I'm sure social distancing rules were followed to the letter on all those ad shoots.

To be fair I guess there's a lot of stock footage in those.

The French Health and Prime Minister are having a press conference.
They admit there's still "tension" on PPE supplies.
45% of care homes have at least one case. 
Strict conditions to reopen visits there but it will happen.
They're fairly confident that the epidemic is under control in overseas France.
Numbers are "good" for today but weekend dip and all that, you know the drill.

The more I look at places with low spread and deaths the more I realize I have no idea what's really working for prevention.

those with god on their side and those without

[brawndolicious]

I think lack of testing means we have no idea what the spread is.

Save us moblin 

[ToxicAdam]

seems like the key is properly identifying hot spots and then effectively shutting those places down before it gets too bad. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that New York, Ontario CA and Detroit are all reporting lots of cases. It’s a very common route for trade/travel.

Also, I saw a funny comment on Reddit, “Our economy is on the brink of collapse because people are only buying what they need.”

Company wants employees to apply for a two week furlough, which feels like it came out of nowhere. I have to do the math but they’re saying we should receive 80% of our salary and it actually kinda scares me.

Today's worldmeter stats seem really good overall - deaths in most places seem like they are in decline (Canada excluded, but were are on a delay to most places).

Two Australian doctors are weighing in about the spread of the coronavirus “down under” — whether it can be spread through farts, that is.

During Friday’s episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Coronacast,” podcast, producer and host Dr. Norman Swan made a cautionary suggestion when it comes to particles of feces set adrift within a fart and the spread of COVID-19.

“No bare-bottom farting,” Swan advised about posterior pandemic panic, in a measured, mildly amused tone.

“Luckily, we wear a mask, which covers our farts all the time,” Swan said, referring to the protective aspects of pants, shorts, dresses, underwear and other garments. “I think that what we should do in terms of social distancing and being safe is that … you don’t fart close to other people, and that you don’t fart with your bottom bare.”

Meanwhile, Australian emergency physician Dr. Andy Tagg also floated the question via Twitter, asking, “So, can the bottom-based emissions of someone with coronavirus be silent and deadly?”

Tagg pondered whether flatulence itself is an “aerosol-generating procedure.” (His determination: yes.) A recent study, in fact, suggested a post-flush toilet plume could even be cause for concern when it comes to spreading the coronavirus via “aerosolized feces.” Plus, scientists have confirmed that fecal-oral transmission itself is an issue due to the presence of the virus in poop that is why health officials in Oregon and New York have even cautioned against oral contact with feces during sex.

Unfortunately, as Tagg observed, there is “not a great deal of research” available to come to a firm conclusion about the perils of passing COVID-19 while passing gas.

That’s all backed up by Dr. Aaron E. Glatt, a Mount Sinai South Nassau epidemiologist and professor of medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

“Studies have clearly shown that a significant percentage of COVID-19 patients do have GI [gastrointestinal] symptoms (alone, or in combination with respiratory or other general symptoms) at the time of illness presentation,” Glatt told The Post via email.

“However, there are no published data on whether flatulence alone presents any risk of transmission, although in a clothed person, it would be unlikely to be a significant route of transmission,” he said.

Where does that leave us? Tagg, co-founder of the medical education site Don’t Forget the Bubbles, suggests not throwing caution to the, um, wind. He instead proposes keeping your pants on and considering them part of your personal protection equipment, just in case.

“Perhaps SARS-CoV-2 can be spread [through] the power of parping — we need more evidence,” he tweeted, adding, “So remember to wear appropriate PPE at all times and stay safe!”

it just looks cool 

[Uncle]

wait till America's heartland, Texas, and Florida swing wide open in two weeks

I agree with a video posted earlier in here though

they can shout that they've opened up all the want, but there isn't an on/off button for the economy

people have to go out and buy things, and if the majority don't, if they're just as worried and stay home, it's only going to be worse for the businesses who are now paying employees but seeing a fraction of business

58% of Americans are more worried about the virus than the economy

and that poll question is also not quite the same thing as asking, when restrictions are lifted are you immediately going to resume your life as before and put yourself and your loved ones at risk of death...some portion of people will give lip service to being more worried about the economy but when it comes down to it, given the choice they're not gonna risk it

widespread reporting of state reopening protests paint one picture but I'd question what percentage of people actually feel this way, we already know the whole reopen campaign is astroturfed and not a real US grassroots effort

when areas reopen you will see the curve un-flatten by some amount, but plenty of people will continue to operate under lockdown conditions

How nice of them. I Wonder which flag they'll display next. Hopefully no one reminds them of all the Nazi gold in their vaults.

[Uncle]

You guys are going to ride wave 1 right through the summer and wave 2 will start up right when elections start.

question is, is this good or bad for the election?

Trump is championing reopening, and if the highest number of deaths suddenly come as a result of reopening right around election time, does that push people who weren't gonna vote into getting him out of office

however what does a second wave do to the actual election/voting

old people vote Trump but maybe they'll all be too busy dying in hospitals

smart people don't vote Trump but smart people also social distance

just wonder how it will shake out

Good luck to big public gyms like Planet Fitness, I ain't ever going back

Opening up gyms? Those should be the last places to open.

I've been able to replace 90% of my workouts with bands.
