How you can catch corina in fitting room? And why some stores have they fitting rooms open? Its hard to follow stupid rules

[soleiltropiques]

Are you trolling, or are you really that ignorant?

Im medical doctor. Most of the restrictions doesn't make any sence

[soleiltropiques]

And I'm an epidemiologist. They do make sense, if you consider that their aim is to reduce overall contamination.

/yes I guess you just answered my earlier question.

[soleiltropiques]

You have my deepest sympathies. FWIW, we've got the really stupid people up here too (I live in Canada), who seem to believe a mask wearing ordinance equates to being in a gulag for some reason.

...As someone who worked in a hospital for a while pre-covid (we had to wear masks in the operating rooms, for instance) I truly DON'T understand this.

[soleiltropiques]

What I find really unforgiveable is that the people refusing to wear a mask (and to wear it properly) are literally putting your (and other people's) lives in danger.

/Sorry, I guess I've just listened to a lot of freedum people lately and just had to get some stuff off my chest.

Feel free to vent.

I recently came from reading about Nancy Campbell writing about going around maskless, and how wearing masks is "Satan's way". Sigh.....

Wow. I just... have no words in response to that post.

I suppose all I can say in response to that is to point to science (not that people like that would listen anyways) and to cases like this one...

I sympathize and empathize with you completely! I hope your manager gets his act together and if he doesn't, that you get another job soon.

I feel so bad for every American right now. The situation isn't getting any better, despite what some people say. Here in NZ, we're actually doing ok. In some ways better than ok.

As for closing the fitting rooms, I can understand. If your store can't spare the staff or the time to sanitise them every time someone uses them, then it's the best strategy.

Be safe out there. I've got friends in the US and I seriously worry about them.

Thankfully here in Australia the majority of people follow the Covid recommendations. We've had a few morons protesting about masks and the Victorian state lockdown, but that was to be expected. A lot of them were anti-vaxxers too...
