Yes, that's right, pubs and restaurants and cafes will soon be reopening, under guidelines provided by BC Health, and the kimmo will be out on a patio drinking rum out of a coconut before the end of the month.

oh my - weren't you the one who whined because members were hurtin' your fee-fees over your misplaced bar-hopping emphasis? Given there seems to be real concern/trepidation coming from restaurant associations and individual restaurant/bar owners about opening up:
- under strict reduced capacity constraints... to the point it may not be financially feasible for some
- that it may be too soon to open given significant doubt the general public is ready to trust their personal safety in the face of uncertain risks
- that, notwithstanding impacts on capacity limits, physical distancing requirements have the real possibility of causing widespread plexiglass barriers to significantly change the "vibe/feel" of an establishment... to further reduce member kimmy's perceived bar-rush!

instead of your exuberant zeal over getting back on your favourite bar stool, your fellow member bros were hoping you might weigh in on the "new reality" of what opening actually means... to owners and patrons!

What about it?  What does some yahoos in the US have to do with phased reopenings in Canada? Why are you so eager to conflate the two?  What's your agenda here?

clearly a most inconvenient image for you - yes? The point was to emphasize how many will outright ignore presumptive opening restrictions... regardless of what country. C'mon, we see it every day right now as it is, with the most ignorant and uncaring people oblivious to the need to adhere to restrictions now - let alone with the beginnings of phased openings.

They're already open in Winnipeg because our numbers are at zero. I can even go get a haircut or a massage. Most people still aren't interested in going though because they don't want to spread the virus and kill their families.

Apparently, some hair people don’t think it’s safe to open their industry in BC.

Hairstylists and Barbers are members of the Personal Service Industry, where social distancing is not possible.
 We are calling on the B.C. government not to include hairstylists and barbers in the first phase of economic reopening.
 
 Our government has made incredible strides in controlling the spread of COVID-19 and must understand that a decision to reopen salons first would put our communities and economy at greater risk than benefit. We hope that businesses who operate in as close proximity to the public as nurses continue to remain closed at this time.

Well it wouldn't be the first time I've had to cut my own hair. Last time was while I was stuck way up in the high arctic with a job that just wouldn't end, so I whacked away. The funny part was when I did get back south and into a barbers chair and he asked me who cut my hair last time. Apparently I botched up the back pretty good.

3000 people die on 9/11.  Crazy people be like:  "Let's blow up the middle east and torture people".

70,000+ people die from COVID.  Crazy people be like:  "I want my haircuts let's go back to work"

BC document regarding reopening:

https://www.docdroid.net/xFkCLI4/bc-economic-reopening-plan-pdf/

Including SCIENCY LOOKING GRAPHS for the waldo in regards to modelling. The waldo and his crack researchers can evaluate that section; I'm just a former waitress and wouldn't understand any of that guy-stuff anyway. tee-hee.

Best of all:

Yes, that's right, pubs and restaurants and cafes will soon be reopening, under guidelines provided by BC Health, and the kimmo will be out on a patio drinking rum out of a coconut before the end of the month.

Coronavirus: Germany, South Korea report new cases as countries ease restrictions

In South Korea, where a decline in new cases had prompted the government to loosen up, Seoul shut down thousands of nightclubs, hostess bars and discos after dozens of infections were linked to clubgoers who went out last weekend as the country relaxed its social-distancing guidelines.

Many of the infections were linked to a 29-year-old man who visited three nightclubs before testing positive.

Not in the least.

The point was to emphasize how many will outright ignore presumptive opening restrictions... regardless of what country. C'mon, we see it every day right now as it is, with the most ignorant and uncaring people oblivious to the need to adhere to restrictions now - let alone with the beginnings of phased openings.

People who ignore restrictions will continue to ignore restrictions, but businesses that want to reopen will have to respect the rules for reopening or they'll be fined and shut down. 

The notion that phased reopenings will cause mass demonstrations of yahoos is ridiculous.

We had one of those anti-lockdown rallies here, under 10 people showed up.  They couldn't even raise enough people to constitute an illegal gathering.

People are already going to the beach.  Our chief provincial health officer was encouraging people to go to the beach. She wants people to go out and enjoy the fresh air. It's good for you.

I suggest your clear phobia of, as you keep referring to them, "sciency looking graphs"... stems from your inability to ever rise above/beyond the mightySquirrel POS software!

That you persist with that line of trolling says a lot about you as a person, and what it says is not flattering.

In any case, you managed to find a presumed gem in that document but, more importantly, have ya been able to save yourself over your earlier big-time failure in regards interaction versus mobility reduction?  ;D

The failure was yours!  You sought to counter the BC ministry of health's data regarding contacts by posting a graph depicting mobility, and when your blunder was pointed out to you, you went on a pout about having not been provided with BC Health's methodology.  That you're now attempting to spin your oops into a triumph is the most ridiculous, most waldoish thing possible. Keep patting yourself on the back for your imaginary triumphs, loldo! "Self high five!"

Open up doors to businesses and also make sure you widen the doors to your hospitals. Texas has already shown how that works.

quit making shyte up! This is exactly what I stated:
the waldo trusts the data and analysis is there; however, my crack research team hasn't found it... sure, sure, the Google COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports are readily available, but just how has the B.C. Health Authority used them to arrive at that current 30% level of interaction figure?

there was no, as you say, waldo counter attempt, there was no waldo blunder, there was no waldo pout. What I most certainly did... and have subsequently done repeatedly, is to highlight and emphasize you haven't a clue as to how that claimed 30% interaction figure was arrived at. And you still don't!

most pointedly, you blindly accepted that 30% figure while claiming there was significant latitude to extend upon it... to the implied point that you'd be back on your favourite bar stool in no time. As for the mightly Squirrel, the waldo is having second thoughts that you'd even be able to master it!  ;D

quit making shyte up, hey member kimmy!

member Shady, is this more of what you keep calling "panic p*orn"?

Video from Japan aims to show how easily germs and viruses can spread in restaurants when just one person is infected.

As simulated, the video shows 10 people coming into the restaurant, with one singled out as the "infected" person. Each participant goes about the buffet as they normally would, not considering a potential contamination.

At the end of the video, the participants are cast under black lights illuminating where the "infection" has spread.

The substance, used to signify the germs, can be seen on food, serving utensils and platters, and even on the faces of some of the participants.

anti-vaxers were always present in the protests against 'lockdowns'... but now showing up with greater numbers and a more focused/organized assembly. From a Long Island, New York protest - yesterday:



ya ya, Bill Gates - a veryBadMan! Imagine, refusing to take a COVID-19 vaccine during a pandemic!
