Had to go to Walmart tonight to return something I ordered through their website. I'd say it was about a 65 - 35 mask to non mask ratio...a lot of kids with no mask. People aren't listening.

So watcha watcha watcha want?

Up or down today? I'm guessing 700s. Hopefully not...but the trend sucks right now.

In case you weren't aware...

Meanwhile in Florida... Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters on Tuesday that the state will not reinstate restrictions or close businesses to mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus. Why it matters: More than 50% of coronavirus infections in the U.S. are from states like Florida, Texas, California and Arizona, Axios' Marisa Fernandez reports. NIAID director Anthony Fauci warned at a Senate committee hearing earlier on Tuesday that states "skipping over" checkpoints in federal reopening guidelines are contributing to hot spots in states including Florida, Texas and Arizona. Driving the news: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ® urged people to stay home last week to fight the "rampant" spread of COVID-19, as the state paused its reopening. Abbott said in a Friday interview that he regretted how quickly bars were allowed to reopen in the state. What he's saying: When asked by reporters on Tuesday if he would tell people to stay home as Abbott did, DeSantis explained that social distancing has been recommended throughout the state's reopening and that protecting the elderly and vulnerable are the state's priorities. "We're not going back, closing things. I don't think that that's really what's driving it, people going to a business is not what's driving it," DeSantis said. "I think when you see the younger folks, I think a lot of it is more just social interactions, so that's natural." "We're open, we know who we need to protect, most of the folks in those younger demographics, although we want them to be mindful of what's going on, are just simply much much less at risk than the folks who are in those older age groups." https://www.axios.com/florida-coronavirus-desantis-3fe9b6c4-532b-4b2f-bf20-391e586abd2d.html

What a fucking mess.

I think he'd rather drop out than lose.

He should probably consider it. I don't see him winning. I think Pence may have a better shot than Trump at this point but thinking a more moderate Republican with a level head and less of an ego (Nikki Hailey??) would be the move. But what do I know.

Smart move on their part.

If I had to guess, his handling of the pandemic will be exactly the reason he doesn't get reelected.

So far they're saying business as usual but I'm 75% fall semester will be virtual which I'm cool with at this point. Should know more this week or next.

About time.

Accurate

A bunch of kids from here went to Jersey and MD beaches for senior week and apparently schools from all over descended there. They all intermingled and hung out at the same places apparently. Not good. Not sure how parents were ok with their kids going.

The upward trend seems to be western PA. If we do go to quadruple digits I'm wondering if it'll be due to a surge in Allegheny County.

492 today. Lower is always good.

Congratulations!

That's a good analogy.

505 in PA today

If I'm not skiing this winter, I'm blaming fucking Pauly D and Snookie.

Yep. This is exactly what's happening in Florida, Texas etc....like the author said, all in the name of pounding $5 Coors Lights. SMH.

If you see tire tracks, size 215-55-17, just past turn 1.

Record 45k plus today in the US

I agree. Universal Studios has been open. Last place on earth I'd want to be is an amusement park in Florida right now.
