We’re all going to be locked down again in the fall which likely means no sports until late 2021 or 2022. While I hate the politics of it, what N.Y. was doing worked. It’s only continuing to work because of work already put in, existing guidelines and nice summer weather.

This also means continuing financial ruin and likely months and months of protests and riots because people have nothing better to do they are getting paid govt money to do it.

I’m just trying to enjoy summer for now and be positive about today.

Hydrostatic cleaning. It is effective.

Here's the article

"We've installed Clean Air EXP," Zastrow says. "We have a local Arizona company. It was a technology developed by some members of our church. And we've installed these units. And it kills 99 percent of COVID within 10 minutes."

The system achieves this bit of magic with air "ionization,"

Edit: and here are the pastors

This is a pretty good take all around. And a solid ending

7 out of every one hundred tested in FL are positive for the Covid. The number was holding kind of steady at 5.3% for a while, but now is daily rising a little bit.
Of almost 1.67 million tested, a little over 109K positive for virus.

The state reported that 15.91% of all tests came back positive Wednesday, up from 10.82% on Tuesday.

history of number 9 pic is mixed. Couture, Brind'Amour,Neely,Leetch were taken there. also a bunch of busts/average NHLers...
- wingz4life

I dont think people realize how often players are bust. If you take the top 3 to 5 out of the first round, its like a 10% hit rate.

I wouldnt mind trading our first, but since GMs are dumb when it comes to overvaluing picks, has to be a legit player.

The number of new cases reported by day in Florida have more than quadrupled since the state began reopening on May 4. Nearly 5,500 new cases were recorded on Tuesday, a new high.


I'm sure even if the average case was in their thirties, they'll totally steer clear of any immune compromised/elderly individuals.

They aren't fine. They are suffering the consequences of not taking it seriously

- sbroads24

The only way to avoid elderly individuals in Florida is to leave Florida.

No no, you're way off. Its at the corner of Bailey Ave and Shirley Ave. If you get lost, just ask someone for directions.

"DO YOU WANT TO KILL YOUR GRANDMA?!"

EDIT: lay off the CNN people.

Too bad those pesky Bill of Rights allow people to Protest. You know, it actually is one of the Bill of Rights that you mentioned a while back that the government was violating with the lockdown (which actually didnt violate any bill of rights)

Even if we assume the system the church installed does what the pastors claim it does, it isn't solving the problem.

People aren't likely to get the virus from the church. They are at risk of getting it from all the other people crowded into the church with them.

The thing is this virus is going to work itself through the population whether anyone likes it or not just like h1n1 did and every other virus. That’s nature. Could’ve stopped it initially when it started but that didn’t happen and that option has passed. Sheltering everyone in their homes waiting for an FDA approved vaccination won’t prevent the inevitable. Be smart, wash your hands, wear a mask, hope for the best. That’s reality.

The people in the were positive cases/identified contacts, were they not, back when the amount of tests were severely limited? In essence, they came forward themselves. Now try identifying everyone traveling into the state, of which the number is multiples higher than those being tested. Good luck with that.

The people were my parents, and they had driven back to the Capital Region from Florida in late April.

My father felt fine, but my stepmother had a bit of a dry throat and cough.

They thought it was either allergies or a common cold, until the only 2 people they spent time with in Florida called to say they had tested positive.

Off my parents went to get tested, and they both came back positive.

When they got tested, they were told to remain in quarantine until the results came back, and the next day the Sheriff appeared with the paperwork that advised what they could and could not do.

When the results came back positive, they got the word to quarantine for an additional 14 days.

If your point is that anybody who is a carrier who has not been tested as positive cannot be tracked, I agree. If your point is anybody who has tested positive cannot be tracked, I disagree by the experience I have described here.

The bold is really the bottom line, with the hope that if you do get it, the symptoms are either zero or they are not too bad.

The word I hear a lot from medical professionals is 'co-exist'. That's where we're at with this virus

That's the bottom line reality.

Still doesn't mean I have any interest in going to eat inside a restaurant any time soon, or go to a movie, etc.

Lost some friends to this. Other friends have lost their sense of taste and smell for a couple days that was it and they have immunodeficiencies. Who knows? Just seems to pick some people out albeit at an extremely small level. The mortality rate isn’t high but I’m in no way saying it isn’t serious at the same time. Both my wife and I work in healthcare and have been around it intimately from the onset and somehow haven’t contracted it after hundreds of exposures. Kind of is what it is at this point just get on with it.
