Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
I tell my kids that back in the day we didn't wear seatbelts. I even had a few cars that didn't have any seat belts. In a few years my kids will be saying, "I remember when people went places and didn't wear masks all the time."

Kind of like "I remember when people used to smoke indoors around other people."originalzzmfmjock wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 1:54 pmI tell my kids that back in the day we didn't wear seatbelts.

I don't mean to brag, but I just put a puzzle together in 1 day and the box said 2-4 years.

Riding on the bus today, a passenger was berating the woman sitting across the aisle from him because she was wearing a mask. Kept reciting to her all the statistics from the Internet proving that wearing a mask causes covid.

Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
What an asshole. I'd have told the guy to knock it off or he's gone. I don't have time for bullshit or fights or anything else.
Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
My own view is people can do what they like, as long as they don't force me to do it. We can't get our boxers in a wad every time covid cases rise. We have to live with this but I do agree people need to stop using this to push there warped political views, either side. As well as trusting crap they read from a FB meme. Anti-Vaxxers are just morons.

Riding my bike out on the trail today I saw a guy wearing a face mask while riding his bike. He was outdoors, in the fresh air, on a bike. What are the chances of getting any nearer than ten feet from anyone?

Back in the late 1990s, just over the state line in Ohio there was this restaurant called Rosie's, they had 2 locations in Toledo but 1 was like 2 minutes from the state line. Anyway, Rosie's went smoke free around 1997 or so.Turkeytop wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 2:50 pmKind of like "I remember when people used to smoke indoors around other people."originalzzmfmjock wrote: ↑Thu Oct 13, 2022 1:54 pmI tell my kids that back in the day we didn't wear seatbelts.

People were just in shock I remember. They stayed in business for a number of years after that, then closed both restaurants to open up a more affluent place. Ohio passed a strict smoking ban in 2006, which banned smoking from nearly every public place. Then many Ohio people came over the line to go to the now defunct MT Loonies and Michigan Tavern in Temperance Mi. Around 2010 or so, then Michigan followed suit I remember with a smoking ban.
Now the idea of lighting up inside a place is just weird. It's going to be a long time until the mask thing is totally gone but the guy on a bike outside with it on, yeah I'd just laugh to myself at that.

For a moment on a trail he’d be right next to somebody… still it’s beyond dumb
Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
I actually feel kind of sorry for people like that. The amount of anxiety they must be suffering from will do more damage to their health than will not wearing a mask on a bike path.
Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
This, 100%. I feel the same about some folks who are bent on "organic food". Sure, on some things that might make a long-term difference, but agonizing over it on every little thing has to be hard on numerous bodily systems.

Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
I don’t wear a mask outside either, but we need to respect people who are cancer patients and others who feel they do.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

I was pulling into Target the other day and some guy was wearing a mask in his car, with no one inside but him. . It takes all kinds I guess.

Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
I loved Rosie's. We used to be regulars at the Sylvania Ave. location until it closed. Went to the Italian Grille for my birthday 2 years ago and it was good, but it was more expensive than the original one. Love their Hot Mama bread.Riff Raff wrote: ↑Sat Oct 22, 2022 11:53 pmBack in the late 1990s, just over the state line in Ohio there was this restaurant called Rosie's, they had 2 locations in Toledo but 1 was like 2 minutes from the state line.

Re: What Covid Measures May Become Permanent?
I had always gone to the Secor rd location, as it was closer. The place they place they have now out in Springfield twp, I've been there once and it was very good, albeit a tad pricey.radioandtventhusiast wrote: ↑Mon Oct 24, 2022 12:49 pmI loved Rosie's.
