I'm seeing reports now that 13 of the recovering sailors have tested positive for covid again and that 1 has tested positive for TB.

We're seeing a ton of people that never kinda get better. like their symptoms last for months. they don't get convalescent or anything but once every two weeks they get knocked on their rear end again for 4-5 days.

TB is endemic in the US but we don't get a poo poo because it's easily treated. If you get TB in the US your treatments are provided by the government and you'll be forced to home quarantine. not like covid poo poo like a deputy will sit outside your home and make sure you stay the gently caress in it.

We don't even test for it unless you work in healthcare. millions of americans likely have some stage of it.

They do, but it is a real question if many states are going to be able to pay it out in the next few months without further federal intervention.

The way things work out unemployment may just turn into an unofficial UBI, because if it stops, there is nothing left to prop up the country.

Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the state will move into a “full Phase 1” reopening starting Monday.

That means gyms, which have until now been excluded from the partial reopening that started May 4, can open at 50 percent capacity. Restaurants, retail shops, museums and libraries, which had been allowed to serve people at a quarter of their inside capacity, can now also serve patrons at 50 percent. Counties can apply to the state to allow vacation rentals. Even theme parks have been told to plan reopening, DeSantis said, by having their operators submit a safety plan to the state.

I think most of those "Capacity" regulations are based around the concept of a maximum building occupancy as decided by the fire ordinance.

So it's a number so high it's functionally useless as a restriction since the average Chili's or whatever is like "Max Occupancy 250" so going by those restrictions they could "only" have 100+ people inside.

Made my first bean thing in the crock pot, similar to budget bytes recipe but I didn't have onion or garlic handy. It turned out okay except I put in way more pinto beans than black beans, and the pinto beans were raw so I soaked them as per instructions, but they didn't get soft enough. So like half of this thing I made is pinto beans that aren't soft enough lol

Watch this video for a good FL laugh and more wisdom from Ron Desantis.

He claimed opening up gyms will help prevent Corona Virus deaths since it only kills people with pre-existing health problems.

https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/05/15/florida-gyms-studios-given-green-light-to-reopen-by-gov-ron-desantis/


quote:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis officially gave gyms, fitness centers and studios the OK to reopen starting Monday as Florida enters the full phase one of his reopening plans amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Fitness businesses have been shuttered since early April when Florida began a stay-at-home order.

Under the White House guidelines, gyms could have opened under the first stage but DeSantis said he held off on that step after speaking to state health officials.

DeSantis said all fitness centers need to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines on social distancing and sanitation. He also asked those working out to follow basic gym courtesies, such as wiping up after themselves.

“If you are sweating on the bar, clean the dip bar,” the governor said.

DeSantis said gyms with outdoor or warehouse-style spaces such as CrossFit will be better prepared to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

“Don’t we want people to be able to exercise? Don’t we want people to stay in shape,” DeSantis said, adding that healthy people are more resistant to severe cases of the coronavirus.

Under phase one reopening guidelines, gyms and fitness centers remained closed but nail and hair salons weren’t originally included in phase one, and DeSantis later allowed those to reopen as well.

That restriction was lifted after Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings wrote a letter requesting the governor to consider allowing personal care businesses to reopen. After meeting with Orlando barber and hair shop owners DeSantis granted the request.

“They’ve got great setups,” DeSantis said of hair and barbershops. “You go into these shops and it’s like going into an operating room.”

The governor referred to these new changes Friday as the “full phase one."

Under the expanded phase one, DeSantis is allowing restaurants and retail businesses to increase their capacity from 25% to 50%. The same goes for libraries and museums if approved by local governments.

The governor spoke about working with theme parks, including Disney World and Universal Orlando, on their reopening plans.

“Parks can submit reopening plans to the state," DeSantis said, adding the parks will also need an endorsement from local officials, such as the Orange County mayor.

Universal and Disney officials have not yet announced plans to reopen their theme parks in the U.S. Universal’s CityWalk shopping and entertainment venue opened Thursday and Disney Springs will open on May 20, in a limited capacity.

DeSantis said all professional sports are OK to begin training again.

“Once the season starts you can use our facilities,” he said.

Major League Soccer teams, including the Orlando City Lions, began training last week.

The only businesses not given the go-ahead to reopen in Florida that were included in the White House phase one reopening guidelines are movie theaters.

DeSantis said drive-thru theaters can continue to operate because they pose no risk for the virus spread and are “100% OK.”

Yeah, look, wrt to spikes and consequences of opening up and stuff, you gotta remember that viruses don't work on a timeline that is satisfying or quick or easily understandable for anyone. We often expect things to be apparent right away, but that's just not the case. Spread of the virus has a time lag. Reporting has a time lag. Deaths have a time lag. Etc.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/05/is-reopening-safe-after-covid-19-we-wont-know-for-weeks/611743/

it's like how some aircraft can go into an unrecoverable oscillation because of the delay between input and effect. inexperienced or unqualified pilots would attempt to make corrections that would only worsen the situation.
