> My Roomate works on set for a network. He/everyone he works with are required to get rapid tested before they step on the set every single day. Anyone he comes in contact with on set has passed the same rapid test.<p>> I bartend. Im constantly surrounded by people who deem dining out for pleasure to be a smart choice during a pandemic. This group consists roughly of 20% responsible people who take outdoor dining rules seriously, 40% Covid truthers who take a weird pride in breaking the rules, and 40% people in their 20s/30s who think the rules don’t apply to them because they are invincible. And that’s before you even add the effects of alcohol to the equation.<p>> Neither me or anyone I work with was ever provided with a Covid test by management or even asked by management to go get independently tested.<p>> One of these things is not like the other. I understand this bar owner’s frustrations but “extremely controlled production sets are allowed to be open/eat food so why aren’t bars open” isn’t exactly sound logic.<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/k6y5f5/bar_owner_in_los_angeles_ca_is_livid_to_see_that/genp97b" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/LosAngeles/comments/k6y5f5/bar_owne...</a>
Then perhaps she needs to spend some time screaming at the idiots who <i>won't take precautions seriously</i>.<p>We didn't have to be here. Covid keeps spreading because enough people simply won't take the commonsense actions. Put a damn mask on--especially when visiting people.
Should be. lockdowns should be total or none. Masks are stupid and honestly have so little evidence supporting them it's pathetic, and the lockdowns have two champion countries and everyone else is statistically insignificant when you compare with their annual expected flu response curves
There's only been around 20,000 Covid deaths this year in the under 55 age group this year. The under 55 age group is 80% of the population.
That's less than car accidents.<p>So this is a disease that is very low risk for 80% of the American population.<p>They have a right to be upset.<p><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/" rel="nofollow">https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/</a>
