    that seems to be the plan. It's understandable. I have spent a lot of time in eastern Oregon, and some of the counties have always had social distancing and in those instances it was more like 6 miles than 6 feet

    The governor seems to be welding the easing of restrictions in the more urban areas to significantly increased testing and contact tracing

    Brown is certainly more Globalist than Nationalist.

    That makes no sense at all. Lol

    Covid doesn’t kill you in a couple days. It won’t even kill you in a week. It’s mainly the pneumonia you get from the virus which takes at least a week to get.

    But looking back to what Dr. Fauci clearly stated. The death toll is not what you look at because it’s going to trail the curve. It’s looking at infections and hospital beds.

    I was being a smart ass and making fun of rednecks

    But it doesn’t take away from the fact that we shouldn’t take it lightly, like many in the south want us to

    I know it's baby steps, but our neighborhood Starbucks that's been shut down since March 17th, is re-opening Monday.

    They will be reopening but you won't be able to sit down and stay. You'll just be able to order a coffee inside instead of the drive thru..

    Scientists conclude people cannot get coronavirus twice

    A number of reported cases of coronavirus patients relapsing after overcoming the disease were actually due to testing failures, South Korean scientists say.

    Researchers at the South Korean centre for disease control and prevention (CDC) now say it is impossible for the COVID-19 virus to reactivate in human bodies.

    There have been more than 10,000 confirmed coronavirus cases in South Korea, with 245 deaths - a 2.3% fatality rate, which is lower than the 3.4% average as stated by the World Health Organisation.

    A total of 277 patients in the country were believed to have fallen ill for a second time, as had patients in China and Japan.

    This prompted concerns that the virus could be mutating so quickly that people were not necessarily immune to catching it again.

    However, genetic analyses of the virus have not found any substantial changes which would effectively disguise it from the immune system.

    Partially as a result of these reports, the World Health Organisation warned governments against using so-called "immunity passports" to allow people to return to work simply because they have antibodies for the virus.

    Immunity passports are a proposed way of allowing countries to begin to lift their coronavirus lockdowns in a targeted manner and resume economic activity.

    They would be issued to people who have already overcome a COVID-19 infection and test positive for antibodies to the virus, based on the assumption they are therefore immune.

    In an update to its guidance, the WHO warned there was "no evidence that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second infection".

    But it was not expected that the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test used to check the blood for antigens - actual particles of the virus itself - could also have issues.

    South Korea's CDC has found that the test results for the suspected relapsed patients were false positives, and warned the test it used was not able to distinguish between live traces of the virus and the harmless dead samples which remain after patients have recovered.

    This would be great news if true because a vaccine could put an end to this virus once and for all.

    That means all I've got to do is survive the initial attack.

    We'd better use this battle to motivate us to get ready for the next one. Do not defund the CDC nor the NIH (Dr. Fauci).

    I would still like to see more scientists get on board with this before I believe it 100%. It’s definitely a good sign though.
