Everything is not going to be under 10 feet of water. Get real. This situation is bad enough without your completely unnecessary exaggerations.

Shut up. Some of us have loved ones there and don't need any of your Debi downer bullshit.

Had to look twice to make sure that wasn't my oldest. He's a pro trumpet player. He has been a bit frazzled over the last year and a half. Thought for a second or two, he might have gone down to the quarter and expressed himself. Not him. He is hunkered down.

Oldest son lives a few blocks north of St. Charles cross Street at Jackson. He decided to stay. According to maps and locals they got about 2-3' of water for Katrina. More concerned about level of preparedness. Not sure he is ready for 3 weeks without power.

AISD's (and other districts) Plans for Schools Starting August 18
The curve is kind of sort of flattening if you look at it just right and hold your phone sideways. That's all I got.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Houston?
Went there on Monday nights back in 91 and 92. Good specials and Ed Gerlach's big band would play. Damn I would get drunk. CPA work was no fun the next day.

New screwball reporting. Not sure why they can't do it everyday. Some other states do the same. Go figure.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
I'll also ask again, what is going on with Florida's death from Covid numbers? They are churning out in excess of 20,000 new cases/day and their death rate has plummeted from a high of 170/day two weeks ago to a 7 day MA <20/day with nothing over 10 this week. Their death rate is at lowest since the pandemic started and their case number are still at all time highs. Worldometer. From the Herald, but that just does not seem to explain the sudden change. Seems like FLorida bullshit to me: On Aug. 10, the CDC changed the way it reported new cases and deaths in Florida. Cases and deaths used to be logged as total new cases reported on a single day. Now, Florida is reporting cases by the “case date,” according to the CDC rather than the date the case was logged into the system. The result of this change is a lag in cases by date and a significant number of cases backfilling over time. The Herald will continue to report numbers based on the difference in total cases from one day to the next, as this is consistent with the way data have been presented in daily stories since the beginning of the pandemic. The Herald will report deaths the same way, after pulling the raw data from the CDC website. As a result, the “new cases” and “new deaths” listed on the CDC site for any given day may be different than numbers published by the Herald for the same day. According to a statement from CDC spokesperson Jasmine Reed on Aug. 18: “Florida’s aggregate case and death data includes case date for cases and date of death for deaths. The method applies to data shared by Florida and to data displayed on COVID Data Tracker. Other States also use this reporting method and states can vary in the reporting method. For example, data as of the date that states submit may be the date that a state received its data from its reporting entities, or it might be another dating method that the state prefers.” DOH spokesperson Weesam Khoury said Florida’s new reporting system “will ensure that continuous epidemiological analyses provide the most updated data to the public.” Neither agency provided further explanation of how a “case date” is assigned to each new case.

My Climbing gym had the scanner at the front. I never once even registered above 97.5, but then again I never had Covid either. It was not a cheap scanner either. I think they just set it for "open for business". Back then they were were pretty strict with 100% mask mandate and limited by appointment only 2 hour time slots.

Running Alt-Right Thread of Mockery and Hypocrisy
His stuff was really funny. His yoga stuff looks like it comes from years of experience. I always just figured he was poking fun at himself with some overthetopness. Then, it got weird.

They don't. But one death reported yesterday.

What the hell is going on with Florida Covid reporting? Their daily deaths are on an almost vertical decline. I expect some wonkiness from the weekend reporting, but their curve just does not look right(Worldometer) Their daily case and death reporting was almost non existent over the weekend. Are they getting out of the woods, are they too overburdened to report correctly, or is there some whitewashing going on? Anybody hear anything on this?

I was gonna say, maybe alcohol enabling isn't the best idea right now. As I type this, I am drinking a Shiner. But seriously, it is one thing to have a few, and another to get really drunk and be worthless the next day. No judgment, I just think we all might feel better if we didn't let go just yet. If we are still here in a couple of weeks, then a reevaluation may be in order. Vince was down 12 with 4 minutes to go and he pulled it out. Hang on a little bit longer and you will be richly rewarded with Surly $ and rep points.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Man on the street: Went by Central Market Westgate yesterday evening and there were no masking signs up at any of the doors I saw, not even the "mask recommended" type. Mask wearing was at about 50% in the store-non employee. They had a big band playing in the cafe for the olds, but it was pretty dead in there compared to a couple of weeks ago. Austin is bad right now and people are not getting the message.
