General Corona virus updates

What do Florida's numbers look like after a week of relative normalcy?

Hard to say. Numbers across the state are generally trending downwards, which is a good thing because testing has increased.

I live in South Florida, a region of three counties (Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade) that comprise the Miami metropolitan area. Today is Broward's first day back because we have the second-highest number of cases in the state. The South Florida region contains 30% of the population but 60% of all cases, so our counties had to wait a little longer to reopen.

The state minus our three counties reopened on May 4 at 25% capacity for restaurants, retail outlets, and hair salons.Palm Beach County reopened on May 11 despite not having met voluntary federal guidelines before reopening. The last two counties (Broward and Miami-Dade) reopen today. Restaurants/retail outlets/hair salons are at 50% capacity because restaurant owners complained they couldn't make money at 25% capacity. The governor unsurprisingly raised the restaurant/retail capacity to 50% statewide so that other counties wouldn't complain.

The governor also announced that gyms could reopen today. My county blocked that though. The city of Fort Lauderdale is fighting Broward's order and has said it will allow gyms to reopen. I'm hoping there's a Mexican standoff between the city police force and the county Sheriff's office but it will probably be handled peacefully. I don't see the city being able to go through with the gym thing. It's fucking Fort Lauderdale, not NYC or even Miami ffs. They're not important enough to do their own thing.

Beaches will reopen in Broward next Tuesday, the day after Memorial Day so as to avoid large crowds on a holiday traditionally associated with outdoor activities and barbecues. Beaches reopen in Palm Beach today. Not sure when Miami-Dade is reopening theirs. Who really fucking cares (a lot of people, just not me) because Miami-Dade is a shithole.

tl; dr - Ask me again in a week or two.

You think they'd repeal that?

"....Since publication of Imperial’s microsimulation model, those of us with a professional and personal interest in software development have studied the code on which policymakers based their fateful decision to mothball our multi-trillion pound economy and plunge millions of people into poverty and hardship. And we were profoundly disturbed at what we discovered. The model appears to be totally unreliable and you wouldn’t stake your life on it."

"....One file alone in the Imperial model contained 15,000 lines of code. Try unravelling that tangled, buggy mess, which looks more like a bowl of angel hair pasta than a finely tuned piece of programming. Industry best practice would have 500 separate files instead. In our commercial reality, we would fire anyone for developing code like this and any business that relied on it to produce software for sale would likely go bust.

Witnessed a familiy member get tested for Covid and as others have joked, I'd legit rather roll the dice with the Kung Flu then go through that. Fuck all that noise...

you'd rather kill 5-10 people, and/or take 10 years off of your life than have someone stick a swab up your nose?

Did you see in Sacramento (pretty sure that's the right town, fb won't let me share the video here) they pulled the protest permit and sent swat teams after protesters? Looks like civil war coming. Looked really scary .

I'm pretty sure a Marine backed the police off.

We have a mandatory quarantine for anyone who arrives on a flight from New York or New Jersey. We also have cops on the FL-GA border pulling over every car with a New York tag and telling them that they have to quarantine.

But it's not enough imo. I honestly think we should start locking them in cages and I'm not even joking

Not joking? Really? That's awesome. Any idea what sort of set up of quarantine? Like in disused hotels or quarantine camps?
Can't believe I'm asking this. It's like a dystopian movie.

Self-quarantine. No idea how it would be enforced but

Local or state law enforcement officers would meet flights, and Department of Health staffers would also do temperature checks. They’ll be told about the self-isolation order — and told that going to stay with a relative doesn’t count as self-isolation.

Get your point. The least airports/law enforcement should be doing is taking temperatures from everyone getting off a flight. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing.

I do understand that some air travel is essential in an emergency, but I doubt that's what's going on with the majority.

I don't really have a point. I just want to lock New Yorkers in cages because they're terrible people.

Solid second source

A wise man once said, "when trying to lose an argument by making a weak point, attack the source instead of the actual story".

Perhaps this source would better suit your fancy?

Moncef Slaoui, ex-pharma exec tapped by Trump to lead vaccine group, will divest $10M stock options

The former pharmaceutical executive tapped last week to head Operation Warp Speed will divest $10 million in a company considered a front-runner.

www.usatoday.com

Or maybe this one?

The ex-pharma exec leading Trump's COVID-19 vaccine program has $10 million in stock options for a company getting federal funding

Dr Moncef Slaoui was named Chief Scientist for Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" — but continues to have a large investment in Moderna, Inc.

www.businessinsider.com

The good news is I was right to call it fishy because just as I was typing this post... look at what happened
Hot of the press:

Trump's newly appointed coronavirus czar, Moncef Slaoui, will divest his $10 million in Moderna stock options

Moderna's stock has been skyrocketing recently on its announcements of progress on a coronavirus vaccine.

www.businessinsider.com

So it was true
And just in case that source wasn't enough, allow me to add another:

Moncef Slaoui, ex-pharma exec tapped by Trump to lead vaccine group, will divest $10M stock options

The former pharmaceutical executive tapped last week to head Operation Warp Speed will divest $10 million in a company considered a front-runner.

Although ^ that one has "Enquirer" in the title, so I don't know if it meets anoyone's standards.
