OT: Covid-19 (Part 22) Open the door...

[Adam Michaels]

So it looks like two of Vancouver, Edmonton, and Toronto will end up being NHL hub cities now.

Well now ain't this something. You need to get down there with your new camera with the long zoom to capture this peate. The whale was still there 2-3 hours ago.

It's an 8 PM curfew in Portland. No curfew for me since I live in Beaverton.

Really?

- 37 new deaths
- 408 new cases
- 1 new hospitalization
- 4 new in ICU


** Apparently, 202 new deaths have been reported, but only 37 of them are from the last 24 hours of data recorded. The other 165 were not reported due to data transmission issues. Don't know how far back those extra 165 go, though.**

But the daily cases drops again.

** Important to note that it may be 179 deaths, but they're not all from the last 24 hours. They had a data transmission issue and many deaths have been added. No word yet on how far back those ''lost deaths'' go back (days? weeks? months?)**

But if you look, the number of cases is still around where it's been the last week or so. So it's impossible that there are 210 new cases and 179 new deaths in 24 hours.

48 people attested. I had drinks via Google Duo last night with a Peruvian guy from work and we became quite blotto so I never went on a grocery run. Maybe it was closed in Beaverton. I did take out Carlito around midnight and it was fairly quiet outside.

Sweden had zero deaths for the first time yesterday.

Sweden is the place I was most curious to see how it goes because they were one country going for the herd immunity approach.

Too far. Besides. I've seen whales before, well maybe not in Montreal.

I've seen a lot of whales in Montreal, trust me

How about NYC, The White Whale!

That's too bad. Apparently this is the first time they've ever seen a whale in that area so it would've been something neat to have captured. The year 2020 just keeps getting crazier by the day it seems.

My experiment of enforcing a mandatory mask policy in my business has officially been terminated. Losing too many customers so have to abandon it. Last straw today was when a customer walked in without a mask , when informed about the mask policy looked confused and replied " I no sick".
I give up. Faceshields+masks for staff, customers are on their own.

Despite all the information out there, a large number of people are absolutely clueless.

Along with that it's maddening to see customers leave our store only to walk across the street to a store that doesn't require masks and make their purchase there. To make matters worse customers were even refusing to wear them when offered to them. We were literally the only store in our area with that mask policy. It's not going to work without government intervention and sadly we have no other choice if we want to remain open.

Crazy ... after all this time, and all the information out there, some people remain this ignorant.

The truth is most people are dumbf*** potatoes. I knew these half measures would never work here, been saying it all along. No clue where we got this idea that people could be trusted to make the right decisions. Especially if it means a minor inconvenience. How hard is it to wear a mask you f***ing potato?

Please apologize to potatoes.

Technically, it's the first time that active population goes into negative....

200 deaths + 270 healed > 400 cases

I know that there is more people healed than official numbers
