GRAND OPENING - GRAND CLOSING (Florida)

[cakebaker]

No, they could not. Also hearing about a payroll tax cut. Again, not targeted at all to go where the money needs to go.

I keep hearing about the tax credit for traveling too. Yet another break for the wealthy. If you can spend thousands of dollars to go on vacation, you don't need government assistance.

And....encouraging people to do something they should not be doing at this time. Unnecessary travel. I've seen several pieces today from experts that the death rate is certainly going to continue to go up. Will it reach our record of 2,000 deaths a day in April? I don't know. But I do know that Americans are dying unnecessarily.

It's also a way to not so sneakily dismantle Social Security.

FL Gov Ron DeSantis says he won’t close the state’s gyms because “If you are good shape you have a very, very low likelihood of ending up in significant condition as a result of the coronavirus.”

Smh. What's next? Is he going to endorsed leech clinics?

It kind of depends on what we do from here. But keep in mind those high totals were driven by a grave mistake in New York. Dumping covid patients in nursing homes and forcing them to take them in. What could possibly go wrong? We have been near 1,000 for three days. But it's possible we'll go up. But to me it appears that many of the hardest stricken areas are closing even if their states are not and some of the states are in fact either rolling back their opening plans or closing back up. I hope that's enough that we don't have that again.

Nursing Homes Are Only as Safe as Their Communities

Good grief. Capital gains?? Could they be more out of touch?

I’d sell my winners and take a profit if that happens.

Well they're certainly a lot less safe when we dump covid patients into them on purpose.

OK.

Sign me up. I’ll go to an additional national park every year.

Well, plenty of mistakes have been made during this crisis. We're continuing to make more and more every day. I saw an ICU doctor on the news talking about her experience working in NYC during our peak, and then about talking to her friends who are working as docs in the south. She said that when we were going through the worst of it in March and April, that she felt like "we were all in this together". She talked about leaving work and heading home each night and seeing that the streets of the city were absolutely empty, desolate even. She said that they felt supported by the city and community because we all stayed home. Her friends feel as though they are in this alone, because to a great degree, they are. They leave work and see people in restaurants, bars in some states and many not wearing masks.

So, as long as that kind of behavior continues in the south, who knows what their curve will look like. Probably similar to what the nation's curve looks like....a big peak, and then a slight trend down, with a high plateau. It's just so sad to me.

Ugh...its a fight between DeSantis and Kemp about who is botching this the worst

Perhaps Ron DopeSantis should read this article from April:

But it doesn't matter because it's less likely. It mostly happens to old people and they should be willing to sacrifice to paraphrase our idiot Lieutenant Governor.

You can't reason with heartless people.

I posted this over at News and Rumors, but maybe this is a more relevant thread:

Yesterday I went to one of our local Publix in central Florida. What I saw was amazing/shocking. First, the mask compliance noticeably dropped. I can't quantify it, but suffice to say I absolutely witnessed a significant drop from weeks/months ago. That being said, our county is not under a mandatory state. That being said part two, yes our cases are on a significant uptick.

It's when I saw a couple of elderly folks sorting through pre-bagged cherries to "cherry pick" the ones they wanted and discarded the others into existing already bagged cherries is when I got angry. So they touched countless cherries/bags and someone like me, had I not witnessed it, could have easily picked up that bag and........who knows. No, they weren't wearing masks.

Publix will require masks for all shoppers starting July 21st.

Count me out, I’ve definitely put on the Covid 19. I could use a gym right about now, but I wouldn’t qualify as fit!
Our mandatory mask policy ( city only) went into effect yesterday. I had to go pick up an order at a store and was thrilled to see all the signs in the windows requiring masks to enter. This was at our Torrid store. They were also limiting entry , 10 customers at a time. I didn’t see anyone without a mask. If only we’d do this state and nation wide.
