Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Legal to carry, and legal to speak

Miami Dade had 3300+ cases reported Friday. Hopefully the new measures work

 

And the only people who repeatedly decline to follow empirical evidence contrary to their hardened contrary personal opinions or inaccurate reporting are fools. And on the midst of this pandemic, fools who are dangerous to others insofar as they support the equally ignorant. The misuse of raw numbers in this thread to reach unsupported and unsupportable statistical conclusions would be laughable it that level of ignorance wasn’t so dangerous. The unwillingness of people to wear masks and distance and the too early openings and leaving things open are the major contributors to the increasing death rate and over 1000 cases a day. And those of us who were insulted and mocked for saying this would happen and that our course should have been that which was follows in countries that got the first wave under control really can point the finger at the irresponsible and their enablers. Sick or not, you give each other and the bad leadership the support to act recklessly.

 

The mayor of Miami wants people to wear masks and distance in their homes if they go out to work etc. because of the spread among families they are seeing.

 

Makes one wonder how the carrier feels when their reckless choices end up infecting their own family

They switch over to "mother nature can't be stopped".

 

But can't tell you why mother nature only impacts countries full of selfish idiots

 

Sometimes it isn’t a reckless choice. Sometimes the carrier needs to work and they get sick even making the best choices. It is just statistical.

 

Mother nature hates FREEEEEEEDOM!!!

 

He's 79 years old, don't be a tool.

 

This list didn't even my favorite. The bridge over Salt River Canyon on the road between Globe and Show Low. Beautiful Canyon scenery, and if you head south towards Globe, you go into high desert. North towards Show Low and you end up in pine county at about 7000 feet above sea level.

Speaking of Arizona, bad day with the numbers yesterday. Over 3,700 new cases and 144 deaths. Most days this week were under 3,000 cases and 100 deaths, so hopefully yesterday was just an outlier.

 

I have a difficult time blaming grocery store employees for fearing for their lives from violent confrontation. Many people not wearing masks in public are ignorant, looking for a fight and/or pre-disposed to violence.

Agreed. I guess it is reckless choices by others that results is such higher than necessary chances of exposure. Poor choice of words on my behalf. Frustration level is high for me right now. Mom's ILF is not testing any asym residents yet even though they had two employees that work in her building test positive

 

This is the bridge over the Salt River. There's actually two. The original on the right in this photo is now used for pedestrians and there's an observation deck on the bottom of this photo that is hidden by the trees. And as big as the canyon looks in this photo, it still doesn't quite capture the size and depth you see when you drive it, since the bridge is near the bottom of the canyon, and you have to drive down into it and back up out of it whichever way you go.

 

Confluence of the Eklutna River (snow melt river) and the Knik River (glacial melt river) between Anchorage and Palmer. The state releases hatchery raised salmon in the Eklutna that return 3 - 4 years later and as a strictly hatchery fed fishery it is always open for harvest. If you look at the river you can see the line between the glacial water and the snow melt feed from the Eklutna. Lots of locals fish here for kings or silvers depending on what is running. Build fires to help stay warm and to help keep mosquitos away. Lot of moose in this area too. We fished here 3x and never got our kings this year. fish pic is from years back at same spot and typical of the kings caught there.

 

Nice.

did you feel the earthquake there?

 

we left July 4th. just posting a pic per day from our trip to help break up the negative news around here but family up there did feel the quake

The “Karen” reference bugs me. Gives the name a bad name. And stereotypes idiots, who come in all flavors
