I agree. Phase 2 is happening now it seens and phase 3 starts in July, it's a good thing phase 1 turned out positive but we never know what could happen on 2 and 3. Anyway, still thread worthy.

I have... "friends" who have seriously gone and gotten tested for anti-bodies, cause one of them (out of a household of four) had a little something a while back. So, they are just convinced they're all good to go. It is infuriating. Like, you think 1/4 of you having a little cold clears your whole fucking house of covid!? They also of course think this is all being overblown. I hope the test they had done is reliable enough to not come back as a false positive.
Construction didn't seem like it ever stopped where I live in Massachusetts. So many businesses not deemed essential are open now so it's interesting seeing the amount of businesses that are allowed to open next week. Most are doing curbside pick up.MA new guidelines regarding opening up should be coming out very soon. From other articles this morning it looked like construction, manufacturing, and the good ol 'places of worship' were slated to open up first starting today.
As of Sunday evening, Baker was planning to announce that offices would be permitted to open May 25 at 25 percent capacity
Live MA update with Gov Baker starting soon:
COVID-19 Update: Reopening Massachusetts Report

Here is the slide deck for today:
Talked to friends yesterday that work for a town and they are having an outdoor town meeting and then vote. They are stressed about that ; 600 chairs in a field all spread out.
South Korea has kept theaters open, and Hong Kong opened them earlier this month. I wonder what practices are in place? Seems like there's no outbreaks as a result of those venues.
I keep waiting for CT's numbers to decline. I don't think it's going to happen soon. People were outside this weekend and, anecdotally, without masks. We'll be living with this death toll for a while.
I really don't think people realize how long masks and distancing are going to be necessary. Or that they're necessary to begin with.
It's depressing.
Bragging before it's over never seems like a great idea.
I had to go out to get Sudafed and opted for a Publix since it's easier to avoid people and I gotta get groceries anyway.
And I think a ton of people have just said fuck it to restrictions. Employees were wearing masks and wiping down carts but of the like 35 people I saw like one or two had masks on.

No shit. Meanwhile I get absolutely crapped on by people on this forum for saying this would happen a few days ago.
Holding my breath for Memorial Day weekend.. and to think they opened the beaches here.. who are they kidding that they think they will be able to manage the crowds?
We're sending the wrong message, at least, we're sending the message too early.
Edit: someone said they changed their mind about opening the beaches? That's great!
Similar stuff happened in CT over the weekend, first warm weekend in forever and people flood the beaches and parks like idiots. A lot of beaches never actually closed because it was too damn cold so it was never an issue.

More than a dozen Connecticut parks and beaches closed by noon Saturday after reaching capacity; COVID-19 hospitalizations drop below 1,000
Parks and beaches have have been more popular than ever with those looking to escape from home during the coronavirus pandemic. But heat and sunshine sent even greater numbers outdoors, causing the state to close more than a dozen spots after they filled to capacity by early afternoon.

Stuff like this is bound to happen. It's how the government responds to these flagrant violations that truly matters.
That's been happening the past few weekends in my neighborhood in queens. Just a ton of people getting drinks for takeout and standing/sitting outside the cafes/bars/etc. Really stupid and infuriating.
So my wife and I had been planning on trying to have our first kid this summer. We're in our early 30s, and with the limited info about how it can be more dangerous for pregnant women with COVID, it definitely scares me. I go back and forth between wanting to wait for a vaccine but keep thinking people are pulling off pregnancies/births now, so I think we should be able to make it without anything bad happening idk.
any studies on how COVID effects new horns and pregnant mothers that you guys recommend?

My anecdotes concur with all of yours. Was at costco this morning where they require shoppers to wear masks. There are more people out shopping now, which should be fine, and they didn't seem to be limiting capacity like they were a month ago. But about a quarter of the shoppers had their masks hanging below their nose or lower. Great.
As for CT, the one difference I can see with nearby states is this: As you look at other states' reopening plans, you see stage one being manufacturing, construction, parks, curbside pickup for stores, etc. Well, CT was practically at this stage one the entire time, and CT's reopening is basically other states' stage two. While testing is increasing and hospitalizations are decreasing, for about a month now we've had slightly more than 10% daily positivity, and recording a number of daily deaths that is 10% of that or more. Will that be acceptable to other states for their phase one reopenings?

Lots of talk in specifics about phased re-opening.

It seems like the ban has been only really enforced in the metro area, so all the scheduled jobs in the suburb/rural areas are now getting done.

Texas also has one of the poorest per capita testing rates of all the U.S states sitting at 44th.

Wow
All this shit is going to do is inspire more people to open up early.
Still trying to figure that out lol
Well, hope they remain safe and heed guidelines (they probably won't).
Weekend numbers and all, but 1,250 new cases in NY state yesterday, the lowest since mid-March, and more notably a positive percent rate of 4.7%(!!).
I'm really hoping they've learned enough about treating this virus because I'm not liking what I'm seeing about how the public is acting right now. Cases are going to go up, there is no denying that now, and I hope we can keep the Hospitals from being overwhelmed again. I'm just so taken down by all this lose of life. I don't want it to get worse. Going to remain tepidly optimistic.
Is this the first time deaths are below triple digits in months?
Crazy how long it took to get the numbers down that far. But thank god it's getting better now
Yes, it is the first time since March 9. It is crazy how much time it took, more than two months. These are "weekend numbers", but I hope that also in the next days the number will keep at least stable.
Funny timing, that. They were going to protest at the capitol this afternoon. Now Lamont is having his daily briefing now ahead of it. The protest group was started on Facebook by a salon owner in Westport (the origin of the initial outbreak in CT) and had grown to 3600 salon members.
It's always been like that, and something I've noted myself.
I always just figured it was timing and process issue as Worldometers updates in real time as the numbers come through, and CNN uses the same "fact checked" number throughout the day, meaning CNN is always lagging behind.
I've always found those chants of "U-S-A!" to be disturbingly paleolithic.
Here's How Massachusetts Will Reopen Under Governor Charlie Baker's Plan

I'm pretty happy with the plan and am more optimistic. As someone right in the heart of the city, I'm impressed by people following the rules - I see at least 90% of people with face coverings even on the streets and basically anywhere I go inside.
The haircuts and labs being so quick surprises me a bit.
Need those bball courts open so I can get some shots up though I understand the hesitancy - not sure if they're included but I'd expect them to be more cautious there.
As Chile approaches 500 deaths, and it's over 46.000 total cases, lack of government help is driving people to hunger in the capital, where the biggest population is currently on quarantine. With no ways of having income, unemployment and minimal to no help from the State, protests are happening again. It forced the President to give a speech (in less than two hours) saying that they will agilize the help they promised yesterday - which is giving a box of groceries to 2.5 million people - and asking for patience.
The people is hungry. Both Total Quarantine and government help was warned as needed months ago, but just now they are implementing them, saying that they weren't prepared for this.
We are fucked. ICU is at 93% capacity in the capital, where 70-80% of the cases are located.

Not sure if related, but I've heard of 4 deaths of family members from some people at work over the last 2 weeks. Such a concentration can't be coincidental. They were all older people, too. Guess that's to be expected though this far into the pandemic.
Just went to a Home Depot in Murrieta, CA to pick up a sprinkler head. I'd say maybe 1/4 of the customers had masks on and none of the employees I saw did. Clothes are in the wash and so am I. We're so fucked
