OT: The Funnier Side of Tragedy: Memes and Such

I noticed someone in front me at Loblaws sans mask...when it was my turn to pay, I brought it up with the cashier and her reply was "I didn't want to deal with it". I don't blame her.

The maskless lady then went on to line up at the internal Starbucks, so I pointed her out to the security dude on my way out.

Boring story, I know, but the fact that this was an odd sighting for me shows how much compliance there is in Toronto.

As an aside, I was hanging out with someone who owns a resto in Prince Edward County, and they have their fair share of complaining Karen's over there.

Only place i have seen non mask people is dollarama... but i also tend to not go many places to grocery shop/general shop.
 
I can honestly say that in the very few places I’ve been everyone has been wearing a mask. Unfortunately I see quite a few wearing then with their node poking out over the top of the mask.

By the way does anyone know a good solution to keep eyeglasses from fogging up?

I've found that folding a little "shelf" in the mask right under your nostrils helps a bit.

Some people use a bandaid to stick it across the bridge of their nose.
 
I just heard yesterday that if your glasses fog up, your mask doesn't fit properly.


So basically I might as well have never worn a mask. Fuck me.

100% incorrect.

If you are not wearing a mask that has been fitted to you by a professional fit tester then the mask is a little less effective. You are not stopping 100% of moist talking by wearing a cloth mask but it is far more effective than not wearing one.

Depending on the mask putting tape on the mask at the top can help the fogging.

Hah of course, I was being sarcastic about saying I might as well have not worn a mask. I saw it on CBC Marketplace yesterday; the doctor wasn't very impressed with the idea of people wearing ill-fitted masks.

I have a friend who does mask fitting... most hospitals and LTC facilities have not been properly fit tested.... the chance the general public is going to get fittings is non existant.

Of course. The doctor on the show just said that if your glasses fog up then your mask doesn't fit properly and you should look at getting a new one, which is pretty unreasonable since none will fit perfectly. He didn't mention getting it properly fitted or anything on the show.

Yup and they do a decent job of protecting you too. Not perfect because they're not fitted properly, but it's easily better than nothing. Like a shitty vaccine.
 
still baffles me how many people have a mask "on" but not covering the nose, or they take it off to talk, or they wear it around the chin, etc

seriously if you cannot breath with a mask on - your trip to safeway was not worth the risk to your shitty respiratory system
 
of course they never should have lied to us about masks at the start
they said masks were not effective (they didnt want people to buy them all and leave health care workers without masks)

it is hard to come back from that
 
Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has a simple solution to this problem:
Fold a tissue into a thick rectangle and place it inside the top of your mask.
