Chat Another lockdown appears imminent...

I think anything the government is doing is just so that they can say they did something and it isn't their fault people got sick or died. Hate to be so skeptical but they are just covering their asses. Next election they don't want people looking back and saying you did nothing and all those people died, its your fault.

Of course they're covering their asses. That's even a semi official acronym, CYA. But, at the same time there really is no solver bullet

The really stupid ones are the ones going to these weddings and having large gatherings. There's nothing wrong with responsible shopping or even being carefully distant in a restaurant. But events that invite close physical proximity, kissing, hugging, etc, these are stupid.

Agreed, don't know if there's evidence to back this up but I got to think weddings, funerals, places of worship, large social gatherings are the main culprit. I don't think restaurants, gyms, malls are a big issue because people are spaced so far apart. When I go to the gym, there's no one near me (just need to make sure you wash your hands and don't touch your face).

I have a feeling they dont even know how this shit is spreading so they are grasping at straws.

Well, the one thing I can think of is that at a gym, you exhale harder so that any particulates will travel further. But then, what do I know. I'm too lazy to go to the gym.

That's true but they close off a lot of the machines now so they are spaced very far apart. Even in the locker room, most lockers are closed off, the ones that are open are spaced far apart.

But I'm only talking the larger gyms. I know there was that incident (I think in Hamilton) regarding that spinner class...yeah, they should cancel those 'group' sessions. I go in, do my own thing and then leave. No one close to me the entire time...

They let you remove your mask while doing your exercise but must wear it while resting or moving around the gym floor.
What would be smarter is to only drop the mask over your mouth only while exercising so you exhale from your mouth into the mask
Bottom line we are all responsible for our actions and effects of them.

What is your exercise routine these days? I guess no ironman event for a long time...

There is no way they can keep the gyms clean and sanitize well no matter how they try. Once you exhale hard the virus in aerosol form floats around farther and the indoor air condition will circulate all those aerosol form virus all over the gym. All the masks leak, the only thing the mask do best is to prevent you from touching your mouth and nose. That's why Dr Lim said not to shout or whisper while wearing masks. He said whispering is worst cuz you get too close to other person's face and you may be breathing in all those leaked aerosol form viruses. Be careful when you are talking to your elderly parents with hearing problems even tho' you both are wearing masks.

Well, if you're worried about aerosol, aren't guys exhaling hard when they are pounding the MPAs at the holistic places?

And that little spa room is like a thousand times smaller and more confined than the gym so way less circulation.

At the gym, there's only around 20-30 people in a huge open space and usually there's only a couple of people on the cardio machines that are breathing hard. Most people are using the machines or free weights.

Funny enough, after my session the other day, the MPA started spraying disinfectant into the air...man, can't be good for the MPAs to be breathing that shit day in and day out.

I agree with what you are saying that the ones making these decisions are looking to stop the super spreader events I am still looking for the data to back up the decision they make. I know there is the example of the spin class in Hamilton and I believe a wedding in Vaughan. However, if we look back to the Brass Rail incident, they said up to 500 people could be infected, but I believe the number turned out to be around 4, but I could be mistaken and it may have been a little higher. I know in the US when South Dakota decided to hold the Sturgis bike rally which has thousands of people show up there were some people forecasting over a million infections, think there have been around 10 confirmed that were at Sturgis who got diagnosed with covid and it didn't say they caught it there. There were the kids who went partying on the beach in Florida and everyone freaked out about and I believe there were 2 cases from that event. Another event in the Ozarks and that one I am not sure if anyone became infected.

Then we can look at bars and restaurants. Before they decided to shut them down in Ottawa they had 3 cases over a 12 week period, during that same time Toronto had 27 attributed to the bars and restaurants.

If you want to see where the super spreader events are taking place, look no further than the long term care homes. It was announced that 32 people died in Toronto yesterday, 29 were over the age of 70 and of that 26 were residents of long term care homes.

