so if we stopped testing, does that mean we would completely flatten the curve?

just curious, but do you find it a burden to make every post about one single recurring theme?

and also, how do account for people who don't want to follow wearing masks or practicing social distancing? what would you do to change that?

Don’t really get your 1st point, I was just having a back and forth. 
 

As far as the 2nd point, for 1, you lead by example, you wear masks, you don’t hold rallies and invite people to congregate inside without social distancing. Also you hold press conferences and explain the science of why masks and social distance works, you show the charts and explain the severity of the spread. And if that doesn’t work you enforce through the localities. Lots of cities have been enforcing masks both Republican and Democrat mayors, just not enough right now

Yes the same way you won’t gain weight if you don’t step on the scale

Yeah, but it will also take out others incidentally while also further crippling the economy.

Vacation hotspot to close beaches over July 4th weekend because of coronavirus spike

Beaches in Miami-Dade County will close for the July Fourth weekend-- less than a month after reopening-- and gatherings of 50 or more will be prohibited due to recent surges in coronavirus cases.

Americans likely to be barred from Europe when borders reopen next week due to coronavirus surge

Americans likely won’t be welcome next week when the European Union starts reopening its borders to international travel.

The reason: surging numbers of coronavirus cases in the United States.

Late Friday, the E.U.’s European Council agreed to a draft proposal setting out criteria for the new travel rules and a list of countries whose residents would be allowed in. The U.S. is reportedly not on the list.

A European Union official told Fox News that the U.S. currently "won't fit into the criteria that are on the table" for entry into Europe.

Coronavirus is still seen as actively spreading in America, with a number of states reporting record numbers of confirmed infections. Americans have been banned from the E.U. since March.

My wife is taking her dog back now cause she misses him.  He had to come over because her shifts increased.  He gets a good bath when he gets here and goes back, mostly because at her apartments he rolls in their artificial turf dog parks and smells. She went to the ICU floor and guess met nurse Ratched and got chewed out just because they assigned her there.  She is a newbie and the older nurses are getting tense she says because the beds are filling, not all Kumbaya at the hospitals as gets reported. I told her not to worry though, due to the leadership of the President we have beaten the invisible enemy.

Funny thing is no temperatures taken, nobody gets tested, just get to work, we do more testing than anyone. She already resigned to they all have it.  Thanks for asking.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Is she in Dallas or Houston? I honestly don't remember.

Dallas, Houston is worse but it's on the rise here. She works at the hospital where they had the Ebola nurse all over the news had to get flown out to Walter Reed or wherever in a contained jet. She is job hunting as when they start they have to sign like a 2 year lease to stay or you owe some money back and she has about another 6 months then can run.

She probably already knows this but the military installations are always hiring. Not sure how the money compares to public sector but the environment is relaxed. Here is link

I was at a Walmart in Bend, Oregon yesterday and maybe 10% were wearing masks.  Bunch of freedom loving patriots here!

Idiots.

I hear Bend, Oregon has some amazing breweries.

I don’t know about that, but the Walmart was awesome!

[tdawg87]

I feel like a Walmart in Bend, Oregon would be filled with chubby white guys with beards wearing plaid shirts and wool hats looking for fishing rods and purchasing igloo coolers.

I was lucky enough to try this one. Alpine had a keg of it at their brew pub. It was incredible.

Nobody's going to be thinking about the Spurs.
