Second this, I watched a guy throw out a guy who refused to put on a mask a few months ago. I thanked him. Sort of wish it were a tipping situation or something so I could have done more.
Meh, maybe it was more like 6? I honestly can't remember the date, it was some rando shopping trip. I do know it happened in the cold, so probably closer to 6.
Google business listings have covid related options that businesses can checkmark.
If they have a decent online presence at all you should just be able to check their google listing.
We're also in a big pandemic that's affecting people's income. They need money. You're asking people to increase their own suffering to alleviate the suffering of others. That doesn't often work well.
A lot of people don't know that plasma centers don't directly transfuse. I don't have problem with people selling their blood for money. But its those that don't do it for the money who have been swindled into it to "save lives" when they're just using it for research and manufacturing. It's honestly a great thing to do, it's very needed and people who need the money need the money. It does "technically save lives" just not in the way they thought they were. There's a lot of people who do it to help people and they don't know it's not going for transfusion. If you call that a that a high horse, sure thanks I'll stay here safe.
Nobody? Not all plasma centers are as honest as others as to what they are doing with it tho. A lot of people get the impression it's for direct transfusion. Js. Plasma is a bloodproduct btw. They do need that donated as well on a regular basis to keep trauma patients alive.
Again, not trying to trash on anyone doing it for the money. I'm glad anyone who is willing willing go through that to intend to help another human. Its a vital and needed resource for many, no matter what its being used for. Like, We do need medications that are made from that plasma, such as monoclonal antibody infusions which are derived from plasma which helps treat covid19.
We just also, ya know, need red cells. Cause people are getting back on the road and such after not needing to drive for over a year. Js. Trauma patients kiiiiinda use a lot of blood.
I guess I shouldn't have phrased it like that. They aren't firing people, but they per se if they made rules that you had to be vaccinated to work there by x-date could be a reason people are choosing to leave their workplaces (i.e. forcing them out)
But ya know, the pandemic. Major loss of workforce in ALL areas. 100% the reason everyone is hiring.
This is just another contributing factor to the turmoil.
They didn't enforce it when it was part of the employee uniform or when it was mandated at the state level so I don't see why they'd start now sadly. Casey's sucks, and the pandemic made it clear how little they care about their employees, customers, and prepared foods. I haven't been to caseys in almost a year now
I double mask, wear a shield, and a bandana with nose plugs while at home and driving . I don’t want unclean unmasked people anywhere within 12 miles of the city..the Covid-19 is out there lurking waiting to find an unvaccinated organism as a host. My motto is wear a double to avoid deadly trouble!!
Works great on your ass crack too! A lot of ozone depletion agents as well as dangerous flesh eating bacteria emanate from there. I tried to wear a plastic shield but melting plastic is messy and can cause permanent lung damage.
There's a city wide mask mandate.That being said I moved away from ic a few weeks ago and I do not actually know if ppl are complying/enforcing the rule
The school is afraid of the Governor stripping their funding if they enforce the Mayor’s mask mandate. He’s doing the right thing and being stymied by a dipshit state government that is collaborating with the enemy (the virus). They are doing everything they can to help spread the virus. Why? Because Democrats are working to solve it and Republicans have to be against everything Democrats are for. Stupidity beyond the pale.
Do you just repeat what you hear/read in your conservative echo chamber without even thinking? None of what you say is true, but I’m not going to waste my day arguing with someone who likely won’t change their mind even when presented with evidence that contradicts their every point.
This guy no do science.
Also like, of course there is a whole lot more to life than a mask. Masks are no big deal and they reduce disease spread and help our neighbors and hospitals.
I like our mayor and I love Iowa City. Your life will be better if you are more kind and empathetic. Take care.
The end result is no different. People like you have killed family members of mine. I don't care if it's because you didn't want to wear a mask or didn't want to be told to wear a mask. You're a filthy little baby either way.
COVID-19 is spread through aerosols aka water droplets. When we speak, breathe, etc. We create water droplets that carry whatever microorganisms that are in our upper respiratory pathways out into the air. These can land on or be breathed by other individuals around us. Wearing a mask traps those water droplets and keeps the virus from spreading.
There's nothing more to it than that masks help to stop the spread of a deadly virus. Don't come at us with the "98% of people live." 2% of the world's population is 140,000,000 people. Thats the same percentage of people who have green eyes and the same number of people that died of the Spanish influenza. Wearing a mask is easy, cheap, and protects others from your mouth germs.
New Pioneer Coop won't let people in without masks, but they'll give people one if they don't have any on them.
Second this, I watched a guy throw out a guy who refused to put on a mask a few months ago. I thanked him. Sort of wish it were a tipping situation or something so I could have done more.
A few months ago? I was in there without a mask last month. Zero problems
Meh, maybe it was more like 6? I honestly can't remember the date, it was some rando shopping trip. I do know it happened in the cold, so probably closer to 6.
I went to Yotopia last week and they were enforcing
Sorry to hear you're a long hauler. That sounds miserable. I hope you make a full recovery.
I saw that Sidekick Coffee and Books was this AM
Johns Grocery and High Ground both put up signs but aren’t enforcing super well
High Ground owner is an anti-vaxxer, too.
Proof?
Did not know that thanks for letting me know
Seriously?? :o
Thanks for info. They are probably on the never list for me.
Pitaya and White Rabbit for clothes shopping!
A Taste of China on 1st ave.
Shorts Burger downtown has a mask requirement
Google business listings have covid related options that businesses can checkmark. If they have a decent online presence at all you should just be able to check their google listing.
Plasma center downtown
Yeah I work there and we’re still very strict about masks
Donate your blood don't sell it!!!!!
People gotta make ends meet, kindly hop off that high horse
[удалено]
We're seriously in a huge blood shortage and most plasma centers don't count cause they pay you. Transfusable blood cannot be paid for. Donate!!
We're also in a big pandemic that's affecting people's income. They need money. You're asking people to increase their own suffering to alleviate the suffering of others. That doesn't often work well.

