Birx says U.S. has entered a 'new phase' of pandemic as cases, deaths rise
"I want to be very clear what we're seeing today is different from March and April," Birx told CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, noting that cases were increasing in rural and urban areas. "It is extraordinarily widespread."
Asked about an estimate from former Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Scott Gottlieb that virus deaths could top 300,000 by the end of the year, Birx said "anything is possible."

School re-opening is going well

A School Reopens, and the Coronavirus Creeps In (Published 2020)

As more schools abandon plans for in-person classes, one that opened in Indiana this week had to quarantine students within hours.

We're getting 2 days a week in school and 3 virtual. Someone's not gonna be working.....I almost feel like why risk those 2 days and go all at home. It's cutting out a whole income anyway...

Home schooling is a full-time position......its gonna be tough and it will get harder.

My generation spends about 80 years on this planet. The children today, that survive, will be here longer. Easily enough time to make up a two or even three year deficit.

Exactly our thoughts. We are hoping they follow through with not opening schools til after Columbus day where I am. Enough time for the tourists to bug out and let things clear up a bit. I dont see how waiting a month or two would hurt these kids anymore than if they all got sick. It looks like we are following the same gameplan as @DarkWeb state though, couple days a week for school which makes no sense to me.

The local hospital sent out an email that I read over text message. It stated in the past they were only allowed to show confirmed positive tests on Maine residents only and any worker or tourist testing positive from out of state would not be reflected on the overall positive list. For the sake of the community they now will be showing all positives, tourists, workers and residents.

Ahh the Floriduh statistics plan is finally getting revised. Apparently the new database is running a week behind from what I've heard. The CDC had stats out the next day. Nice to have a better database coming online with natural stress testing built in.

OK.


Somebody puts a gun to your head and makes you sit down by yourself at a table with 3 chairs in an 8X8 room. He then sets down a factory sealed n95, a box of surgical masks and a face shield and leaves the room and locks the door.

He then announces that in 2 minutes, he is going to let in 2 asymptomatic positive covid-19 carriers who will sit at the table with you while they loudly argue about whether masks are useful.

The door remains locked for 10 minutes before you can leave.

You going to put on that PPE or not?

Yes or no?

Edit: I can't hear you, what was the answer again?

I have to get face fitted for using ventilators at work. They put a big bubble over your head and pump it full of bitter tasting gas.
If you flinch you fail. And your not allowed to work untill you can pass.
If there's the slightest gap anywhere round the mask you breath it in, the tester sees you flinch so you've gotta do it again.
These mask people where are not sealed. Therefor whatever they breath in contains all the toxins and shite floating about in the air around them.
I do demolition for a living. Gotta work around heavy dust, fumes and asbestos.
If an unsealed mask offers zero protection against any of that then it offers zero protection to killer plagues.
It's massively reduces the risk of an infected person spreading it to others but offers zero protection to the wearer against covid .
The air around the mask is what you breath in as it gets sucked in through all the holes.
If it's not sealed it's useless for PPE. Ask anyone who works in any sort of construction and they'll tell you the same.

2 weeks late and didn't answer the simple question.

Says a lot in itself.

Wow, that’s scary! I just watched a Delta airlines video showing how they clean the airplane so Thorough using a special fogging mist every night and carefully wiping down all the surfaces. Be nice if it were believable. I don’t trust that is very detailed work and so much can be missed . All the little areas and seat belt details . You gotta do it yourself to be sure

Southwest won't be cleaning the seat belts.

"Areas such as arm rests and seat belts will not be wiped down between each flight with the new policy."

Southwest reduces aircraft cleaning between flights, focusing on tray tables over seat belts

Southwest's new cleaning procedure focuses on tray tables and lavatories between flights, not armrests and seat belts, which are cleaned nightly.

Maine was a little surprising for me.

We're back under 100 new cases per day for the past two days. I think it's going to get much worse when they start opening schools next month.

I did though. I explained to you how ridiculous it is to think that a loose fitting mask offers any sort of protection from covid.
Therefor I obviously wouldn't bother about putting the mask on.
Sorry for assuming you were vaguely intelligent and would be able to figure that out. I'll remember to pull out the sock puppets next time. Do you have a favourite colour you'd like me to use?
(Edit) sorry I missed the 95 bit. We call them ffp3 here. those are sealed and absolutely will help the wearer quite a bit but 99% of people don't wear those.
They wear loose fitting ones and those do not compare even slightly.

Overall there are more ppl wearing masks than not from what I've seen. It's younger 20 somethings and boomers who are not. I see a lot of tourists wearing them while shopping in town as well.

Needs barbed wire like Lucile.

I just finished season 10 and had not yet been introduced to Negan when you posted Lucille. What a great, twisted character he played.
Horror/scifi genre is not really my thing but I'm going to nerd out so hard when the movies are released.

Very similar to here. 60% of new infections are under 30.

I read twd compendium 3 before negan came to the television series. He was so over the top batshit crazy that I didn't see how he would translate to tv without coming off ridiculous. I don't think anyone but Jeffrey Dean Morgan could have pulled it off. I stopped watching in season 9, it just deviated so far from the original comic.

JDM has such a familiar face, he looks like the finance manager at a local auto dealership by me lol. I'm not sure if that's what makes him likeable even though he's such a monster. Great actor.

I can understand why you stopped watching, especially if you were into the comics. I think keeping any show on for 10+ seasons would be a challenge, especially trying to stick to an original storyline. The twist with Rick made me continue watching even thought I felt like the show had jumped the shark a bit. I didnt want any spoilers so I didnt google anything up until I was done with season 10. I'll check out season 11 and definitely the movies if they ever come out.

How much should be shut? What is the sign of recovery and an impetus to live.
