Just a heads up, the gov email to report violations of mandatory closings in Washington has had the information leaked. So everyone's complaints and personal information is now floating out there. I'm not sure if it's been covered in the news yet. I stumbled upon the leak and downloaded it and like 90% of the complaints are about golf courses.

Looks like Oregon is opening back up tomorrow if you aren't in Portland metro.  https://www.oregonlive.com/coronavi...ing-friday.html quote:“We are asking folks in metro area to be thoughtful of their fellow Oregonians, and to stay home and limit their travel to essential needs,” Brown said. “We obviously don’t want to overwhelm the rest of Oregon by traveling outside the metro area.” Gonna be a boomer haircut caravan from the burbs out to the valley lol

It's been all over social media thanks to the right-wing militia crowd (who just want people to know what's going on, of course, and are shocked when people who filed issues get a barrage of death threats). Also, it wasn't leaked - it was legitimately FOIA'ed as a public record. The info probably shouldn't have been subject to FOIA in the first place, but in the halcyon days of a month or so ago, people didn't really predict that neo-Nazis would be making death threats against people who report violations of the law.

Yakima County update: Attack rate approaching 20x King County. I don't want to beat up on non-Seattle metro, but I do want people to be aware that the risk of the outbreak in central/Eastern WA right now is significantly worse to individuals than it ever was in Seattle at the peak last month.

I love all these reasonable plans and requirements for reopening just getting thrown out the window immediately when nothing has changed. Oregon never did their 100k random tests, no longer need to hire contact tracers (just show you CAN), no longer need number to be below a limit. Just open back up. I've been staying away from one of my favorite places in klickitat county for this whole time to avoid travel and spreading this poo poo and right as things could be getting better it's going to kick off again in rural areas. This is dumb and I'm over it.

Inslee is basically the only governor to get this close to right. King county deaths peaked around the mid twenties and we are down to around 1 a day. I hope he keeps it up. I means the more conservative parts of the state aren’t going to do quite as well I think, but I don’t really blame him for that. The big challenge is going to be schools next fall, I really hope they have a solid plan for that and currently I think they will?

I think opening the parks back up probably helped here in WA quite a lot. It has seemed to be a low risk choice that let off a lot of steam. I was worried about it a lot (seriously the trailheads got turbo slammed). But it seems to have not increased our cases and deaths. We also seem to be way ahead on contactless stuff than other parts of the country. I think we did better with unemployment, not perfect by any means, but better than most of the country.

I'm not a huge Inslee fan on account of being a radical lefty, but yeah, its been pretty hard to find much fault with WAs response all things considered. At first I didn't think we had closed down fast enough but it seems to have worked, although as someone upthread said Yakima is getting slammed. I'm glad farmworkers are striking, I hope it means they stay safe and that Familias Unidas scores some more wins.

Everything good Kate Brown has done was following in Inslee's footsteps or caving to political pressure from Oregon Mayors and County officials. I fully expect her unclear and inconsistent opening strategy to be a catastrophe. Here's hoping geographic factors can overcome the incompetence.

Little Si lot full, overflow full, Tanner landing full out to the road, cars waiting on the road for people to leave. Slammed full. But people mostly seem to be staying away from each other. Not a lot of masks outdoors on things like the Snoqualmie valley trail, but again everybody seems to be staying away the hell away from each other. I mean personally if we go anywhere outside and there is anybody at all there, nope gently caress that go elsewhere is what we do. I thought we were going to get a spike about two weeks after he did it, but that seems not to have happened.

We would be going down a lot faster if we could keep everyone locked in their homes for a couple of weeks but I think we will at least be going down if offices, schools, restaurants, salons and gyms remain closed and people don't do any mass outdoor events. It's a lot harder for this to spread if there aren't groups of people congregating, especially indoors. There will definitely be cases here and there from parks, trails, etc. but you don't get superspreading events that way. Once we're down to a couple dozen cases a day, I think contact tracing becomes viable again and we can stamp out flare-ups that way.

