Unemployment money running out buy food?
They were looking at making masks mandatory but then it was pointed out you can't really buy them.
Mandatory for planes, beat it before without them round two.
Also who you know. Wife bought a 50 pack through her work.

It also seems a lot of improvized masks don't work at all, as we probably all suspected. Wrapping a scarf around your mouth is not the same as wearing an actual mask.
Meanwhile Brussels has made facemasks mandatory in all public places.
However, some recreational facilities in Europe don't think human lives are as important as making money. Well known theme parks such as Parc Asterix do a half-arsed job at enforcing social distancing, and even make it impossible on some rides. While Disneyland Paris and the Efteling keep an empty car between riders on most of its attractions, Parc Asterix in France loads its attractions to full capacity. So you could find yourself in a water ride with total strangers, who also take their masks off during the ride, like these unfortunate souls:
And this is just one example. In fact, that whole video is a full of examples of social distancing and masks not being enforced on any of the rides. Why would people even go to a themepark right now? If anything, people should be avoiding places with lots of people. And yet the Dutch beaches are also crowded right now. People are so stupid.

Speak for yourself I'm a cynic. We're overly evolved self aware monkey's with nukes and social media.
Nukes are probably safer.

Welp, we had a bit of a hump here in Japan over July and into August, but, it looks like it's plateaued out and cases are falling again.
Again, I have no friggin' idea why Japan isn't swimming in corpses, but, apparently we're not. It's frankly terrifying. I've been teaching live f2f classes since May now as have most of my non-university colleagues and, well, it appears that things are fairly well under control. Sure, we're not New Zealand, but, it's not exactly a runaway problem.
Went out to a new restaurant with the family yesterday. First time I've sat down in a restaurant in months. Felt fantastic. Great roast beef sandwich too.
On the plus side, was talking to my folks in Canada. When the quarantine lifts, they're advertising round trip flights Toronto to Tokyo for 500 USD. With guaranteed cancellation. O.O I've never seen that particular flight for less than 2 grand with discounts. Hell, the domestic flight from Tokyo to here is about 300 USD. LOL.

You don't seem to be contradicting him in the slightest.
Humans are still frequently dominated by cognitive pathways that aren't rational, and people with agendas have learned to manipulate that.
As usual, the USA raises the bar on stupidity and violence.

Have not seen a return of that yet here, but we are not in the same situation Texas is. My state has been pretty consistent ever since 'reopening' however. I suppose that is what happens when only part of the state enacts mandatory indoor mask wearing for a couple of months while the rest doesn't believe there is any problem (a little hyperbole there).
Yep!As usual, the USA raises the bar on stupidity and violence.
