They just can't find work. I have a feeling we haven't seen anything yet in terms of financial suffering. Don’t worry, if the senate republicans get their wish and the extra $600 for unemployment is allowed to end and the second stimulus check is heavily means tested, we will see more financial suffering soon enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes people of all stripes are irresponsible but it’s flamed by a President who says the CDC and Doctors are lying and the dumb +++++s who believe him. In Placer we have morons not wearing masks sitting at booths to impeach Newsom. I am surprised I have not read about Fresno's and Placerville's hospitals being overrun. It must be bad if they are responsible for the spike given the huge populations in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, and the like.

In all counties, he ordered a closure of bars, movie theaters, indoor services such as dining and wine tasting, etc. Then for 30 counties currently experiencing large outbreaks, he also has ordered the closure of churches, gyms, hair and nail salons and barber shops, and indoor malls. The 30 counties with larger closures are: Colusa, Contra Costa, Fresno, Glenn, Imperial, Kern, Kings, Los Angeles, Madera, Marin, Merced, Monterey, Napa, Orange, Placer, Riverside, Sacramento, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Joaquin, Santa Barbara, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tulare, Yolo, Yuba, and Ventura. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-07-13/newsom-california-county-rollback-reopening-coronavirus Initially Kern County was off the list, but our own county officials stated that we will probably fail the states monitoring metrics within the next few days and will be put back on the list.

I live hear and listen to people talk about masks. My super Trumper friend has had 4 Bypasses and is overweight. He also has a grandson getting chemo for luekemia. We went to a party with 25 people none of whom were wearing masks. Someone already posted the survey on mask use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it had the same population of Florida it would have 3,000 daily cases. Florida has 15K daily cases! This isn't a really great comparison.

I was referring to your post that commented the percent of people that wear masks outside the home. Maybe the poll should have said in a public place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe contact tracing isn't the right phrase. What I'm looking for is some kind of study or survey or tracing that demonstrates the protests are significantly responsible for the spikes. I mean, there's a big church thing in Louisiana or whatever, and a bunch of people that were there get covid and that's trackable to the source with some reliability. We need to see large cases arise from people that attended protests. Show me the money. To my knowledge, all we have right now is supposition. Seems like outdoor transmission isn't as likely, but like I said, show me the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The open bars contributed, but 3,000 people shoulder to shoulder had to be a factor unless protesters are exempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked around downtown a few nights with a lady friend to people watch without actually going in. They were packed with 20'somethings. The 3,000 protest was a factor as well.

I wear mine when I get out of my car, and I take it off when I get back into my car. After I've used hand sanitizer. When I step out of my front door, I'm on my property, and I'm walking to my car. I also don't wear one when I'm out on a walk, because it isn't a requirement when you're getting exercise. If I'm going into a situation where I'm going to be entering a public building or otherwise interacting with people, I wear the damn mask. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep a mask in my car, a mask in my wife’s car, and a mask at home for when I go out and walk; goes in my pocket just in case I have to walk past people I throw it on real quick, and once I walk a few strides past them I take it back off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet is young urbanite (hardly a Trump contingent) bar hoppers have more to do with the spread. There are plenty of stupid people with a D next to their name.
