COVID-19: Chapter 4 - OPEN FOR BUSINESS

With out opening I’m guessing that’s Wrenzie’s husband Tommy?

Tales from my deplorable sister (she’s 40):

COVID is a media hoax.
She will not wear a mask unless required to, because she doesn’t want to be told what to do.
Her boyfriend said that people like him aren’t afraid of a stupid little virus because he ice climbs… (wut)
D E P L O R A B L E

I ended the text chain with a simple “go fuck yourself, sister”

Why doesn’t China have its own pigs and pork?

They do, but China has high per capita and overall pork consumption. It was already high before they increased their middle class by 100’s of millions.

We should send them our police in the next trade deal.

I thought they begged her to stay??

Those of u not wanting to attend out of state funerals, LIE. Say that u or your wife were in proximity to infected people and are waiting test results but are forced to Quarantine til then.

Why risk being the next one n that wooden box? Seriously, it’s not like u are really helping by being there. Grief is 99% ego n situations like this .

Landlord’s helper just shows up to install smoke alarms for a city inspection this week. No mask, got offended when I asked him to wear one. He did though.

This might explain it:

Week 3 Total Tests (5/31-6/6) Week 4 Total Tests (6/7-6/13) Testing % Increase Week 3 (5/31-6/6) to Week 4 (6/7-6/13) Cases Week 3 (5/31-6/6) Cases Week 4 (6/7-6/13) Case % Increase Week 3 (5/31-6/6) to Week 4 (6/7-6/13)

I think it suggests at least some of your reporting from test to result is probably on a 7 day+ lag and that’s likely how they’re coming up with the impossibly low projection for this week. My guess is results are also probably coming back faster than they expected this week.

to check county data on the County tab. It’s only updated to June 12. You have to click on the various tabs to look at the stats you’re interested in.

It’s hard to read that and not think it’s a parody.

I am familiar with the poster and I assure you It’s real.

Looks like the math dude from 2p2 was doing recently. Corpus vile or whoever.

That article doesn’t pull any punches.

The only bright spot in all this gross stupidity is that the Republican National Convention will be held in Jacksonville later this summer and that the same non-existent simple precautions won’t be used there either. Here’s hoping everyone who attends gets sick.

So Cal fitness gym opening back up next week. I mean I have some issues and won’t be going back right away, but I’m also conflicted and assume that like 100M will get it in the US before we have a vaccine. The issue will be whether semi-effective treatments become available in the next few months and 80%+ of the cases aren’t too bad. That said, there are plenty of things people shouldn’t be doing, and I’ll be monitoring the info on gyms to see where they are on the spectrum.

We’re excited to say that we will be reopening soon and will be removing the freeze to reactivate your membership effective Monday, June 22, 2020 . But first, we wanted to share our reopening plan with you. We’ve worked triple-time to put new health and safety standards in place so you can feel 100% taken care of here. Learn more about what we’re doing to keep you safe. [link]

When you return, things may feel a bit different. Class sizes could be smaller and waitlists may be full, but waitlists work to get everyone into class as quickly and safely as possible. You’ll be assigned to every other rower and treadmill for social distancing. There will be additional cleaning and disinfecting protocols that would make the CDC proud.

As mentioned, all of our new guidelines can be found by clicking the button at the top of this email. Brush up on what’s new. And rest easy knowing that the passion of this community you know and love isn’t going anywhere. Because we know all of you. And you’re unstoppable.

China has been dealing with a swine flu that’s wiped out a third of their pigs and they eat half of the world’s pork.
