God bless people like you for getting shots like this so i can know what its like without the terrifying fear of doing it myself.
That said, I'd still rather do this then climb a 20ft ladder.

Couldn't care what doctors "say," anyone who studies statistics knows that random "hot spots" are inevitable in a large population.
You need good statistics to determine if you're observing a trend or a statistical fluke, and most doctors are ignorant of statistics (epidemiologists are an exception since that's a requirement, good medical researchers should be, but often aren't, trained in statistics).
Right now there is no evidence one way or another.
Though the rise in gun sales should lead to a rise in suicide, irregardless of the shutdown, b/c there's a strong correlation between gun ownership and suicide, probably because when you're depressed, you don't get second thoughts (they're not going to pump your stomach) when you use a gun to do the deed.

They're going to find an effective vaccine by sometime this fall, but even when they do, it's a long way from a trial success to producing 300M doses (maybe 600 if you need two shots), vials, syringes, etc., then distribute the doses and get people inoculated.
In other words, don't expect the new normal to end before next summer.

I’ll throw out one campfire story at ya.
My very first night dive and still pretty newish overall was off the Bahamas at the wreck of this intact old plane. You always dive in 2’s.
Anyway as I’m approach this thing, I shine the light under one of the wings and see a very mellow reef shark sitting under there. A big boy. I tried to signal over to my buddy, but he didn’t notice and started swimming from the other way - on top of the wing.
When he got to the end, he looked underneath and you could see him panic and start kicking away really quick. Big boy wakes up.
We stayed down there for another 10min maybe, and every once in a while you would turn and see it’s eyes. Thing was basically circling the area. It was prob one of the biggest I’ve seen.
The swim back to the boat I was shitting myself. Refused to look back behind me.

The virus hit first in the big cities with international airports and hubs for obvious reasons.
Then it spread into the suburbs,
Now it's moving into the exburbs and rural towns and cities.
It'll be interesting to see those attitudes in July, when the big Democratic cities have lower rates than the Red areas.
The delusional attitudes of Republicans almost guarantees that those areas will become the epicenter of the next wave, and it is in those areas that the hospitals will be quickly overwhelmed, because tracing won't exist (because it infringes on privacy), that people will refuse masks (because it's an attack on my liberty), and they will congregate in church, at weddings, honky tonks, bars and restaurants. They're being told by Fox News that it's time to open up the country, and they'll open themselves to infection.
You only need 10-20% of people in those areas to be stupid on a regular basis, b/c we know "superspreaders" can turn a social event into a regional hot spot.

What is funny of course, is Trump was almost never been sighted in a church until he was elected and need to suck up to the Evangelicals , and of course, his personal behavior violates practically everyone of the Ten Commandments.

Well....today was the day it happened for the 1st time. The wife passed her first kidney stone! And now has been pissing pebbles all day.
She has been in some discomfort but all the lemon water and cranberry juice seem to be doing the trick!

I've never seen this and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I don't need Sponge Bob to tell me that mayonnaise is not an instrument.

The Russians (or Chinese or Iranians) wouldn't use COVID-19 to stir up discontent, would they?

I see a perp walk in their future:
Moderna execs dumped nearly $30 million of stock after coronavirus vaccine news - CNN
It's legal if it's automatic, but the timing will be looked into, for example, if it was triggered by the stock price hitting a certain level, and insiders knew their announcement would jack up the price and trigger sales, then it turns out they exaggerated their success . . .

Word from within Wolf's camp is that all of PA will be going Yellow on 6/4. This is good. We want this.

Well, then it's a shame that months of inaction followed by reopening too soon will cause that damage. Death is less reparable than economic issues.

Alabama & Mississippi are honestly two states I feel bad for anybody that lives there unwillingly.
Like people joke about California, Texas, New Jersey, Florida etc. but I’d easily take all of them over that.

Yeah and most of their residents are stuck there due to a perpetual cycle of poverty that is difficult to break free from. Especially when lawmakers intentionally make it difficult to get a quality education because they know dumb voters are their ticket to staying in office.
