I'm seeing the alert fatigue really hit my little bubble ...
- Heading into gas stations to buy lotto (so pre-COVID eh?), and fucking tards, mostly women, walk in WITHOUT masks, their kids too, and you can just see they are gonna pull the "Was gonna go in quickly, forgot the mask" type bullshit...
- Started swimming lessons with the toddler, and horry fack, we be so fucked. Pool area closed off by glass, no one wearing masks, teenaged-instructors wearing a plastic face shield  (Limit 1 adult per kid throughout the area, but still.) Basically zero protection...
- At my parents condo, half the people 'forget' or just DGAF and don't wear masks on the elevator...
Everyone's stopped worrying about fomite transmission vectors (i.e. catching COVID by touching something) -- near the peak I picked up 600 pairs of latex gloves  I have about 200 masks still ...
With the changing direction of 3-ply masks vs 'home-made/fabric' masks .... and the numbers surging/spiking ....

re: annual flu shot, that was another endeavour ... Drove out to Stoney Creek (~25km) to get a damned shot; was refreshing and hunting on the Shoppers Drug Mart website for supply...

Got our flu shots at our family doc. They had a station in the parking lot and were taking walk-ins (of their patients only). Was a fairly fast process.
Our doc sold her practice almost a year ago and the flu shot was the first time I met the new doc. Young asian female, somewhat cute...prostate exam will be even more uncomfortable going forward 
Mask wise, it is rare that i will see someone indoors without a mask of some sort but again, I am just in and out for getting the few things i need through the week.

Wife and I still work from home. Grandma moved in after the cousins went back to school. She helps with babysitting my daughter.
We go out for groceries early and late as well. In Markham, every time I am out, I'd see maybe under 5 people or so that would not have a mask on properly.
In the summer, we did some patio restaurants but now its off the table.
The winter is going to suck.

Always cautious, but had my guard down a bit more over the last couple of months (always masked up, none of the nonsense, but was more open to meeting people in person). Dialing it back down again.

Interesting that Costco is now saying mask (covering mouth AND nose), OR face shield are mandatory. Better than nothing, but I'm not a fan. Not a fan of what exactly?
Shields being allowed in lieu of masks. My concern is that a lot of people (who aren't anti-maskers) will choose the shield, even though the mask is much more effective in stopping the spread.

i only go out for essentials maybe once a week. i go at odd times as well.
usually its okay. store is usually empty. everyone is wearing masks. but i haven't been to many places. no frills, walmart basically.
markham is doing alot better than most place as far as i can see. where i live its mostly older asian people who are all cautious by culture.

Went to Costco locally ... fucking line up stretched around the building at 10am in the morning ...
No mad dashes/hoarding of anything; tons of TP, Kirkland and others. Just ... the line up ... fuck.
And, it's the wkend, so here I go bringing the toddler to a fucking 'swimming lesson' with no mask and 10 other adults and kids.

Who would thought there would be a long line up on a Saturday morning, just after they announced a lock down?

Not sure if it was an Adamson BBQ supporter-type idiot, but ...
Wife tells me a patient came into her section tested positive Her section has higher-scrutiny re: Covid - all patients undergo Covid testing (at the hospital) 2-3 days prior to their procedures. Apparently said idiot tested positive before the test they had at the hospital (so I'm guessing lied on the intake forms.) 
Wife is already in full-blown gear daily (though I think they're still rationing N95s to 1/pp/daily) ....
