I was at the illegally reopened water park the other day and GOD so many idiots were packed in there! Nobody wearing masks, and they made me take mine off when I went down the big water slide, I only did it like 6 times before I noped out of it and spent the rest of the time in the tubing river. They weren't even making people socially distance at the snack bar, I kept glaring at people every time I got an ice cream cone.

I think there is a reasonable middle ground between cramming into packed bars and gyms, and never leaving the house. Like wear a mask, stay away from people, but if you're one of the people who literally aren't going outside, props to you but I can't do that.

update from the guardians liveblog:


Health authorities in Spain have revised downward the country’s death toll from the coronavirus by nearly 2,000, bringing the total number of deaths recorded to 26,834, AFP reports.

A new system of gathering data had allowed them to identify cases that were counted twice and exclude deaths wrongly attributed to the virus, said Fernando Simon, the health ministry’s emergencies coordinator.

“A variation of 1,900, that’s a lot,” he added. “We are trying to check that it’s correct, but these are the figures that we have at the moment.”

The health ministry, which gathers data from regional health authorities, also revised downwards the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus, from the 235,772 announced on Sunday to 235,400.

“We are satisfied with the growing quality of the information that allows us to take decisions,” said Simon. “It is something that happens in every epidemic, when the evolution of the epidemic leaves us with a bit more time, you have to correct the figures and in certain cases you have to reduce them,” he explained.

While the new system cut the number of deaths by 1,918, Spain remains one of the countries worst hit by the virus.

My buddy who's just as paranoid as I am is having it out with his chud girlfriend, she went to stay at a hotel the other night just to get away for a minute.

Turns out she was staying with her friend who's been bumbling and partying with people.

So that's going well.

I kinda wonder what it would take to have another NBA shutting down type event for the next wave. The only thing I can think of would be if a prominent college football team had a mass outbreak that resulted in the death of a player or head coach. But it couldn't be some random D3 school, it'd have to be Alabama or Clemson or somewhere like that.

I've been thinking for a few days about Nick saban screaming at the top of his lungs at his players and getting covid and dying and how most of the country would just be happy and 90% of Alabama would kill anyone who didn't wear a mask

Fortunately I already have 5 gallon water jugs because our water gets zebra musseled or shut off several times a year. It's starting to take a lot of reps for deadlifts to get anywhere.

I tried nordic curls instead the other day and I refuse to believe anyone can actually do them.

To be fair, I think the weather was a bit better today in England than in the north. But I've been to that NI beach on bank holidays in all weather, and it's usually pretty busy.

I ended up going to the coast yesterday, but was ready to turn back if it was a chud cattle market. I was pleasantly surprised:

Panfilo posted:

Had to calm my mom down this morning, she had an argument with my younger brother on the phone and had gotten really upset at how blase he is about sheltering in place. He lives up in Shasta County, and had recently boasted about how they had a Rodeo with 3000 people and nobody got sick. He thinks the whole pandemic is a big hoax and is really smug about how he's going to have fun at Lake Shasta while all the Bay Area people stay at home terrified of their own shadow.

He has his weird hate on for the Bay area even though he grew up here, and always has to dig for some excuse for why it sucks and why it's awesome where he lives - better air quality, no traffic, thinks people are 'nicer', and so on. So of course in the midst of the pandemic he's been using it as a further excuse why he chose to live where he does.

In spite of being in decent shape (eats well, has a job that keeps him very physically active) he's got asthma and abnormally high blood pressure. His young son also seems to have a chronic case of croup as well so I worry if they get Rona it could be unusually bad for their age groups as a result. I worry for him but it's just so stressful watching how careless some people are. At the same time, they have gotten very few cases where he lives so I don't know how big of an impact it's really going to have on their community.

Their reopening metrics like they started out at "continual decline" and they decided to round "holding steady" toward decline and call it close enough. Their website used to say

Goal: Less Than 1.0 Transmission Rate
Current: 0.95-1.05

or something like that, but they removed it and changed it to "Below 1.0", I'm guessing that was because that range was a 95% range of uncertainty, and they want to use the average and be 50% certain rather than being 95% certain by using the upper end. The other metrics are like "25% of hospital floor bed capacity available" and right next to them there's "26% of hospital floor bed capacity available"

This one time when I was early voting, the central bus station was being renovated and they changed the stops in a way not reflected by the schedule, so I just walked downtown through all the foot-traffic to the bus station instead. It was kind of fun because I stopped and decided to lean by the back alley wall of a bar playing blues or something and listen to it for a minute before continuing on

I hope Vandy still has their parking garage COVID ward set up
