Quarter of a million dead. :(

Looks like the US will be back over 2k today (not including the extra 1700 in NY nursing homes being reported now). https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/another-1-700-virus-deaths-reported-in-n-y-nursing-homes-1.4925363

Here in LA they are drastically reducing tuition (at the mid-tier schools) for the fall semester for in-state residents that have been out for over 2 years.

I paid $2.63 tonight, which was 73 cents less than I paid 2 months ago when I filled up last. Also gas is back up 4 cents from last week.

To be real, you're better off throwing money into a pile and setting it afire then spending it on a any governmental task force. At least the money burning has a fixed loss for the same effect.

Everyone I've talked to is just happy the lock down is partially lifted soon.
The media is blasting that our government offered 'PERSPECTIVE" and I'm getting all sorts of messages from people like: "Hey man let's go out the 1st of June!" .

I don't think it will differ much as we were already too late to protect the care homes anyway. At least something positive news will be good for the economy and our mental well being.
In the end though they pretty much admitted that yup, people will continue to die from this until we have a vaccine which could be never and even though you can go and get wasted it's probably better if you still worked at home.

When the health minister said "It's not just about the duration of life but also about its quality" with regards to care home visits I knew they were making the blood sacrifice.

Was at the barber today.
Everyone had a mask and you have to get your hair washed first. No customers waiting inside the barber shop, they have to wait outside.
The usual poncho you get is a huge plastic wrap now, they also used big plastic wraps in between the different seats.

Was kinda weird, but it was wonderful to finally have a decent haircut again.

The country and the state announced new measures. Gyms, restaurants etc. will open up in my state with harsher rules.
Will only go at night or early morning for the gym, but it's kinda nice to have at least a partial feeling of a normal day again.

We'll see how that works out.

I think people in Ohio have finally given up, the economic anxiety is starting to break us. The tone of people I talk to has dramatically shifted in the past two weeks.   We're in "live or let die" mode now.

Also, the state House just passed this:

Quote
Republican lawmakers have introduced an amendment that would limit any stay-at-home order issued by the Ohio Department of Health to 14 days.

If the department wanted to extend the order beyond those two weeks, it would need the approval of an existing bipartisan committee called the Joint Committee on Agency Rule Review made up of five representatives and five senators.

“The joint committee shall determine the period of the extension, if any,” according to the amendment.

A House committee is scheduled to vote on the amendment Wednesday morning -- potentially setting up a vote by the full House on Wednesday afternoon.

Gov. Mike DeWine and Ohio Director of Health Dr. Amy Acton issued the first “stay-at-home” health order March 23 and have extended a revised version until the end of May in an effort to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Numbers continue to trend in the right way in France and the bulk of the backlog deaths in care homes was finally ingested (still 40% of known fatalities  :-\ ).

Authorities have started using a map differentiating between green, orange and red zones / départments which should shortly be made definitive (with green and red zones only), some of the lockdown measures should be relaxed earlier in green zones (though it is still a bit hazy... parks opening is reliant on this I believe).
Status is a combination of fast the infection is running and the strain on healthcare services, the latter being seemingly more of an issue now than the former.

Maps can be seen here :

https://solidarites-sante.gouv.fr/soins-et-maladies/maladies/maladies-infectieuses/coronavirus/etat-des-lieux-et-actualites/article/indicateurs-de-l-activite-epidemique

Basically : Paris region, the East and Mayotte are the parts hardest hit still.

"Lucero said receiving PPE or COVID-19 tests, and not body bags, back in March was critical while they were working to curb the spread of the virus. At the time, the Seattle Indian Health Board did not have the capacity to test, and although the Federal Emergency Management Agency did offer to provide testing for the center, the logistics involved didn't make the process feasible, Lucero said."

"Meanwhile, Lucero said, the county did help deliver about 200 COVID-19 test kits through FEMA."

"The Seattle Indian Health Board has previously received some federal funding, which has helped to set up an additional testing site and keep the center operating, Echo-Hawk said"

"While the Seattle Indian Health Board has the PPE and supplies it needs as of now"

So one of the companies I worked with closed, will reopen Monday and I'll resume going there. Apparently there will be "COVID supervisors" among managers to ensure distancing & safety rules. Haven't had much details beyond surgical masks being supplied by the company and the fact it will be skeleton crews. Before closing for lockdown they also had hand sanitizers, wipes and limiting number of people per office (if 1 was not possible) put in place.

Reading stuff elsewhere it does seem it's the guidance from authorities for company offices resuming work, maybe with a couple more wrinkles (having ground marker at Xerox machines etc, mandatory masks and gloves when not in office, having a circulation path in hallways...).

Not sure this theorical plan will survive first contact with reality but :yeshrug it's a more severe and restrictive regime than what was on place on the company I worked at during lockdown.

The public transport operators in Paris apparently wrote a joint letter to the Prime Minister to say they didn't have the financial and human means to implement the government demand to somehow allow for users to respect the 1m rule. It's of course wholly unrealistic if the number of travellers shoots up to normal average or slightly below, even if traffic is back to 100%. Of course the idea is to keep WFH in place as long as possible wherever possible...
