The Coronavirus thread

5,500+ new positive tests today in florida. Think we're up over 109,000. The death rate and hospitalizations are not really jumping.

I have to wear a mask now at job no.2 when around people. Temp check at the door. Anything 100.2 and over gets you a 72 hour unpaid vacation. Think I'll get a hairdryer I can plug into the car and get myself a long weekend..haha

American ingenuity!
 
Our Local schools have given parents two options keep you r kid home and do online or send them like normal.

That's actually a good idea. I like it and I hope our school does it. That way, nobody can make the liability on the school if someone gets Covid because they chose to send the kid and for the kids and parents who want to rejoin normal life and attend school, they also have that option.
 
I'm in Myrtle Beach now and you wouldn't know there was such a thing as the virus. Restaurants, beaches, stores are all packed. Went to a Walmart and had a hard time finding a parking space.
Inside I was bumping into people every which way I turned. Places like this will be spreading the virus all over the country.

Yes yes!!!! Healthy people getting a cold. While enjoying the freedoms this ******* county affords then. Good for people living. Good for people not being afraid. Good for people saying **** it.


And when they get sick, and recover go the **** back out and party like it’s 1999

Then why didn't you avoid going into a crowded ******* Walmart?

God-damn-****-hell, nothing I hate worse than people going on and ******* on about how dangerous this is, or that is, and then DOING THE SAME DAMN THING.

Your message is, "You can't do it, but I can." Spoken like a true (D)im.

In a hearing last week in State Commonwealth Court regarding the Carlisle Fairgrounds auctions and car shows, Judge Anne Covey (whose campaign I worked on) grilled the state's attorneys about why protests including one led by the governor were okay but car shows were not. Carlisle won and I registered my truck for the Ford Nationals show field.

Carlisle car shows will go on, Pa. Health Department to withdraw COVID-19 lawsuit, event spokesman says
Spring Carlisle and the other massive car shows Carlisle Events stages at the Carlisle Fairgrounds will continue to be held under a deal struck between the firm and the state Department of Health, which accused the organizers of violating COVID-19 restrictions.
The deal came right before a second hearing on the Health Department’s lawsuit to shut down the show was to take place before a Commonwealth Court judge at noon Friday.

“At this point the state’s lawsuit has been withdrawn,” said Carlisle Events spokesman Mike Garland. “The shows will continue to operate.”

Garland said he couldn’t say much more than that pending the release of a joint statement by Carlisle Events and the Health Department later today.

He did say, however, that the agreement will cover the other shows the firm has scheduled for this year as well as Spring Carlisle, which ends Saturday. That show already had been delayed by two months due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Another car show is scheduled for next week.

“At this point all our events will go on as scheduled and as promoted,” Garland said.

A notice issued by attorneys for both sides right before noon stated only that “the parties have reached a settlement agreement in principle” that Friday’s hearing is no longer necessary.

The deal came a day after an inconclusive hearing in which Commonwealth Court Judge Anne E. Covey grilled a Health Department lawyer as to why, for example, the agency considered crowds at the car show to be a health hazard when Gov. Tom Wolf marched shoulder-to-shoulder with protesters in Harrisburg two weeks ago.

Walmart is really tough for virtue signaling.

Far better at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods where the vibe is woke.

THIS! If I have to see one more stupid Facebook post "I was in Walmart today and no one was following the arrows and I saw two people not wearing masks. PLEASE people I have an autoimmune disease I could die"

Guess what? Walmart will deliver anything you want or need right to your door. STAY THE **** AT HOME if being around other people terrifies you so much. But please just shut up about it. Your Facebook posts do not control the rest of the world, sorry. You only control yourself.
 
**** you, COVID....I just got an ESPN text that this years HOF enshrinement ceremony has been postponed. I had tickets! My god I was going to get to see Troy Polamalu...but NO. ******* Stupid bullshit virus ruined that. I had a feeling it would be postponed, but now that it’s official, I’m NOT happy.

Cowher too. And they cancelled the Steelers v. Cowfags game. Goodell is the worst commissioner ever. Of anything.

But hey- Brady and Gronk are allowed to work out and model the new Bucks uniforms. **** Goodell.
 
They aren't going to play this year. At least anywhere near on schedule.

That much was clear when Trump said it was the NFL's call and not Tony Fauci's.

Dictator Fauci has already said he doesn't see a NFL season this year.

The NFL isn't going to go against Tony Fauci and with Donald Trump's cowboy exhortations to play.

With the "Second Wave" of Covid-1984 coming in the fall to disrupt the Election process, there's no way the NFL plays before Thanksgiving, IMO.

