Really this is the absolute worst time to be complacent. The risk has literally never been higher. Sure it's tiring after all this time but really we have been so incredibly lucky until a fortnight ago. Now's the time to actually step it up.

I respect those who are encouraging more vigilance but I do wonder at what point the halting of activities must outstrip the harm of the disease. I seems to be mostly a matter of managing foreign entries then hitting hard once that fails rather than shutting down life. I think at some point one must figure out how to safely conduct things rather than abstaining or the show must go on.

Officially or unofficially
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

What's the rumours on the streets about deaths?

Totally agree, although I’m probably not exactly leading by example myself. However, the outright smug carelessness that seems to be prevalent the last few days is definitely dangerous. Especially young people are trying to outdo each other with IG and FB posts showing them partying in packed places, full gyms (yes, many are still open!), always complemented with the customary “f*** Covid” or the cynical “we are soooo afraid/smiley face” texts.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 3:25 pm Really this is the absolute worst time to be complacent.

The fact that the country has breezed though this pandemic with relative easy seems to make people far too complacent. I have personally experienced the impact of such behaviour in other places during 2020.
That virus is now very firmly embedded in the community, they found another 50 cases this evening, and things really don’t look too promising.

On the other side of the pond, me and missus are taking this quite seriously. We’ve gone to double masking as per recommendations. Not yet face shields in public. Now people in the village are now testing positive. Expect quarantine and food hoarding coming soon.
We’ve sent older sister funds to procure more rice and dried fish before the markets run out. She has so many mouths to feed, bless her heart.
Please be safe out there everyone!

I don't mean to be rude but I find this new thing quite ridiculous, many countries were able to effectively manage the thing without such a policy or idea. It seems like far more people have a problem even abiding in or correctly utilizing basic common sense like washing hands and wearing a mask at all that people wearing two masks won't help.newkidontheblock wrote: ↑Wed Mar 10, 2021 3:18 am We’ve gone to double masking as per recommendations
