Credit to the cops for chasing (and not parading) them

gently caress indeed. Today I saw two very old people goto Church which I think is still definitely an no go.

The parks are getting slammed. Lolling at the trail heads.

I was watching the camera near the Fauntleroy ferry terminal and it was full of cars that hadn't moved for like 20 minutes then I realized they were parked there to go to the park and not to use the ferry.

Lincoln Park must be absolutely full today.

Mostly people are staying apart from what I see, but that’s still a lot of passing on the trails.

Guess we get to test outdoor transmission vs indoor.

Can also confirm the trailhead at Dirty Harry's Balcony (another trail along I-90) had a full lot at 7 AM, followed by a line of parked cars seemingly all the way to the highway turn-off when we left at 10:30. For the most part, people were good about distancing as best as possible, however the majority of people did not have a mask and a few groups were rather large (8 or so.)

The only hiking I've done since this started was at places that get little enough traffic that you can just give a wide birth to the 2 people you happen to encounter.

Yeah I've been doing all my outdoor stuff on blm land and getting gas at home before I go. Wonder what happened where everyone decided to go out (other than weather).

In Oregon they announced limited opening starting on the 15th based on some criteria so who knows how that'll go. New cases are starting to climb again and haven't meaningfully gone down since this all started, but I guess it's time to reopen rural Oregon.

I hike around there a lot and my best advice is to stay the gently caress away from the I-90 corridor for at least a few weeks. Find a nice National Forest road that you've never seen listed online and explore it.

King County's outbreak is continuing to slowly lose steam:


So where are all these new cases coming from?



Yakima now has an attack rate over 10x that of King. I think we're going to see this repeated across the state as rural counties go from a few isolated cases that sputter out on their own to exponential community transmission.

On the bright side, a lot of those communities don't have hospitals to be overwhelmed, anymore.

No, wait, that's less "bright side" and more "horrifically capitalist dystopian side."

Yeah eastern Washington is blowing up, coddled by less infrastructure and money, and like many rural areas, Republican leadership.

Perhaps bad verb there, but attributing coddled to virus, not the expedient death of my countless enemies in Yakima, or something

Just got a call from Chris Armitage in WA-05 and I was super impressed. Really encourage folks to consider donating to him. I think he's in a winnable position and he's the right guy for the district.

Here's the district info
https://ballotpedia.org/Washington%27s_5th_Congressional_District_election,_2020

https://armitageforcongress.com/

I had already read up on the basics of his campaign and stances but during our chat I asked him about his opinions on like the socialist rifle association and such and he's very pro de-militarizing the police and better background checks and wait times with out fully throwing guns out the window which is a big deal in that region.

I also volunteered to do phone banking for him because It's a tiny district and the conversations could be pretty interesting.

Inslee presser:
https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/inslee-announces-plan-states-covid-19-contract-tracing-system/S5S5V43QXFBPHPSI5PNXDAOAT4/

They've recruited 1300 people from the guard, health depts, and DoL to create a contact tracing army. I'm really sad we're not about to just smash this the way South Korea did (and the way we could have if our national government wasn't totally hosed), but this is a pretty drat good plan given the constraints. Get the case-counts down with lockdowns until there's a small enough number that you can contact trace everyone again and eradicate the outbreak one county at a time.

Inslees plans have been solid, well lain out and moving as fast they possibly could.

Contrast with every other idiot on the national stage he's pretty much the face of competency in the US right now. Kinda going to be sad to lose him to a cabinet position.

We're more likely to lose him to an election than to a cabinet position for the next four years.

Gov. Brown's plan sounded pretty good when she announced it (100k tests to assess undiagnosed spread, contact tracing, limited reopening county by county, etc.) But it appears there has been no action on this plan which is frustrating, and new cases are starting to go back up.

Can't wait for all the rural counties to open, people to run out there from the metro area and cases to sky rocket and parks to close for another 3 months. I just want to go out in the woods with my roommate and not worry about all our usual access points being closed and worrying about tickets.

Fortunately if you look up whether or not things are open on here https://oregonstateparks.org/index.cfm?do=v.dsp_parkStatus they all have "Do not travel far to visit" in the description. This is something that folks will see and respect so it should work out.

Seattle parks are open, but the parking lots are closed (at least, at the ones I've been to). This, as it turns out, does a lot to mitigate that issue.

Meanwhile, at Howarth Park in Everett, there's a residential area right next to the park and people just park along those streets instead.

It could be worse. I live on a park, like the living room opens up to it, live on it. Had my kids out today (no one within 50+ ft). Two ladies drive in, not distancing, walking their dogs by commented “now there will be more of that”. Same type of people that like to call the cops on the Hispanic kids that also literally live on the park.
