Jeebus people in Tri-Cities are freaking stump dumb at least those who are making the news. For the last week they've been clocking 200-300 new cases a day and yet they hold rallies protesting the Governor's shut down mandate saying they are tired of being scared at home. They are over this and just want to open their doors and let people decide for themselves.
Cue City Council member Clint Didier to say "this is all about control and in America we are free you cannot control us"
OMG - just saw some guy on the news say that governments should try persuasion rather than mandates because with persuasion you treating people with respect. Well that's a 2-way street now isn't it dude?“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

You know what tyranny I'm even more worried about? The tyranny that I'm required to wear clothes to enter pretty much any business in town. This is an unjust mandate and it's unconstitutional! I demand to be allowed to dangle my balls anywhere I want, it's my right as an American!
Also, the same goes for seat belts, drunk driving, and bans on backyard burning. Time for Americans to be FREE!

From a hospital system in Bend: https://www.stcharleshealthcare.org/...-are-frontline
Key excerpt:
During one of our St. Charles COVID-19 Incident Command calls last week, the dire situation we face became increasingly clear. On that day at that time, our Bend hospital was the only hospital in the state with any available ICU beds.
Suddenly, the refrain I’ve been hearing from colleagues throughout the nation hit incredibly close to home. Our health care workers can no longer be considered the front line of this fight. We are now your last resort.
You are on the front line.
Your actions and choices can make the difference for yourself, your families and your loved ones. Because we simply may not have the beds and staff to care for you if we don’t stop the spread of the virus now.

I would like to thank all the maggots who are working tirelessly to defeat Covid-19. We have maggots who drive ambulances, we have maggots who work in hospitals, we have maggots who are developing vaccines. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully that means that at your hospital people were doing a good job before the pandemic. Nationwide people weren't--it was only towards the end of the 2000's that hospitals started to pay closer attention to strict handwashing between patients. When dealing with known cases of resistant organisms people did a good job but not always between silent cases. And no gowning between patients unless they had known resistant bugs And my and my wife's experience as patients several times in the last few years is that MRSA testing did not happen with every admission.
Of course if everyone in the hospital has covid then HCW's are doing extra precautions between all of them and there's no one left to transmit the other bugs.
As far as community MRSA--back in the day the drug sensitivity was somewhat different between community and Hospital acquired MRSA. Is that still the case? (I've seen penicillin sensitive SA a couple of times--an heirloom variety.)

Welp that's just in time to not affect us. Anyway, good news for some.

The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 has been undergoing mutations and is highly glycosylated.

Actually, in a way, I really wish we could do all those things without some people wilding out and others being traumatized. At the same time, I get that people will wild out and others will be traumatized, and I get that with this many humans and this level of industrialization, we have to do some of this stuff if we want some basic peace and prosperity....and it’s sad to lose some of the beautiful wildness of our species, but I blame population explosion more than I feel like my freedom has been stolen.
It’s weird. On some level I think we need way fewer people so that it’s more feasible for more of us to live more expansive free lives...but I guess I’d like to see that population contraction happen in a humane and reasonable way...like people having one or zero kids.
None of this us going to happen though, because idiocracy.

For those wondering how China knocked their cases down to near nothing and "WhY CAn'T WE dO tHe SaME?!", check this out. Apparently an airline worker tested positive, so they attempted to round everyone in the massive Shanghai airport up and lead them to the basement for what people were fearing would be forced quarantine. Watch this and tell me Americans would put up with this. Even the Chinese are like "uhh, NOPE!"

Hang in there HTFB.
Meanwhile....
Tens of thousands of prison and jail inmates, including convicted serial killers and notorious inmates like Scott Peterson, have carried out what prosecutors described Tuesday as possibly the largest fraud scheme in California history.
The alleged crimes, which center on pandemic unemployment benefits, could total as much as $1 billion, Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said.

Again, as I wrote before, my sister’s city in China took temperatures coming and going from everywhere, markets, apartment buildings, factories, offices. If you did anything but stay at home you were being screened.
That’s how they beat it.
We could choose to do this, if “we” weren’t 40% retarded....and actually, speaking of the retarded, I don’t even mean retarded, because I’d rather be around 10 mentally retarded people right now than 1 MAGA anti-masker, because the developmentally-disabled people I see all the time just wear their mask and wash their hands because they’re not on some bizarre death-cult mission to prove their fealty to facebook and AM radio. .

Here's a real life scenario on why temp scanning isn't effective:
I am on my last day of isolation for actually having the virus. I had a high temperature for about 3 hours on day two of symptoms. But according to science I was "Shedding" and able to infect other people for 14 days. Also, my normal temp runs pretty low, like 97ºF so for me to be in the 99-100 range that a scanner would be looking for, I would have a long way to go before I would set off alarm bells.

Any particular measure, like temp scanning, doesn’t need to be 100% perfect in order to mitigate a pandemic.
Meanwhile....
A rushed cull of Denmark’s minks owing to concerns about a coronavirus mutation has left the country facing a further horror, as bodies of the animals re-emerge from the earth
The carcasses rose to the surface because of pressure from gases released by the decomposition, according to local police.
The environment ministry said mink should be covered by at least 150cm (5ft) of earth. However, they were only buried under 100cm in the field outside Holstebro
