OR This?  ^^^  Easy choice! am good at 8ft away

They were more like 8"- 12" away from one another. That was an amazing crowd for a podunk town. One of theses days, I plan on eating there (The Little River) myself- it's a really popular spot for the motorcycle crowd, so the food has to be at least 1\2 decent.   I think you know my feelings- it's your life, but if you get sick- you were duly warned.  And please stay away from the old folks and at risk individuals for a couple of weeks. 

I've been out to a couple of restaurants myself in the last month. Dammit, the owner of Jay's (where we have our Friday Happy hour wine swill) shut it down again. I feel for Joe the beverage manager- who got laid off again in the process. Going to have to be rotating backyard BYOB- with social distancing now. And I have a lifetime supply of BYOB....

Maybe you should ask Tex for a firsthand report of the real source of the covid problem in Texas....

Isn't it obvious. After a record 15,000 cases in one day today clearly Florida was the source. They do border the Gulf of MEXICO you know. Cal didn't try to explain them, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. Just did a little border search like fuzzy headed Donald the premier Geographer. I on the other hand predicted them all based on reopenings way too soon. Didn't need any Mexicans, Africans or Swedes to blame. Just the Moron in Chief who is trying it for a second time in a far more sinister way. Spread it through premature school openings while you tear down the data, the data gatherers and the data analysts. Seems like someone here predicted that was next about a month ago or so.

From another friend..

 

"I haven’t posted anything on Covid... at all. But I am actually WEAK right now from what I just found out.

My co workers went to get tested (Alameda Location). They filled out the information for the test but the wait was 3 hours long and they decided they weren’t going to wait so left the line BEFORE they got tested.

They both got a call today that they are POSITIVE for the Corona Virus...

THEY NEVER GOT TESTED!!!"

 

I'm hearing things like this more and more .. I omitted the name and location for obvious reasons...

 

We all have the covid trackers on our phones. I feel it's just a matter of time before I'm contacted by a "tracker/tracer" and told I've been in close proximity to a Covid positive person (whether I have or haven't) and told that I am being registered as covid positive as a result.

All you do is spout paranoia, bash Democrats, and defend President Lysol. 

And draw false conclusions. Does nothing? Because the Governor wouldn't let her (and several other Mayors), until very recently. But keep up with the bullshit.... 

Did a few covid cases leak over the border? Sure. But to say they're the primary reason there's massive outbreaks in Arizona and Texas because of illegals is a bunch of crap.  I don't need to post 10-15 stories going back to April to prove I'm right. I'm sure not going to waste my time doing so. However, you apparently want to blame it all on the Democrats. Well, guess what- the Governors of Arizona and Texas are Republicans who followed the lead of that Quack who inhabits the White House... And are now paying the price for doing so....  

Maybe you should ask Tex for a firsthand report of the real source of the covid problem in Texas.... 

 

blah blah. I never said "primary reason". I simply tried to explain to you, lib...I mean "independent"... that there are a lot more reasons for the spike than your simple minded TDS blaming republicans and especially Pres Trump.

     Like college kids partying at the beaches. Like regular folks not listening and not wearing masks. Like protesters. This spike was predicted to happen AFTER the beaches populated and the protests happened.

Toss in regular folks refusing to wear masks...I have seen entire families, with young kids, NOT wearing masks going into grocery and hardware stores weeks and weeks ago.

    But every single politician in every country on earth is terrible because "they could have stopped the virus"...

   give us a break from your dumb TDS garbage'. I get firsthand reports from friends back in McKinney Texas, and FT Worth where the brother in law lives.

  You don't link, your opinions stink.

Have a nice day.

Now it was way too heavy handed, but I did get amused by CNN ripping into Betty Devose trying to defend Trump's "open the schools", right after his  "open the economy" has cases going through the roof. Only reason Pelosi and the Democrats aren't going to impeach him for a truly historic second time "for high crimes and misdemeanors" causing unnecessary sickness and death among Americans is- they figure he's Dead Man Walking in November.... And his Republican lemming senators wouldn't dare kick him out of office- OTOH, if they value their own jobs- maybe they should at least think about it....  

At least here Dayton way- people have more sense than "I wanna be (re)elected President Hydroxy-Lysol.... the DDN opinion poll asked the question- Are you comfortable sending your kid back to school?  The answer? 80% nope.

Damn- you tried- and failed- to turn it into a border wall problem Cal- nice try at deflection....  My, my- again- there's a massive denial of reality emanating from the White House.

We have a plan to quarantine him away from his family if he has to return to teach. I'm thinking our Governor was totally shocked by what happened here when he reopened

everything too early. He did a 180 and closed it back down. I think he''s done listening to the Moron in the WH demanding schools reopen. Last time he listened he got himself a 

disaster just like I predicted it would be right here on the BB. School reopenings would be far, far worse. Too many infected kids bringing it back to too many multi-generational

extended families. Tillerson was right. He's a Moron. 

