Brian Kemp issued an executive order Wednesday night, which outright banned cities and counties in the state from issuing mask orders to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The move, despite neighboring states like Alabama requiring masks in public, voided mask mandates in 15 local jurisdictions in the Peach State where they had been implemented. repugs are so dumb. 15 hours ago, SPIDER-MAN said: He isn't fired. Technically (and thankfully) Trump can't fire him. Fauci can keep doing what he's doing, just the White House will now concoct schemes to make him look like a dope. Saw Pennsylvania is cutting back again. I never go out anyway, so this doesn't hurt me much. Luzerne County has had very small amounts of positive tests since we opened back up. https://www.wnep.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/governor-tom-wolf-coronavirus-targeted-mitigation/523-db005e1c-1253-4dc7-af30-312c933002ba Spoiler we live in the same county, loretta!
July 16, 20206 yr Republican govs to fed govt: "stop telling us what to do! Let us handle this in a way that makes sense for our situation!" Republican gov to localities: "do as we say or we'll force you to!"

July 16, 20206 yr amazing...and then you have folks in pa all pissed off because they can't go to the bars.

Occasionally I'll pull up a seat and have a drink if I'm waiting for a table on a date night but that's about it. Getting old with kids, saving me from the Rona.
July 16, 20206 yr Since March I've been to the grocery store. Other than going to the park once, that's been it. This is the first week I've started to feel a little stir crazy, but that probably has a lot to do with not drinking. 🍻

I'm at the point now where going to the bar is more of an annoyance than anything. I'd rather just sit out on the deck with friends (or in the basement in the winter), have a few drinks and an edible, and not deal with other dewshy a-holes.

July 16, 20206 yr Not good. We've officially entered the period where Trump is hiding life and death information from the public out of fear it will hurt his re-election. Welcome to the Banana Republic.
July 16, 20206 yr New Cases of COVID-19 Are Mostly in Republican-Led States For the most part, when Donald Trump ordered the states to reopen their economies, Republican governors said "How fast?" and Democratic governors said "No thank you." That difference is now becoming clear in the data. Among the states reporting the most new cases, eight of the top 10 are led by Republicans: In the list above, only California and North Carolina have Democratic governors. Worse yet for the GOP, three of the states in the top five, Florida, Arizona, and Georgia, are probably going to be major battlegrounds. It is very likely that more cases is going to mean more deaths in a few weeks. The Biden campaign ads pretty much write themselves (Hint: Trump ordered your spineless governor to reopen your state, which he did. Now people are dying here needlessly on account of Trump). It is important to realize what the problem here is for the President. Once that is clear, the solution is straightforward. The problem is that the media are reporting lots of new cases of COVID-19 everywhere. This makes Trump look bad. The obvious solution, at least to him, is to have them stop reporting this. To this end, the administration has ordered hospitals, effective immediately, to stop reporting data to the CDC and to report it to the Dept. of HHS instead. This provides a way to minimize the number of cases and deaths reported, simply by changing the numbers. It also sidelines the CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci even more. Problem solved. Maybe. If HHS orders the numbers to be "improved," somebody at HHS has to actually sit at a computer and make changes. Leaks could happen, as they did in Florida when data scientist Rebekah Jones was ordered to falsify information on the dashboard she built. Of course, if leaks happen, the top priority of the administration will be to hire some plumbers to fix the leak. That worked out pretty well for Richard Nixon, so why not try again? (V)

July 16, 20206 yr 3 hours ago, paco said: This is another reason why we needed more testing from the jump. We have no idea if what we are seeing now indicates a new spike or just the result of more available testing. Going by deaths, it looks like we are trending up a tad but thankfully no where near where we were at in April\May..... yet it would be interesting to see a similar chart showing daily new cases...just to see the lag between the increase in cases & the increase in fatalities.

July 16, 20206 yr Florida's 5-day rolling average for deaths was in the 30's at the beginning of July. Now it's in the 90's.
July 16, 20206 yr In fairness to Trump, I don't think he really intended people to drink bleach. He was thinking more like this...
July 16, 20206 yr On 7/15/2020 at 8:45 AM, The_Omega said: How many children in the us have died from the coronavirus? 20x more have died from the flu. Incorrect. A total of 185 influenza-associated pediatric deaths occurring during the 2019-2020 season have been reported to CDC. LINK The flu season is over. I count 32 deaths <15 years old. LINK The number jumps to 189 <25 years old. Since February. Not even an entire year. COVID-19 is still active so these numbers continue to grow.
