@Dezzy Ah, I'm sorry to hear about that. My condolences as well. I can understand you having difficulties with this. No matter how old grandparents get, or any loved ones for that matter, we'll always miss them anyway.

Have you guys noticed the discrepancies in alot of these rules at restaurants? Like for example i noticed burger king flat out doesn't allow people to use the touch screen coke machines but wendy's does. I went to one pizza hut in my town and they'll let you sit right in the lobby and wait for your pizza for take out but another one was completely locked up not letting anyone inside. If you're gonna be so mixed up on the rules what is the bloody point?
Speaking of making no sense why are people so worried about wearing masks when they aren't also wearing gloves? Everything you touch could have the virus on it! How is covering only your face gonna save you? It's no wonder this crap seems to have no end in sight!

It can't infect you through your fingers. It can only go in your eyes, nose or mouth. So a mask is more important, because you can always just wash your hands as soon as you get home, before touching your face.
@Dezzy Then there's the folks that are continually touching their cloth mask, the kind that doesn't protect them in the first place. Or the folks that don't cover their nose with it.

People in my country are consistently going more and more stupid over this.
Like, invading a hospital to 'rescue' infectious dead bodies, people gathering by the hundreds to buy pizza on discount, narcos claiming they'll kill ten doctors for every death in their family, and getting violent towards doctors and sanitizing staff because they don't want them to go infect their community levels of stupid.
Like seriously, there's people who genuinely think the doctors and/or government are actively killing or infecting people because "the disease is fake, and they need the numbers'. That silly.
@Dezzy You've got that backwards: masks are the LEAST important. Most important are social distancing and washing your hands. Masks are ONLY useful for keeping your infected breath to yourself, in places where social distancing is difficult or impossible, such as in stores or public transport.
There's SO many things that can go wrong with these masks, such as people not wearing them the right way, not having masks of the right material, wearing it for too long before cleaning it or replacing it with a new one, and then touching their dirty mask with their hands, and subsequently touching surfaces which other people can touch, who might then touch their own face and so on, and so on...
So, in that respect, you definitely CAN get infected through your fingers, just by being in contact with an infected surface and then touching your face.
@Eel Seriously? That's always one of the possible answers of people who don't think things through.
With how things are standing now, sadly enough, the death toll is actually COSTING countries instead of it earning them money...

Jesus. There seems to be nothing I can do. I can tell my parents that email forwards are horses**t till I'm blue in the face, and days weeks later, they send me another bulls**t email. Like today, my mom forwarded me an email saying Nobel Prize Winner, Professor Dr Tasuku Honjo says covid has to be man made because natural viruses can't spread or be that bad.
It's just insane. I just can't believe these are my parents.
@Dezzy Yeah, dezzy, they've been saying for a while a vaccine can take 12-18 months in a best case scenario, but that bit seems to get burried by other noise. So maybe February, at the earliest for a vaccine. We officially don't have medication to treat the deadly symptoms. The virus is already here all over our country, and spreads at an exponential rate. Unless there is a miracle discovery, distancing is all we have, and it's probably going to be like this through next winter.
It's probably not "spreading" at an exponential rate in most of the country at this point though.
An exponential only "spreads" when the base is greater than 1. If it's less than 1, it shrinks rather spreads. In which case you probably can put kids on a school bus, as long as you check to make sure it doesn't cause the base to grow above 1.
@Dezzy When we carry on normal lives without distancing, and other precautions, it does spread at an exponential rate. That's what the infection rate curve does. It doubles and triples, compounds. But you're right, shelter in place, washing hands, distancing, and masks prevents that.
@HobbitGamer Is exponential rate spreading inaccurate?
Yes, although even with none of that stuff, viruses do tend to pass naturally anyway. Because they kill everyone who is vulnerable, and everyone else becomes immune.
We obviously don't want that to happen. But it's just to say that in principle, they don't spread exponentially forever (that'd be impossible, obviously. There aren't an infinite number of people)
