That's quite true. How receptive is your employer WRT adding safety measures? Not that I have any ideas for your, but I'm sure you are seeing some good and bad applications as you work.

I mean they've implemented some measures like social distancing, making cleaning supplies available, wearing masks etc. but realistically there's only so much they can do. I mean it's packing boxes into small containers to be put onto cramped aircraft.

I am frustrated with the lack of information given though. I understand HIPAA concerns and all but not even giving information on what work area the employee was in was frustrating. I eventually got some info of where the employee worked and found out it was possible I had contact with them. Going to figure out if I need to go get tested or not.

Sucks I had to drop out of reffing a soccer game tomorrow (a match in our local UPSL conference who has done a great job implementing safety measures), doubly so for the assignor who had >24 hours to find a replacement (not easy for a league 90% of our referees can't officiate in), but I'm not gonna be the reason the season was cancelled.
 
As much as Florida gets mocked (by many) I really fear for them right now. According to the dashboards, there are only ~1400 open ICU beds right now, and of 307 hospitals in Florida, 254 of them have less than 10 spaces left.

Does anyone know if they've created any emergency centers like were in New York and Detroit?

Big market for the devices that my company made for a few months- although I thought I heard a rumor that nobody is ordering anymore ventilators.

I honestly hope it doesn't get really ugly, but it sure looks like it may.

Dan Crenshaw says "don't worry about it."

(Yeah, yeah, I know TX vs FL, but they're both in the same boat.)
 
I feel zero sympathy for Flo(R)ida. Flo(R)idians mocked the Blue States when they were dealing with it, they whined about funding any recovery or unemployment and they had months to prepare based on what other countries and other states did and ignored all of it. Not just the Rednecks, not just the Trumpers, everyone. They flocked to beaches knowing it wasnt safe, they flouted experts about wearing masks, the broke social distancing guidelines at bars and restaurants...and even NOW they are still acting that way. Sorry but I am all out of phucks to give.

I mean it is the end of June...this disease has been around for how many months in the US? This isnt some new thing they just didnt care because they ignored science and listened to a bunch of Republicans who told them what they wanted to hear. (and what was best for business) Sorry but...if they want to let Jesus take the wheel that is fine by me at this point. The smart ones knew the score and played it safe.

Interesting he didn’t say that...

What part of what he said was inaccurate?

Is he lying about the Houston hospital situation and capacity? Is he lying about the number of Houstonians in the hospital because of Covid? Is he lying about the ICU beds? Please do inform.

and of course StayHomeStaySafe. And wear your Face Diaper incase your pet has Covid.
 
New York and New Jersey are 35% of all Covid Deaths. Wow.

are hospitalizations and deaths going up or down across the country?

I know but still. When even Dick Cheney has more sense than you perhaps it is time to reassess your life.

He shared the current state of the Houston hospital situation and available beds. Please point out what he lied about and share the correct info.

For Flo(R)idians, sure. But many of the cases are Hispanic farm workers, who are treated really, really badly. I VERY much feel bad for them- according to Florida, a known 1/3 of all cases are Hispanic, and then quite a few are unknown WRT that.

If this was going after rich and stupid R's, that would be one thing- but its going more for minorities and the poor. Sure, some of which thinks this is a hoax. But I don't think most of them are.

Florida has one of the lower death rates in the country since this started. And they have the 2nd oldest population in the Country.

It wasn't that far back that the entire country had fewer cases in 1 day than FL the past 3.
 
Jeb2020, is there something you'd like to share with the class? Or are you just filling the void we've had in the "just asking questions" department ever since joecct decided he couldn't converse with the adults?
