OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

My sister sent me this article. OK, disclaimer, it's from a Christian publication, but I think the subject message in here is something we should ALL be aware of. And, who IS calling the shots?! (no pun intended)

Sweet! All we have to do is schedule an elective procedure and we can FINALLY get tested.

 

Georgia apologizes over 'processing error' after accusations officials were manipulating coronavirus case counts
really should read this, especially note manipulation of the order of dates in bar graph. reminds me of my friend denny crane, when manipulating bar graphs to defend his positions.
maybe the reason i never see him around is cause he got a job in georgia? i kid, i know lupus is painful and i hope that there hasn't been any difficulties in getting perscriptions for treatments as a result of the current crisis. be safe denny.

Meanwhile, in Florida, the state official who managed the COVID-19 online dashboard confirmed she had been removed from her position, according to reports Monday.

In a farewell letter to colleagues distributed Friday, Rebekah Jones questioned the health department’s commitment to “accessibility and transparency.” Jones, the former geographic information system manager for DOH’s Division of Disease Control and Health Protection, said she has not had authority over the dashboard she helped create since May 5, according to the Miami Herald.

 

When it gets to the point where my kid has to look like that just to go to school, it will be time to homeschool.

 

First of all, who cares? They're roughly 60% accurate and the treatment for the virus is identical to the treatment for pretty much any other viral lung infection. Testing is a political control tool and a deliberate diversion, and you are better off avoiding it.

That said, St Charles Hospital and Summit Medical Center here in Beautiful Central Oregon have more tests than they can ever use.

 

I'll take 'monumentally stupid quotes' for $500 Alex....waiting for "it's no worse than a cold" as the daily double

This was pretty much the sentiment of African Tribesmen when the AIDS epidemic broke out.....they thought sleeping with virgins was the cure for AIDS and testing was for pussys...that sure didn't turn out well

 

Is she your roommate?

Barring unlikely circumstances, Hawai‘i County beaches will reopen islandwide beginning Tuesday.

Mayor Harry Kim will soon be unveiling his Rule Number 5, which will officially reopen the County’s beach parks once approved by the governor. That approval is expected within the next 24 hours.

The mayor’s rule also states permitted activities that may occur at these facilities, which will be in compliance with CDC guidelines that limit congregating groups to 10 people or fewer. Specific guidelines on the number of people allowed to congregate and any other qualifications will be expressly outlined in the mayor’s rule.

“These beach parks are being reopened for your enjoyment and your wellbeing,” Kim said in a press release. “Please keep up the safe practices of social distancing that helped us get to where we are today.”

bigliest, best news of the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mayor Kim told Big Island Now Monday that several districts on the Big Island have gone three to four weeks since reporting an active case of coronavirus. Two new active cases of COVID-19 reported over the last few days slowed the decision to reopen beaches, which the counties of Honolulu and Maui began allowing Saturday.

Kim said that once he found out those cases were both linked to travel — one person who’d visited Los Angeles for a short time, and another who’d made several stops, including a stop in Los Angeles — he felt comfortable moving forward with the reopening of beaches islandwide.

“We had no active cases here prior to those two,” the mayor said. “You don’t want to take any risks.”

The news comes just hours after Gov. David Ige announced the extension of the state’s mandatory, 14-day travel quarantine, which includes interisland travel, and that “medium risk” businesses such as gyms and indoor dining options at restaurants can begin to reopen in June.

The only exceptions to the reopenings, assuming they are approved by the governor, are Hakalau Beach Park and Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole Park, which have been closed due to necessary improvement work. The mayor is working with the Department of Parks and Recreation to determine the next phase of county facilities to reopen, such as tennis courts and pickleball courts.

Although the county beach parks will likely reopen, the threat of COVID-19 is still present. The mayor said that all beachgoers must follow the safe practices stated in the CDC guidelines and Hawai‘i County Rules.

“Know the importance of staying mentally, physically and (socially) healthy with these rules,” the Mayor said.

My post was for whoever wants to read it, this being a public forum.

The Wisconsin State Supreme Court chief justice did say packinghouse workers, low income, mostly people of color, and heavily immigrant, were not "regular people". Azar did say packinghouse workers who get sick do so because of their unhealthy lifestyle, not unhealthy workplaces. You can verify these quotes.

The so called "protests" began when data showed African-Americans and Hispanics were disproportionately impacted by Corona virus. They are virtually 100% white, with Confederate flags, swastikas, build the wall signs. Include open nazis like Proud Boys and people calling for a new civil war (but one that would keep Trump in office). They carry assault rifles and talk about how horribly persecuted they are because someone told them to wear a mask, worse than Japanese Americans in internment camps, worse than Nazi Germany. They claim they don't need masks or social distancing because people like them don't get sick (not true). It takes a very strong denialism to say that is NOT racist.
