Really beginning to hope for a normal or close to normal football season
I was thinking the same thing. If the virus is as Contagious as experts keep saying there should be massive spikes in all these cities where protest and riots have been going on cause social distancing was sure not being practiced.

These cities are about to have a major medical issue.

I think the heat and being out side is going to save them. Plus I didn't see any old people or oxygen machines. They will probably be ok. Who knows in a wierd way it might enable football to return with fans in the stadium.

I am curious to see the results of this.

The formula for catching it: Proximity x Time = Sick You must be around a contaminated person for more than just a short time to to get an adequate viral load.
Praise The Lord and Go Dawgs!!!

Don?t blink to quick. Rumor has it that the state is worried we are about to hit hospital capacity in the Jackson area.

The potential is there for a massive increase in cases in the Black Lives Matter crowds due to protest. I have been listening to 24h news nonstop while working. They are still discussing the risk of covid, but obviously with the protest and the dumbass looters, there are more items to discuss that people are waiting to see. If the cases do not increase in these areas, then opening up things seems to be safer than previously thought. Luckily, the protest are outside and not in an enclosed air space. I am sure I am like all of you, I want the protest to be peaceful, I want the protest to fundamentally change how we approach race issues moving forward, and I want those people to be safe from both being attacked and COVID. Unfortunately, the scum of the earth right now is looting rioting. Like, 17n get a clue dumbass bitches. If i had it my way, the protesters would protest, and the second it starts to get out of hand, the thousands of people squash it immediately with extreme prejudice. Protesters get my full support, rioters and looters are 17n bullshit and deserve getting their asses kicked.
I wish the protesters could stand in their way and just stop it, but in reality they are looting using guerrilla warfare tactics.
edited to add, I stand with the BLM people protesting peacefully. 100%.

Mississippi is getting really close to overloading the ICU/COVID wards in at least one place. It's going to be heck if we have to go back on lockdown. I suspect it will be county by county if it happens.

You got a link?
I have a good friend who works ICU in Jackson works with C19 patients and he is off this week. I would think if it was as bad as you say then he wouldn't be able to take off.

It depends on how many nurses they have in relation to the need. It could be his area is over staffed. You don't need every nurse in the entire hospital to be at work at the same time. Yesterday, every ICU in the Jackson and Meridian areas was on diversion. Now, that is obviously not all due to COVID, and it's not abnormal to be on diversion. But I guess the issue is all of them being on diversion at the same time. The healthcare infrastructure is not great in this state to begin with. But you can always airlift to other hospitals. You can always open up ERs and ORs as ICUs. That happens during flu season. We know what to do. The problem comes in when you have something like a stroke or heart attack where time really does matter.

True, true. Journalistic spin at its finest. If it don't fit their narrative, don't use it.

The real threat isn't fleeting contact, esp outdoors. It's contact greater than 5 minutes, esp indoors. You still should wear a mask indoors in public spaces always. If you are going to be sitting next to someone at an outdoor event you need to too.

Yes virus is real but severity and reaction are not. There is a reason they didn't call it something flu. Flu doesn't scare anyone. Corona virus didn't stick either because virus doesn't scare anyone. A new name for a new disease gets everyone scared and ready to follow whatever they are told. Covid19 sounds bad. Psychological warfare 101.
I was in the Smokies last weekend as well. I have NEVER seen it so crowded. Friday night wasn?t bad but Saturday the streets of Gatlinburg were packed. Took 3 hours to go thru Cades Cove and every major trail had overflow parking. I?d say less than 10% of people wore masks. Ate at the Local Goat in Pigeon Forge Sunday and it seemed to running at around full capacity. Servers were gloved but no masks. If you weren?t aware of the pandemic you?d never know it had happened by being there.

Heard Chicago shut down it's testing centers
The protests are going to have the side affect of limiting the testing done. I wouldn't be surprised to see the numbers dipped regardless as the unrest continues to mount.

This is true. Testing centers have not operated the past couple days. I'm not 100% sure, but they'll likely reopen tomorrow, as things finally started to calm down on Tuesday afternoon. I think testing will have to resume in some capacity given the outbreak potential - we went into Phase 3 on Wednesday, access to the Loop was restored after being cut off for 3 days (bridges were raised, ramps blocked, and CTA service suspended), and although looting has subsided, peaceful protests continue apace. The last three months have been rough. Although shelter-in-place has been lifted, there is now a city-wide curfew between 9pm and 6am.
