Watch Florida cases start to boom.. Floridians didn’t waste any time getting back to the sun and surf when beaches and parks were reopened in Jacksonville — the same day the state clocked a record number of coronavirus cases.

Looks like we'll have to wait another year which is obviously not surprising with what's going on.. What was supposed to be a banner year for marijuana legalization is becoming a bust. Advocates are pushing ballot referendums in nearly a dozen states, from Idaho to New Jersey. Governors and state lawmakers who failed to pass legalization last year — most notably in New York — vowed that 2020 would be different. But social distancing has put ballot drives on pause and state lawmakers are overwhelmed with addressing the crisis at hand. Even New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who declared that marijuana legalization would be a “top priority” earlier this year, abandoned the initiative when his state emerged as the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S.

Sunlight destroys virus quickly, new govt. tests find From Yahoo News: Yahoo News obtained a report showing preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long in high temperatures and high humidity, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true. This news offers hope that summertime may offer conditions less hospitable for the virus, though experts caution it will by no means eliminate, or even necessarily decrease, new cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. The results, however, do add an important piece of knowledge that the White House’s science advisers have been seeking as they scramble to respond to the spreading pandemic. The study found that the risk of “transmission from surfaces outdoors is lower during daylight” and under higher temperature and humidity conditions. “Sunlight destroys the virus quickly,” reads the briefing. While that may provide some good news about the outlook for outdoor activities, the Department of Homeland Security briefing on the results cautions that enclosed areas with low humidity, such as airplane cabins, “may require additional care to minimize risk of transmission.” In a statement to Yahoo News, the DHS declined to answer questions about the findings and strongly cautioned against drawing any conclusions based on unpublished data.

This was the fox news report a couple of days ago.. EXCLUSIVE: There is increasing confidence that the COVID-19 outbreak likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory, though not as a bioweapon but as part of China's attempt to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China's government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News. This may be the "costliest government cover-up of all time," one of the sources said. The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus – a naturally occurring strain that was being studied there – was bat-to-human and that "patient zero" worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan. The “increasing confidence” comes from classified and open-source documents and evidence, the sources said. Fox News has requested to see the evidence directly. Sources emphasized -- as is often the case with intelligence -- that it’s not definitive and should not be characterized as such. Some inside the administration and the intelligence and epidemiological communities are more skeptical, and the investigation is continuing.

Well remember this guy you posted? Lol And the job ad out of Wuhan in November..

According to the governor infection rate is down below 1..

What started as the worst-case scenario for U.S. unemployment is quickly becoming reality. Some economists now see the jobless rate surging to 20% as soon as this month -- and there’s no guarantee it would stop there. About 5.5 million people are estimated to have filed for unemployment last week, in data due out Thursday. That would push the four-week total above 22 million, roughly one-in-eight of the workforce -- essentially wiping out all the job gains since the last recession. And jobless claims are expected to stay in the millions for several more weeks, as the impact of the coronavirus cascades through the economy. It all adds up to a worse recession than initially thought, and probably a more difficult recovery once the pandemic subsides. Many people have been struggling for weeks to file for unemployment benefits via overwhelmed and outdated websites. And while the government has rushed to help by authorizing trillions in stimulus, delays in getting the money to households and businesses -- as well as a possible shortage of program funds -- could push the jobless rate higher or keep it elevated for longer.

One last comment.. People are put on a ventilator for a reason, they are in such respiratory distress that they can't breathe on their own..So that means 100% of people would parish if sent home, so 87% actually looks pretty good and according to Cuomo it's about 80% that doesn't make it off...(state wide)

So what are the options? Let people suffocate to death right in front of you? I don't know what you can do in that scenario.. Maybe this drug everyone is touting? We have no therapeutic vaccines to my knowledge... At least on a ventilator more times than not you are in an induced coma, which at the very least prevents suffering... Unfortunately most people on a ventilator are going to pass anyway, maybe drug them up and make them as comfortable as possible in their last days especially if ventilators are making the situation worse..

