COVID-19: Chapter 4 - OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Pretty sure bars, restaurants, gyms, and most retail is closed, to say nothing of courts. Beaches are active movement only. Do you have a cite?

Bars are definitely open in newport beach. I have friends that work in them.

Harborside restaurant is open, I know this for a fact.

Cite:

There’s also a tattoo parlor and massage place that are currently open across the street from where I live.

Well, here are the official guidelines, which many may not be following. Note that masks are generally required.

"All businesses, industries, and entities listed on the State’s website at Current safety measures - Coronavirus COVID-19 Response and at Current safety measures - Coronavirus COVID-19 Response that reopen in Orange County as part of Stage 2 of the State’s Resilience Roadmap shall post their corresponding industry-specific checklist at a location visible to the public at the public entrance of each property.

In addition to the foregoing industry-specific checklist, all businesses, industries, and entities shall post a document at a location visible to the public at the public entrance of each property that specifically includes an attestation by the business, industry, or entity owner and/or operator that it has:

  • Performed a detailed risk assessment and implemented a site-specific protection plan;
  • Trained employees on how to limit the spread of COVID-19, including how to screen themselves for symptoms and stay home if they have them;
  • Implemented individual control measures and screenings;
  • Implemented disinfecting protocols; and
  • Implemented physical distancing guidelines.
  1. Cloth Face-Covering: All Orange County residents and visitors shall wear a cloth face-covering outside their home when they are not able to maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from another person who is not a family/household member or does not reside in the same living unit. The cloth face-covering order SHALL NOT APPLY to the following persons:
  • Children under the age of 2;

I stand corrected.

There are restaurants and hair salons open, that’s all I know

Yeah, that’s a huge dose. If you ever decide to continue the experience, try the 2mg nicolette lozenge. It will still buzz you, but should reduce nausea if you’ve eaten recently. Nicotine salts are metabolized differently depending on oral/smoking/nicotine salts only etc.

I looked around at some recent news that said there was some confusion and likely different understandings, but OC is still in stage 2 of reopening. I don’t have much actual knowledge as I don’t go out much atm and don’t often watch local news.

Also, managed to solve my haircut issues with some clippers.

CNBC has been cribbing my work here. Additionally it looks like we are going for our 7th straight day of increase in the 7DMA.

one of the hydroxy studies that bashed the hell out of it was never audited before it got released so they retracted it.

Science likes to do shit like this from time to time, it’s super annoying because it’s a layup for every right wing derptard to go straight to “they retracted it because it’s fake hydroxy GOAT medicine trump right” stuff.

Almost 700 new cases in Iowa today, something like 3% of total cases in the state. Love to see it!

I just noticed Brazil has over 600k Covid cases only performing 900k tests. Surely that can’t be right can it? If it is, Brazil is going to win the race to herd immunity by a mile.

We have 0 cases and the casino is still not open yet.

Can you cite this?

For all the loss Swedes have endured, there has been no associated economic gain, which is what many claimed was the saving grace of the Swedish approach. According to the European Commission, Sweden’s economic forecast of a 6% reduction in GDP for 2020 is on par with its neighbors, Norway and Denmark who implemented much stricter lockdown measures.

Wait what do you mean “we”. There are not cases in all of Australia or your state/territory?

Worldometers has that as their testing numbers. I know there are some issues with that site re: testing numbers though.

I don’t know if you’ve mentioned it, but is Swedon anywhere close to herd immunity?

State. South Australia. Essentially this just means Adelaide, a city of 1.3 million, as the second-largest city in the state has less than 30,000 people and the population of the whole state is 1.68 million. There was a cluster of cases in the Barossa Valley, a wine region an hour north of Adelaide, but COVID never reached anywhere more remote than that. Australia has something like 500 active cases.

So even badass COVID-19 can’t survive in Australia.

lol no. I posted about it some days ago, but random-sample antibody testing showed that in Stockholm County, the hardest-hit area, 7.3% of people were seropositive as of the start of May, vs the government’s forecast of 26%. As of May 22 the state epidemiologist had moved on to claiming, without evidence, that 20% of people in Stockholm probably had antibodies by then. Extrapolating from known case numbers then vs May 1 suggested 9.4% were seropositive, so he was claiming, based on nothing, a more-than-doubling of the ratio of unknown cases to known cases in the space of three weeks. IDK about you but this does not strike me as plausible.
