[COVID DISASTER NEWS] 1. Louisiana has a resurgence of Covid infections. Why?

By artappraiser on Thu, 07/02/2020 - 5:35pm |

Louisiana is also seeing a large resurgence, and rebounding quite a bit. It is a state that is very vulnerable minority and poor populations. They mostly crushed their curve before but it’s resurging. We must be vigilant. #covid19

Texas. Masks! (McConnell said it was a good thing and then Trump said the black ones were kinda cool like the Lone Ranger, sooo?)

Texas just made masks mandatory in public in all counties with more than 20 cases. #Masks4All

Law & Crime doesn't git that he's still not listening to Dr. Fauci. It's because Mitch said it was okay and Dick Cheney before that and now Trump is playing along, too:

this gal is even more cynical than me:

Absolutely hilarious that Fox News/The GOP has decided the pandemic is real now that it’s hitting red states.

Mitch McConnell and Mike Pence could not be bothered to tell people to wear masks until 125,000 Americans had already died of the virus. But now that Texas and Florida are in trouble they suddenly give a shit.

This poll is actually puzzling to me! Is it the 11% causing the surges or is it that people are lying about what they do?

“Nearly 9 in 10 Americans (89%) who left their home in the last week said they wore a face mask or a face covering, compared to only 11% who said they did not.” https://t.co/EA7KF5shds

Bama Covid parties - South's gonna do it again

by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 07/04/2020 - 1:12am

Ah but I ran across Wired the other day claiming the besmirching of Bama bros was faux. (What I really enjoyed was many of the snarky replies on the thread, which are a surprise as they don't southern bash for the most part either; both funny and refreshing black humor!)

Dagnabbit, youre ruining our "Florida Man" moment.

In meantime, story running both rumor + Cali man apologizung fór going to party before he died does a nice job of stirring the pot.

by PeraclesPlease on Sat, 07/04/2020 - 3:07am

using "dagnabbit" was a real nice touch, there. and sort of proves the point as I can't imagine a "Florida Man" using that expression.

Am i missing something? Wasn't this obvious for months?

(misunderstood lede - if airborne, not, aerosol, i think infections would be 100x current level. Look at countries that wore masks and now opening up slowly. Airborne would bring disaster. Aerosol fits the actual performance.
