Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday the state is considering mandating that residents wear masks in outdoor public spaces, not just indoor ones, as the virus' rate of transmission has surpassed the key mark of 1 in New Jersey for the first time in 10 weeks.
"We're constantly assessing and reassessing the variety of the advisories and recommendations that we have out there," Murphy said during his latest coronavirus briefing in Trenton. "We're looking at outside masking as we speak."
"The virus is a lot less lethal outdoors, but that does not mean it is not lethal," he added. "It does not mean that you can't still spread it."
People aren't wearing masks. People on the right act like it was never something to worry about, and a lot on the left are either acting like it's over or that getting it is inevitable and they'll be fine.
Can't wait for all the people in Cuyahoga County to go apeshit.
For reference in Ohio, we've been averaging 800+ new cases per day the last week.
Pretty much all around Europe numbers are creeping up. Especially in the Balkans.
Yes. I'm still trying to convince my wife that going to KC for our anniversary is a bad idea. I've had to remind her to wear a mask more as well. Just be honest and do what you think is best for you.Does anybody have any experience with their SO not being as cautious?
my bf and I don't live together and I don't feel comfortable hanging out with him on thurs if he hung out with his friends last week (in their house no masks but6 ft apart) and plans to drive in a car with another friend to Palm Springs which is a 2 hr drive.
I feel like he thinks the fact that he feels safe is enough but I don't feel comfortable.

There's a huge outbreak in the city of Lleida. Once that is under control things should be fine.
If a huge outbreak happened there, why can't a huge outbreak happen elsewhere?There's a huge outbreak in the city of Lleida. Once that is under control things should be fine.
I get the feeling Huron, Trumbull and Butler are going to be the worst behaved of the bunch. And the situation must be horrible in Norwalk for Huron to be included on a list with almost all the major cities, while somehow Toledo/Lucas County isn't on there.

This was a day reserved for cast members and their guests. So lots of adults and fewer kids I imagine.
So my cousin who lives in Orange County (CA) was with his Aunt and uncle for a weekend while they were both positive with symptoms. His family didn't learn this until he had been back home for a few days. His dad told me the only test they could get was in Chula Vista (hour and a half drive from Irvine) 10 DAYS from now on the 17th, and results may take another 10 days? He has Kaiser, is testing really that fucked?

I thought I read Kaiser's been running low on testing supplies. I would try for a municipal/county testing site
Try CVS, maybe? They seem to have a lot of free testing sites around Southern California. If he has Kaiser, it may not be free at the site, but I believe you can file a claim with Kaiser, and they will pay you back. I have no personal experience with this, sorry, but that is what I read on their site.
