food chat was lame, can we go back to tearing each other apart for someone daring to express their intent to take a break from doom-scrolling in a relatively low-cost and safe manner?

Regularly ask for a month's probation from time to time and go ride a bike and hike and poo poo.

Ireland and Northern Ireland both have apps deployed that share data cross-border between the two healthcare systems. I don't think either of them have reached the user base required for them both to operate effectively though.

here let me answer all this guys concerns

Parents who stay home who develop symptoms? Do they not get high priority access to rapid testing?

no.

quote:

Americans do NOT have access to care.

Americans do NOT have the $$ to pay for testing & treatment.

And, our states by and large are still not prepared for massive contact tracing.

How's it going to go this fall when one student has symptoms and it takes 14 days for their #COVID swab to result?

most will not notice or care and the virus will spread and schools will remain open.

What about in flu season? We're short on reagents & swabs now, and we'll need double the supply this fall.

I also think that if you are being forced to work in a crowded environment and share a public bathroom during the daylight hours there’s a sense of “what’s the point of depriving myself if I’ll get it soon anyway”

Which is great because I don’t think I’ve been happier or healthier or better off financially in my adult life. Being out in nature and not filling myself with garbage food and booze to distract myself has been good to me.

Positive test rate in Florida has been holding strong at around 18% for roughly a month. There's been no change there. They are testing fewer people now with roughly half the administered tests of even a week ago.

yeah I can see a lot of people falling into this trap.

unfortunately it is wrong and bad. it’s not like corona looks at you at the restaurant and goes,

“oh poo poo, Karen has to go to work, so I’ll let one of her coworkers infect her later, instead”.

if you want to be intellectually dishonest and normalize spreading a deadly pandemic so we all have to stay in quarantine longer because you’re selfish and bored, sure, go ahead, I’m sure El Rona would be happy to hear your “relatively safe” vacation suggestions. perhaps a cruise ship would be nice, I hear those are reopening

It means Florida is still in horrific shape and anyone peddling that Florida is on the "other side of the curve" (Shapiro) is selling you on the undertesting going on.

If testing doesn't immediately resume pre-hurricane levels you can probably also make assumptions on how intentional that undertesting is.

I, too, like things to be normal, which is why I will be avoiding the highly contagious disease that may disable me for life, though I can't help but think of how many people are going to find out what it means to be disabled in our society. That's a sure way to never feel normal again. lol. lammo.

Once I was back in my apartment I had a full blown panic attack uncontrollable shaking and all. I had to take a shower and scrub myself clean to calm myself down.

if you reduce the number of people being tested but the number of positives stays roughly the same then the infection rate is going up, but not evenly. a lot of places are probably gonna look like nyc - some places get absolutely loving shredded, and some places are almost untouched.

guess what the places that got shredded have in common? if you guessed "poorer parts of the city" then you win a prize! of coronavirus.

Already canceled my vacation rental in Florida for March because there’s absolutely no way that state gets its poo poo together by then.
