Pretty smart considering Virginia has yet to flatten the curve.
Highest daily death count and highest daily reported new cases.

Psshh. That was so yesterday. Like literally that was a day ago.

It's pretty obvious we'll be at 100k deaths by next week. That's following almost nationwide restrictions on movement.

Just a friendly reminder that this is all about to accelerate again. I keep seeing people talk about an autumn resurgence. WTF makes these fools think summer is somehow magic? I get that fall may be worse given indoor proximity with colder weather but ain't nothin about no summer that keeps this mess from spreading. This started with one person and went global. I don't know what's so different about the next 4 months.

Seems like targeted isolation is whats needed now that we're getting a clearer picture of who's at risk.
WHO official on NPR stated covid will be with us for years and we need to adapt to life with it.
The death count is certainly sobering but, at least in covid-ridden MA, extremely narrow demographic.
60% of deaths here (and 30% nationally) are in assisted living facilities.

What you are saying is that there is a market for

It's funny that people think they can just treat their area like an island.

Everyone I know who lives around trail networks has echoed exactly what's happening here. Switch 'front range' for pretty much any urban area.

I have a positive case on one of my projects. Total shut down, cleaning protocol, contact tracing and isolating potential exposed parties. Ugh it's a lot to orchestrate with a hundred people. I can't imagine running this down in a town or city.

In the people's republic of california part of 'reopening' is establishing a minimum number of contact tracer jobs through county health departments (proportional to population).

That shit matters.

Tribal casinos have opened in the area. Cases among old Asian women have been lower than the per capital average, this should fix that.

To analyze bot activity around the pandemic, CMU researchers since January have collected more than 200 million tweets discussing coronavirus or COVID-19. Of the top 50 influential retweeters, 82% are bots, they found. Of the top 1,000 retweeters, 62% are bots.
Now, who would pay the huge cost of doing this?

All this negativity. I'm here to provide real solutions:

Miriani questioned governors in coastal states who closed beaches, arguing—without any basis in science or epidemiology, of course—that they should be encouraging people to go in the ocean.

“That’s saltwater. Salt kills things. It’s a cleans-ifier. Here we got the governor of California saying, ‘You can’t go to the beaches, instead you can stay home and fester with your viruses.’ That don’t make sense.”


And to think that dumbass @kidwoo ran from the the state that is practically surrounded by the life saving elixir. Have fun in blazing hot NV with your broped and nary a drop of salt water.

Actually...

Recent studies indicate that outdoors transmision is much more unlikely than we originally expected.
Other studies are linking low vitamin D with developping severe Covid-19.

Everybody going to the beach might be one of the best natural defenses we have against covid...

Especially when they're 2 feet from one another, throwing back Truly Hard Selzters and jamming out to some Kid Rock.

Whatever gets them out of the woods works for me.

I find a post ride jump in the ocean is the best way to neutralize any poison ivy and rinse off the ticks. Shame water temp is still low 50s right now.

Yeah, remember that they were saying UV (outside, not inside your body like the President) would destroy much much faster than if it was sitting on say cardboard indoors, so the transmission rates in a sunny warm environment may be extremely low, even if a COVID-er comes and spews virus everywhere.
