Holy smokes...over 15,000 new confirmed cases in Florida in just one day. Reminds me of that line from American Beauty: "Never underestimate the power of denial." Suddenly that death toll projection of 250,000 Americans by year's end doesn't look so unlikely...High numbers again today, although today is Sunday and it seems since the beginning that reporting has been lower on Sundays...Florida set a record in new cases in one day...

The idea that government officials will be opening up schools without a plan to protect the children is inexcusable and almost criminal in my mind.
And parents.Yep and here is a good case reason not to be so haste in reopening schools, we are putting at risk not only the children but teachers as well...
You would think that Boris Johnson would be all in to making people wear a mask after he caught the virus himself. Like all politicians he doesn’t want to make an unpopular decision where the voting public will dislike him.Boris Johnson finally says people SHOULD wear face masks in shops and is poised to make them compulsory 'within days' after weeks of dithering and mixed messages from ministers
Boris Johnson, who was once again wearing a covering out and about in London, insisted they had a 'great deal of value' in confined spaces such as shops. After weeks of dithering, he said ministers and officials were 'looking at' the guidance on whether they should be compulsory in such settings, and suggested an announcement is imminent. The comments came amid accusations that the government is 'all over the place' on face masks with the premier and Michael Gove seemingly at odds over requiring them in shops. Currently they are only required by law on public transport in England. Justice Secretary Robert Buckland added to the sense of drift by saying 'perhaps' masks should become mandatory inside.

This waffling between opening up businesses and then turning around shortly afterwards to close things down is only going to piss people off even more and make them ignore whatever rules the state governments set up. Make a decision and then stick to your guns until there is a downturn in Corona cases.California governor orders widespread closures of businesses as coronavirus cases surge
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday ordered a halt to indoor activities at certain businesses statewide as cases of coronavirus surge in the country’s most populous state. Newsom announced during a press briefing that all bars across the state must close up shop and that restaurants, wineries, tasting rooms, family entertainment centers, zoos, museums and card rooms must suspend indoor activities.
The governor also announced that all gyms, places of worship, malls, personal care services, barbershops, salons, and non-critical offices in counties on the state’s “monitoring list” had to shut down under the new order. The order affects more than 30 counties which are home to about 80 percent of California’s population.
"We've made this point on multiple occasions and that is, we're moving back into a modification mode of our original stay-at-home order," Newsom said during his press briefing. "This continues to be a deadly disease.”

Start counting the cases of people getting the virus. There must be a “stupid gene” that is kicking in with these humans. Does partying so close at hand overrule everyone’s thought process? This is the part that boggles my mind. The idea of not using any common sense to stay alive.Revelers who partied at Michigan lake for packed Fourth of July sandbar party begin to test positive as hundreds are warned to monitor for symptoms
Over Fourth of July weekend hundreds of revelers partied at a Michigan lake sandbar, but some attendees have since tested positive for COVID-19. Health officials announced Friday that several people have tested positive after joining in on the festivities at the Torch Lake sandbar in Milton Township, and now attendees are being told to monitor themselves for symptoms for 14 days.
Those who tested positive for COVID-19 were not able to identify other people they had been in contact with at the party, making contact tracing impossible. Shocking photographs of the carefree festivities show hordes of people packed on the sand ignoring social distancing orders and hundreds of boats crowding around the sandbar.
'Therefore we want to make the public aware that those who attended could be at risk for exposure, and additional cases could be seen in the coming days,' the Health Department of Northwest Michigan said Friday.
The Torch Lake sandbar has now been listed as a possible coronavirus exposure site.
'If you were at the Torch Lake Sandbar party over 4th of July weekend, you should monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 and seek testing if symptoms should develop or if you were at high risk for exposure due to being in close proximity with others or not wearing a cloth facial covering,' officials said.
Michigan has seen a surge in COVID-19 cases in recent days.
Johnson is a sociopath as is Trump and many of our leaders.They care only about themselves.I despair how many people fail to see this and keep voting for these parasites.You would think that Boris Johnson would be all in to making people wear a mask after he caught the virus himself.

It does amaze me sometimes when people hang on every word spoken by a politician. Haven’t these people figured out that politicians are chronic cheats and liars? I cringe sometimes when I see crowds at these political rallies. You would think that Jesus was speaking to them.Johnson is a sociopath as is Trump and many of our leaders.They care only about themselves.I despair how many people fail to see this and keep voting for these parasites.
