And...they announced 995.  I was close.

Which means the real number is closer to 1500

I know its not the point of this post, but I just want to take a moment to state Beyonce is about the the most stunningly attractive woman I have ever seen. 

She's fine for sure but there definitely more beautiful women out there.

 

DeSantis is on the news right now blaming those pesky kids for his inability to contract trace.

It would take ~2-weeks for the mask mandate to affect numbers. People typically don’t get tested unless they are feeling unwell or knowingly was in contact with someone who has tested positive.

AMC, CINEMARK and other Exhibitors Sue New Jersey for "Unconstitutional" COVID-19 Opening Delay

 

Quote

Major movie theaters in New Jersey have filed a federal lawsuit against the state for its decision to hold back on reopening multiplexes due to lingering concerns about COVID-19. The National Association of Theatre Owners of New Jersey is leading the complaint (read it in full HERE), with major circuits like AMC, Cinemark and Regal also on board. The suit was filed Monday in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.

 

The Garden State, like New York and Connecticut, has made great strides in combating the virus and has some of the lowest rates of infections in the country — though the rate has increased slightly in recent days. New Jersey has been steadily lifting restrictions, allowing houses of worship, casinos and shopping malls to reopen and permitting outdoor gatherings of up to 500 people.

There is some truth to this, but is complicated by the fact that Florida has ~1/3 of the contract tracers that they need to effectively do their job

This is far more plausible than the covid party bullshit from a few pages ago

239 Experts With One Big Claim: The Coronavirus Is Airborne (New York Times)

 

From a practical standpoint, I don't see this necessarily changing already-established patterns in places that have already imposed significant restrictions.

 

WHO acknowledges 'emerging evidence' of airborne spread of COVID-19 (NBC News)

Quote

The World Health Organization on Tuesday acknowledged "emerging evidence" of the airborne spread of the coronavirus, after a group of scientists wrote a letter urging the global body to update its guidance on how the respiratory disease is spread.

 

Speaking at a briefing in Geneva, Dr. Benedetta Allegranzi, a WHO expert, said the organization believed it had "been open to the evidence on modes of transmission" of the new virus.

Trump administration moves to formally withdraw US from WHO (The Hill)

Quote

The White House has officially moved to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), a senior administration official confirmed Tuesday, breaking ties with a global public health body in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

The U.S. has submitted its withdrawal notification to the United Nations secretary-general, the official said. Withdrawal requires a year's notice, so it will not go into effect until July 6, 2021, raising the possibility the decision could be reversed.

I went to Kings Island today. Overall, I was really impressed with what they were doing, and people were mostly following the rules. It honestly felt as safe as my average trip to the grocery store. I'm not sure how well their procedures will hold once they open to the general public next week, so I'm glad I took my shot now. 

 

The new giga coaster, Orion, was pretty disappointing though. It's really similar to Diamondback, just taller and a little faster. I'm really salty that they tore down Firehawk for this.

I live a couple miles from there and worked just across the highway for years and haven’t been since like 2007

That’s not the issue here, it’s actually the ridiculous wording of the order which explicitly denies the ability of LEOs to arrest, and most importantly, detain violators. How do you write a citation to somebody violating the mask order without detaining them. Abbott’s team is either incompetent or did it on purpose, or maybe a little of both?

Yeah but it doesn't change the fact that electing law enforcement is a mistake. A terrible one at that.

Correct. It’s bad public policy, it just doesn’t have anything to do with the issue here. Normal city police forces are also saying the same thing because the order is garbage.

Enforcing the law is inherently violent.
