Texas Governor Abbott caught on recording saying reopening will escalate coronavirus spread on same day state businesses open
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been caught on an audio recording saying that reopening the state's businesses will "actually will lead to an increase in spread" of coronavirus, adding, "The goal never has been to get COVID-19 transmission down to zero."

Texas, may the odds ever be in your favor.

Well it certainly looks like Texas' Governor was absolutely right.... Not sure if he cares....

Texas cases of COVID-19 increasing by thousands since reopening

Completely anecdotal but they just opened up the majority of Virginia over the weekend and holy crap. Based on what I saw there's gonna to a big pop in cases. Some places were just packed with idiots that were ignoring any safety precautions. I'm not saying that people should have to wear masks or keep some distance but it's silly to immediately go back to previous practice without a care in the world.

Just be wise.. keep your circles small. Cover up if you're in a really crowded place. Wash your hands a couple more times a day.

Don't be so damn dumb that everything that was gained by the last two months is erased and we're forced to start it all over again.

For anyone interested apparently you can order antibody testing direct from labcorp.

We are getting tested on Wednesday.

This is what makes me so fucking angry. All of us not fucking c word adults who took it seriously and didn't go out to parties etc has gone out of the window and we might have to start again.

I would dearly love to hang out with my mates. I miss them terribly. But there's a reason I have the circle of friends that I have...they're not selfish fucking idiots.

The next two weeks or so will be an interesting display of the effects of natural selection.

BC is starting to open up right now too. the other day when the parks open up the beach was as packed as it gets on a summer day. at this time of year there is rarely that many people on the public beaches as it is still too cold to swim. the lake was packed with boats too. its good to see some life come back to the valley but it seems like people just went out for the sake of going out and immediately ignored any of the safety recommendations . we have been lucky here and there are literally 2 people hospitalized in our health authority right now and our area is huge. we have only had 181 cases total since the beginning in the interior of the province

this is it right here.
If we could all be trusted to behave responsibly then awesome. But people are fucking idiots who ruin it for the rest of us. I hate being locked up. I am so desperate to have a beer with some people. But I'm not a selfish prick. I've been leaving cake and chili sauce and stuff outside my friend's door. I want to hug her and tell her I love her but we just can't.

I read about this last week but was trying to find a credible source that wasn't the Daily Mail.
This almost infers that Daily Mail is credible.

They are the online equivalent of the trash mags at the grocery checkout with headlines like "Baby born with 4 heads grows up to form a solo barbershop quartet band"

personal choice

that is what this comes down to

U don't wanna be in groups and possibly catch a virus(any virus)...Then don't be in groups

World is gonna have to go on

Waiting for a Vaccine is not a certain thing and not an absolute solution

99%+ chance you survive and eventually are no longer a spreader of anything...That is a choice some people are comfortable making

Personal Choice

It is of course wise to use precautions around people with pre existing issues

She filmed it herself too, as if to show how crazy the other people are
Did she say Dana Point?
LOL.

Dana Point women are crazy.
In my previous life, pre-monastic celibacy, I dated a crazy Karen from Dana Point. Severe alcoholic. Rich family. Fun times.

Apparently not much has changed - unlike me.
