(Quoted you here so as not to derail the riot thread)

People in Broward (and Miami-Dade) counties wear masks as well, but I hear it's not as common in other areas of the state. Even in Palm Beach County, which is a 10 minute drive north for me, masks are not universal because the county hasn't mandated them in public like like Broward and MDC. Crazy how something as small as knowing it's the law can change the culture of an area for the better.

Orange County (Orlando) started requiring masks due to a rise in cases there, so maybe lueVelvet @lueVelvet or IschKabibble @IschKabibble can shed some light on how prevalent mask-wearing is at Disney World or Universal Studios or wherever the fuck they live.

Oh and I do the same thing when walking on sidewalks lol. I've also used body language to communicate that I don't want people to get too close to me. Outside of NYC and NJ it's very rare for people to get confrontational and verbally aggressive without extreme provocation. Rather, we use subtleties in body language to communicate discomfort or annoyance. I can imagine how strange this sounds to you but trust me, it works.

i totally feel ya

my main issue is that both side of establishment politicians painted this is a binary issue (1) stay shut down or (2) re-open and get businesses back up and running

but that was never the case. it was never binary

at morgan stanley, i worked along side many of the rich bastids that got bailout-bonuses basically, in the years after the 2008 crash. and i lived with a dude who alongside his co-workers, made a killing off of TARP. and the government did much of the same to a larger extent this year, when they could have been structuring the trillion dollar bailouts MUCH differently so as to both keep people hired and assure the money gets into the hands of people who need it, instead of the rich

by doing that, we could have had a much stricter lockdown, and effectively, let most of the corona virus die off instead of being the world leader in corona deaths (and downstream deaths such as increased suicide :(

unfortunately, our politicians are bought out by the corporations due to citizens united

That would require leadership at the federal level working with leadership at the state level.


We generally lack both.

Nobody wears masks. And the people who wear them don't wear them properly. I had a lady come into our office last week wearing a fancy little floral printed number that was way too loose and kept dropping below her nose. Naturally, she fidgeted with it the whole time she was standing a foot away from me.

My Aunt who works at the local hospital says there are 61 COVID patients, one currently intubated, but the rest are practically asymptomatic. And most of them came in for something else and were diagnosed as positive during the screening procedures.

This thing is a joke my friend.

my bad if i was derailing a thread, i dont even know what thread im in half the time (i just click notifications and then rock out)

so around 2ish every day, i go out to a shopping mall type billboard and climb up onto its 7footish type ledge to smoke a couple cigs while getting vitamin D and listening to news. and this drunk dude always comes over asking to bum cigs

two days ago, he offered me a beer (which is illegal in public in NJ i think), i say no. then offers me trees, then acid. LOL

he starts to climb up with one hand (open beer in the other), so i stop him and say "dont come up if its for me. i gotta go home now" LOL

then he tries to fist bump, i say no, he ties to elbow bump and i deny again. he tried the elbow bump three times tho. he really wanted that

and i get it. i probably wont catch corona from an elbow bump, but why take the risk. i have no needs to bump elbows with anyone, let alone drunk-acid dealers missing teeth and bumming my cigarettes everyday

Broward has 1.7x the population of Orange and you recorded more new cases today. It has over 3x the population of Polk County, which also reported more new cases today.

You started reopening earlier than we did. You continue to be more open than we are today (we still have not opened bars/clubs).

You guys (my brother lives in Polk County for reference) also don't wear masks. We do.

Because for the past six months I've watched a bunch of retards use wildly incorrect predictive models to explain why I had to shut down my business and stay home. But Orlando never fully shut down. If a virus was spreading like hell around here it would have devastated us.

Medical lobbies are also exposing themselves as the greedy fucks we always knew them to be. I don't have any answeres, but I'm pretty sick of the "experts" constantly getting it wrong.

Which predictive models were wildly incorrect? The death toll has been accurate thus far, as has the predicted mortality rate

As accurate as a meteorologist predicting the path of a hurricane. Cast a wide cone and call it accurate if it falls anywhere within.

Earlier date predicted for Florida’s coronavirus peak

The total number of fatalities for Florida through Aug. 4 is about 170 fewer than originally calculated with about 6,800. The range is between 3,600 and 11,200.

Up to 150 million Americans could get coronavirus: US projection

Washington (AFP) - Between 70 to 150 million people in the United States could eventually be infected with the novel coronavirus, according to a projection shared with Congress, a lawmaker said Thursday.

At the low end of the projection this would mean about 700,000 deaths. At the high end it would mean 1.5 million deaths.

U.S. Coronavirus Guidelines Followed Sobering Death Toll Prediction

A sobering new statistical model presented to the White House predicts people sick with the coronavirus may overwhelm the U.S. health care system and as many 1.2 million may die without drastic actions that continue for months.

Recommended control measures — including social distancing of the entire population, isolating suspected cases, quarantining family members and possible school closings — would suppress the outbreak, the researchers projected. But many of those restrictions may have to remain in place until a vaccine is developed in perhaps 18 months ― severely limiting daily life for a far longer period of time than public officials have suggested.

Researchers say the "only viable strategy” is many months of suppression efforts that will have "profound" social and economic consequences.

Might want to focus on the red underlined words.

Even the Orange buffoon-in-chief said it would have been up to 2.2 million dead if nothing was done...

Both California and Texas with over 5,000 new cases today.

For reference, New York's daily peak was 11,661 on April 15.

COVID-19 updates: Gov. Abbott says 'tougher actions will be required' if case counts continue climb

There are currently 3,409 people with COVID-19 hospitalized across the state, and 952 of them are in the North Texas region, according to state officials.

Sounds like he thinks it may come to that at some point.

Take Texas sized risks, deal with Texas sized consequences.
But this is ridiculous:

At the end of May, Texas averaged about 1,500 positive cases a day. In the past five days in June, there have been more than 3,500 a day. There were 3,280 new cases reported on Monday, which is a decrease from Saturday's high of 4,430, according to the Texas Department of Public Health.​
​
​
Additionally, Abbott said the positivity rate has gone from about 4.5% in late May to over 9% now. Hospitalizations for COVID-19 averaged around 1,600 a day at the end of May — and in the last five days, hospitalizations have averaged more than 3,200 a day.​

Damn, Texas. Just can't let Florida have all the glory now, can ya.



Namaste

do you hope the results come back positive or negative? It might be better if its positive because it means that the virus cant do shit to you since you feel fine. On the other hand, you might have infected people that are close to you