Exactly, and now we have assholes screaming about how contact tracing is illegal and it’s the government spying on you and so on. I’m just hoping it’s bots but who really knows. But yeah, I can’t say I was a huge booster of Inslee before this but he’s been absolutely solid.

As far as I can tell, the Western States Pact is still going strong. All three states have the exact same policies of limited regional reopening based on statistical performance. Washington still has the most cases per capita, and is the most closed; Oregon has the least and is the most open. The only real caveat to this was when an Oregon circuit judge tried to single-handedly void the safety closures, and he was blocked by the supreme court within hours and will hopefully be voted out later this year for his trouble.

gently caress, there’s a gym near me that’s open and violating the law in doing so. The state Attorney General is already suing them, luckily. They currently have a GoFundMe up, aren’t those not allowed for this sort of thing? Any way to report it and get it shut down maybe?

Newsom is walking back a lot of the safety precautions in the reopening guidance (bad) and allowing self-certification by county/local officials that have proven that they don't care about public health (bad): https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/coronavirus/california-reopening-stay-home-order-coronavirus-covid-19-gavin-newsom/2364760/ This is a serious problem because CA's case growth rate is not decreasing and its daily deaths have been flat since mid April. That means that there is sustained community transmission and r0 is hovering around 1 on a base of several tens of thousands of active cases. Relaxing the re-opening guidance under the circumstances will result in a return to exponential growth.

Does anybody have any advice on getting into contact with Oregon Unemployment (other than the obvious good luck)? Haven't gotten a check in a few weeks because I need to contact them and explain why I was still furloughed after four weeks and now I have to figure out what I do now that I'm officially laid off. I've tried calling, I've sent some emails, but no responses. I even tried calling unemployment at like 3am to see if I was even calling the right number. I've asked my previous place of work what to do and they have been frustratingly quiet. I know I am far from the only person dealing with this but its all just so frustrating.

My cousin and his wife were successful repeat dialing beginning at 6:50 AM (lines open just before 7) on 2 different phones. I was unsuccessful trying that for my father in law and gave up after 1500 dials, but I only did it for one day and then he and my MIL tried again for a few hours on a couple other days but may not have started early enough. In the end he was laid off for 6 weeks and got his first check on Tuesday of the week he returned to work.

Oregon elections aren't looking great. The most progressive candidate for Portland City Commissioner is in 4th place, Wheeler might win outright tonight, and the dem Secretary of State Primary is ever so slightly going against the union backed candidate. Could be a lot worse but an incumbency/establishment advantage amidst the Covid crisis seems clear.

Figured people could at least leave it blank. That city council race is pretty crummy. I wasn’t impressed at all with Dan Ryan who’s whole deal seems to be that he built a very diverse transportation company or something. Also looks like the other city council race will come down to Eudaly and Mingus Mapps. Mapps seems pretty drat conservative but I guess “I’ll be nicer to landlords and developers” is a winning message these days. Pretty disappointing really but might as well rip the Wheeler band aid off early since even if it went to a runoff we’re getting another four years of his old money police loving rear end.

Well the last secretary of state ended up Governor so I was hoping Shemia Fagan could take a similar path. Besides, conducting fair elections has become a political policy issue, one which we can't even trust everyone with a D next to their name to handle the right way. I wouldn't call Mingus Maps conservative. He was part of Eudaly's staff until she proved her self incompetent. Through union work it has been stressed to me time and again that previous Eudaly supporters have been deeply disappointed at her inability to handle the day to day tasks of governance. By comparison, everything good you've ever heard about Jo Ann Hardesty is an understatement. She and her team are rock stars. Hope! https://www.wweek.com/news/2020/05/...ace-tightening/

I’m in WA, and I know our close elections can take like a week or more to finalize because of the whole mail-in only thing. I’m assuming that’d be similar in OR, or am I wrong there? Like, one of our progressive Seattle City Council members was down on the day of the election last year (plus a few days post-election), but she had a pretty significant advantage in late returns and ended up winning. generic one fucked around with this message at 23:30 on May 20, 2020 |
