NJ -- the second hardest-hit state in the union -- has today lifted its stay-at-home order (not that I was able to stay at home myself anyway) after the governor was seen at protests that did not include any type of social distancing whatsoever (like most every protest). Infection stats have been on a decline here, and are relatively* low at this point (*tho people are still dying!), but I guess we'll see in a week or so whether we were ready or not (we're a shore area, beach/boardwalk, with lots of people coming in from neighboring states, all Summer long). I hope we are ready, but somehow I doubt it.

"Stage 2" openings here next Monday -- non-essential businesses & outdoor dining (with reduced occupancy + social distancing, etc) and limited DMV included. June 22 salons/barbers can open up, surely also with safety rules in place. I'm okay with it -- as long as people/businesses use Common Sense. Problem is, "common sense" is an oxymoron: it should be renamed "Uncommon Sense" or "Common Nonsense" wink

But I will admit -- SO FAR -- if the next week or two doesn't spike (here), we'll be in a better spot than I would've predicted in March/April....

It's cool. As long as you're protesting, the virus knows this and you won't get infected #sarcasm

The spikes we are currently seeing are from Memorial Day weekend, when every idiot went to jam-packed pool parties and barbecues. My nephew, who lives in Texas, made fun of us for the precautions we were taking. Then his father told him that two people he knew when he lived in NY had died, and one was on a ventilator. Now Texas is seeing a huge spike.

I understand the frustration and the desire to return to life as we knew it, but sometimes you have to readjust. Nobody made you any promises and nobody said that life was fair. If they did, they were just trying to sell you something. Stop being a selfish asshole, put on your mask, and move on. My daughter is a nurse. She wears a mask and/or face shield at least 50 hours a week. You can wear one for 45 minutes. Get over yourself.

Texans under the age of 30 are testing positive for the new coronavirus at a higher rate than previously seen since the pandemic began, contributing to a recent surge in the number of cases in the state, Gov. Greg Abbott said during a press conference Tuesday.

Data from several counties and health experts confirms the trend in younger people testing positive across Texas.

Even after a mild case of Covid, you may develop permanent lung damage. It also seems that the coronavirus permanently reprograms the immune system.

The week ending June 13, a total of 93,895 Texans filed initial applications for unemployment relief, a 4.7% increase over the previous week. This is the first time in eight weeks that the number of Texans filing for unemployment increased.

The College scene is getting hit way harder. Clemson football team has over 20 players confirmed with the virus, University of Texas has a dozen confirmed players. That is just football not the other athletic departments.

Sound like a second wave to me.

Wonder if any of the infected were protesters.

We are not out of the first wave yet. Remember many states reopened cause the economy was getting bad and losing money.

One of our high schools held a banquet for the swim team at which virus-related protocols were not followed. Now, one of the student attendees has tested positive.

Covid growth is out of control here in AZ. Our town hosts "The World's Oldest Rodeo," which draws people from all over the world, and also stages a famous "Frontier Days" parade that has 30,000 -40,000 people lining our downtown streets--no chance whatsoever of social distancing.

Same story here in Texas TB. The Governor has re-closed the bars and reduced restaurant occupancy to 50%.

Our city council during an emergency meeting just voted 5-2 to require individuals to wear face coverings to help slow the spread of COVID-19 through Aug. 4.

We just had our return to work date pushed back (yet again - NOT complaining by the way). First it was supposed to be the Monday after Easter, then May 4th, then June 1st and now it's August 31. Luckily, I've been able to work from home and our company hasn't missed a beat so I'm in no rush to go back to the office.

County residents in their 20s have outpaced all other age groups in confirmed COVID-19 patients over the course of the week.

Residents in their 40s held the position for much of the pandemic’s time in Denton County, only to be outpaced by those between 20 and 39 years old over the past couple weeks.

Right at 30% of the 87 new patients announced by county health officials Friday were in their 20s.

Many researches say there's very little chance of contamination in the open air, inside and with many people is another story.

Yes. Texas numbers climbing

No Worries..... you will go through the same experience the East coast had and then it will subside.

We had this years ago and it took its course and ebbed and flowed,,, the only difference is we are documenting it and last time we did not.

Biden was in charge of the Swine Flu.

Our governor ordered bars and gyms closed again. I'm pissed because our gym was kept spotlessly clean, with every other machine closed off, and sparse attendance. Every user meticulously wiped off machines before and after use. Very little risk in this rural area.

While the NHL isn’t identifying who has tested positive for the coronavirus or which team(s) they play on, it appears that the Blues have been hit by the virus. Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports (subscription required) that multiple players have tested positive and their identities have not been disclosed.

problem is we really don't know about the virus. china destroyed the notes. cases are also up due to more testing. the protests did not help either. no masks and no social distancing.
