She doesn't even know how many players run onto the field FfS!!

There was always a snowflakes chance in hell of NSW letting the border be moved south to The Tweed River, so that people could go to work! ha

Like, your way, why didn't they just move the Vic border to the north town limit of Albury? . Temporarily, of course! lol

It also looks like they've got Border Walls going up at the bat of an eyelid! ... "to keep the rabbits out".

Interview with Doctor Fauci.
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/07/trump-fauci-coronavirus-pandemic-oppo/614224/

It would be interesting to know the details of the parts of his responses that were not published. It is fairly truncated, some important comments obviously missing.

Is there any complete live recording of this interview transcript? . Context is everything.

You call that a wall , a cane toad could jump over that .
As much as I would like to make it joke of it , in a week our numbers have gone from around 20, 40,90,120,240,280 to today 317 .
They aren't big numbers compared to some other places but it shows you how quickly they can grow , considering for a long time we had low single digit numbers or 0 numbers .
They have police and the army at checkpoints at all major roads leaving the metro area 24/7.
There is a lot of talk about stage 4 Lockdown and making masks mandatory in public .
I don't blame other states for locking us out , I hope this doesn't spread Nationwide .
Stay safe razor .

New study published two days ago in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) showed a significant reduction in COVID transmission among healthcare workers after universal masking protocols were implemented.

One day later the governor of Georgia signed an executive order forbidding any mandatory masking order anywhere in the state.

" Governor Laura Kelly today issued Executive Order #20-52 requiring that most Kansans must wear a mask while in public spaces, and in places where individuals are unable to maintain social distancing of six feet.
Executive Order #20-52 takes effect beginning 12:01 a.m. Friday, July 3, and will remain in place until rescinded or until the current statewide State of Disaster Emergency expires – whichever is earlier. "

We have a Democrat for a governor and a Republican legislature. The legislature has been fighting her every inch of the way. Police Depts. refuse to enforce anything.

Walmart stepped up and now requires masks in its stores. Wally is big enough to make it happen.

Oh good. Hospitals are now being instructed to submit all covid related data to a political appointee of the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department rather than directly to the CDC. HHS will then (after reviewing the data) share relevant info with the CDC.

https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/covid-19-faqs-hospitals-hospital-laboratory-acute-care-facility-data-reporting.pdf

Looking like so far it’s as bad as I feared. Data transition has happened, but the administration isn’t sharing data yet. What this means is that states no longer have access to their own data.

" HHS is committed to being transparent with the American public about the information it is collecting on the coronavirus. Therefore, HHS has directed CDC to re-establish the coronavirus dashboards it withdrew from the public on Wednesday. Going forward, HHS and CDC will deliver more powerful insights on the coronavirus, powered by HHS Protect," said Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs Michael Caputo. "

But the following statement is confusing regarding this July 14 statement.

" As of now, the previously removed dashboard modules were back online. The CDC has also added language to their page announcing that they will not be updating this data past July 14. "

I don’t think it’s a blink quite yet. Sure CDC web modules go back up, but the data is still being fed first to HHS and then HHS will feed it to CDC. As of today, no publicly facing data has been fed to CDC since the changeover.

So all we have as of now is historical CDC data.

This model has consistently been optimistic. At the time of this posting it is predicting 200,000 deaths for 2020:

https://covid19.healthdata.org/united-states-of-america

This model has been roughly as pessimistic as the other has been optimistic. It is predicting 800,000 deaths:

https://www.thedailybeast.com/america-is-on-track-for-a-million-coronavirus-cases-a-day-and-at-least-800000-deaths-by-the-end-of-2020

My girlfriend was a germaphobe long before all this started, and I have shopped with her and seen how she uses hand sanitizer before and after shopping, while I only use it after shopping. (and of course all the mask stuff).

I am being careful, she is 2 times more careful.

She is not feeling good now.

If she ends up with it I am probably next.

I am going to have some extra alcohol tonight as a precaution.

Can you guys build a wall along the entire Canadian border as well please?

I think it’s ironic that last year America was worried about people crossing into the USA, so much so, that they want to build a wall. Now under the current climate most of the world doesn’t want Americans into their countries. Americans are being stopped and turned around at the Canadian and Mexican border and air travel to Europe is non existent.

I don’t care if you want to be the home of the free, but keep your freedom away from us, we’re quite happy with sheltering in place, masks are our new requirement and we’re ok with that.

America wants to change and lead the world with their manifest destiny, but this is a time to sit down and put on a mask And follow everyone else’s lead. A cavalier attitude Won’t win you anything but 1st place, and this is one fight you don’t want to be first place in.
