Loading ...GMG is curious: an informal survey
Greetings Fellow Goldtenters, wondering if anyone would like to weigh in on an informal question. It will be unscientific and purely anecdotal of course, but here it is: wherever you have spent the last 48 hours, can we get an idea of the percentage of the percentage of people there who have no critical thinking skills/love lockdowns/want to embrace fascism/are scared shitless over something irrational.
The way this will be quantified is: when you have been walking outdoors, roughly what percentage of the people that you have seen were wearing masks? I am not talking about those waiting for public transit or exiting a shop or restaurant. I’m talking about those fanatical idiots who are prolonging this bullshit by wearing their mask while walking around outside, or while driving in the car by themselves.
Gaaaaaah, seeing this behaviour is making me crazy 🙁 And I think Vancouver takes the cake. So I’ll start it off:
Vancouver: 40%
Fort Myers, FL – 5%
Make that 2%
Vernon, BC 20-30 %
Coquitlam, BC 50% walking around – 20% driving
NW Arkansas — < 1% BIG pushback to the jabs here too.
Sun Peaks, BC 5%
None of the renovators showed up with masks on their faces today. I saw them pull them out of their pockets and were about ready to ask me if they needed them. I had not met them before. I said no need. They were relieved.
small town texas <1%
Waterloo region, On, overall 30%. Trending lower , slowly.
I am hopeful. Through thick of stupidity, my 3 kids have not masked in public places outside of the school. Never had anyone complain. 10, 6 and 4 year old. Pretty rowdy bunch, if anything we had neutral to positive interactions with store owners, workers and public.
Dayton, Ohio 10-15%
Great Topic Great Survey GMG
Rural Southern Ontario …Small Towns
10- 20%
But 30 minutes south ( Brampton ) 60-70%
Drove up to Orlando FL to pick up some beer brewing gear.
As far as I could tell, life was like it was before 2020.
No clear evidence of stupid (aside from drivers ‘parked’ in the left lanes).
I’m sure they were around, but I didn’t encounter any.
I’ll be generous as say 10-20%, but these were the ones hiding in their homes so I didn’t spot them.
Around here over recent weeks, 15% or less.
Older folks higher, young folks NEVER.
From the heart of darkness…godforsaken California. It’s got to be north of 65%. I was one of only three people maskless in Costco today.
O% here in the country, Ontario. In a nearby town of 12000 maybe 5%
