Shutting down Amazon

[Session 5]

Tonight at midnight in Toronto, due to covid outbreaks. The plant has 5,000 workers and has had 617 cases of covid 19. 40% of these cases have broke out in the last week. So Ontario Health is shutting the plant down for 14 day's as all employees will isolate..

Yikes.

 

[CoyotesGator]

Wow.

Makes mask free Texas seem freaking brilliant.

It's been notoriously lax in protecting employees.
But besides being 150X more contagious than the flu...that can tell you something.

I hope that Texans have the good sense to keep their masks on and stay out of crowded places.
Otherwise it will spread everywhere and thousands of people will die, unfortunately.

 

[Cadorman]

We have one of the huge Amazon distribution centers a couple miles from my house. You couldn't pay me enough to work there.

Not a chance. Governor there has totally dropped all restriction. Masks not required. No social distancing. No limits on indoor dining. One of the two MLB teams have gone all in for attendance. Full crowds. And there’s several more states that have dropped all restrictions.

Another major outbreak on the horizon...
I mean, what's it going to take for people to learn?

 

[dmatthews]

Holy carp. That's a bum deal all around.

Yep. And not just Texas. Iowa. South Dakota. Both those governors have basically flipped the middle finger at the CDC. With these new variants shooting across the county. People are going to die that don’t need to. Stupid is as stupid does.

I am and will for the foreseeable future, too much at stake to be careless now.

Our governor is a special kind of callous.

Yep.

My wife and I have both shots in our arms. I’m old and she’s a teacher. We plan on masking up anyway for the foreseeable future. It’s just the smart thing to do.

 

[Cadorman]

I find that I'm pretty good at shunning humanity. As long as I have Boo and can harass you guys I am just fine being alone. I talk to myself anyway.

Harass away. We’re all here for each other.

I enjoy not having neighbors close.

 

[iblive]

I get that. While we have neighbors we can’t see them when leaves are on the trees. We’re completely surrounded by timber and wet land

It's nuts, especially over the last year. Now people are even more used to shopping this way.
