White House to urge Americans to wear face coverings in public to slow spread of coronavirus

Its problem is that only has age-related demographics from a few states. Or least that's what I assume.
Don't tell me that x % of Louisiana deaths are among people under 70 if your only comparisons are to individual, cherry-picked states. You need a national comparison.

 

OK, boys. We've been given the all clear!

 

Fortunately doesn't apply to my neighborhood courts. But in the field beside the courts this afternoon was a group of 10 people engaged in football drills. Not too much social distancing over there.

 

Just in time for the release on a new line of scarves, no doubt.

 

Does anybody think the most vain, self-absorbed person on the planet is going to take the lead and don a mask to set a good example? I have my doubts.

 

I dunno; he obviously already wears goggles every day, so maybe?

 

Nah, they'll cover it with great concern over how he broke chain of command, how the brave family members were thrown into a panic because of his recklessness and how he panicked in the face of a crisis.

 

Our mayor closed the facilities of public parks a week or so ago - mainly basketball and tennis courts and exercise stations - but said people can still exercise in the parks' open spaces if they maintain 6 feet of separation. I wondered why tennis courts were included, but it seems a lot simpler to close everything. At least here, there also might be some racial/class tension if basketball courts were closed but not tennis courts. I suppose you could also argue that the virus could be transmitted when tennis players alternate holding the ball to serve. While running on Tuesday, I noticed police cars driving around the park at least six times in 90 minutes, so the authorities seem to be taking it seriously.

 

My father was in the Navy for 33 years. Sat on many review boards and courts-martial. He said the officer in question is getting relieved because the letter went public and he broke the chain of command. They take that shit seriously.
