We seem to have community spread within just McDonald's in Melbourne right now. 14 different locations have been shut down after outbreaks.

Colorado has officially started hiding its death numbers. "Died with Covid-19" is now state policy. Death toll dropped by 30%.



I just noticed that the Guardian has reported the latest death here as "died with" even though the state and federal governments have counted it in the official numbers for covid-19 deaths. Weird.

It only counts as community transmission if they can't trace the source of the outbreak.

In the McDonald's cases, it seems to have been a delivery driver who made deliveries to all of the now closed stores. There's a case in the McDonalds cluster where a staff member had close contact with a relative (who works at a different Maccas) who tested positive for covid. I don't think it's been established yet whether either of them got it from the delivery driver.

Obviously the possibility of transmission during deliveries is something which now needs to be taken into account and a realistic infection control plan developed given that hundreds of thousands of deliveries to business take place throughout the country every day.

Practice social distancing by eyeballing what seems like 6 feet to you. Wash your hands for 20 seconds unless you get bored. Carry a mask somewhere on your person as a talisman to ward off the virus.

Tested positive the day after the mother's day service. You just know that she had symptoms and went anyway because she couldn't stand missing the extra special (illegal) service.

Or had she been tested already and attended service while the result was pending (Rand Paul style)? Unlikely that results came back same day.

Also lmao at the absolute lack of teeth in any of these lockdown rules. A sternly worded, "We told you guys no church services! You're gonna ruin it for the rest of us!" And then zero actual repercussions...

Who did you pretend to be when you said he had the wrong number? I usually change between emergency cell phone of a child and I'm the parent who just got the number and new employee of a ATT store who is confused because this isn't their fault

The church was in violation of the stay-at-home order California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) issued on March 19, which prohibits large public gatherings. Butte County Public Health officials said ignoring the state order could lead to "more restrictive measures" as the virus continues to spread in California.

Oh no! Not hypothetical more restrictive measures that you will also be free to ignore!

This is some "I'm gonna turn this car around, so help me!" level enforcement.

It's easy to hide the COVID-19 deaths but thankfully its actually pretty hard to hide deaths in America. We have decent systems for accurately reporting excess mortality.

All of which indicate that the official death toll is something like 30-50% undercounted.

Yeah, but they don't give a poo poo if researchers get a good grip on the actual death numbers in a year or whatever. The point is to cook the real-time reporting so that there's less of a push for further lockdowns and people are more comfortable going outside. Stuff like this is literally a direct attempt to get people sick.
