    basically what I decided at the end of the day, it’s all just so fucked up

    i got into it with my dad for posting this article https://sebastianrushworth.com/2020/08/04/how-bad-is-covid-really-a-swedish-doctors-perspective/ in our family text chain

    Which is just some Swedish blog of an unpublished doctor with zero proof of credentials. These old people just don’t know how to evaluate information in the internet age

    my son is getting married the 5th went from 200-250 people in June to 10-20 outdoors in September. We will all be wearing masks and it will be outside but I wish he’d either do an online ceremony with just a witness or postponed it again. He is my oldest and everyone in attendance has been careful and isn’t at risk (his grandparents won’t be attending) I just can’t imagine not attending.

    At least they’re wearing mask, the only mask wearing occurred inside at the church after that it was a free for all, reception was outside but still

    With something of that size, you could probably get away with spacing and you'll probably know the crowd enough to trust them to begin with. That would be impossible with a crowd of 200

    Not excusing it but it will be small everything outdoors and everything with masks. Like I said I’d prefer they postponed everything again but I guess they just want to get it over with. I think they are planning a big reception when things are better/safe.

    My wife is upset that we aren’t going to go back to Arkansas for my nephew’s birthday party. No one attending will be wearing a mask and there will be no distancing all inside of a house with our newborn. Sorry, but that’s just not worth the risk.

    Just fucking great to hear my neighbor two houses over again let his 24 yr old son throw an all day party for him and his closest 15-20 pals in their backyard. Mind you, this has become a 2-3x weekly occurrence. No masks. No social distancing. Beer pong with shared cups and all.

    When I asked him over the weekend from a distance what he thought about his son constantly having so many friends over during the pandemic, he said COVID is "nothing more than a bad cold." This is rich coming from a chain smoker. So dumb.

    75 COVID-19 ‘situations’ already in Fort Smith Public Schools, one campus temporarily closed
    School has not started and Fort Smith Public Schools has already had to close one campus and has had 17 cases of COVID-19 reported. FSPS Superintendent Dr. Doug Brubaker told the school board Monday (Aug. 10) the district had to temporarily close the Adult Education Center because they had one positive case and 11 close contacts who are now in a 14-day quarantine.

    “All told there have been a total of 75 COVID-19 situations tracked in the last month that we have worked with (Tracie) Mathis, our point of contact to document with the ADH (Arkansas Department of Health),” Brubaker said. Read more here.

    I didn’t realize they were going to actually care about exposure or someone testing positive. Sounds silly but I figured they would just power through like assholes. The plan the whole time was to shut down if someone got it? Why even open?

    alright, let’s reopen but if anyone even comes in contact with one of those positive FREAKS then we shut it down and wait 2 weeks. We will do this all semester.

    Look, if Putin made COVID in a lab in the depths of Siberia and then planted it in Chyna, but then it got out of hand and now he's seeing that his puppet is likely to lose without some divine assistance, it's only natural that Russia has the first vaccine out. If it works, that means my premise is true, too. Word doc this post for later.

    Watch what happens when a fake government agency threatens an essential worker with a lawsuit

    [​IMG]

    Stores nationwide have implemented safety precautions, including mandatory masks, to protect workers and shoppers from the novel coronavirus. Those opposed to these regulations, despite research proving the effectiveness of face coverings, continue to refuse wearing masks often making scenes in stores that are caught and shared on social media. Frontline workers are risking their lives each day with the possibility of contracting COVID-19, only to be met by these ignorant shoppers.

    But the harassment doesn’t end there. Anti-maskers are taking their resistance to another level—falsely impersonating government agencies to legally threaten essential workers. In a viral TikTok video, two women, without masks, can be seen claiming to represent the “Freedom to Breathe Agency” while telling a grocery store supervisor in Orange County, California, that she could face legal action for requiring people to wear masks. Identified as Lenka Koloma, one of the maskless women and founder of the organization, said that they were “making sure that people’s constitutional rights, civil, and federal laws are not broken.”
    The incident took place on Thursday after Liz Chavez, the supermarket’s supervisor, was informed by her colleagues that two women were in the store without masks. Chavez told BuzzFeed News that she deals with individuals who refuse to wear a mask amid the pandemic on a daily basis. She noted that despite clear signs in the store and a state mandate requiring masks to be worn in public, customers frequently argue against wearing masks. "They just give us all sorts of excuses for why they shouldn’t wear one," she said. "It happens all the time, I don’t know why it’s such a big deal. We have to wear them for our entire shift, they only have to wear them for the 10, 20 minutes they’re in the store."

    But while she has experienced dealing with a number of customers who refuse to wear masks, the women she spoke to were different, Chavez said. "I went up to them like, 'Hey, in order to be inside the store you’re required to wear a mask,'" Chavez said. "They told me, 'No, we’re not required to wear a mask.'" The two maskless women wore badges that said “FTBA” and claimed they were from a government agency.

    After Chavez told them that they must wear a mask in the store, they handed her a piece of paper that claimed she could face legal action for requesting people to wear masks. Chavez’s colleague recorded the exchange in which Koloma can be heard saying: “You personally need to take this to your manager because you personally can be sued for this, okay? You are putting yourself into major legal liability—you personally.”

    According to BuzzFeed News, the paper said that Chavez could go to prison for up to three to five days in addition to facing a fine of $10,000 should she tell them to wear a mask without being a doctor. "They weren’t there to shop," Chavez said. "They honestly were probably just waiting for somebody to come up to them and ask them to wear a mask so they could do this."

    The “Freedom to Breathe Agency” or “FTBA” is a fake agency that has previously garnered attention amid the pandemic. In June, the group was given a warning by the Department of Justice after it distributed “face mask exempt” cards. The cards claimed that wearing a mask not only put people at risk of mental and physical impairment but also violated rights granted to them by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). “Wearing a face mask posses a mental and/or physical risk to me. Under the Americans with Disability Act (ADA), I am not required to disclose my condition to you,” the cards read, according to The New York Times.

    The Department of Justice confirmed that the cards and organization were both not endorsed by or affiliated with the Department. “Do not be fooled by the chicanery and misappropriation of the DOJ eagle,” U.S. Attorney Matthew Martin said in a statement. “These cards do not carry the force of law. The ‘Freedom to Breathe Agency,’ or ‘FTBA,’ is not a government agency.” With no website or location, the “agency” allegedly operates through a private Facebook group page.

    While she declined to disclose what the medications were, Koloma told BuzzFeed News that she and the woman she was with "both have medical, health conditions and also religious beliefs that do not allow us to wear a mask.” In support of her argument that Chavez could face a lawsuit for telling someone to wear a mask, Koloma compared an essential worker telling someone to wear a mask to someone impersonating a medical doctor.

    When asked if she was impersonating a state or federal agency, Koloma denied the allegations and argued for the agency’s legitimacy. "That’s absolutely false because we are a legitimate organization, we introduced ourselves as FTBA, the Freedom to Breathe Agency. There’s nothing illegal or fraudulent," she said.

    While California law requires customers and employees to wear masks in public, many states still lack this health order. This puts essential and retail workers nationwide at a double risk, one of contracting COVID-19 and the other risking harm from individuals who retaliate against safety regulations employees are asked to enforce. "I just want to say people really need to be nice to these grocery workers, we work our butts off during this pandemic," Chavez told BuzzFeed News. "Just give us a little break, it’s just our store policies, we’re following the rules. We don’t need to be attacked every day."
