And because their $600 dollars per week ends when they are called back to business, whether they go back OR DON’T, they’re begging their business to stay closed, at least in the one case that I’ve heard about.

This morning, there is a group of about 30 jet skis and a couple of boats zipping up and down. All packed with as many people as can fit. I’ve never seen such a huge group. Probably a family reunion. Bet some will get sick. They’ll leave their rental infected and in turn housekeeping, our grocery store, convenience stores, gas stations, the jet ski rental, our restaurants, etc. all infected.

there’s not nearly enough to go around

Right there tells you it isn't time to fully open up.

Italy reopening to tourists:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3845538/posts

Early on in these threads I predicted the world would follow the new teenage driver approach:

Stop, slam on the brakes—done.

Start, jam on the accelerator—in the process of happening.

Stop—probably July or August, as governments start freaking out....

etc

We homo sapiens are so predictable...

What kind of society are we if a chemical formula for combating an epidemic is invented and we don’t let everyone who is sick have it?

Do Vampire-Like Proteins Make Coronavirus More Contagious?

The virus causing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, SARS-CoV-2, has spread far more quickly than any other coronavirus in recorded history. Why is it so contagious? One possibility is that its spike protein is better at breaking into human cells because it contains a part that resembles a proteinaceous infectious particle, or ‘prion‘.

Three children in Israel are believed to have been affected by a Kawasaki-like disease thought linked to COVID-19, Channel 12 news reported on Saturday. All three recovered and have since been released from the hospital, according to the report.

Dr Leifer knows better than to push and 1 day “spike” or “drop” as an indicator of anything. He is pushing his agenda with full knowledge that a single data point is almost worthless. He could be wrong or right, but this is just pushing fear. I notice he said nothing when a much larger 1 day spike hit 4/27.

Also note, he seems to enjoy retweeting anti-Trump crap.

It's pretty much back to the beach in most parts of the USA that have nice beaches too. CA, FL, GA, SC, NC, TX. We were about 2 or 3 weeks behind their peak, so we appear to be ahead of them in reopening, if we are successful.
