal. Normal to me would mean no masks, no social distancing, packed trains, bars and malls etc. I think a few things are going to permanently change, while others will take a few years to mostly or fully come back.

The states that opened early should be providing plenty of examples of what to/not to do. Like this one:
A hairstylist worked while symptomatic and exposed 91 people to coronavirus
This story will be much more useful after the testing results are in.

Australian schools reopening next week
Hotels, cafes, bars
50 people can now gather together from June 1

Things are beginning to reopen here. People are allowed to have small social circles - groups less than 10 I think. Some restaurants/pubs are starting to reopen, too. I won’t be going to any of them. No loss to me, I almost never go to restaurants or bars anyways. ASD
pandemic survival genes!

~Another week and I’ll go back to work I think. Not because I think things are fine, but rather because I think people are f*****g morons and are acting as if the pandemic is over just because a few
restrictions have been eased. I basically want to make sure I have enough weeks of Employment Insurance banked to be able to stay home in the Winter for a few months when these idiots inevitably cause a second wave in September/October onwards. Otherwise I’d just take the whole Summer off to ride motorcycles and go kiteboarding. But if I did that and ran down the clock on EI weeks, then I’d potentially have zero income in the Winter if I wanted to stay home. (Unless Canada did another round of emergency funding and I qualified for it that time.) At least working during the Summer isn’t at the height of cold and flu season And people will hopefully be pretty strict on distancing and masks etc more in the beginning.. well at least I Hope people are better on work sites than in the general public.

No for supporting trump. Because doing so is deplorable.

I don’t understand how this will work, there are alot of people that won’t social distance. When hair salons do open, people have to be close to each other. I know people have to work. I wish I understand. I still don’t understand how people get the virus, is it like body heat? If two people come together, they will cause body heat or something. I don’t want to feel stupid.
