Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

According to the excellent blogger The Points Guy, daily maid service has gone away and ain’t ever coming back at most one and two-star chains like Courtyard. As the Marriott CEO recently said, “we have to take care of our franchisers first, then the customers.”

 

That's just it, the franchisers are going to get top billing across the boards.

I don't know, maybe we should have built a society that was less pathetically reliant on the hospitality industry for all of the collective id's needs.

 

I have no issue with that for short stays. If I'm there for a week, I may ask for service after four days, but for an overnight or a two-night stay? I'm fine with no maid service.

 

If SpaceX does not have production/ extraction facilities for LOX at their launch sites, they need to build them. Elon Musk can write some checks.

 

We were delighted about this as well. I can use a towel twice if I'm staying at a hotel for two days.

 

Brooklyn Bridge Marriott had full maid service when I was there earlier this month -- a five night stay. Boardman, Ohio Holiday Inn had none for a three night stay in July, but you could go to the front desk and get fresh towels, so no worries.

 

Illinois has reenacted a mask mandate regardless of vaccination status. I expect other states to follow closely behind.

I've been wearing a mask again for the past two weeks. We have our second child due in November and I'd be beside myself if I got my wife or my little boy sick.

 

Just don't see it happening in Virginia. Northam is going to leave it up to local authorities to make such decisions, and I just don't sense a political appetite for restoking that fire unless things really get out of hand.

I'm wearing mine in stores where I may run into kids. Did notice that it was probably 80-20 masks yesterday during a Kroger run. But I'm not wearing it in the bar, because there's really no point if it's at full capacity. What protection are you getting by wearing it when walking to the bathroom when you're spending the whole time at the bar talking to people with your mask off?

 

There's a very solid way to stop catching Covid from other patrons in a bar at full capacity ...

 

I honestly don't give a shit if I catch it at this point. I've already had it, and the vaccine works. There's zero reason for me to hunker down and avoid people. I live alone and I'm not around kids.

 

Sigh. I guess I'll go on and say it, and I'm not trying to pick a fight.

At this point the risk isn't so much that you'll become badly ill, it's that you'll carry it while having no symptoms and give to the unmasked people in the bar who have not had a case and/or the vaccine. The primary reason for wearing a mask isn't to protect the wearer but to decrease the chances of spreading it.
