Whenever I do, I stick my hand in those cheap no name sandwich bags to handle the pumps, seeing as many people use them without safeguards... I thought only I did that.

blue_gold_84 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Most gas stations have paper towel dispensers at the pumps (at least the Shell stations I use, anyway). Even before all this pandemic crap, I'd use a generous amount when handling the pumps, be it the grade select button or the nozzle. Now I make sure to use hand sanitizer when I'm done.

Brandon Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 So for the people who wear gloves at gas stations, do you put on gloves when you do all of your shopping and other outings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The United States is by far the worst affected country with more than 5 million Covid-19 cases and 160,000 deaths.There's been a 90% increase in the number of coronavirus cases among US children over the past four weeks, according to a new report.College football teams are debating postponing their seasons altogether over the virus.👁🗨 Florida’s Ron DeSantis is offering Florida as a site to host college football. (Not joking)Speaking of Florida:Florida again is reporting a record number of coronavirus-related deaths.The state reported 276 additional deaths, breaking the previous record of 257 deaths on July 31, according to the Florida Department of Health. The state reported at least 5,831 new coronavirus cases, bringing the state total to 542,792.

JCon Posted August 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I'll point out that two of the most successful re-starts have taken place in Florida. MLS and NBA have created great bubbles. But, that works because of the orgs and because of the player's commitments. The venues have been great. Not sure how you would have college football in a bubble? Or has the NCAA stopped pretending they actually care about the player's academically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At risk of sounding like Donald Trump, if they did test close to or at daily capacity then there is the chance of more positives being identified. That might freak some people out.

That might freak some people out. who gives a **** if people are freaked out? We need to identify as many cases as possible every single day. Alberta's been doing asymptomatic testing for months now. If it was financially feasible, every single person should get a COVID test every single day.....as the NHL is doing with their bubble. That protocol should be mandatory around the world. Of course, that's extremely expensive......but I'm just saying, in an ideal world............. bustamente and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone that went for a test, because they unknowingly encountered someone who had been in an area with known cases. This person has no symptoms. I just think Pallister saying that will discourage people from acting responsibly. JCon, Noeller and Wideleft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
