Has any localized COVID outbreak or superspreader event -- anywhere in the world -- been conclusively traced back to any outdoor activity?
Of course they do. How else do beachcombers get overtime pay? Someone has to clean up the beach!
I think a soccer match in Italy was one of their initial super-spreading events. But cold weather + people jam packed together screaming for hours does seem like a bad combo for spreading, not a typical outdoor event.
I think that early outbreak in Westchester County NY (somewhere like that) employed some restrictions on personal movement.
Use the bathroom floor. Janitors need OT, too.Aren't you supposed to just go in the ocean?
Yes, it was the first "lockdown" zone, and the concept was new and unnerving, but they didn't "lock it down" along the lines of what China does.
Gotta be honest...if I'm going ten over the limit and in your way, I'm not merging into slower traffic so you can drive EVEN FASTER.
If you are passing a car or cars, you're fine. When there's an opening and you are no longer passing cars, you should be moving over. You can move back into the left when you're ready to pass the next car. It's pretty simple.
Im good with his belief here as long as he's consistent with it, and stays the heck away from me and mine. Does he have a durable DNR order? Will he take mama off the ventilator as soon as doctors suggest there's no real hope, or will he keep her on it another week praying for God's miracle?
read what I wrote again. I'll move over...but I'm not SLOWING DOWN to move over. IE: If the folks in the right lane are going 60 and I'm going 70...YOU'RE the one being rude if your angry with me for not slowing down to 60 (in a 55 zone!) just so you can speed back up to 80 and drive up the next car's backside
If there is one thing the San Antonio mayor is NOT doing, it is painting a rosy picture. He and Judge Wolff have been by far the leaders in criticizing Abbott and has constant meddling in the affairs of the city. They hold a daily COVID brief and brief the numbers, the trends, the key indicators, and constantly PLEAD with the idiots to start doing the right thing. Until Abbott relents power to those that need to be in control of their own municipalities, Texas will continue to struggle.
yeah, I read what you wrote. If you're going slower than the car behind you and you don't move over, you shouldn't be allowed to drive.
Short update because this is in the FFA thread:
Wait, “AZ is doing good, curve is flattening”? Is that true?
I haven’t been watching AZ, would you agree with the governor that the curve is flattening?
Absolutely not. He used the Rt declining as his main statistic for his reasoning. He also pointed out that cases spiked 14 days after the end of the stay at home order and we’re 10 days out from the closing of bars, so they are expecting more decreases. I didn’t see the whole thing but that seemed to be his whole argument. The only flattening that’s happening is the number of daily test results reported.
The main actions were allowing cities and counties to put in mask mandates (many did) and shutting down bars and gyms and a few other things. That’s the extent of action so far.
There are 55 labels currently on their list if anyone wants to check.
Hoping for the best there for all. My Dad is in Glendale, I lived in Scottsdale for 20 years, I’m a Sun Devil. Stay safe.
There is indeed a thread on this somewhere (though I think it was inside a pet peeves thread or something similar) and I posted that I knew some FBG or other would make such an argument - as if the worker would get laid off if the carts were all properly put away. Oof.
Same reason why we don't pump our own gas in Oregon. Think of all the jobs that would be lost!
Same reason we have one neighborhood member who never cleans up their dog's crap, just leave in your yard, your sidewalk, the street. They don't want to put the city's pooper scoopers out of work.
Curious if you (or other's with a more critical eye than I will use) have read the article.
There's also an insurance factor to it. We are the same here in NJ and gas stations pay less insurance but not having the public pump their own gas, that's why we are typically lower price per gallon than our surrounding neighbors
Actually the insurance cost difference is negligible. Our gas used to be cheaper than neighboring states because we had one of the lowest gas taxes in the country. That’s changed in the last few years as they jacked up the gas tax in NJ quite a bit and now our gas is pretty much the same price as neighboring states.
I am moving my daughter to ASU. Move in date is 8/14 and they are still a go.
I know dozen people who have had this and not a single one had any long term effects. I call bs
Discussion
This study found that in patients who had recovered from COVID-19, 87.4% reported persistence of at least 1 symptom, particularly fatigue and dyspnea. Limitations of the study include the lack of information on symptom history before acute COVID-19 illness and the lack of details on symptom severity. Furthermore, this is a single-center study with a relatively small number of patients and without a control group of patients discharged for other reasons. Patients with community-acquired pneumonia can also have persistent symptoms, suggesting that these findings may not be exclusive to COVID-19.6
Who does these studies?
Saw on the WP's live COVID updates site that Paul Alexander, a top official in the Health and Human Services Department accused the CDC of undermining the president by putting out a report about the potential risks of COVID to pregnant women.
Guess what? They haven't shown one shred of ability to fix this. And it IS, unquestionably and demonstrably, getting worse.
Sending threatening emails to the CDC for putting out real information about COVID, just for partisan reasons, at this stage in the game, is the exact opposite of leadership.
