I went shopping yesterday and everyone had face shields or masks except for 3 loud road crew workers in the orange vests who were maskless....most people in Lane County seem to be rather safe than sorry when it comes to masking....I'm not going to stop wearing one indoors in public until there are zero new cases and children are out of danger.....Taiwan just had a disaster from one asshole businessman who brought it into the country and spread it to four counties from 2 restaurants parties...a karaloke...two company meetings and visiting several bars....now they're locked down after zero cases and 300 people per day are getting infected in 4 counties...this is from one guy who probably flew in from India with there version and went partying.....they have been without any spread for over a year until this just occured...they just opened up travel and bingo......idiots who think it's all rosy and normal again when it's actually not....and won't be until everyone gets smart about it....it could be gone by fall if we would just use proper safety measures until we see how the kids withstand it in the school, sports , public gatherings and workplace systems.
 
Ya Taiwan had over 300 cases yesterday and shutting down. Oregon alone is still getting between 500-600 a day still, Slowly opening up while some people are taking there mask off.

Now that I am out and about, looking up favorite San Francisco restaurants. Sad, so many listed as temporarily or permanently closed.

The sad part is San Francisco is noted for their excellent restaurants.

Why did Sam's Hof Brau ever go out of business?
 
I don't know about Sam's. But a long list of my faves are gone.

I would imagine all those talented chefs and sou chefs , prep cooks are transitioning into the catering gig until they can fund another restaurant....foodies are going to cook somewhere regardless the circumstances..even if it means a food cart.

A long list of my favorites here in Portland are also gone. Sam's, I believe from Sacramento, is gone and so is Chevy's also from Cal.

Florida and DeSantis Defy Covid-19 and the Critics
The governor kept the state open, attracting economic activity and emboldening his political ambitions.

And the pandemic winner is … Florida and its governor, Ron DeSantis.

Can anyone doubt it? As the country tries to recover from the pandemic, psychologically as well as economically, Florida is way ahead of just about every other state in the U.S. As of March, its unemployment rate was 4.7%, compared with New York’s 8.5% and California’s 8.3%. The Census Bureau reports that more than 250,000 people moved to Florida last year, second only to Texas. From all indications, the influx has only accelerated in 2021.

The reason, of course, is that in Florida, the pandemic is being treated as ancient history. Are Covid-19 victims still dying in Florida? Yes. But the numbers are relatively low: 45 deaths on Wednesday, for instance. More to the point, throughout the pandemic, DeSantis has insisted on keeping the state open for business even as other states locked down for months at a time. DeSantis was one of the last governors to issue a stay-at-home order, which he did only after weeks of unrelenting criticism, and one of the first to reopen. He required that schools remain open in opposition to the teachers unions. (“Closing schools due to coronavirus is probably the biggest public health blunder in modern American history,” he said.) And he forbade local governments from enforcing mask mandates........

I'll bet I've been to one of those but it was so long ago that I can't remember.
Hey, with my peritoneal dialysis we can attend your wedding whenever you have a wedding. I'm now looking forward to it.

My kids have done great. Straight As.

Only problem is now that schools are re-opened they go to school and "get exposed" and have to miss 2wks of sports. Sucks for my freshman daughter who's just starting to make her move on the varsity team... As if it's not tough enough for a freshman to earn her place without having to quarantine for 2 weeks in the middle of the season.

On the other hand, she has years ahead of her, so it's not the end of the world.

How many lives is money worth? Apparently "only" 45 per day isn't enough to matter.

Didn't the Mayan's used to do that human sacrifice thing as well? Interesting that believing in magical beings makes lives worth less...
 
QAnon Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green compared Nancy Pelosi requiring masks in Congress to Nazi death camps. Because Hitler was just trying to prevent spread of contagious diseases. Or maybe Jewish space lasers.

Hitler admiring congressman Madison Cawthorn, showing he really needs to study American history, opines that the British would not have surrendered if George Washington wore a mask. Washington insisted the Continental army all be inoculated against smallpox, not usual in the 18th century. And while the founders had their shortcomings, the boasting, grandiosity, and bullying of today's Republican party would have been considered unbecoming for a gentleman.

Nothing new under the sun...........

Exclusive Photo: Gretchen Whitmer Violates Own Coronavirus Orders at Dive Bar

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) hit the bar this weekend and violated her own coronavirus orders, according to a photo Breitbart News has exclusively obtained.

Whitmer and a large group of friends, including her appointed chief operations officer, Tricia Foster, visited the Landshark in East Lansing, violating her restaurant orders in the process, according to a photo one of the attendees posted on Facebook.

Allowing unvaccinated children (with guardian) in the vaccinated section seems a bit sketchy. Why not just allow vaccinated people to situate themselves as they wish throughout the stadium then, with no limit on numbers? I realize it has to do with vaccine availability for children, but that doesn't make the rest of the logic hold water.
 
Vaccinated section? So they already dividing people in 2 social classes. Nazi Germany style. Absolutely ridiculous unethical and wrong. The experimental MRNA gene shots are not designed to stop transmissions or reinfection, thats a fact. Most people already had covid and have natrual immunity to virus. The segregation of vaxxed vs unvaxxed its communist china. You heard ?! CDC has now lowered the fraudulent PCR test for vaxxed people to cycle 28 while keeping old formula of 40 cycles on Unvaxxed. This not about health but total control and loss of freedom.
 
Why give huge research grants to companies, in China that use lab's that aren't consider very safe.
We now for sure see the power of media in influencing the narrative and its usually politically driven to protect those in high places. Kind of funny how the media here has pretty bunch debunked its possible it was a lab result.

Comparing a team to safely allow more fans during a fucking pandemic to the Holocaust is a disgusting take no matter what side you're on. Shame on you for this and to @HailBlazers for liking that post.
