COVID-19: Chapter 4 - OPEN FOR BUSINESS

I was hoping the New York quarantine order would focus on Florida.

SC just demolished the prior record high by 25%. But not all bad news:

-Hospitalizations were essentially flat after a massive uptick yesterday (still enough combined to represent a trend upward but mitigates yesterday’s horrific report)

-deaths still low

-much of the increase was due to testing, as the positive percentage actually dropped slightly from the past few days

Do we have an update on how effective masks are? I was under the impression that the success for non N95s was around 50%.

I heard that the masks are literally killing people.

That CNN anchor is really good, she’s been disgustedly clowning deplorables daily and is quite good at it.

Still drawing live for 40k. I told my friend we’d hit 50k 7day rolling average by July 4th weekend he thought I was crazy, now it’s looking like we may be there even before that

I loved that first woman on SNL.

We’re at phase 3 here now. Mask wearing is quite low and casinos/escape rooms and those kind of non essential leisure areas are able to be open. 15 active cases in the province so we have uptick a little, but the recent ones are from travelers.

I’ve gone to a restaurant and golfed, don’t think ill do too much else still yet.

Oops. It was a surprise ending for me when it was about Brazil, not ‘Merica.

Seahawks will crush if that happens. Team is usually unstoppable on the hurry up offense.

50% is better than 0% last I checked.

33k with some large texas counties, la and a couple states. If we don’t hit 40k it will be 39k+, a new record. And the states going pure exponential right now are literally all doing nothing. Insanity.

Of course it is. I wear a mask whenever I’m around people*

*except for outdoor dining after the food comes.

Far too often Covid precautions are sold as all or nothing and it really bothers me. I know you weren’t doing that but even if masks are 50% effective that is huge. We all spend tons of time arguing about the most recent remisdivir study on whether it means 0 or 10% effectiveness when the most obvious fixes are much easier and better and yet your average person refuses. It’s beyond fucked here in USA #1.
