i am harry posted:Something said the protests weren’t causing an influx of cases likely because of mask wearing. I’m going to assume the rallies will cause an influx just like memorial day did, and that this will further a conspiracy that the virus is targeting a specific group of voters. The protests were mostly outdoors and tended to involve mostly younger people. Trump's rallies will be in enclosed spaces with HVAC and full of old people with comorbidity factors. Plus the masks, right - Trump refuses to wear one, and the people in the crowd will follow his example.

A Fancy Hat posted:VVV - my father in law also wanted to do a "family get-together" this past weekend. My wife and I were going to go when we thought it was 8 people in total hanging around outside. I haven't 100% committed to it but I'm also kind of making up for a decade of having a reputation as the family member that just bails on family stuff in recent years. Ultimately, me not going would probably offend people but it wouldn't be the end of the world or anything. To be fair, it's outdoors and if I did go I would be avoiding getting near anyone and I'm not planning on going inside. More than anything I am worried that it going to be exactly like you said and I'll show up to find absolutely no one trying to protect themselves and cramming inside. I'll also probably just look like a wet blanket wearing a mask and backing off when people get too close. I should probably just eat my family getting mad at me not go. I'm more worried about my parents than myself. They are old and they are just being so stupid about it.

Wafflecopper posted:In New Zealand we had no new cases for 24 days and no active cases for the last week or two. Just had a couple of new cases in from overseas but hopefully they haven't spread it to anyone (somebody hosed up and let them out of quarantine early or something but they're isolated again now and apparently didn't come into close contact with anyone) and for the last couple of weeks life has been back to normal with the exception of the closed borders and the economic fallout. But bars are open, gatherings can happen, social distancing is over. Yeah, that was two women from the UK. Sorry about that. quote:After both women tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday, one reported that in hindsight she had been experiencing symptoms, but had attributed them to a pre-existing medical condition.

Talking to southern conservative coworkers, it’s now official what their covid mental gymnastics are in place of recognizing trump’s gross negligence: Hospitals get paid to claim deaths are due to covid, so they’re tacking it onto everything. Test positive after bleeding out from a gunshot? Covid. Greedy hospitals and Nancy Pelosi are getting rich as long as we glorify this as more than the flu.

I've reached the point where I'm getting labeled "dramatic" because I'm not desensitized to half a million worldwide deaths. I had to tell someone in a group text thread they are tripping if they think movie theaters are a great idea to head to as they open up across the country in July. Then I said gently caress it and muted the thread instead of losing more brain cells, why am I even wasting energy anymore. If I'm wrong, I'm still alive, if they are wrong, I'm dead.

My office on April 30, "we're dedicated to safety and will likely not have a specific date where everyone must return to work. We will continue to be flexible." On May 5, "Everyone return to work on June 8." When I requested to continue working from home, which the entire office had been doing without issue for months, I was told to "either use vacation time or be at the office" I work with a bunch of Trump idiots and there's a Trump Rally a couple of hours away on Saturday so I'm going to feel at even greater risk in the coming weeks. What a bunch of stupid bullshit.

Hospitals make the vast majority of their money from elective procedures, which are no longer being done due to COVID-19 concerns. I'm an essential computer-toucher for a hospital so I and all other non-frontline employees that didn't get furloughed had to take significant pay cuts to prevent the hospital from going bankrupt. The brain worms aren't exclusive to non-hospital workers either. I've had coworkers go on about how since we're nowhere near close to capacity in the ICU that there's no reason not to open everything back up and end all restrictions. "It has a 98% survival rate! Are you going to live in fear your whole life?" is the sound you hear in the echo chamber.

zer0spunk posted:I've reached the point where I'm getting labeled "dramatic" because I'm not desensitized to half a million worldwide deaths. It probably helps if you think about in other terms. Those extra half a million worldwide deaths are really minor compared to the amount of people who die all the time anyway. You're upset because you hear about them on news every day. In fact I'll go further and say the actual death toll is much less than that because the social distancing and other restrictions have lowered regular transmitted disease rates pretty severely in most countries this year. The flu season, norovirus and strepto/pneumo stuff is down like more than half in tested infections compared to a regular year. So it looks worse than it actually is at least for now.

You've made your stance on COVID aka "gently caress it let's live" known many many times in this thread. And I've disagreed with it every time. Maybe if we lived in the same country, but even then more then likely not. I don't know why you think this time is any different. Just admit to your self marginalizing death is weird as hell at best socicopathic at worst and move on.

The problem is the slow-wave where it hit the coasts first before pushing in made those flyover states reckless. It's a contagious respiratory pandemic, act accordingly, don't sacrifice anyone needlessly.

I remember a FB post by our county health board saying cases were up 20% but that was a few weeks ago. I haven't checked in a while though. And yeah. Most things are completely open now. Restaurants were timid for a while since there was no warning or plan about the opening due to the republicans just taking it to the supreme court with no plan or even a plan for a plan. I haven't been to one though so I'm not sure what precautions they're taking.

We seem to be pretty much done here in Quebec, we just pass under the hundred case a day, as long we don't open our border to the us we will be ok I think. That doesnt mean I think we stop the measures but it's good we can breath for a bit.

According to the tracker I've been using for my state, my county's been in both the top 5 for new cases per day for 10+ days and also has more new cases per capita per day than the rest of the top 5 despite being a fraction of their size. god bless the south  also gently caress covid info groups on fb, the local one is entirely generational bitching about X group not wearing masks while shopping while tinfoilers talk about how we're all sheeple anyone else live in a sportsball town with likely reopening? I'm super not looking forward to the normal traffic influx, especially if it coincides with schools opening back up. local hospital is already treading water

It is not the kind of risk improvement that makes me change my behaviour. If I don't like the chances now, a 2/3rd chance is still not good. It is nice for the people who will be saved by it, but that is background statistics to me, to be honest, because I have very little intention to get hooked up on a ventilator.

NC is pretty strict on their rules, if the increase continues do you think they'll lock back down? I think unless the hospitals get overwhelmed and people start dying in the parking lot, they're not going to close poo poo. Last week the governor said he wouldn't rule out moving on to less restrictive phases, even with the increases in infection count and hospitalizations. Several counties and cities are considering mandatory mask orders, but it's not going to be enforced so no one's gonna do it who wasn't already.

Inept posted:Several counties and cities are considering mandatory mask orders, but it's not going to be enforced so no one's gonna do it who wasn't already. Mask orders can have an effect even when people are not wearing them. The first city in Germany that made masks mandatory saw a decrease in cases on the first day it was instated (a significant difference with the rest of Germany at that moment). Which couldn't be because of the masks, because it takes a couple of days before new infections become evident. Evidently the announcement - more than a week before - alone had made the people already more cautious in their behaviour, while they were searching to acquire a mask. Of course those were Germans from the city where Carl Friedrich Gauss, Bernhard Riemann, Niels Bohr, David Hilbert, Wilhelm Hillebrand, Max Planck, Grete Hermann, Leo Szilard, Edward Teller and Robert Oppenheimer have studied, and not red-neck Americans, but even in the USA there might be some tiny effect.

https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/coronavirus/dallas-woman-battling-coronavirus-again/2389265/ A Dallas woman appears to be suffering from COVID-19, *4 months* after a previous bout of it. This seems different from the cases where people simply tested negative, then positive after being infected. I really doubt she wasn't contagious for a second time if she was hospitalized for it twice.
