What's 21 cases daily divided by 20 Million? My calculator can't even calculate that fraction.

Utah saw 407 today with 3 million in population. What's happening in China doesn't seem an issue.

Hang on, I want to throw around some meaningless numbers, too.

New York Gov. Cuomo considering a quarantine on travelers from Florida as coronavirus cases rise

PUBLISHED THU, JUN 18 20201:12 PM EDTUPDATED 4 HOURS AGO

“I haven’t made a decision yet, but I have had experts advise me of that. It is a real concern,” Cuomo said when asked about whether he’d consider imposing some sort of quarantine measure or taking health precautions at airports where travel has increased.

“It could happen, and it’s something I’m considering,” he said. 

In late March, as New York quickly became the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S., Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis mandated through an executive order that travelers arriving in Florida from the New York tri-state area self-isolate for 14 days.

....

“If you went to Florida, you had to quarantine for two weeks because they were afraid that New Yorkers were bringing the virus to their state. Fast forward a 100 days, now we’re afraid they’re bringing the virus to our state,” Cuomo said. 

The governor has previously pointed to Florida among several other states that have seen a resurgence of the virus since reopening. Arizona also reported a record-high number of new Covid-19 cases on Thursday with 2,519. 

“The number of people who are getting infected and getting sick and walking into a hospital is going up in these states. Undeniably. And you can go state by state. It’s Arizona. It’s Texas. It’s Florida. It’s North Carolina. It’s South Carolina. It’s Utah. It’s Montana. It’s Alaska. It’s 20 states on the increase,” Cuomo said.

Hmmm, I wonder what all those states have in common.

^^^^^^
Par for the course. Payback. Guys like Cuomo never forget a perceived injustice.

It's funny you say that...
I've been known to put on my best Peyton Manning voice and shout out "Covid--- 19!" as if it was a football cadence before the snap.

Navy upholds firing of USS Roosevelt Capt. Brett Crozier

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

The Navy will reportedly uphold the firing of Capt. Brett Crozier, who as commander of the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier loudly complained about Covid-19 outbreak on his ship in March.

The decision was first reported by Politico on Friday, based on two people familiar with the findings.

Crozier penned a scathing letter about the outbreak to Navy brass, in which he argued they had done little to nothing to help with the outbreak. Crozier was fired after the letter became public.

the next order may be mandatory underwear and socks, which I would find offensive...

Got to keep the loonies on the path, ya know.

So now that a really small town in North Carolina (Raleigh) is mandated to wear masks everywhere as of an hour ago, our benevolent Gov Cooper is considering a state wide mask wearing mandate and will bestow his gracious decision beginning of next week. This is beyond ridiculous...

I saw where the mental midgets up in Boone are also ordering that. F Cooper and the horse he rode in on!

Is it a law? If not...

Went out and grabbed fuel for the truck and dinner for me this afternoon, and saw '1' person wearing a mask. That's right, '1'. Demmings can kiss mine (and apparently a whole lotta others) lily white ass. The man is unquestionably illiterate, and people around here have apparently decided to ignore him. A step in the right direction for Central Florida....

He's a fucking idiot. Just a politician even when he somehow got elected orange county sheriff. From what I've been told, that asshole politicized orange county sheriff to a ridiculous level which explains the shit they've seemed to hire recently. Can't wait to leave the orange county area.

I finally noted a couple of things to add to the mask chronicles.

There is one supermarket in my town, the closest in about 30 miles, and they have signs requesting patrons wear masks when shopping. And the staff does there. It’s the only business I frequent locally and my only real source of information about attitudes and practices. Here we have a lot of Hispanics, some of whom were born in the U.S., but it’s hard to know which unless one knows them personally. What seems to be common in any case is that they are most likely to not wear masks as requested. I have also heard that there is a higher infection rate among that group that some have attributed to cultural activity differences. Other than that, the compliance seems to be relatively high here. If I had to guess why, it may be because of the percentage of older people who are concerned about compromised lung function at our altitude.

An exception at the store, though, was an early middle-aged “white” woman without a mask who was wearing a cowboy hat and boots and a SIG P250 in open carry. Open carry isn’t unknown here, but it is uncommon, and she is literally the first and only woman I have seen doing it. I believe she was just passing through town as I don’t believe I’ve ever seen her before—at least not carrying a P250.

This virus is an ass kicker. Fever at 101.7 - 101.5 without tylenol. I am absolutely exhausted. This is easily as bad as the worse flu I have ever had.

I have never lost time before, I am so lethargic I drift off the sleep and drift back to consciousness without realizing I was sleeping. I look at the time and an hour passed, and I didn't realize it.

Anybody heard from GA Gator in the last three weeks? No posts after about this time.

I was in the local Walmart this afternoon and was surprised at the number of shoppers not wearing masks. Gov. Blackface ordered them worn inside any business a few weeks ago. I asked the cashier about it and she said Walmart didn't care and weren't enforcing the rule.
