Coronavirus

Mixed blessing? Maybe all your relatives should come visit you.

Not likely. No one in their right mind visits SC in the summer only to have to also suffer a 14-day quarantine upon return to NJ.

Feasible to enforce this for people traveling by public transport, but does anyone know how it's enforced for drivers? Are there check stations at the borders on all roads?

If I had to guess, you'll probably get pulled over by NJ state troopers and questioned, maybe. They're notorious dicks. With an SC tag they'll probably hassle you real bad.

Sometimes I wonder how I managed to go from quite possibly the dumbest part of the Northeast (South Jersey), to the one of the dumbest parts of the Southeast.

That's a serious self reflection contemplation thought. If only there was some sort of substance that could assist you....

That you think you're in one of the dumbest parts of the Southeast says more about your apparent lack of travel in the really dumb parts. Ask boatrocker. Actually, you're not even in the dumbest part of SC.

Fair enough.

Greenville's alright. I have tons of respect and admiration for this city.

South Jersey is a big cesspool of humanity. Pretty countryside, but some of the dumbest people on the planet.

Governor Greg Abbott warned Monday that the coronavirus is now spreading in Texas at an “unacceptable rate” and pleaded with residents to wear masks in public and continue practicing social distancing.

“To state the obvious, COVID-19 is now spreading at an unacceptable rate in Texas, and it must be corralled,” Abbott said at a news briefing.

Texas has seen more than 25,000 new coronavirus cases over the past week and on Friday recorded a one-day record of 4,600 new positive cases. The spike in cases comes after Texas allowed businesses to reopen at 75 percent capacity earlier this month.

"pleaded with residents"?? After recognizing an "unacceptable rate", what did he do? Require masks? Nope. Move the hotspot places back a phase or 2? Nope. Threaten businesses that don't bother to comply? Nope. He did nothing, including not even bothering to wear a chin bra so as to pretend to believe his own "plea." Find one example of a state getting compliance with anything that it didn't find important enough to make a law. How about speed "suggestions"? How about asking for voluntary donations in place of taxes? Everything a state really believes to be important gets a law or regulation.
Idiot.

New U.S. COVID-19 cases surpass peak set in April as states rethink strategy

...



At this point the virus is not spiking in places that were previously hit hard, such as New York state, where cases continue to drop — despite concerns earlier this month that the massive Black Lives Matter protests would result in a new spike.

Multiple outlets reported Wednesday that the White House planned to close 13 federally funded testing sites at the end of the month. This news comes amid reports that testing capacity in some states is “overwhelmed.” The New York Times reported that last Friday the largest lab in Arizona received more than twice as many samples as it could process, and that hundreds of appointments at a large testing facility on the state fairgrounds are reserved within minutes of opening every morning.

Despite the rise in cases across the state, a couple of hundred demonstrators turned out in Scottsdale to protest the city’s new mandatory mask rule. A city councilman, Guy Phillips, removed his mask, saying, “I can’t breathe” — mocking both the public health order and the Black Lives Matter protests over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Republican Gov. Doug Ducey called Phillips’s comments “just flat out wrong” and said that “despicable doesn’t go far enough” in describing them. Ducey has refused to mandate mask wearing, instead merely suggesting that citizens don them. He called it “an issue of personal responsibility” and “[asked] Arizonans to make responsible decisions to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.” ...

New forecast: 180,000 U.S. deaths of COVID-19 by October. But mask order can save 33,000

Experts have now forecast that there will be 179,106 COVID-19 deaths in the United States by Oct. 1. But a universal mask-wearing order in the US could save as many as 33,000 lives.

The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation released a model Wednesday with a range of 159,497 to 213,715 deaths nationwide.

Institute Director Dr. Chris Murray, however, said that mask wearing has a “profound effect” on the epidemic.

Wearing a mask “is extremely low-cost, and, for the individual, provides a 1/3 — as high as one half — reduction in the risk of transmission,” he said in a video press release. “But at the community level, can save an extraordinary number of lives.”

The projection comes as more than 36,000 new infections were reported Wednesday by state health departments, passing the previous record of 34,203 single-day infections set on April 25....

Mask-wearing has become politicized, with anti-mask rallies held in Arizona even as Gov. Doug Ducey gave local communities the authority to require masks last week, and both Scottsdale Mayor Jim Lane and the Phoenix City Council issued mask mandates this week.

In Washington Tuesday, Gov. Jay Inslee announced a statewide mandate requiring facial coverings in public to slow the spread of COVID-19, while on Wednesday, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper signed an executive order requiring face coverings in public.

Arizona hospitals on Tuesday reported the highest-ever number of beds and ventilators used for confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patients, reported the Arizona Republic, a USA TODAY Network publication. Arizona’s stay-at-home order expired mid-May.

But as of mid-June, wearing face masks in public has prevented up to 450,000 new cases, according to a study by Health Affairs journal....

Arizona, California, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma and South Carolina reported record-high daily coronavirus cases this week, as case counts continue to rise in more than half of U.S. states....

... ‘It’s like a child who can’t believe this has happened to him. All his whining and self-pity. This pandemic didn’t happen to him, it happened to all of us,’ Biden said during a healthcare-themed speech in Lancaster, Pennsylvania Thursday. ‘His job isn’t to whine about it, his job is to do something aboiut it, to lead.’

... ‘President Trump publicly claimed that and I quote, “anybody, anybody that wants a test, anybody, can get it.” It simply was not true – and he knew it,’ the former vice president said

He slightly changed his delivery when he got to Trump’s comments.

‘And then five days ago, at his campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he admitted telling people and I quote “you’ve gotta slow the testing down. Slow it down, please,”‘ Biden said, using a Trump-ish tone again. ‘He actually said it, in his hour, 50 minute speech – “slow the testing down please,”‘ Biden added....

‘Some survivors will experience lasting health impacts – like lung scarring and heart damage,’ Biden said. ‘If Donald Trump prevails in court, insurers would be allowed to strip away coverage or jack up premiums – simply because of their battle with the coronavirus.’

‘They would live their lives caught in a vise between Donald Trump’s twin legacies: his failure to protect the American people from the coronavirus, and his heartless crusade to take health care protections away from American families,’ Biden added.

He demanded, again, that the president stop supporting the lawsuit.

The Supreme Court is likely to hear the suit in the fall – possibly before the presidential election – but wouldn’t deliver a decision until spring.

‘I cannot comprehend the cruelty that is driving him to inflict this pain on the very people he is meant to serve,’ the ex-vice president said.

There's a whole list of crimes that PINO could theoretically be charged with on 1/21/21. I don't see why depraved indifference homicide, multiple counts, couldn't be one of them.
