That's good to hear. Not sure about my whole state but the big 3, counties (Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach) certainly can't say the same. Broward added 300+ today and Palm Beach has really made a leap over the past couple weeks. They were always at way fewer deaths than Broward forever but now they have passed us.
 
Right now the COVID-19 death toll in Los Angeles County is 3,171. We're still trailing three counties of New York: Queens, Kings County and the Bronx. Arizona, Arkansas, California, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas all reported a record number of coronavirus hospitalizations today. South Carolina. Isn't that where Myrtle beach is?

I hear that heat and sunlight will kill the virus. No?

Anybody who was paying attention to the outbreak in Australia in January knew that wasn't true.

Typical flu and cold germs do better at transmitting in winter since people are more inside. Of course, this summer people are more inside than they usually would be too. But this is not a typical virus either.
 
I went to the beach yesterday. Was far away from most everybody but my crew. I know it's a bad idea and I only saw 2 mask wearers. It was damn fun though.

I was at our beach Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. We wore masks from our car to our spot on the beach. Fortunately, we have 4 public beaches in town; a couple of them can get pretty packed. But we go to the one that requires a town beach sticker to park, so it's never crowded.
 
This is now the greatest woman in my state:



Speaking of masks though, thinking of my DIsney trip I bought a 5 pack of those plack reusable masks you see politicians wearing. Right now I just use those regular medical masks but they break all the time.

And this is the county I lived in for 13 years...residents never afraid to bitch about stuff.

 
It's insane how stupidly defensive and ignorant these people are. They shouldn't even be given a forum to rant. If they don't all die from Covid, they'll be underwater soon anyway.
 
It really is. If I was still going into the office I would probably find the mask way more annoying but I'd still do it. As for my life right now, it's quite easy. I keep a couple masks in the car. I walk to the car from my place and drive w/o a mask but then whenever I get where I'm going I just pop it on. Not really hard.

I heard Dr. Drew say this and I asked my aunt who started her career as a nurse to confirm it...you wear a mask to benefit other people, not really yourself. So if that's the case we need everyone wearing them so everybody is benefiting everybody else.

And it makes sense too. When a surgeon is wearing a mask it's to make sure any spit particles don't get into the open parts of the patient.

It benefits others greatly. It benefits you only slightly.

I am guilty of not wearing one unless it is required. I find it tangles with my headphones and the cord on my sunglasses and is an inconvenience. I would wear one if legally required. I just try to stay the fuck away from people particularly the other assholes like me not wearing a mask.
 
People are so incredibly stupid. If everyone would just mask-the-fuck-up, be responsible, and think about the big picture, this would all settle down in 4 or 5 months. (At least enough that we shouldn't have to worry about shut-downs or massive death counts.) We would be able to relax enough that we can ride things out till a viable vaccine is available. That's probably still about a year away. We've already been through about 4 months of this, so we're 25% of the way there.

Looking at the European curve that was posted somewhere above, they have mostly reached that point in just about the same period of time. Meanwhile, our curve started to drop and now it's heading back up. We're still in the first wave of this. We've got to get out of that before we can think about dealing with a second wave.

I'm not hiding.

Oh and my new masks are arriving today. I thought it might be a nice gesture to give my roomies one each since it's a 5 pack. I don't need more than three.

Here is another story that is equally appropriate for the Dumb Dodo thread. Gohmert also announced that as soon as the last of his horses have escaped from his barn, he will close the barn door.