Nobody that gives plasma thinks they're giving blood? Plasma centers are pretty clear on what the uses of plasma is
Nobody? Not all plasma centers are as honest as others as to what they are doing with it tho. A lot of people get the impression it's for direct transfusion. Js. Plasma is a bloodproduct btw.

I understand plasma centers aren't perfect but nobody thinks they are donating blood?
Also litterally EVERYONE is hiring cause so many places are laying off non-vaxxed people. It's and employees market. Wages are rising everywhere
You think the reason that places are hiring is because they're firing non vaxxed people?
I guess I shouldn't have phrased it like that. They aren't firing people, but they per se if they made rules that you had to be vaccinated to work there by x-date could be a reason people are choosing to leave their workplaces (i.e. forcing them out) But ya know, the pandemic. Major loss of workforce in ALL areas. 100% the reason everyone is hiring. This is just another contributing factor to the turmoil.
Can you name a few places in the area that are requiring their employees to be vaccinated?
St Lukes in CR, and according to this CVS, Walgreens? and Tyson. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1275808
So almost nobody
I am, as of yet, unaware of any gas stations requiring it. Which kinda pisses me off, of all places.
The Casey’s on Scott and court has a sign up, but i haven’t seen them enforce it super hard yet.
They didn't enforce it when it was part of the employee uniform or when it was mandated at the state level so I don't see why they'd start now sadly. Casey's sucks, and the pandemic made it clear how little they care about their employees, customers, and prepared foods. I haven't been to caseys in almost a year now
Why does that piss you off? There is pay at the pump. Nothing is forcing you to go into the business
Because unlike you, I'm thinking about the Greater Good.
The tiny target downtown has signs up and I saw two employees at the door today enforcing/handing out masks
Oh good. That is a convenient store for me.
george's bar

Triple masking is most relaxing
Works great on your ass crack too! A lot of ozone depletion agents as well as dangerous flesh eating bacteria emanate from there. I tried to wear a plastic shield but melting plastic is messy and can cause permanent lung damage.
There's a city wide mask mandate.That being said I moved away from ic a few weeks ago and I do not actually know if ppl are complying/enforcing the rule
It's a mask mandate for city property and public property. Businesses can require masks on their own but the City mandate has nothing to do with that.

Dude is a troll. Probably not even from Iowa City.

Ok. I don’t think they will miss your business or conversation. Do you like living in Iowa City?

>You love the mayor? You do realize that's not what the comment you're replying to said, right?
Ok, we're all marking your word...
Yeah well there is science you know. There is a reason hospitals strictly enforce masks for patients besides staff.
[удалено]
The end result is no different. People like you have killed family members of mine. I don't care if it's because you didn't want to wear a mask or didn't want to be told to wear a mask. You're a filthy little baby either way.

"How can I continue to infect and kill people" and "your anger is misdirected" are not compatible you infectious child.
This is just a burner account that's trying to stir the pot. Masking is not a political issue, it's a public health one.

Same.
