Stay Safe

 Stay Safe

Things are starting to get back to normal, but the COVID-19 pandemic isn't over yet.  We can still get through this if everyone does these simple things:

1. Get vaccinated, if you haven't already.  You don't even have to pull your pants down like this guy, although it looks like he didn't mind at all.

2. Wear a mask.  If you're vaccinated, you're at very low risk, but it's still a good idea to wear a mask in public places.  Why?  There's a very small chance you could get and spread the virus (and you might not even know it).  But mainly, it's because other people don't know whether you're vaccinated or not.  Your wearing a mask is a sign that you're a responsible person.

This guy seems a little confused about where to wear his mask.  But if you're among vaccinated friends, feel free to wear your mask like he's doing.

3. Practice social distancing in public, even if you're vaccinated, for the same reasons as mentioned above.

4. Use hand sanitizer in public places.  Again, if you're vaccinated, you're at practically no risk, but it may help avoid spreading other peoples' germs around.

If there were more hand sanitizer dispensers like the one in the video above, maybe more people would use them.

Here's a closeup video of the hand sanitizer dispensing action.  Of course, I would never show porn on my blog.  What could be more pure and proper than hand sanitizer?

The dispenser is made by Hot Flowers, a company in São Paulo, Brazil.  It's for sale on their U.S. website for $199:

COVID-19 - Are We There Yet?

COVID-19
Are We There Yet?

You know how annoying it is when kids keep asking "Are we there yet?" on a trip.  Well, I feel the same way about people who want to lift COVID restrictions too soon.  Yes, I know we're all tired of this pandemic.  But we're not there yet.  Meanwhile, what can you do?

1. For now, keep social distancing.  Here, Laurence Barnes, known as FKK lad, is showing us how to dress for those Zoom conference calls.  I love how even his T-shirt isn't an inch longer than necessary.

2. Get vaccinated as soon as you're eligible.  You'll just feel a prick in the arm, not like the guy in this vintage drawing by Etienne, who is anticipating a prick in his butt.

3. Wear your face mask, even if you're tired of it.  This video shows Tim Schieff wearing his mask in London last July.  Unfortunately, the original soundtrack for Tim's video was an anti-mask diatribe, so I replaced it with a clip from a clever YouTube video "Wear a Mask" by Noah Lindquist, a parody on "Be Our Guest", which you can see here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltjBT_TuUVA

4. But don't be like Tim.  Wear your mask on your big head, not your little head.  Be like these dog walkers in San Francisco.

Are we there yet?  No, but if everyone does their part, we'll get there.
