Good thing Canada literally cannot even consider "cutting the US out as an ally" then.

Texas coronavirus discussion - wear your face masks, y'all

State of Delaware decided to open
boardwalk and beaches. New infection spike is incoming shortly, people are being dumb and selfish. Most people don't give a flying fuck about social distancing nor wearing masks.
Ps. If Death wears the mask then you should too.
Wow amazing lol
Yep. For how well Ohio responded initially I've been annoyed as hell to see so many people here just stop giving a fuck.
At least on worldometers, the next day was half of the day before.
No shit
This should also clarify why state based gun-laws don't work.
Sure does seem that way. America got tired of waiting out the virus so they said they said screw it and started going back to old routines. We're still about 8-12 months away from a vaccine so buckle up
Went for a grocery run yesterday. The number of people wearing masks was only about 40% of the shoppers and only a handful wore gloves. Seems like a lot of people think things are back to normal since stores reopened.
Seeing cousins in other states (Florida and a few others) posting IG stories at the gym, no masks or social distancing from those vids.
Even here in the Bay Area (East Bay), there was a HUGE classic car show down the street on Saturday. Passed by it while driving back from the store and there must've been about 1500 people shoulder to shoulder with no masks on.
People truly just don't care.

They are all going to be 25% of fire marshal capacity and also not enforced.
My tooth started hurting the day that the state of Ohio allowed dentists to reopen And I called immediately before the rush. I still have to wait a week but they were only letting one person at a time in and doing essentially the same thing you're saying. I felt interrogated before I could leave my car to go in lol. Also my dentist was in full PPE gear with the face shield and everything.
I went shopping at Wal Mart the other day in Florida and while they had barricades and employees at the entrance, about half the people I saw weren't wearing a mask inside.
Speaking of Florida
777 new cases of coronavirus announced hours before Florida enters ‘full phase one’
As Florida prepares to enter ‘full phase one’ of reopening positive coronavirus cases across the state continue to rise.

Buffalo NY has just met the criteria for a phase 1 re-opening. That starts tomorrow.
True. Doesn't seem like any business will actually lose their license over non-compliance. We saw how they handled the Dallas hairdresser
Of course they will, and the 25% capacity will be adhered to everywhere also.
I thought I read that Colorado bar lost its license. Don't know how long for.
I'm really curious to see what we do next here in Illinois. I am afraid shit will get real crazy here if they extend the stay at home order into June.
Colorado=/=Texas. Abbott is very pro business and protecting them
To the point that he was stanning for an unlicensed hairdresser operating out of their home that would have been illegal without rona.
I always find the argument that it's "just meat plants causing the spike " to be disingenuous. They live somewhere? They have to shop? They have families? All spreads it.
if we want to remove groups at will my area would look amazing. 83% of the deaths in my county and 35% of the positives are from nursing homes. People who work there are allowed to leave and do other things when they aren't working. You can't ignore that

It's why people who work in statistical analysis hate people who don't understand it getting involved. I got in a long conversation about data modeling with someone on Facebook who just kept making stuff up that wasn't based on any premise. Like, we have plenty of old data to backtest any of these theories on, and the only one that consistently comes up is prolonged contact = high infection %. Every single individual case always has extenuating circumstances to it (oh, its because they went to a birthday party" "They are married to a nurse", etc, etc). It's why you look at aggregated data and you use rolling averages to account for temporary blips caused by one-off events and not try and just explain away the spike.
That spike could potentially lead to a secondary or tertiary spike as you mentioned.
It's also a real weird take "People in close-quarters to each other for long periods of time is the only reason they got it, normal people are totally fine" "Let's reopen packed bars and offices"
Press conference about to start: https://www.kxan.com/news/coronavir...tates-continued-safe-and-strategic-reopening/
Given his tweets I think we are gonna full-steam ahead this thing.
I think Jersey is going to spike back up again too. Look at this line of people waiting for beach badges in Belmar the other day. The people up front look okay, but as it went back it got worse with fewer masks and less social distancing.
It really does seem that way.
So many people in America just don't believe it's a big deal... until it happens to them.
Hitchens said that he was once among those who thought the coronavirus "is a fake crisis" that was "blown out of proportion" and "wasn't that serious."
That changed when he started to feel sick in April and stopped working, he wrote.
Hitchens said he "had just enough energy" to drive himself and his wife to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center on April 19, where they both tested positive for the virus.
"They admitted us right away and we both went to ICU," he wrote. "I started feeling better within a few days but my wife got worse to the point where they sedated her and put her on the ventilator."

He thought the coronavirus was 'a fake crisis.' Then he contracted it and changed his mind.

More like next 1-2 months. Issue we're going to have is that while states have 're-opened' there's still been a lot of trepidation by a lot of the general public. But I think now, mentally a lot of people have hit a fatigue point where more and more are going to embrace 'going back to normal' and as more and more businesses open, this will get more and more fueled. Even here on Long Island, you can sense how people are hitting their limit and starting to embrace the good weather. State Beaches open next week and my bet is they will be absolutely packed. Everyone is wearing masks in stores because of the executive order, but I see more and more people outside not wearing them. So I think over the next month you're going to see alot more human to human contact happening and since there will be a lag, we won't see the full effects for probably another month after that. And this next month, each day where it isn't the apocalypse is going to embolden more and more people to throw caution to the wind.
**I've seen people talk about Georgia and how the cases haven't skyrocketed since they've been open for 2 weeks, but if you look at restaurant and other retail activity, the last 2 weeks have still been WAY down compared to normal. With no spike from that, many more people will be emboldened and the closer we get back to regular social activity is when the virus gets a whole new second life imo.
All the while, you have a President who is literally urging people to just go back to normal and ride the virus out. I PRAY I am wrong, but I think it'll be too late by the time things start going out of control again and we're back to locking up, and this time even more of the country will be locked down and health systems all over will be stressed, not just those in the big hotspots when this first hit.
Absolutely on the fatigue point. The last weekend me and my friends hung out, one guy beat us to it and said no because he was doing self isolation. Now he's the one who's been getting together with family like three weekends in a row. Him and his gf are just fed up I think. Love him to death but I don't get it.
I hear ya. "Hey lets shut it all down, and then open it all up..... when the numbers get worse!"
Brilliant!
I'm right there with you. I just hope my Mom and brother stay safe...
It's all bullshit. Gov. doesn't give a shit.
Granted I am not so fearful on simply walking outside. But once people start packing themselves indoors going EVERYWHERE, we are going to be in trouble.
Edit: Also, I don't regret the Quarantine. I got to spend time with those who I love the most (wife/kids) So yes, it was for safety, but it was also very enriching. I am glad we got to spend the time together. The work grind can often get in the way of such moments.
Government is spinning absolute reckless action as a positive because I guess that is the "Texas Spirit". I can't trust anyone to adhere to any safety guidelines on the scale required to actually bring down the numbers with Texas now entering "phase 2". There's been a bingo place opened for weeks since they entered "phase 1" and the parking lot was packed every single day of the week since. These people don't care, and these people make up the majority of this state.
Phase 2 officially already began, in addition to the Phase 1, these are open:

American is going to have a very deadly summer, but I guarantee a lot of media is going to intentionally not report on it or minimize it.
I'm thinking it will be like, "oh, deaths already at 150,000, good thing it's a under 500,000, so on and so forth"