I think they are focusing their efforts too broadly and should do more to protect the long term care and retirement residences.

Brass Rail folks all gave fake ID... we know some transmission occurred, but impossible 2 trace most of ‘em...

Two-thirds of Brass Rail patrons exposed to COVID-19 provided fake contact information

Of the over 400 Brass Rail patrons who may have been exposed to COVID-19, only one-third provided their real identity and information for contract tracing. Toronto Public Health confirmed to CityNews they were only able to directly reach 157 of the 441 patrons who had attended the establishment...

...but hey, lotsa COVID in T.O. since then... just appeared outta nowhere... we were down below 50 cases/ day in August...

Sturgis? Single reason US midwest is reeling now... they’ve linked dozens of cases directly 2Minnesota alone: 🏍

Sturgis motorcycle rally in South Dakota led to a Covid-19 outbreak in Minnesota, new report says | CNN

The motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, in August has been linked to a Covid-19 outbreak in Minnesota, according to a new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, highlighting how one state's lax rules during the pandemic affect others with stricter measures in place.

...2b fair, dunno how much was known when u posted...

————————

My guess? Any mpa working inToronto since July = either immune (naturally or through exposure) or really damn lucky...

... must c 100 (6/day x 4 days/ wk x 4 wk/mon) different promiscuous dudes/ month, 5 mos later... Id guess punters a bit more likely 2b infectious than dudes who don’t hobby...

...so seeing mpa safer than TTC ride... or grocery store visit... & geez, essential service, right?

You are missing the common sense here. You are one on one at the spa. she may have seen 6-7 guys a day, if she hasn't came across any asymptomatic guys , your chances of getting infection is still very low.
In the gyms, you have 20-30 guys breathing heavy, so many guys coming in and out all the time and more chances of having some asymptomatic guys in crowded gyms. And the air circulating all the time carrying aerosol viruses. Hence the super spreader like spin city gym in Hamilton. Crowded places in indoor facilities are worst, such as wedding halls, strip clubs and bars and busy restaurants. Most of the super spreaders came from those places.
There is risk every where, you have to know where is more risk. I might take a chance kissing a girl at the spa, but I will never step into a gym at this time.

S
Same Christmas is cancelled with the fam/friends. Sad man but this the world now. I agree some won't listen regardless of what Dougie ford and the government say.

If Lockdown happens yep spas are closed for sure. You can go to an incall they will still will be available. Many agencies and independent girls stopped working in march during the first lockdown. Wonder how many girls will be doing incall if we lockdown again

What will people do without sex when there is a lockdown and Covid ????

You are neglecting the fact that the MPA may have also come into contact with the virus outside of the spa.

You have a vested interest in keeping the spa full. While the risk may not be the same as a gym it is certainly greater than getting it from a hair cut.

My observation at gyms is that maybe 5% of the patrons are actually breathing hard. Most people just go through the motions just for toning up.
Equipment is wiped before and after each use.
Spin classes and such is a different story. 10 people breathing hard while in a cardio session which is impossible with a mask which would be useless is a cesspool for whatever anyone is carrying.

Asian MPAs and majority of Asian people take more seriously in dealing with virus and they do their best to protect from getting infected. Hence less risk.
I had my hair cut 2 days ago and I told my barber to stop talking cuz i don't want him leaking his breath hovering over my head even tho we both had masks on.

Gyms on the other hand has aerosol form of viruses circulating through the air conditioning system all the time and you are breathing in. Wiping and cleaning gym equipment help clean droplets, that's all. Can't do anything to stop viruses floating in the air in the gym.

My main concern is crowded places like gyms, bars, wedding halls and so on.
Watch out for the next 2 weeks case counts. Crazy crowd at York dale malls and Eaton center. I won't be surprised if it goes over 2000 cases in a few weeks after those people are tested.

Question is where was this virus hiding the last 4-5 months. Has it been dormant and undetectable in many people?
