2019 Novel Coronavirus

We may be able to enjoy Halloween for once this year

I dont know if restaurants have been as big a spreader as people originally thought to be honest?

But as long as we wear our mask for 20 seconds walking in to our table and take it off eat, then put it back on when you go to the latrine its okay? (I hope we can all agree that logic is pretty dumb, thats what our state is doing, dont know about others)

*We are still only eating outside personally* -

What we saw here is that there were some cases traced back to restaurants, but mostly restaurants that "weren't following the rules". Contact tracing from our current outbreak shows that the top three contributors were (in order) funerals, family gatherings, and church gatherings.

I'm wondering if the limited restaurant spread maybe shows that COVID is not quite as "airborne" as some fear, and that the 6 feet social distancing is actually pretty effective?  We probably won't know until this is all over, but would be good to know what current contact tracing results from around the whole country are pointing at.

he underestimated how much the internet has desensitized humans.

Doesn't even deserve a capital h.

Well this could be the end. Not just Snake Jesus, but seven of them.

A Karen in one state can likely be different than a Karen in another state (when it comes to the rona)

I might pick up a few of these as gifts.

A dude can also be a Karen...

Pretty fair assesment

First link links to other two. A rather damning assesment of approach. The open letter to Fauci is harsh, deservedly so in my opinion.

FYI two of the three sites have a conservative lean.

Just good old American capitalism at work. See a business opportunity, take advantage of it.

Oh, maybe government owned ?

On  a side note, University of MD has 133 positive tests out of 19,000, a 0.7 % rate. But only 15 % percent of classes will be in person. And I saw last week that one of thethings that caused spread was colleges sending students home.

Thats about the same for my kids college, around 0.8% positive - It is really dumb IMO to send a bunch of young kids home from college (at that rate of infection) if they get infected because it does spread the spread - They havent forced anyone to go home but some have chose to go home to quarantine, probably at the request of their moms to be honest  - about half of there classes are "remote"

what they are seeing at my sons college is that (most) of the younger people are getting over it much sooner than the standard 14 days as compared to the folks in there 50's
