In countries without criminals or morons or criminal morons as president the infection rate has gone down quite nicely.
People just seem to be forgetting that there is no immunity because so far <10% were infected, meaning if social distancing and wearing masks is ignored, it'll come right back.

Quote
Public health officials are now advising Canadians to wear "nonmedical" masks or face coverings when they venture outside their homes as Covid-19 restrictions begin to ease.

“If you can’t predict whether you can maintain that two-meter distance, then it's recommended that you wear that nonmedical mask or facial covering," Dr. Theresa Tam said during her daily briefing on the pandemic.

Tam said the Public Health Agency will make the new recommendations public Wednesday. She called the masks an "added layer of protection" that could help prevent asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic Covid-19 patients from unknowingly infecting others while out in public.

The recommendation is not a mandate because some areas of Canada have not seen community transmission. Provinces and territories need the ability to conduct their own risk assessments based on the epidemiology present in their jurisdictions, Tam said.

Asked why masks weren't promoted sooner even when they were required in other nations, Tam said public health measures like stay-at-home orders, quarantining, testing and contact tracing "effectively stopped and decelerated that epidemic wave."

Now that people will begin to move around in public, she said, "this is an added layer on top of that."

Apply for jobs you aren’t qualified for.

it worked for me when i quit my job and my unemployment insurance kicked in. about the same rules as catscatscats described, i had to apply for two positions/week (they never said i had to apply for that many, but whenever i applied for less they started to bitch)

i only had 10 insured days left (out of 300) when they "exposed" me! i didn't even get called to a single interview, which would admittedly be rather depressing if i ever wanted a sysdev job again.

Sweden has now overtaken the UK, Italy and Belgium to have the highest coronavirus per capita death rate in the world, throwing its decision to avoid a strict lockdown into further doubt.

According to figures collated by the Our World in Data website, Sweden had 6.08 deaths per million inhabitants per day on a rolling seven-day average between May 13 and May 20.

This is the highest in the world, above the UK, Belgium and the US, which have 5.57, 4.28 and 4.11 respectively.

However, Sweden has only had the highest death rate over the past week, with Belgium, Spain, Italy, the UK and France, still ahead over the entire course of the pandemic.

State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, the spokesman for Sweden's outlier coronavirus strategy, dismissed the figures on Tuesday night, arguing that it was misleading to focus on the death toll over a single week.

"This is something we should look at when it's all over," he told the Svenska Dagbladet newspaper. "It is of course terrible that we have such a higher death toll at our elderly care homes, and there are lessons to be learned for those who work in these institutions."

The scientists working for the Dutch government finally admitted their numbers were wrong and deaths were way higher so they're going to 'adjust'.  :doge

In about 10 days restaurants, bars, cinemas etc. are planned to open.

Later that day

"I'd like to thank Ramon Lag-uer-ta of Pepsi for these tremendous banners, what a beautiful name you have Lag-uer-ta and what a beautiful company.
I like the real Coca Cola company better, I always tell them, bring me the real coke not the diet one but they only have diet coke at the White House, it's true.
Maybe I should try the Pepsi again some time"

More than 1,200 pastors have vowed to hold in-person services on May 31, the Pentecost, defying a state moratorium on religious gatherings that Gov. Gavin Newsom imposed to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus.

In a letter to Newsom, Robert H. Tyler, an attorney representing a Lodi church that has challenged the governor’s order in court, said more than 1,200 pastors have signed a “Declaration of Essentiality,” asserting their churches are as essential as any grocery or hardware store and should be allowed to reopen.

“We believe you are attempting to act in the best interests of the state,” Tyler wrote to Newsom, “but the restrictions have gone too far and for too long.”

By Wednesday, many counties in California had received approval to reopen establishments — retail business, office buildings, restaurants, shopping centers — as permitted in the second phase of Newsom’s plan to restart the state economy. Churches are not allowed to reopen until the plan’s third phase.

The pastors who signed onto the letter intend to open their churches to parishioners on May 31, with or without the governor’s permission, the letter says. They will advise churchgoers to follow social distancing guidelines.

A day earlier, the U.S. Justice Department warned Newsom that the restrictions he imposed and his plans to scale them back could infringe on religious groups’ constitutional freedoms.

My mother and my aunt hope that the Covid diagnosis is a false negative because it was quick test. She made two previous tests (were she got negative results) because she started having difficulty to breathe (it ended being the tumor in her throat).

Yeah, Brazil especially has been taking a beating recently, they had almost as many new cases yesterday as the US [21.4k to 22.1k]. And they've only done 735k total tests, with a whopping 293k coming up positive.

A New Jersey gym that reopened this week in defiance of the state’s ongoing stay-at-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic has been shut down by the state health department, officials said Thursday.

The Atilis Gym in Bellmawr opened its doors on Monday, insisting that the state shutdown of non-essential businesses is unconstitutional. The gym remained open for three days, attracting crowds of supporters and American-flag-toting protesters in its parking lot, before the New Jersey Department of Health issued a closure order on Wednesday night, a Camden County spokesperson confirmed to The Daily Beast.

The closure order was posted outside the gym by county officials on Thursday morning, one day after the facility’s sewer system backed up. The plumbing problems forced the gym to close on Wednesday and members to evacuate, according to Fox29.

This Is What a Coronavirus Lockdown Means in Each State

“Alright guys, so we arrived at the gym this morning to Governor Murphy’s dirty tricks, playing with his power in the health department,” one of the owners, Ian Smith, said in a Thursday morning Instagram story. “For right now, the gym will be closed. We have a full cleaning crew inside, once again, going above and beyond.”

Smith, who has received national attention for violating Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order, claimed in his Instagram story that the gym plans to file a lawsuit against the governor “first thing this morning.” “Dirty politicians playing dirty tricks,” he added.

Something I've been thinking which that data reinforces: as things open back up, we'll probably see way more people at bars and restaurants than we "should," but it will still be way down from same time last year.

Yeah. Sweden, for example, may not have locked down but most Sweden chose to self-isolate anyway. Even if the government allows dining-in, I'd imagine most people would still choose not to risk it, at least in areas that have been hard hit.
