The Tampa Bay Rays opened their facility for the players. Only 14 allowed at a time and have to wear a mask except for when exercising. Better they the control group than the Yankees.

Yep, this is my parents exactly. Deathly afraid and quarantined in their massive house, having my bro deliver groceries to their porch, but convinced we need to open for business.

If it’s so fuckin’ safe then why don’t you do your part to spur the economy by going to restaurants and losing your tens of thousands per year in the casinos??

She’s probably a terrible a person and deserves to be with someone like Stephen Miller, but she’s like a million times hotter than what he deserves.

My brother in law is the same way. When his 2 kids came home from college, he made them self quartantine in the basement for 2 weeks before letting them in the rest of the house. He’s 67, diabetic, and makes my sister cut his hair while he bitches on Facebook about the tyranny he faces.

It took Switzerland 55 days to go from its peak active cases (14313) to <5% peak.

It took South Korea 2.5 monts to go from its peak to ~10% peak.

It took Germany 50 days to go from its peak to ~15% peak.

It took Austria 52 day to go from its peak to ~8% peak.


…and now for something completely different:

More than a million active cases but you are probably safe to go to a gym as long as you use wipes.

I wonder if it gets to the point where the rest of the world self isolates the US til a vaccine is developed.

I don’t like how she was treating the dog :frowning:

G7 meeting ‘to go ahead at White House’

The G7 summit of world leaders will still happen “towards the end of June” and will take place at the White House in Washington DC despite coronavirus precautions, White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany has said.

She told a briefing that US President Donald Trump sees the summit as a great “example of reopening in his transition to greatness” - a phrase the Trump administration has used to characterise the reopening of states’ economies.

“We will protect world leaders who come here just like we protect people at the White House,” McEnany adds.

Two White House staff members have tested positive for the coronavirus. One of them returned to work earlier today.

She still doesnt get it. Not once in the Merc article did she say she was at fault for thinking the leashing rules just didnt fucking apply to her.

We’re absolutely going to be banned from many countries for a long time. As someone who likes traveling internationally, I’m not happy.

Mexico City records ‘8,000 excess deaths’

Mexico’s capital has registered 8,072 more deaths than usual in the first five months of this year, a study has found, casting doubt on the country’s official coronavirus figures.

The total number of deaths in Mexico City was 39,173 between 1 January and 20 May this year, compared with 31,101 on average during the same period in the previous four years, the study said.

So far, Mexico City’s health authorities have confirmed 1,655 coronavirus-related deaths since the pandemic started.

The true death toll is believed to be much higher but, due to a lack of testing, an accurate figure is difficult to establish.

The study estimates that around 25% of the “excess mortality” it reported was attributable to Covid-19.

“While studying excess deaths allows us to identify a higher mortality rate during the Covid-19 crisis, it is not sufficient to attribute it directly or solely to the virus,” Laurianne Despeghel, one of the study’s authors, said.

Mexico has recorded 7,633 deaths and 71,105 infections, figures from a US university show.

The way she lost the dog so quick makes me think someone from animal control saw the video, went to her, and gave her the choice: Humane Society, perhaps temporarily -vs- the pound, see you in court.

At least she can’t get evicted.
