I don't why this has to be so black and white. The business I work at is considered essential. They employs dozens of workers and there hasn't been a breakout, we wear masks, gloves, try to enforce distancing, etc. Not all businesses are the same, not all states are the same, not all counties are the same. Some have worse infection rates, some have higher population density, some have larger at risk populations, some rely on their local economy more than others. Quarantining was obviously necessary but there's major economic concerns. And a lot of these essential businesses are doing a ton of non-essential work, they just happened to be the industries that were considered essential or had the resources to lobby for that status. That process was not equitable, at least in my state anyhow.
My dad is the same way. He keeps saying all that matters is taxes. He also only watches Fox News, so he only knows the propaganda they put out. It's so frustrating.
It’s turned into a republican/conservative vs Democrat/liberal thing instead of a “we need to survive thing.” The virus is thriving off of ignorance.
I've come to conclusion that my parents (and the rest of my extended family) weren't supposed to be parents.
People are fundamentally incapable of being on guard forever / unknown amount of time. We are built to get used to anything, it's basically part of just surviving reality. More and more people will start to get used to things, relax and just start to accept it at some level as life as we know it. People are going to get bored, run out of patience trying to get their ADD children off the walls, or just get horny enough they get stupid (as is how that always works and wins). You can't stop it, nobody can.
Oh absolutely. I truly believe it's not COVID-19 (I'm actually feeling really good today. Not perfect, but much improved over yesterday), but better to check as our Provincial authorities told me to do.
Good luck.
I hear you, but is this really true? Do you stop looking before you cross the street and just walk into traffic? Or like, stop obeying traffic lights and run all the red lights just for the hell of it, because you're tired of traffic lights?
I think both you guys are right, some things like traffic lights are just so subconscious at this point people will obey them. I would hope people would take important things seriously all the time, but I don't think I can give people that much credit.I hear you, but is this really true?

There are some things that are important enough to make sure that you're always on guard for, because they literally save lives. So I'm not sure this really applies to everything.
I'm not sure easy, routine behaviors are really the same thing or not, or if you are in a guarding state at a traffic light. So IDK what to think there. Of course routine should also apply to "remember to dysync your controllers" but I don't remember any tournament that a game hasn't been interrupted.I hear you, but is this really true?

That’s a generalization though. Plenty of people are willing to social distance and only leave their house for essential reasons. Like myself for example. I’ve had many many opportunities to go to parties, gatherings, etc etc. And it’s not being overly paranoid or anything like that. I just prefer to be cautious at the moment. That doesn’t mean I expect anyone else to do the same. But, I think there’s a lot of people who aren’t taking this seriously at all. I’m not even talking about staying home or wearing masks either. A lot of people aren’t changing a single thing about their normal routine. Meaning not washing their hands more than they normally do, not using hand sanitizer after leaving public places, not keeping even just the minimum distance from other people, etc. You don’t have to wear a mask, gloves, stay at home, etc. But you should at least practice SOME caution, even if that’s just washing your hands more than you normally do.
While this can be true, I think it's kind of a tricky comparison to make -- because if people were likely to literally die when players didn't desync their controllers, people would be far more careful about it. The stakes are so much higher in this case.
Mat Pat did a video on that, scientist want them to bring it back to study how people act during a pandemic and better fight future ones.
I wonder how many people were infected in the mass protests in pretty much every major city with no social distancing and 1 out of 3 had masks on.
Yup. Marinas, golf courses, and such are open here now. Not restaurants though. Social distancing seems to have gone out the window for a lot of people though.