Almost 1100 test to get those 50 positives lol Still 50 pending.. Social distancing is nothing new for most of Oswego county, comes with the territory lol

50 cases so far out of 120k spread throughout the county, couldn't ask for better results imo.. People have been taking this serious from day one.. Still no confirmed cases where I live in Albion twp..

Well if there is one positive i'm saving a shit load of money lol Not much to spend it on..

Well I don't like to get sick lol Not even the common cold..If you get symptoms it's gonna suck and for weeks lol Not a fun feeling to have your air way feel restricted..But to each their own..

We should just start injecting them with the covid-19 virus, they wanna get sick that badly, let them lol If they survive it they can go back to work.. Many of those people are old geezers anyway lol

I guess so.. LANSING, Mich. - A conservative group upset with the Michigan governor's restrictive shelter-in-place order are protesting Governor Gretchen Whitmer's Stay Home order in Lansing on Wednesday. The Michigan Conservative Coalition is organized Operation Gridlock in Lansing today. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people drove into Lansing and have surrounded the Michigan Capitol Building to create a traffic jam - a symbolic gesture of disagreement with Gretchen Whitmer's Stay Safe, Stay Home directive.

What are they protesting? Lol Restrictions put in place? Buddy of mine sent me a protest March for unemployment in Florida lol

Wouldn't surprise me to go OL first 2 rounds as they need a Center and they should get the"cream of the crop" early in the 2nd...

Yeah it seems most Giants fans want all world LB Simmons out of Clemson, young "should" be gone at#2..I agree about the OL in the first round, I think it will be the kid out of Iowa..He had one of the best combines ever for an offensive lineman..

8 more days, it should help to occupy the mind for a few days..

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has ordered all residents that they must now wear masks or face coverings in public if they cannot stay 6ft apart as part of his 'blueprint' in reopening the economy which is based on how essential a shuttered business is and how successfully it can keep employees part. Cuomo signed the order regarding masks and face coverings on Wednesday and said people would receive civil violations if they do not comply. It will apply in any public space where social distancing is 'impossible', including in grocery stores, on public transport and on busy streets. Your right to go out for a walk in the park? Fine. Don't infect me. You don't have a right to infect me. If you're going to be in a situation in public where you may come into contact with other people and a situation, that is not socially distanced, you must have a mask or a cloth covering nose and mouth. That is by executive order,' he said. He later clarified that a person should go out with their mask and be prepared to pull it up over their nose and mouth if they come within 6ft of someone, but that they can leave it down, around their chin, if they do not. He is not yet imposing fines but says he has not ruled it out. People will be given a three day compliance period from now in order to get one, he added. Cuomo's 'blueprint' will involve reopening businesses based on how essential they are and how they can ensure that they will maintain social distancing among employees. He says that the crisis will not be '100 percent' over until a vaccine has been created which will take 12-18 months but that in the meantime, testing and tracing and then a treatment will allow people to get back to some sense of normalcy sooner. Deaths increased by 752 on Tuesday which brings the state's total to 11,586. That number however does not include the some 3,000 that were added to New York City's death toll because officials are now counting people who died without ever testing positive for COVID-19 but who medics fear had the virus.

Probably his press conference..

Business insider Old enough to drive a car? Then you would be old enough to receive $2,000 a month under a plan introduced this week by two Democratic lawmakers in the House of Representatives. Under the Emergency Money for the People Act, US citizens who are 16 or older — and make less than $130,000 a year — would receive cash payments from the federal government for at least six months and until unemployment falls to pre-pandemic levels

I just got my batch in today...Took about 2 weeks from China..These are the KN95 mask that are regulated by the Chinese government.. According to the CDC they have the same kind of performance as the N95..They are now "FDA allowed" in this country..They have plenty on AliExpress if you don't mind waiting a couple weeks or ordering from China..lol

The one positive is not many people like going out in the winter... Hopefully we see 300" and keeps everyone indoors
