I'm guessing that in stores and with outdoor dining social distancing is somewhat feasible. Not to mention that you can wear a mask in a store. Bars are close quarters...you're not wearing a mask while drinking a beer or breathing in everyone's cigarette smoke. Plus if you're gettin jiggy with it on the dancefloor with a lady you're not 6 feet apart from that person. At least Will Smith didn't think so. Edit...do they even allow smoking in bars anymore?

Fauci says closing bars will do the trick... "In his comments Friday, Fauci addressed the surges around the country, urging people to wear masks and pushing for the closure of bars to limit the spread of the virus. "Stay away from crowds. Close the bars," Fauci said. "You appeal to the people in the local areas, close those bars. They are seriously the — one of the major reasons why we're seeing [the surges]." "And I think, if we do that for a couple of weeks in a row," he continued, "I think we're going to see a turnaround, because we know that that works."

Any hope I had of us mitigating this thing into non existence is gone. Perhaps that was nieve but I had hope. If the virus is a war, like the politicans said it was, then we lost and essentially retreated. The win will come with a vaccine. I can't look at numbers anymore as its making me a bit insane. Won't post em anymore either. All I can do is everything the scientists say we should be doing...social distance, wear a mask, wash hands all the fucking time and load up on sanitizer, continue make sure my kids are educated about all of this and doing the same. So far they've been really great about it. They need to continue to be cognizant.

Holy shit

Your number typically matches the official tally. We suck.

I gotta say less for my own sanity. I'll say 2500... hopefully less.

1357 for AZ.

Florida is over 12k again

That's what they tweeted at noon but who knows what's accurate anymore.

Then 328 is bullshit. Damn.

328 PA today. I hope that's accurate and not just numbers not being reported.

Thanks@Benm Remember when PA was doing great? Good times.

No numbers in PA today?

What a disgrace. Holy shit. Clearly what they're doing isn't working down there.

Gotcha..in their defense last time I was there, we just moved to green and the governor hadn't yet made the mask requirement a reality yet.

Are they required to wear a mask if we're in green? I honestly don't know.

I noticed that too last time I was there. Funny because when we were in lockdown they were masked up, met me outside and placed the food in my trunk. I didn't have to do anything or go near anyone. Last time I went it was exactly as Dan said...no masks on anyone. Didn't necessarily bother me though and yes their food is awesome.

Sounds about right. SMH

Therein lies the problem. One summer of laying low is really all that was needed yet the beaches, Vegas, theme parks etc. are packed and here we are.

Disney hardcores are no joke. Nothing can keep them away from the parks. They are to those parks, what we are to skiing...maybe even worse. Was talking to my mother last night (who lives there) and she's more nervous about it than ever. Its apparently all that's being talked about 24 / 7. Some are legit scared and even though businesses are open they're starting to see less and less people as each day goes by...at least in her county. Her hours at work were just cut.

Doesn't necessarily mean that someone won't be purchasing them though. Perhaps Elk will become Epic?

Let me preface this with skiing is miniscule in the grand scheme of everything. That said I'm wondering what these newly increased numbers across the US will mean for ski season as there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. Will 6 of us be making the mad dash for first chair or will it be less? Will we need to be 6 feet apart in line? Will Blue be passholders only (or open at all)? Will we be traveling? Will states like CO or VT require mandatory quarantines rendering a trip to those places pointless? Lots of question marks.

It's official now.

How many tests? Any word on that?
