D&D and the rising pandemic

In my area, they mostly didn't bother with plexiglass between tables, for a number of reasons (there were some really major questions about the effectiveness of those measures, for one thing) Instead, most local towns made various changes in ordinances to allow restaurants to have more outdoor seating.

Here it’s a government sponsored thing. If you plexiglass up, restrict seating and whatnot, the gov subsidized the cost.

Glad I live where there have been no lock downs or any mandates. Life has been normal for my family these last 2 years.

What's the local death toll like? We passed 50 deaths not to long ago.

Around here, there was no option to not restrict seating - there were mandates about what percentage of normal capacity restaurants could run at.

But, even in the city itself, it was realized that having folks eat outside wasn't hard to do. Certainly out in the suburbs, there's a lot of space that could be used.

Parliament protests: Tragedy or farce?

Opinion - Watching the anti-mandate protests in Wellington over the past week, it has been impossible to ignore similarities to 1960s and '70s counterculture. But there are also some notable differences, Nick Bollinger writes.

People HAVE had bad reactions to the vaccines.

But the numbers are minuscule compared to the numbers of people who have had bad reactions to COVID…

Speaking of which, an article on Charlie Munger’s hot take on vaccine hesitancy includes this bit of info:

According to the CDC, there’s a minuscule 0.002% chance of the vaccine causing death while approximately 5 people per one million vaccinated in the U.S. have gone into anaphylactic shock. In comparison, according to the CDC, unvaccinated individuals are at least 14 more likely to die from COVID than someone who is fully vaccinated and 68 times more likely to die from the virus than someone who has received their booster shot.

Legendary investor Charlie Munger isn’t shy about his feelings towards people who won’t get the COVID vaccine.

Supermarkets here and sometimes plastic windows at takeaway joints.

Well, supermarkets should have plastic barriers by default, no matter Covid.

It's a huge amount of contact for one person in a work day, and cashiers should not suffer at the hands(or better the mouth) of people that last time brushed their teeth somewhere around last Moon landing.

It's like some women have a bra of holding. I'm waiting for a child's head to pop out, and the woman says "that's where that's been"

I don't understand the concept of using for storage. A magic trick? " Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my boob."

Any women care to enlighten us? Here's your chance to womansplain something.

Wife says it's due to lack of pockets on women's clothing. Similar reason for hand bags.
