I was at my local ACE today to pick up supplies to work on my bathroom. They only allow 13 people in at a time. The 'guard lady' who monitors the 1 in/1 out door was telling us that Sunday two big guys got loud with her, than in a fight with another customer. Why you ask (I did)?

They came together, but only one person came out when it was their turn to go in, so only one could enter. They didn't want to play by the store rules and when the started to get aggressive with her, the next big guy in line told them to relax and they went after him.

People are not handling this well. But we take solace in the fact that our governor knows its difficult, as she sits in a mansion with everything provided for her.

Stopped by a Costco in Albuquerque today. No mask, no entry.

That’s new.

Plus, zero chicken. :: sigh ::

Local news (Columbus ABC/Fox affiliate) reporting that the employees' union made the mask demand on Costco.

We are getting to or past the point of irreparable damage. This shit has to end. Unfortunately people may die, but it's better than the republic dying.

With active case count down over 60 percent from peak, the opening race between the German states is in full swing. Most shops including barbers are open again with appropriate precautions from this week; several state courts have struck down initial limitations to 800 square meters of shopping area as arbitrary. Museums and final classes of elementary and high schools are also back. Some states have announced to permit limited in-house access to restaurants from next week, and hotels the one after next. Saxony-Anhalt raised the limit of meetings between non-household persons in public from two to five. There are thoughts about bringing all of the school and daycare system and limited availability of theaters and public pools back online, though it will probably take until summer, in part because businesses can plan for it.

What next, brussel sprouts? How about tofu?

Usual workers at a meat or poultry plant would be very hard to get into compliance conditions.

Virginia to begin double-counting multiple positive coronavirus cases

The new policy may serve to sharply drive up case numbers, which may in turn significantly delay the re-opening of the state.

https://justthenews.com/politi..._campaign=newsletter

Virginia this week will begin counting multiple positive coronavirus tests in the same patient as new individual cases of the disease, a policy decision likely to significantly drive up reported case numbers in a state that has been relatively spared the worst of the pandemic so far.

The state government announced on Saturday a policy change to its coronavirus data metrics. Health officials will begin reporting "the number of unique people tested per day rather than the number of unique people who have been tested at any point during the response," the new policy states.

"We know individual people, especially healthcare workers and those in high-risk settings, may be tested more than once over time. This new method of providing test data also allows us to provide the number of tests per day," the policy continues, adding: "We believe these data to be a better representation of SARS-CoV-2 testing in Virginia, and a better guide to the public and policy-makers as they assess availability."

At a press conference on Friday, State Health Commissioner Norman Oliver gave an example of a single patient being tested four times for COVID-19. "What we’re doing now is, we’re counting all four tests," Oliver said. "That’s the difference."

What was unclear from the new policy is whether or not each positive test result would be counted as a new case of coronavirus altogether rather than merely a new test. The Virginia Department of Health's COVID-19 dashboard displays the total number of cases in the state, the total number of tests performed, and the total number of "unique people tested" by state officials.

Reached via email on Monday morning, Joe Macenka, a spokesman for Virginia's COVID-19 Joint Information Command, confirmed that each positive case of the disease would be counted as a new case altogether. "If a person is tested on different days, those tests are counted as separate," he said.

Pressed to clarify the policy, Macenka said that repeat positive cases "are counted as separate cases only if the tests occur on different days. If [a Virginia resident] tested Monday and Tuesday and both are positive, that's two positives."

Re-opening of state tied to declining case numbers

That policy may serve to sharply drive up case numbers, which may in turn significantly delay the re-opening of the state. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has stated that the state will begin its first phase of re-opening only when state officials have logged 14 straight days of declining case numbers and hospitalizations.

The governor last week did allow elective surgeries in the state to resume, though the state's stay-at-home order, which is set to last until June 10, is still in place.

Virginia has been hit relatively lightly by the coronavirus pandemic compared to many other states. According to Worldometers, it ranks 21st in the country for deaths per one million residents, and 20th for cases.

