COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Do they feel ok? Sucks they’re positive but have they been able to weather it ok? Hoping none of them have been hospitalized or worse

Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
Doubt it but possible. People generally wear masks everywhere here. And a lot of people know someone who died or at the very least had it and have been told they “wouldn’t wish it on their worst enemy”. I’m not saying we’ve handled it better but we definitely have taken it more serious than Texas has. Think ny will look more like the euros until the weather turns cold and then it’ll be a shitstorm again. And not much we’ll be able to do about it then other than just taking it. edit: also we never stopped riding the subway so not sure what you mean

Cool. Since people always watch sports sober.

Yeah... disagree. Protests are about a show of solidarity in the vicinity of others while sports events for the audience involve communal celebration but don’t necessitate it. You can protest with a little bit of distance, mask on, and sober while being “safe”. but an audience at a major sporting event would mean drinking, possible frequent removal of masks or having them off, and limited distancing. And any drinking will lead to bad behaviors very easily. would be for having sports with no audience if we can figure out how to keep the players and their families CoVID free and socially healthy.

Is there a graph/link to that data that it’s youngs? Or young’s protesting? Thought it was too early to see that correlation to the protests. But if you have it, would love for you to be right since hospitals are looking good for now. And thank you for the daily-ish Austin charts, they have been very informative.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
And bc we closed down the first wave was delayed, you opened up too early and now you will use all that extra space unfortunately to deal with the “grim shit”.

CR: COVID-19 --Political Talk
Yes, we are trying to open up safely. We had to close down until we could but we are slowly opening up safely (admittedly relatively considering this is a novel virus). We will close down if we need to. Can Texas or Florida say the same?

No, we are no where near herd immunity here. What’s your basis for column b?

That NY is doing it correctly now And everyone else could be shutting down but instead chooses for grandma to die, for better or for worse. NYC was caught with our pants down for a variety of reasons, but there are still plenty of people for the virus to kill here, isn’t ny state at like 20% for herd immunity?

Texas Re-Opening Announced
I don't think you will see the same thing in NY. Least not in the summer and still too early to tell what the fall will bring in each area. Aside from the street drinking, the majority of people here wear masks almost all the time. Now, the street drinking might override that all even though it is mostly the youngs doing it, but I'm willing to bet/hope that it doesn't.

2019 Body Transformation Thread
Congrats, keep it up. Doing the work is tough but damn, it feels good fitting into the clothes you want to fit into. I'm about to hit my target weight, and while I don't have the flat abs/8pack/"Seriously, It's like you're photoshopped?!" I thought I'd have at this weight, I'm happy with the work I put in. Now I'm going to work on slowly NOT cutting calories and trying to maintain the level i'm at. Using those apps to track what i eat and over the next couple weeks going to increase it from lose 2 lbs to maintain over the next 2-3 weeks. I feel like a smoker who says "i'm great at quitting, i've done it a thousand times!" I can lose the weight and have a number of times (although not to the level I'm at now) but never really been good at maintaining. My goal now is to maintain this level of eating (not dieting) and exercise through the rest of summer as practice for football season when Saturdays wreck my shit. Then correct what ever needs correcting next Feb, as soon as Super Bowl Sunday is over.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
This thread moved fast while I was busy and caught up on others before this one, so responding to this b/c it was the last thing i read on here way back... Monday. Jesus, Covid fucks with time. Anyway, the chick who threw it at an occupied car is definitely guilty of attempted murder but thats not the chick. My buddy's ex is Urooj. Supposedly the last girl he seriously dated before going on a Tinder tear these last few years. Pretty sure it was his college sweet heart. It'll be a minute before I go through pages 55-94, so not gonna be able to respond immediately if there is other stuff after.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
No, but i can understand people in the last 48 hours thinking he was a racist and acting accordingly. Honestly I don’t agree with them but I haven’t read Zinn in decades so my memory is fuzzy.

Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
Aren’t there like a shit ton of quotes showing Lincoln as a racist but only doing emancipation as a hindrance to the south? Or is that too much People’s History and incorrect?
-
Minneapolis Cop Murders A Black Man
Fuck them. I know people who dated her. Fuck the police. All bad cops need to be tried, judged, and sentenced as traitors to the constitution.

I think I may have Covid-19 thread - 2 confirmed cases
cross posting from the DT thread, took the antibody and CoVid tests on 5/24 in the morning, got the results yesterday. Negative on both. Sucks. They took a whole vial and the gf's father's test from a few weeks ago was also a vial and not just a finger prick.
