Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

My son in law went back to work, Sisco, so I started taking care of the grandkids. We have been very careful, wearing masks inside and in the car. Luckily I have a van and they sit way in the back, seats in the middle tucked in anyway so it's great for getting places. There has been talk about virtue signaling regarding masks and people wearing them in cars for some sinister reason. We wore them in the car because it seems like the thing to. They are in the back but still it felt right. Then after going home after day 2 of wearing my mask more than I have been use to , I totally forgot that I had it on and only realized it a couple miles in. So I suppose people may be wearing them in their car for a variety of reasons.

 

Here in London, riding the tube in the morning, I'm definitively seeing a class divide. Very few office workers, the type who can reasonably work remotely. Lots more construction and service industry folk (not an especially encouraging amount, in terms of the economy, but there.)

Edit: Aside from public transport, I realized that how I "ride the tube" is nobody else's concern.

 

WWE halts production after wrestler tests positive for COVID-19

 

I'll take "posts from Feb/early March that didn't age well" for $500, Alex

And two that, ahem, I seem to recall...

 

But...but...nobody could have possibly known!

 

Has anybody else here been tested more than once? I posted here about being tested in mid-March. I was tested again due to a doctor's over-abundance of caution a couple of weeks ago. Both were negative. I found out today that I will have to be tested six days before a minor medical procedure next month. I know people who are at high risk for exposure have been tested multiple times, but I've been working from home. I'm just curious about others' experience with being tested.

And by the way, yes, the test itself sucks.

 

The question referred to the "vulnerable," not the big picture. The vulnerable are protected by staying the fuck home. Whomever they wish to invite into their homes is up to them. They can completely ignore the "openings" if it suits them.

 

Sick burn. Notice.

 

By "suits them" you mean, "don't have an hourly wage, manual labor job," amirite?

 

COVID Tracking Project data:
In the week ending June 16, Trumpist states accounted for 62% of the new positive test results specific to the week. Quite the flip from a few weeks back.
The % of tests coming back positive:
Democratic states: 3.48% in the week ending June 9; 2.89% for June 16.
Trumpist states: 5.74% to 7.00%.

Among the more notable changes: Oklahoma from 2.28% (among the national leaders) to 4.62% (slightly higher than the national average.) Just in time for the klan rally this weekend.

Dems' numbers will start going up again when cases from the rallies start rolling in.

 

Trump decreed he was taking his klan rally to Tulsa without telling the mayor of Tulsa, who is a member of the klan. The mayor, the health commissioner and others don't want the damned thing, but they don't have the stones to tell him off. They will sacrifice the health of their citizens in order to give the world's most insecure, pathetic human the big racist welcome he craves.
Tulsa Mayor G.T. Bynum says he won't attempt to block Trump rally

“Was the nation’s first large campaign rally after the arrival of COVID-19 my idea? No.” Bynum wrote. “I didn’t even know the invitation had been extended until BOK Center management contacted the City regarding Police support for the event.

“Do I share anxiety about having a full house at the BOK Center? Of course. As someone who is cautious by nature, I don’t like to be the first to try anything. I would have loved some other city to have proven the safety of such an event already.”

 

OK, so that’s GT Barnum and not PT Barnum … glad I got that sorted.

Meanwhile, Pence has an op-ed in the Wall Street rag. And he never considered math before he wrote it.



And in China …