Last month State Health Commissioner Oliver claimed that the initial "Phase One" of re-opening the state might take up to two years, though state officials quickly disavowed that estimate and said Oliver had misspoken.

Of course that will drive up the numbers....they have to find a way to justify and keep their power over all the common folk.

^^^ OMG
Para's right... you can't trust the numbers coming out of government. It's all about power and control over the people.

What? No it’s not.

Hey if 100,000 of us with high BP check that every day for a year under this goofed up logic that’s 36.5 million new cases of high BP in next year.

Come on this is silly. They clearly could count tests done separate from unique infected persons. If they wanted.

I don't know either way, but back on the 15th of April I read a piece that 1.87 million people had been tested, and yet 2.15 million tests had been administered. The article went on to discuss that people in heath care and EMS had been receiving test more frequently, and that approximately 300,000 had received testing multiple times.

Another lockdown skeptic. I agree with Nigel.

“Nigel Farage today said he is the victim of 'lockdown lunacy' after two 'sheepish' police officers turned up on his doorstep to chide him over his trip to Dover to highlight the huge numbers of migrants arriving in Britain by boat.

The law enforcers 'advised' the ex-MEP about lockdown rules and essential travel after a complaint was reportedly made following his trip to the Port of Dover in Kent to report on the UK's 'illegal migrant scandal'.

Mr Farage previously claimed police had been 'bombarded' with complaints he flouted stay-at-home rules last week over a separate journey to the East Sussex coast.”

Google and read some of the psychological studies done on people locked away in solitary confinement. These people's mental health heads down hill quickly which is the reason solitary is used very judiciously. You cannot lock up the masses in their homes, then walk all over their other rights while the media continually whips up fear, without 'some' of these people responding very badly. If Whitmer and some of these other wannabe dictators don't back off, my bet is we're going to see a lot more incidents like this occur.

Yeah. I mentioned this fact several weeks ago. Domestic violence calls are way up and thanks to the media a secondary mental health crisis is upon us.

"“We had some food, we had some drinks set up and we were playing music. About an hour and twenty minutes in, Lee County shows up and we have to stop,” restaurant owner Tommy Cook said.
Cook denies the claim his customers weren’t following the CDC’s social distancing guidelines. He said he was told he was in violation of the governor’s executive order. The order, among other restrictions, mandated restaurants limit operations to takeout or delivery only until May 4.

“These laws can be arbitrary. The governor’s saying this and saying that. I mean what they’re even doing to hair salons is incredible. It’s tyranny. Just cut and dry,” Cook said"



Governor DeSantis' original executive order was set to expire May 1, but he extended it to May 4. That's incredibly arbitrary in my mind.

Overall, I'm not impressed with DeSantis. He barely beat a meth-head Democrat. He started well with the China Virus, then fell in line. Listening to his press conferences lately, he tells us how great things are, how things are exponentially better than expected, and yet doubles down on the BS. His boating Executive Order is blatantly against Florida Statutes. In the next primary, I'll be voting for whoever is running against him.

It could be worse... you could have a Governor like Kate Brown....

Oregon Governor Kate Brown Extends Emergency Declaration Past Independence Day

On Friday, Oregon Governor Kate Brown held a press conference to discuss the latest developments in the containment efforts of the Wuhan coronavirus, and how to implement safe reopening procedures for different parts of Oregon. She failed, however, to announce the specific framework of the reopening, and said she would extend the emergency declaration until July 6 — two days after Independence Day.

Although Brown has announced a gradual plan to allow businesses to reopen, her emergency declaration gives state agencies the ability to set their own rules for a longer period.

As of this past weekend, Oregon had 2,690 cases of COVID-19 and 109 deaths, putting them near the bottom of states in both numbers.

In her press conference, Brown said right off the bat, “I want to be clear. We will not be able to reopen Oregon quickly, or in one fell swoop.” She said that some rural counties could reopen by May 15, but it could take longer in counties with more than five cases of COVID-19.

Prior to this, slowing the suicide rate was a weekly thing on the news. It's been eerily quiet. I know from the scanner and talking to people suicidal subjects and suicides are off the charts in SE Michigan
