Link | 2,709 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 There was so much noise about how Sweden was doing it and America should follow them. Well. I remembered yesterday that everyone was freaked out in March when talk of shutdowns finally started. And I was fine. I just knew, that we would get through this, all we have to do is everybody cooperate and settle down and contain it. And we’ll be fine. Except... people did not want to do that. Fuck those people. They’re the reason we’re still shut down and I’m a wreck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 The N95's have been much cheaper on ebay than before. Might stock up a few more incase that changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,520 Editorials Team · Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Suck it other countries. It's not that we're bad at this pandemic thing, it's that we're TOO GOOD at finding it. And we've talked it about a fraction of a single time, apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people would quit testing for it, they would stop finding it and it would just disappear. Sounds reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I was reading that antibodies might not last for more than a few months for some people, which was causing concern for the ideas of vaccines and herd immunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear a mask and avoid gatherings, people. Sadly we're going to need a lot more of this before people start wearing masks. They mandated them in our county yesterday because of how high spread is, and at the place we picked food up from nobody except servers and one or two guests had a mask on. I'm starting to feel like a broken record at this point, and have given up saying anything to friends or family who won't follow the guidelines. I just let them know we won't be seeing them for the foreseeable future other than on video calls. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear a mask and avoid gatherings, people. I go up to the Port Clinton area often in the summer. I barely see any masks up there. It gets a ton of tourist traffic too in the summer months. I'm very curious to see how that county does in the coming months. I will be there the next few weeks, but will largely hide out at my mom's place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here except Clermont county got flagged for doubling from 4 cases a day to 9 in a county with 200k people. That seems a bit excessive to me.

Skorp | 383 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 1k cases daily here over a week now and some areas $2k fine for no wearing one. Still, see a lot of people not wearing their masks. I've seen people even enter the store with their masks on and then take them off once inside. =/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin03 | 314 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Went for a walk this afternoon. Wore my mask through the building but kept if off outside since we can exercise without. We did a good job crossing streets often to avoid people. I was really disappointed to see a number of people walk into a grocery store without masks. Not surprised though. I may increase my Asian Market trips since they all mask up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiemicrowave | 42 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 At my place of business, I'm seeing a slight increase for elastic (for mask making) fingers crossed this trend continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems a bit excessive to me. So I had to look where Clermont is, but seeing the counties surrounding Clermont it makes sense to me. I don't think it's excessive to try and prevent it from catching up to the neighboring counties, we definitely don't want to become a lost cause like Texas or Florida.

It seems like a bit of a reach to call 9 cases a day in a county of 200k people high risk. Especially when Brown County right to the east is a Level 1.

Especially when Brown County right to the east is a Level 1. I'd assume it's high risk because of three neighboring counties where cases are out of control. I mean I hope it doesn't increase rapidly in Clermont, and their rates aren't why it's considered high risk would be my guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll disregard it, and this will be his only appearance wearing one. In a few days a reporter will ask him why he stopped, and he’ll say I wore it, okay? I wore the mask. And you’re being very unfair, by the way. I said — in hospitals — Look — we have the best people working on it. And SleepyJoebamagate, they call him Sleepy Joe, right? is going to utterly destroy — he got the, did you see this? you see this? He’s going to make your family miserable! It’s horrible what he’s doing. A horror, that’s what they’re calling it. And we cannot lose our economy. Our big, beautiful, American economy. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It supposedly got upgraded to Level 3 because the cases "more than doubled" which is apparently a trigger on the chart, but 9 cases a day in a county with 200k people isn't exactly an outbreak.
