if ya'll want some entertainment, here is a really, really bizarre story. Weird intersection of science, ASU, covid-19, some weird MeTOO grifting scheme.
I am thankful that NY is one of the last states to go back to school though. Maybe there are some lessons that they can learn in the next months.
That tweet is exactly why the kids are doing the online option without hesitation. A local school district has fell back to a hybrid model for two weeks after already having positives. Another had staff test positive the Friday before class started on Monday. The high school here is having its registration day like normal for students attending in person. They do it over two days with each grade getting assigned half the day. No restrictions on how many to bring with. Even if you look at it with one guest per student, that's likely 400-600 people cycling through the high school in a four hour period. Masks are "encouraged". When abrakapokus went to pick up online school supplies, she noted the amount of masks worn by staff (who were working in close proximity) was pretty low. We're running straight into a fire, and nobody seems to care.
Update: Less than 24 hours to go, social media posting today uses the phrase "please wear masks." Voice messaging from the principal says masks are required. As per usual, they don't even know what the answer is. For another example, we've been given three different dates for when online school's first day.
I went there one time and it was like being in a beach town in Florida. All the girls were in bikinis everywhere.
I've never been there, but you're saying it's awesome? Noted, thanks.
I have a week off coming up soon and really want to get out of town, but I probably won't, and I won't be going there. The bikini girls will have to come to me, wearing masks.
So this a test, like a "find all the things wrong with this picture" kind of thing, right? (Hint: it's everything.)
Jesus Christ, half of them aren't even wearing masks. Wishing the pandemic over and declaring it over haven't worked yet, so I guess we're just saying fuck it. Next coronavirus hotspot: everywhere in Murica with open schools.

It was very cool. The hardest part for me, was flying there. I had to change planes and get in one of those 32 seater planes. Two seats on the left and a single seat on the other side of the aisle. I was in the single, last seat in the plane. I'm not good with flying at all and that plane ride was terrifying. Also had to walk the tarmac. We drive home. I was meeting my ex (when he wasn't an ex) who was working there at the time.
Yesterday, I made a wedding cake for 125+ people, and I’m still pissed about it. How selfish do you have to be to hold a mass gathering more than twice the max allowed by the state?!
I went up to Lake of the Ozarks when my buddy got married. His grandmother got them a 3BR house overlooking and on the lake. They went up for a couple of days and invited 4 of us to come hang the rest of the week. We rented a boat and went flying all around in there. We finally ran into some people who’s boat broke down and so we towed them. The ***** at the rental place tried to Jack us out of 300 in deposit. My buddy was a Hunter S. Thompson aficionado and would always act up in public. He smacked her down with I don’t know here you’re from, but we don’t act that way in New Orleans. She said Key Largo and so he told her maybe people there are all assholes. Haha. She eventually relented. We had a ball up there besides that one instance.
Does anyone feel like the numbers have been coming down since the CDC turned over reporting to the DHS? I’m pretty anti-conspiracy, but I don’t trust this bunch even 1% of the tine. Between preservation of power at all costs and potentially keep Trump and cronies out of jail, I think they will do anything.

Josh went to the Fresh Market today to pick up a couple of things. As he was walking in, there was a woman standing in the vestibule area, no mask, shouting back in at the cashier that “this is all going to be over soon, but you have lost a customer for life.” I love the irony of thinking this is all going to be over soon when you are the very reason that it won’t be over soon at all.

I believe the only numbers that were moved to DHS are hospitalizations. Case numbers and deaths are no more under the thumb of the government than they were before.

It feels like case numbers have started coming down in many places, but that also coincides with taking a step back from opening everything up haphazardly and more widespread mandatory mask orders. If we're right about the numbers coming down a little I'd attribute it more to masks and less bars open or less bar hours than calculation shenanigans. Don't quote me on that though, because I really don't know. Of course I do trust DHS must less than the CDC but I haven't seen anything credible about them fudging numbers, yet.

I love the irony of bonafide assholes thinking that businesses really want the businesses of people who are going to be assholes and annoy both the staff and other customers.
One thing I have been thinking about: for all of these very much not socially distanced concerts/festivals that are occurring outdoors, has there been any follow up reporting to see if these events are spreading the virus?

Rode the NYC subway today for the first time in nearly six months (I had knee surgery right before the pandemic hit). What a bizarre experience. Weirdly, I felt pretty safe, given that I was one of only three people in the car, all of whom were masked, and then the other two people got off halfway through my ride. It was also cleaner than I've ever seen it.
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?

Not enough time has passed for there to be info. And since there isnt contact tracing for those events then its even harder. Unless somebody who went to the Chainsmokers ends up dying in a few weeks we might never know what came of it for example.

the drive in shows in the midwest I would imagine had enough people to potentially see a community wide spike tbh
just was talking to my mom and she realized she might have had covid back in December. wild to think about but she got really sick for a couple of weeks and lost her sense of taste and smell. she was at the doctor today and described her symptoms and he was like yeah you had it. offered an antibody test but she didn't take him up on it, wouldn't really change anything either way.
doctor also said that all the schools that are doing in-person classes will be closed again by september. that's just the private schools, the mobile county public school system is doing remote learning until at least November, which is looking like it was a smart call. the issue with the private schools around here is when the students were sent home last spring, a lot of parents just stopped paying tuition. so the private schools are way more motivated to go in person.

Like I said, for the safety of my wife (who is a teacher) and my children (one in school, one in daycare), I hope that NY learns quickly from these early opening schools and changes course if, as suspected, they announce tomorrow that they are opening school back up on a reduced capacity basis.
Remote schooling was far from perfect but it beats the much more serious possible alternatives.

Seriously, they need to roll school openings back.
What are all of your thoughts on challenge vaccine trials? On one hand it is incredibly risky but the argument could be made it would save more lives if it works. Especially with how America is doing nothing
