Members DRW50 Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 That seems to be one of the exceptions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) NYC has fluctuated in and out of lockdown depending on numbers. A lot of cities have. A lot of people I know, all over, not going out. My family in Maryland has barely been out. Edited October 29, 2020 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted October 29, 2020 Members Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) A couple of my friends are in Taiwan, and they’re just living their best lives, maskless and without any social distancing, going to concerts and comedy shows, feeding baby deer at farms lol. It’s like another world. Also: this weekend is Gay Pride in Taipei, with circuit parties and everything, and apparently you have to register to participate in the events (for contact tracing).

Members DramatistDreamer Posted October 30, 2020 Members Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Thank goodness that security guard is in stable condition and looks like he will be alright. There are some sick people out there who, no doubt, are looking for a reason to explode on someone, anyone. If it wasn't at the security guard over a mask and some hand sanitizer, it might be him or someone else over something else. Also, if these public-facing workers aren't getting hazard pay already then they should be because I doubt they signed on for this level of risk. not to mention, risk of exposure too.

Members Juliajms Posted October 31, 2020 Members Share Posted October 31, 2020 As someone who worked as a grocery store check out girl back in the day, this is a fact. I remember one woman going nuts on me because I handed her a receipt she didn't want. There were so many pissed off people who wanted to take out their life frustrations on people they knew had to take it. If you want to be overrun with the Karens of his world work at a grocery store. That was over 25 years ago, so I can only imagine what it's like now. I agree about the hazard pay too. Everyone who is working customer facing jobs should be making more right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
