Tho not the ideal situation if you aren't wearing a mask outdoors, but still,
"fresh air dilutes the virus to a degree that transmission is much less"
and there's some slight evidence that direct exposure to sunlight kills the virus.

All of this is quite different than encouraging people to crowd into indoor tight situations -
misplacing capitalist concerns over public health and safety. So, yes, Abbott should take responsibility.

At 62 he has a pretty good chance of dying when it’s his turn.

Ilhan Omar‘s father was 67.

By far, most of the protest spread is going to be because of the tactics of the police: Kettleing and mass arrests and tear gas

They literally have been jamming people together and making them cough and gag. Right there that’s ****ing murder.

A new thing that’s going on here is the medical community has been trying to make all the switches they can to zoom but now insurance companies won’t pay for zoom visits to save money from people afraid to go in.

I’m trying to follow-up on my hernia and it’s a real cluster****.

My job needs a doctor to clear me when I said I had that diagnosis. Trying to get in or make contact with anyone is the runaround. And I’m afraid to work in a crowded poorly ventilated kitchen, where the masks have become optional, anyway. I can’t get past my fear of it. It’s like you just have to accept it to survive. Feels barbaric. Distressing. Everyone is in the same boat basically but I’m so anxious.

I spent the morning calling doctors but I’m giving up on the afternoon. I’m just going to read and listen to music.

The population of the US is 330 million.

flights are being cancelled, schools have been told to shut back down, and entire communities near the market, or with known COVID-19 cases, have been closed off and their residents barred from leaving. So far 29 neighborhoods have been completely fenced off.

Coronavirus cases are spiking across the country and experts say Florida has the makings of the next epicenter
Updated 1:26 PM EDT June 18, 2020
Ten states saw a record number of new Covid-19 cases this week, and one of them could be the next epicenter of the pandemic.
Florida reported 3,207 additional coronavirus cases on Thursday -- the largest single day count in the state since the pandemic, according to Florida Department of Health. Florida's total reported cases climbed to nearly 86,000

Help!

Very strange that Texas, which is worse, is not considered the possible new epicenter.
