D&D and the rising pandemic

[Dannyalcatraz]

Yep.

I have to say...m honestly surprised a Texas. For all the obviously strong streak of...”independence“...I’m seeing most of the people here are still taking the pandemic seriously. Most are still going masked, despite Gov. Abbot’s ending of protective measures. Only a few businesses have taken down their pandemic signage.

A lot of buffets still operating as such require masks AND gloves to go the rough the line. And yes, they supply them if you don’t have your own. Hell, some of my favorite family-owned restaurants here are still delivery/take-out only.

Here's a lovely tidbit. My town apparently, according to the town hall anyway, has 9000 senior citizens living in it. The town requested 3000 shots. They received 1000.

They basically had a, first come, first serve feeding frenzy and 8000 residents having no idea when the next round is coming.

Well they opened the travel bubble here earlier in the week to great fanfare.

Demand was a lit less than anticipated and flights got cancelled.

And there's been another Covid leak in west Australia so no travel bubble there. Our friends kids went to Perth to see dad.

And there's going to be a concert soon and they're anticipating 50000 people's. We've had it good comparatively but sometimes makes you wonder.

I wouldn't be travelling anywhere overseas until 2022 at the earliest, probably late 2022 and I wouldn't be allowing concerts that size.

there's a few more unmasked in my local HEB. Kroger is worse for that. But yeah, every place I've been has still got the signage up. Which admittedly is a short list of places.

Here, we have signage up for 25% maximum capacity in even critical businesses and non critical are curbside only. Makes getting into somewhere like Wal-Mart difficult unless, like me, you prefer to go at 7:00am when the place is a ghost town even during better times.

Public holiday +school holiday+weekend few Aussie accents floating around with the travel bubble.

Giraffe feeding time.

My favorite Aussie quote of the day "where's the Kangaroos".

With international acts basically unavailable it's sent this band into the stratosphere. World's biggest live act atm.

It could boost transmission by 1000x.

Of course 1000x 0 is 0.

If it makes you feel better, in 2021 more US citizens have been have been killed by gender reveal parties than by the COVID vaccine. As long as you can stay away from any overly excited expecting parents, you should be safe.