 

Hey Tex I like you, honestly. Just as honestly I have zero respect for your politics only because your blind obsession & hatred of the president is easily equal to that found in some of the members of the board on the other side that you and others bitch about on a daily basis. And if because of that you vote in favor of the lunatics on the hard left then I would have to assume that your or anyone's claims of conservatism are bullshit.

That being said...

Once in awhile in online debates somebody will facetiously say I feel sorry for you when they really don't , they just want to be insulting. In this case I actually kind of do for you or anybody who really lives in such fear of the virus. Frankly I don't think Woody falls into that category I think he just wants to be an asshole, but you might actually be afraid and if so I'm sorry to hear it pal. Nothing I can do about it and I don't think any politician can either but it is what it is. There are hundreds of thousands of real stories of personal tragedy in the United States that we don't close down the country for but it probably doesn't make it any less real for the individual whose loved one actually dies. For whatever reason.

more blah blah blah? lol Fauci is wrong about things, Pence and Trump DO LISTEN TO THE MEDICAL EXPERTS and SCIENCE, so that TDS of yours is causing you major failsies. And blaming the spike on schools reopening. LOL. THEY HAVE NOT REOPENED YET.

It's a huge problem. No country on earth has handled this virus correctly - it's a pandemic, but do go ahead and cry "xenophobic" because nasty pelosi does. You libera... I mean "independents" sure parrot pelosi's etc talking points. Every single time, it's like you and your other TDS friends are little toys that have recorders that repeat what is said (by your TDS leaders).

   Starting the schools back up is important - how to do it safely? beats me, but the entire medical team argues these points out in the open. Sorry you, Tex and your little woodpecker aren't there to be a part of it so you won't bitch constantly about what isn't true.....

  BTW, opening schools - our Niece wants to home school - the Mother-in-law has health problems and can't be exposed to it. Other friends of theirs want to home school for similar reasons.

  The Father-in-law's beautiful assisted living - the folks there are pretty much staying in their rooms, they don't go out on trips, they don't get together in the dining room for meals... it's sad to be them. No visitation, and they stopped doing the silly "window drive by" visits - that kinda backfired = the residents weren't happy.

But, none of them got the virus and none died, they are good. It's a sad thing - all around the world, everywhere, and all you dweebs can do it use it to bitch at Pres Trump and ridicule him for no good reason.

That's sad, too.

Trump listens hardy- ho- ho...  More like he "hardly listens....

President Donald Trump retweeted a post claiming the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and others are telling "outrageous lies" about the pandemic. The original tweet, from conservative podcast host Chuck Woolery, claims the lies are politically motivated and designed to keep the economy from reviving.

"The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying," Woolery, a former game show host, wrote. "The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it's all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it."

and now, for the REST OF THE STORY that libe..I mean, "Independents" won't tell you:

https://www.redstate.com/bradslager/2020/07/13/873150/

”Alarming’’, ”shattering’’, ”staggering”, and other brash words are going to be used throughout the day, but the details are what matters. While that number does make the eyes pop open there is some sound reasoning behind it. Florida has this spike in caseloads as a result of a massive explosion of tests being conducted. The sharp increase arrived as over 135,000 tests were conducted on Saturday, so yes, while more cases are recorded it is a result of widespread testing.

"Unfortunately, the virus is spreading more quickly than it ever has, cleveland.com editor Chris Quinn says. On Friday, there were 1,525 new cases, (in Ohio) which easily tops the previous one-day record of 1,380 ... set in April. The rate of positive tests is up, too. The surge has resulted in masks being mandatory in Cuyahoga County".  

So much for Cal deflecting aw gee, more testing in Florida = more cases.  Remains to be seen if improved treatment protocols will keep the number of deaths relatively flat when the explosion of new cases start croaking from complications...

Our county had a total of just over 300 cases from the time this all started until 3 weeks ago. We have now gone up tenfold plus in the 3 weeks since then to just over 3800. And you don't just get to go get tested because you want to. An MD has to certify that you have symptoms of COVID-19 and order testing.  No free drive-by clinic just to see if your ok or not. Pretty much works that way in most of Texas as far as I am aware.

Please wear a mask. If you look at spread of cases in countries where they wear masks when they're sick as part of the culture (Japan, Taiwan, Korea) versus places they don't, the value of the mask speaks for itself. Cases are spiking pretty much everywhere, and everywhere I go, I see people who aren't wearing their masks properly (it does nothing if you don't cover your nose). 

If everybody wore them properly for 6 weeks, this thing would be under control. Countries that got it under control early are basically back to normal. Yes, you're only likely to die from the virus if you are over 60 or obese. However, the primary goal of all of this is to keep hospitals from being overrun. Once ICUs reach capacity, people with all sorts of diseases will be dying due to a lack of access to care. That is when shit hits the fan.
