Photos and videos of large crowds gathering on New York’s Fire Island over the July 4 weekend are drawing the ire of hundreds on social media. Officers from the Suffolk County Police Department were called to the beach in Fire Island Pines twice on Saturday regarding reports of a large number of people failing to social distance or wear face coverings as they partied in the sand. Numerous videos have since been shared across Twitter and Instagram documenting the troubling scenes at the popular vacation spot, showing cohorts of dwellers stood closely together without masks on.

This is impossible. My New York friends told me that only Florida was being reckless and disobeying the rules.
"Maskless" makes me think of this, lol.
GAYS are RECKLESS!
Lived in Suffolk County from 1971-85 before leaving NY forever for Japan . Nothing like FI here , and all those “ rest stops “ along 495 where certain people used to hook up .
Will HIV kill the Coronavirus?
New Yorkers are very smart and sophisticated. Just ask them, they’ll tell you. They know so much more than us hicks in flyover country, so this must be okay. Not worried.
I am watching a non gay 28 year old who refuses to wear a mask..goes out and parties..who now has it with his GF and his buddies..lost his sense of taste and smelll but is getting through it just fine...
And he is out spreading it in such a careless DGAF way
It is amazing to watch the sheer stupidity of it
There have been known positives caught running around loose in my neck of the woods with ZERO repercussions.
Meanwhile, Cuomo masks and locks up the healthy.
Stupidity...
Are you talking about Covid’s Typhoid Mary there, NYS’s pols, all of the above?
All of it.
Nascar jimmie johnson tested positive. He Wore masks..moved to aspen...washed hands...tested positive for the antibodies
so he thought he already had it..and now he has it. No symptoms other than tickle in throat
Cant drive again until two negative tests in a row
So now what. When we know testing problematic..
I am so ready for 2020 to be over
I took an antibody test thinking I’d had it months before. Picked the place to do it because I like the testing platform being used. My antibody test came back positive for a current infection. Went back a week later for a PCR and we both tested negative. Don’t know what in tarnation to think.
What terrifies the living snot outta me: If all this was done and/or taken advantage of to get Trump, what the heck is Deep State gonna to do to us after Trump's re-elected...
“troubling scenes at the popular vacation spot, showing cohorts of dwellers stood closely together without masks on”
how did it get to this? where can we find the origins of the lockdown script? that fact it is virtually the same script in Australia with a mere 106 deaths as it is in countries with tens of thousands of deaths (forget per capita deaths for a moment) suggests lockdowns have been engineered on a global level:
no answers, but some good questions:

ends with several minutes of responses from Polly’s viewers on a related lockdown question:
Youtube: 43m: 1 Jul: Amazing Polly: Is this Torture?
By comparing our situation to the study of torture & coercion on Prisoners of War, I believe it becomes clear that what we are being put through with the virus response is a near perfect parallel to the Amnesty International definition of torture & Bidermans ‘Chart of Coercion.’..

end lockdowns/shut-downs. they have led to BLM/Antifa owning the streets, while everyone else, including the police, barely dares to breathe.
A biochemist on texags site said he would not trust the antibody tests that had come out.
Dont know if newer ones are better
Scientists now looking at chromosome 3 to see if it makes you more susceptible
This is the Neanderthal story
oh really!
17 March: MIT Technology Review: We’re not going back to normal
Social distancing is here to stay for much more than a few weeks. It will upend our way of life, in some ways forever.
by Gideon Lichfield
To stop coronavirus we will need to radically change almost everything we do: how we work, exercise, socialize, shop, manage our health, educate our kids, take care of family members.
It’s now widely agreed (even by Britain, finally) that every country needs to “flatten the curve”: impose social distancing to slow the spread of the virus so that the number of people sick at once doesn’t cause the health-care system to collapse, as it is threatening to do in Italy right now. That means the pandemic needs to last, at a low level, until either enough people have had Covid-19 to leave most immune (assuming immunity lasts for years, which we don’t know) or there’s a vaccine...
Yesterday President Donald Trump, announcing new guidelines such as a 10-person limit on gatherings, said that “with several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly.”...
But it won’t end there. As long as someone in the world has the virus, breakouts can and will keep recurring without stringent controls to contain them. In a report yesterday (pdf), researchers at Imperial College London proposed a way of doing this: impose more extreme social distancing measures every time admissions to intensive care units (ICUs) start to spike, and relax them each time admissions fall. Here’s how that looks in a graph...
Under this model, the researchers conclude, social distancing and school closures would need to be in force some two-thirds of the time—roughly two months on and one month off—until a vaccine is available, which will take at least 18 months (if it works at all)...
Without social distancing of the whole population, they found, even the best mitigation strategy—which means isolation or quarantine of the sick, the old, and those who have been exposed, plus school closures—would still lead to a surge of critically ill people eight times bigger than the US or UK system can cope with...
Ultimately, however, I predict that we’ll restore the ability to socialize safely by developing more sophisticated ways to identify who is a disease risk and who isn’t, and discriminating—legally—against those who are...
We’ll adapt to and accept such measures, much as we’ve adapted to increasingly stringent airport security screenings in the wake of terrorist attacks. The intrusive surveillance will be considered a small price to pay for the basic freedom to be with other people...
The best we can hope for is that the depth of this crisis will finally force countries — the US, in particular — to fix the yawning social inequities that make large swaths of their populations so intensely vulnerable.

12 May 2020: EMerge Conference: SILICON VALLEY DOESN’T BUILD THINGS: GIDEON LICHFIELD WILL SPEAK AT EMERGE 2020
Our keynote speaker Gideon will share his thoughts supported with facts about the future of Silicon Valley as an innovation tech hub and why it’s the next COVID’s victim.
In our decades of infatuation with Silicon Valley, we ignored what the pandemic has now made clear: the Valley doesn’t build things. It produces software that makes life more convenient and efficient, but it doesn’t help update aging infrastructure, tackle climate change, make food supplies more sustainable... or fight pandemics. And the products it does make are contributing to the problems of misinformation and political paralysis that are making covid harder to overcome. The Valley was already reeling from the “techlash”; now, Gideon will argue, covid will accelerate its decline, and other global hubs will become the centers of opportunity for developing the solutions our world really needs...

I read the boilerplate for a number of tests before I picked one. It had previously gotten Fedzilla approval and crossreactivity was supposed to be 5% or less. Sigh.
Fire Island Pines? Watch the Covid numbers. Comorbidity will be rampant there!
“ what the heck is Deep State gonna to do to us after Trump’s re-elected..”
Have the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor, let the Japanese take Hollywood prisoner.
