Bus driver who got pulverized for trying to keep his passengers safe is brain dead.

Fucking hell man... WTF is wrong with people? They never stop to think about others and how their actions are what's to blame for the chaos. If we'd all be good citizens who understood basic science and general ideas of logical thought maybe we wouldn't be here today. I feel so bad for that Bus Driver, he was just doing what's right and payed the price for it.

Have you been inside a Home Depot lately? I went today and it was a nightmare, I was in and out in 5 minutes. I'm traumatized for life! I'm suing Home Depot for PTSD.

Seriously wtf is wrong with these people?

My dad is still sick at almost week 3 but he just got his test results from Monday and they were negative for Covid. Not sure how much I buy that since his symptoms haven't changed that much since the start of being diagnosed positive, but I guess it's good news if true and this is all lingering secondary stuff that should clear up.

The one thing that’s been nice about no one wearing masks in stores is that when I need to find some assistance I can find workers right away.

Bought a 50$ designer mask. It's a lot more comfortable than my other one, but a lot less effective as a mask. Don't care, I look cool.

America has had more cases in the past 3 days than Canada has had the entire duration

You just need 2 days and that has been true since last week and only going to get worse. The US situation is terrible and I'm pretty worried that nothing will change until Jan.

Think about the local economies in the Caribbean that rely on US tourist dollars. Even if they do everything right and protect their population from the virus, they're fucked until the US gets its act together.

4th of July is mostly an outdoors holiday so hopefully that aspect won't be too bad?

I think all the rescheduled weddings will be the larger problem. People that cancelled in the spring are carrying on like everything is fine. I've already had three invitations to events scheduled in August/September. No mentions of social distancing, masks, or other limits.

I'll be declining and sending cards.

Autopsies on people who died of the coronavirus are helping doctors understand how the disease affects the body -- and one of the most remarkable findings concerned blood clotting, a pathologist says.

Some Covid-19 patients are known to develop blood clotting issues, but the degree and the extent to which that occurs was described as "dramatic" by Rapkiewicz.

"What we saw at autopsy was sort of an extension of that," she said. "The clotting was not only in the large vessels but also in the smaller vessels.

Ohio Republicans getting a bit stir crazy ...

Quote

"Are you tired of living in a dictatorship yet?" Republican state Rep. Nino Vitale wrote in a post on Facebook Tuesday after Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, announced the mask mandate. "This is what happens when people go crazy and get tested. STOP GETTING TESTED! It is giving the government an excuse to claim something is happening that is not happening at the magnitude they say it is happening.

Quote

Ohio State Rep. Candice Keller didn't wear a mask when she shopped Thursday at a Middletown Walgreens.

She did wear a blue hat featuring an American flag and the name "Reagan."

Keller posted on Facebook a photo of herself on Facebook outside the door of the Walgreens. A sign on the door said, "Mandatory face protection is required to enter."

"Spent $53. No mask. Only one in the store maskless," Keller wrote in the post. "Be brave. Try it. You'll like it."

The federal government is softly pushing back against an effort from U.S. Congress members to reopen the border with Canada amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, saying any decision will be made “by Canadians, for Canadians.”

A bipartisan group of 29 federal lawmakers led by New York representatives Brian Higgins and Elise Stefanik sent a letter to Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf late last week, urging both countries to “immediately craft a comprehensive framework for phased reopening of the border.”

The lawsuit cites information from medical professionals in February, including the U.S. Surgeon General, who said masks are not effective in preventing the general public from catching the coronavirus, and Dr. Mark Ryan, World Health Organization executive director, who was quoted as saying there is no specific evidence suggesting the wearing masks has any "potential benefit."

That is one area where the public health organizations really did not cover themselves with glory.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #9698 on:** July 10, 2020, 02:02:41 PM »

Live not by lies even if you're trying to prevent a mask shortage for medical workers.

LOL at masks creating a false sense of security in the public logic.
