General Corona virus updates

[Yossarian]

Social distancing in a place with assigned seating is a walk in the park.

Yup, that's what they said in Florida bars, beaches, etc. And here we are.

Especially when the leader of the country attended a week after admonishing people for protesting to reopen the economy.

The economy should be re-opened, where it can be. That does not include bars and gyms, entertainment, etc. No reason to close everything down due to some impossible venues.

Miami-Dade County and Broward County (FL) will close their beaches for the July 4 weekend. Palm Beach County likely to follow suit as it won't want everyone from Dade and Broward driving up there.

You don't walk around and interact with strangers at a movie theater. It's kind of ridiculous that they'd open bars, and restaurants before they would movie theaters.

Most restaurants are forced to live on less than 5% profit margin. 3 months of closures means losing everything they've ever worked for, so does running at half capacity. It wouldn't kill you to reevaluate your facile views of the world and show a little compassion for others who are struggling to make ends meet.

Florida killing the game.

The three counties that kept restrictions in place have seen their share of total cases drop from 56% to 44%.

Amazing how that works.

It's nice to see that you've thought it over and now have a more nuanced persepctive.

As an aside, I'd be curious to know what ended up on George Floyd's death certificate seeing as he had an "inconclusive" autopsy followed up by a positive covid death.

I have a sneaky suspicion that "Death by 9 minute knee asphyxiation caused by Covid" would be your preferred statement?

Of course I could be wrong, so feel free to let me know.

It never occurred to me that anyone would have a preferred cause of death for someone they've never met. You might want to seek councilling about that.

No need to get so update and defensive, fren. I said I might be wrong, so that's all you had to say. Sincerely sorry if I caused offense to your delicate sensibilities.

Interesting that this was said on Fox. Those disloyal traitors.

Former CDC Head: Surge In Coronavirus Cases Due To New Spread, Not Increased Testing

"The numbers you’re seeing are just a tip of the iceberg of even more spread," warned Dr. Tom Frieden.

Next thing you know they'll say the President wasn't being truthful about the spread.

Sad.

The bar thing has since been rolled back throughout the state (I live in Broward so we never had it anyway)

You're regressing more quickly than anyone expected. I hope that someday you figure out whatever it is that makes you so unhappy, so you can address it.

Namaste.

8,530 new cases reported in Florida today.

This does not mean our numbers are dropping. There are simply fewer data entry employees working on weekends. I expect Florida to hit 12,000 some time this week.

This report is saying 10,000?

Either way, holy apocalype, Batman.
