CAPE

It's windy- again. I won't complain about full sun and 52 though, knowing what lies just ahead.. eta- partly sunny is more accurate

The clean air and deep blue skies...

I gave y'all the "hint" yesterday. He has his shtick, so either engage or don't.

A lot of the stay at home orders expire May 15, I believe. If the latest projections are correct, it would make sense to begin to relax things (outside of known hot spots) at that point. The biggest issue will be getting people back to work in cases where they are required to be in close proximity, and/or depend on public transportation. If the current lack of available and efficient testing/appropriate PPE is somehow resolved, then it should be possible to execute a 'reopening' in stages. Remains to be seen ofc.

This becomes a bigger "issue" as the weather warms. The way things are looking, it shouldn't be a problem in many places over the next month or so. Small gatherings outside around the pool will go on regardless.

People are outdoors and if they are staying in groups of a few and moving along it would seem to be low risk. Problem is where it goes from there. People tend to get 'too comfortable' at some point. Adequate enforcement is key.

Wind picking up with the back edge of showers moving through. Rain didn't about to much here- less than a tenth. Maybe I can get some mowing done this afternoon.

Nice sized wild turkey roaming around out back this morning. Is there a meat shortage?

Expect to see more of this in places that 'rush' to get back to normal. The availability of fast testing is still somehow elusive, and it's the SoS at the federal level. Pence says the testing capacity is there to reopen. Okay.

Put on your PPE and make a beer run!

Soylent green?

We can just grind up the dead.

Nah just an objective assessment. Don't be mad bro. Nice to see you decided to come back and contribute after you stomped off a few days back.

I have moved on to a Juicy/hazy IPA.

At least we have the NFL draft in a week, even if training camp and the actual season is in serious doubt.

For those who have not figured this out yet, Phin is a classic contrarian troll. He is also a pompous, condescending ass. Yet he is easily triggered, and will take his ball and go home after quickly tiring of playing nice in the sandbox with the "shitheads", only to return again. An interesting pathological study.

That's called staging.

It's Friday, so I'm going WWS I think.

The only way! A piled high pulled pork sandwich...yum.

It's Friday. I will put in for 2 hours of 'CV' pay. Therefore my work (at home) day ends at 2, and coincidentally, HH will begin at that time.

Gradually reopening in phases makes perfect sense as the number of cases/deaths decline, but only with widely available, effective testing. Those who want to "save the economy" and just let nature take its course will find out that reopening without effective testing/contact tracing, and PPE requirements, will "wreck" the economy more efficiently than the temporary lock downs. It will be the Smithfield pork plant x 100000.

I read this and legit started thinking about SPV destruction.

I posted a (much higher quality) version of this graph a page or 2 back.
