Well, at least the west is finally catching up with the wear-a-fucking-mask thing that's been part of Asian culture for a while now. Good news.

Yeah it's been crazy every week I go out for groceries since the lockdown started more and more people wear masks. Probably 90% of the shoppers were wearing masks when I went yesterday.

People in Lowe's seem pretty good for the most part. I haven't been in weeks but even early on most people were pretty distanced. I was waiting for a walmart pickup order and jesus fuck that place needs to be quarantined in itself. So many families just walking in like it's nothing. They really need to get on these stores asses about implementing procedures of limiting customers and stuff. If I have to step into a store I'm going to my local supermarket. The owner is very vigilant about cleaning, is taping lines everywhere to make people aware of the distancing.Had to go to Lowe's and I saw over 50% of people with masks on, and people were generally spatially aware. Hopefully a sign of improving behaviors.
I've mainly seen women with their noses out now that I think about it.Is it just here or are guys more likely to suck at wearing masks?
Saw so many who got it underneath their nose and its always dudes.
WHO, everyone latched on to it. They underestimated the number of asymptomous carriers and argued masks don't protect the wearer properly (that was the never the goal of mandatory mask use though, it's to protect others). All experts latched to it.Btw, who started that trend against wearing masks? I always ignored that nonsense, so I'm quite curious of who it was... Was it the WHO? The CDC?

Oh! That reminds me that the safest grocery store in our area is our local Asian grocery store - they take your temperature at the door, every worker wears masks, and there's never lots of shoppers (unfortunately due to the stigma 🙁).People in Lowe's seem pretty good for the most part.

I saw a man on the news talking to a reporter, and he had a mask and it kept slipping off his nose, and he had to adjust it half a dozen times during the interview, and he was a man.Okay now we need a third version of our anecdotal evidence battle
The jury is still out on whether or not it is airborne. And densely populated areas in particular use public transport en masse

Stop people from dyingMitigation drugs will not stop the disease from spreading which is why we have shutdown the economy though

Or you know, the common thing people do in big meetings. Shake hands when they come in.yeah, I seriously doubt the Virus is not airborne. We have reports from Covid clusters forming just from people meeting in a conference room with dozens of people getting infected from that one meeting. unless they did an orgy in that room they got it from airdrops.

Florida coronavirus cases top 10,000; death toll rises to 170
Orange County now has 602 cases in the state.www.fox35orlando.com
Over 10k cases in Florida and 589 in Orange County.
Testing sites are only limited to 250 people and closes just hours if not minutes after opening. What's worse is they only provide test to people who only shows symptoms after removing the restricting to only test the elderly.
My son was really sad because he left a toy (stuffed crayon) at his pre-school and we can't get it back. He was so worried his toy would catch the Coronavirus and die.Yeahhh my daughter asks me when everyone will not be sick anymore. :(
.
Yes, though the Local grocery store is 1000% better. They've even installed a plastic barrier between you and the cashier as of my last visit.
I saw this in the morning and I can't wait for comeuppance for all these motherfuckers.
Personally, I love for each and every these motherfuckers to be "volunteered" at the hospitals to aid the medical workers and should they survive that, jail them for 15-20 years for negligent mass murder.
even more than 50% since some days. but i guess they only test when symptoms, so not really representing overall population...
edit: looking on daily ratios
SOUTH FORK, Colo. (KDVR) -- You've probably heard someone say it at this point: the coronavirus is being blown out of proportion by the media, especially because more people die from the flu.
Clint Johnson of South Fork, Colorado was one of the many people who felt that way.
"I just didn't take it serious. I just thought it was something media was coming up with to distract us from something," Johnson said.
However, Johnson's perspective changed when got the coronavirus himself.
He's now sharing his story with others hoping others don't make the same mistake he did.
"It's like the flu times 10. You don't want to do anything. You're just completely miserable. I've never been that sick before," said Johnson.
Mostly but it's slightly out of date. Alabama is now in a statewide lockdown and Iowa is trying do something.
I'd also say Georgia and Florida are inaccurate. They may technically have a lockdown order, but Georgia opened their beached back up yesterday and Florida didn't lock down their beaches or churches with the lock down order, and both states governors are telling local areas that they have to follow state rules so aren't letting them lock down things even if they want to.
yeah, I seriously doubt the Virus is not airborne. We have reports from Covid clusters forming just from people meeting in a conference room with dozens of people getting infected from that one meeting. unless they did an orgy in that room they got it from airdrops.
first time i heard race being a factor tbhI don't want to be a cynic, but it is really hard to avoid the racial angle on the states that refuse a lock down. In the US it seems to be more dangerous/deadly for minorities.
Low viral load taken in by them, meaning they don't have enough of it to get it. Or they are screwing up on the testing.If virus was airborne (and no confirmation on that, only many confirmation that is not airborne) we would have it already unless you leave a isolated farm.
Think about it, how come people that lived with infected people are testing still negative?
Weekend numbers consistently across the country seem to be spotty for some reason.Some positive news from Georgia, our new cases and deaths are down.
I hope this continues because we need some good news.
Generally the only people being tested are those who are hospitalized so any positives give you a snapshot of who got infected about two weeks ago. So if Georgia didn't institute some sort of effective isolation orders those two weeks ago, then any decreases are either statistical blips or just an indication of poor testing. For Georgia, it should get worse and worse until the numbers peak in late May.Some positive news from Georgia, our new cases and deaths are down.

I saw maybe only 2-3 percent of people wearing masks yesterday.. and half of them were Asian.
