COVID-19 (Cont'd #8)
As we reopen the COVID-19 conversation, we'd like to remind everyone that our rules govern the discussion. According to Rule #1, all members are required to be nice. And political conversation is prohibited.
We recognize that COVID-19 elicits highly-emotional responses. We are all in this situation together, so let's ensure the discussion remains within our rules. Thank you. |

There were 90 new cases here in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania on Saturday. That’s the biggest spike since early April. Last Monday showed a drastic uptick at 45 on Monday and 60 on Friday. Reports are that they suspect that these infections may be associated with traveling to other high risk areas in the south like Florida, South Carolina, etc.
I’m not going to preach but my wife is upset and is suggesting we voluntarily lock down again. I’m actually fine with that. Seeing people being so laissez fairs without masks on and not keeping even arms length away was giving me the creeps.

Tim Walters, a co-founder of ReOpen Maryland, who organized rallies to pressure Gov. Hogan to lift restrictions, has tested positive for the virus. He said he has had a dry cough for months, but it recently worsened. Walters, 53, a diabetic who has had mini-strokes, went to the emergency room Monday and was diagnosed with the virus.
“It’s funny how capricious this thing is”, Walters said. The man who was the poster boy for public health irresponsibility, went months not wearing a mask at rallies and churches, and is refusing to cooperate with contact tracing appears to not understand the definition of “capricious”. |

Here in Georgia we are having a large surge in cases. I have a gig booked (full band) on July 4, and I’m thinking there is a good chance the Governor will pull the plug on this activity. For the record, the venue has a large stage and multiple fans behind the performers pointing at the audience. A reasonable person would throttle back on reopening here in Georgia. |

I scratch my head when I see those in public wearing masks around their chins exposing their noses and mouths. That might be the very definition of going through the motions of being cautious...

My wife and I went to dinner out last night.
We were two of a total of four other patrons who were wearing masks. The restaurant was very busy. They did have spaced seating and plastic dividers separating the diners. The employees and servers were all wearing them. Generally, I have seen an abandonment of mask-wearing in retail stores by the public. I expect Ohio will see a big jump in the numbers of infections shortly. I also expect the governor to implore people to wear them again soon.

Evaluating the Source of Your News
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta just published this article: Science by press release: When the story gets ahead of the science. It's short and well-written advice on how to evaluate some of the information that you read or hear, and why some prior 'breakthroughs' have fallen flat on their face.

FWIW I have no problem wearing a mask and quite frankly can't understand why people are so resistant. I'm more afraid of other people who are openly combative and defiant than I am of people whose facial expressions I can't read. By that logic I would be distrustful of people who wear too much makeup.

And proof positive that even a lick of common sense, is no longer required to survive in our society. But maybe mother nature will sort out for us, that which we seem unable to do for ourselves .. OK I done

I was surprised to see this article that investigated and concluded that outdoor protests weren’t the source of any significant coronavirus growth. The article focused on the state of Utah, but wasn't limited to that state. Remarkably, "Given that there have been 4,613 positive cases in Salt Lake County in June, according to the health department, and thousands of people who attended protests over the course of multiple weeks, [there were] only five cases tied to the protests..."

After reading it, it seems another case of click bait headline hype, not very well supported by the body of the article. At least they accurately noted that the protests were #1 outside (totally different than indoors) and #2 significant numbers were wearing masks.
