Harsh hon.
Seriously though, I wish people locally would get with the program and wear their masks and respect the Province’s restrictions. Cases are rising and they don’t need to be.

BC is getting hit pretty hard and has finally made mask-wearing "mandatory" if inside along with a $230 fine. There are still exceptions though so people will just quote those and get around it if they're feeling really spicy but mask usage has gone way up since they called for it so I'll take it.
The biggest thing that struck me when we moved back to Vancouver Island from the mainland in October the number of people not wearing masks was WAY higher than anywhere I had been on the mainland. I think they thought themselves immune since cases were so low and it's an island but that is quickly proving not to be the case.

I've seen it three or four times, but I couldn't tell you whether or not any of them was here.
You go to other sites??
What? No! I get other sites forced on me! FORCED I TELL YOU!
It all depends. Regular ol' feathers, not so much. Pink and white flamingo feathers? Please, no! Don't do it! Don't throw me into that briar patch!
I'm already in quarantine! I haven't seen the outside world in ages! Do you know how long 8 months is in owl years?!
Yes! Bonfires everywhere! Celebrate the Owl! The Superb Owl!
... Wait, wasn't that a few months ago?

February. Maybe.
Everyone will leave @Bubble181 alone or be put in the corner and denied seconds of pumpkin pie!
That's OK. I understood what you were going for.I'm sorry, there's no groveling at the feet of royalty reaction
Meanwhile Alberta just instituted 1000 dollar fines for any in home gatherings. Bars and such still open. Dumbest fucking province.
Someone did the math!

U.S. hospitalizations top 90,000 for the first time
" about 50 Americans are now dying every hour. "

That actually sounds a bit low.
I'd rather have Mr. Bean in charge of vaccine distribution than the Trump administration. In the first case, eventually everyone will get what they need even if it may be not what they expected. In the second case, just rich old white guys and their entourage.
Friday saw the state of Arizona hit a new high for new cases over a seven-day average, with 3,849 cases (on average) over the previous seven days. The previous high was back on July 6 when it was "only" 3,844.
The average was promptly broken on Saturday with a new seven-day average of 3,920 per day.

Two things coronavirus related from me today.
First, one of my oldest friends got Covid. He survived, but he's just now feeling better. He's a huge Trumper, no-masker (except at work where he has to), etc. He said in a message to our gaming group:
And in Nebraska news, read this twitter thread. Just...read it.

We were supposed to be meeting this Saturday for our game. We didn't meet on the 20th because his ROOMMATE was sick and I called it out of caution. Yeah, sorry, John. That's a hard pass on this weekend. We'll wait the 14 days, thanks.