And it's quite probable Thanksgiving itself will be banned before then as well for being racist.
 
If there is no NFL, there are no stupid protests. No Kapernick ****.

It would be interesting how the union would take nobody getting paid for a year. From an owners perspective it is probably better to just shut the whole thing down for the year, not pay anyone but a skeleton crew to keep the lights on and that's it.

I've always said the players have much more reason to play than the owners. It is their time line that is the shortest. I mean if the owners fall-in behind the liberal media on this how can the unions go against it? All the owners have to do is focus on the most totalitarian and liberal-leaning scientists the media keeps throwing out their to scare us.

I'm actually surprised the baseball owners folded so quickly as well.

I'm pulling for the no season. They need to come back down to planet earth
 
Well SteelerPride, it's official. Our school district is run by a bunch of *******.

Below please find a joint reopening statement from Hamilton County school districts, including Carmel Clay Schools.

We plan to send a detailed plan to families in early July and gather data from parents to finalize staffing and complete preparations for the start of school.

Please keep in mind that directives and guidance from state and local authorities can change quickly in this environment. We will continue to share information on any adjustments needed as we move forward.

As always, we thank you for your support and partnership as we work through this pandemic.

Hamilton County Schools Announce Return Plans
Hamilton County schools would like to thank our communities for their support as we continue to work through the challenges of COVID-19. We are pleased to announce we will be welcoming students back for a new school year beginning later this summer, and have come together to share important information regarding this return to school.

The safety of our students, staff and families is our top priority and our return to school decisions are based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), Fishers Health Department and the Hamilton County Health Department.



All Hamilton County schools are following our previously scheduled calendars and will start on our regularly scheduled start date.

We will also be:

Providing flexible options to meet individual student needs, including both online and face-to-face learning.
Implementing daily screening/self-screening procedures for COVID-19 symptoms.
Asking students and staff to wear masks, at times.
Maximizing facility space with respect to social distancing, including lunch tables spaced out to the greatest extent possible.
Closing water fountains and maintaining water bottle fill stations.
Requiring students and staff to stay home when ill and creating separate spaces in school health clinics to address COVID-19 symptoms.
Transporting students with precautionary safety measures in place.
Enhancing student hygiene practices and building cleaning procedures.
Restricting visitors.
Training staff and students on COVID-19 safety measures.
Each school district will be sharing additional, specific details with our families in the coming weeks.

As always, thank you for your patience and support as we work together to safely bring students back to school.

Carmel Clay Schools Hamilton Heights School Corporation
Hamilton Southeastern Schools Noblesville Schools
Options Charter Schools Sheridan Community Schools
St. Theodore Guerin High School Westfield Washington Schools

Full time masks is absolutely ridiculous.
 
Where do you see full time face masks? It says "Asking students and staff to wear masks, at times"
 
The Daily Mail has my county as an epidemic (highest infection rate). Its insane because I only know of 2-3 people that supposedly have been tested and have it. Both have had no symptoms whatsoever.

We already know the NFL and Goodell lack the testicular fortitude to draw a line in the sand and play.

The NFL will not buck the tide of liberal opinion.

This is nefarious. Way larger than a simple virus. It's an attack on the USA and our way of life and like all wars it starts with propaganda and psyops.

My grandparents are turning over in their graves as they say. They escaped from East Berlin in 1953 to give their descendents a better life away from that propaganda and tyranny. They had to take multiple trains to go to church to avoid being followed, their neighbor was killed for trying to sell his piano, my mother was pressured in school to join the Hitler youth. The last day that her teacher strong-armed her was the day they made their escape. They lived in fear in West Berlin waiting to be approved with their sponsor to immigrate to America. My grandfather was so proud that he got them out of Europe. The sad part is it crept over here. The CIA paying former Nazi's exorbitant sums to come here! The commies here already working their planks. Woe to America!
 
I was always skeptical of the virus based on the fact India has seemed to be so uneffected.

I may be wrong on that. Sounds like the virus is all over India now and the numbers they are reporting aren't even close to the problem. They have no hospital beds open anywhere. India's infected could be doubling every week.

I would shut down all travel to/from India right now. I have no faith they are even close to containing the virus there. South Asia is in trouble. The only redeeming quality is the number of old people there is relatively low (in comparisons to the general population) and it's not like they have large numbers in "assisted living areas". Most of their old live with their families.

I have a feeling between now and the end of the year, hot spots are going to pop up all over the world. Was Brazil, now India, might bounce back to South America, eventually could be places in Africa, bounce back to Europe, back to the U.S., a surge in China will happen again.... who knows.
 
Question. How many people that beat coivd-19 are back in the ICU? Trying to see what beating it and immunity offers.
