Yeah, it's the idiots that have me worried.

Just got word we're installing plexiglass in the store. And I spent the day in a very uncomfortable mask to try and get my cashiers on board with it cause we also got word we're being sent PPE. (We had gloves and were cleaning but Target wants to strongly suggest the masks now.)

I have more comfortable ones a guest gave me but I'm trying to show them we can all do this together. It sucked lol.

Ugh, the mask sounds awful, but if it keeps you safe, it's worth it.  The plexiglass sounds like a good idea!

It's basically for the areas you can't socially distant, so like the service desk, the checklanes and electronics. I've been joking we're a step away from putting everyone in bubbles LOL.

Right? You can roll, bounce and if someone sneezes on you, you're safe! LOL.

Someone find me a giant plastic bubble.

There are stupid people over here not listening to the lockdown rules, especially around the south east of England, where people were sunbathing and playing in the parks there!  That's probably why they have the highest number of cases and highest death rate.

Where my daughter works they haven't been given any PPE but they have put Perspex screens up around the checkout areas.  It makes me worried for her and also worried it will be brought home too, but she hates customers at the best of times so is doing her best to stay away from them lol.  She would like a giant bubble too :)

Our PM is now in intensive care as he's deteriorated :(

Scary times.  I heard about your PM yesterday, Steph - I know he may not be popular, but I do hope he'll recover.  Sending positive vibes for your daughter, too - I hope she stays safe!  It's frustrating when you and your family and friends are all following the directions and staying home and away from each other, and then you see or hear of other people doing the exact opposite. So dumb!

Wow, Stephanie, July?!  Ugh... that is not good.  Obviously, we'll do whatever we have to do to flatten the curve, but I really hope things will be looking better by summer.

Yes until july! It’s take what it’s take to stop the covid-19. They work on a vaccine in Canada and they hope to be able to send it by next year

Wow lockdown until July? That is awful!  But if that's what it takes then it has to be done.

Over here those considered very high risk have been asked to stay indoors for 13 weeks.  But the rest of us are coming up to three weeks in lockdown.

Yes, our PM isn't for everyone, lol, a bit like Trump.  But throughout this virus crisis he and the government have come across as doing the right thing for the country, which is good.

I hope this vaccine doesn't take a year like they've predicted.

It’s official the center Bell in Montreal gonna be close for the next two years, so no bsb in september

Two years??  That seems excessive.  Where did you hear that?  I'm having trouble finding any kind of official news source reporting that.
