I got my hair cut on Friday for the first time since all this started, which felt good. Things are starting to feel more normal now that more stores and stuff are open, but at the same time, not really. It's still weird.

We had to put Phase 3 on hold to make sure the upwards numbers in cases here doesn't keep spiking. Our Governor is PISSED that some of the casinos aren't enforcing the guidelines. There's murmurings masks will be required in casinos soon. But of course locals are bitching that Phase 3 isn't immediately happening now. Like that's what you get for not being careful!
I NEED to cut my damn hair lol. It's so long so it's always in a braid so I don't lose my mind. But with everything happening I'm waiting till things mellow again.

And of course, the comment section was full of Canadians and people from other countries with universal healthcare talking about how that would never happen in their country. I don't understand why people in the US are so against it!
I really do wish we would split into two separate countries - peacefully, without a Civil War this time. Let the south/red states secede; they can fly their Confederate flags and idolize their statues and spread their germs and pay ridiculous prices for healthcare and insurance and keep Trump as their president, while the Union enjoys equal rights and universal healthcare and elects a decent person to lead us.

Yes please! I'm completely fine with that happening. They can even build a wall to keep us out. That way their virus spreading stupidity stays on their side.

Omg, today phase three is happening up here in Buffalo and people were waiting on lines since last night to get into these stores like it was Black Friday. None of them were wearing masks and they were all clustered together. We are all too stupid to open back up. Honestly, Canada should keep their borders shut until all of the stupidest Americans die.
Sakabelle:
I am really hoping the border stays closed for a long time. It’s the only reason my province is doing so well I think. We’re stuck in the middle of nowhere in Canada but I’m an hour drive from the US border and people often go back and forth.

It sounds like it's much stricter there than it ever has been here, and yet people in my area are constantly complaining about their rights being violated because they can't dine in at restaurants or shop without wearing a mask. It's so ridiculous. I get that, for most people, it's not fun to be cooped up, and wearing masks aren't comfortable, but it's a small price to pay to prevent people from getting sick. Of course, the ones complaining are the same people who think COVID-19 is "no big deal" or a made-up liberal media hoax. Is that happening in other countries too, or is that just a dumb American thing?

I think there are people who aren't happy with the way things are, but the majority of people seem to be accepting it. It is for our own good after all and a small price to pay in the long run.
I see quite a few people shopping in face masks, my mum has made me a few. I'd rather shop in a mask than risk getting or transferring the virus. I saw on the news about huge queues for the shops re-opening in England. I think ours will re-open in the next couple of weeks, but I won't be going to any shopping centres for a while.
We haven't had it as strict as some countries because we've been allowed out to exercise close to home.
We have our share of idiots here too who think the virus is made up. A friend of my sister's is convinced it's a cover up for putting up 5G masts or something like that lol.
Mare, that is a huge bill to have to pay :( I'm glad we have free health service here as a lot of people wouldn't be able to pay. Shame you don't have a system more like ours.
