One of my Wisconsin members claims being told to wear a mask at work violates his 4th amendment rights. Yes, my members are constitutional scholars.*

*Actually they're idiots who don't understand the first principles of unionism and collective action and many are too stupid to even begin to know what they do not know.

"JUST IN: Journalist covering Trump trip to Florida tests positive for coronavirus"

“JUST IN: Just days after covering President Trump's visit to Florida last week, a member of the press tested positive for COVID-19. According to reports, the journalist was in a crowded room with the president and was in close proximity to dozens of members of the press as well as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and other lawmakers.”

Send them home to remind them that it does not. This isn't hard.

Remind them the plethora of laws that keep people healthy- air and water pollution, work safety, crash safety, etc- that are exactly what mask mandates are.

At least one was sent home, no pay, unexcused absence. Rumors that I have yet to confirm are some people have actually quit over this. This is in a plant with lots of welding going on so they spend a portion of the day with their entire heads covered anyway (when welding they do not need to have any additional face coverings on, just their required PPE). These are decent paying jobs with decent benefits. And yet some are dumb enough to quit over something like this? Those people cannot be reached with appeals to the logic of wearing a mask, nor even to the obligation that the employer is under due to the mandate set forth by the governor. In other words they are every bit like the typical republican or trump supporter -- completely lost, unreasonable babies and a waste of anyone's time to try to reason with.

Let's put #COVID19 into some historical context and try to give it some perspective

Thanks to @BallouxFrancois, who pointed out that COVID is most similar to the 1957 Asian Flu Pandemic, I did some research

It made me realize how completely unremarkable this whole crisis is

People sure are spending money in my town. It's like the virus doesn't exist.

If it weren't for the governor's orders limiting capacity, every place in town would be packed full.

Let's look at the numbers IFR: -1957 Flu: 0.67% -SARC CoV-2: 0.65% (CDC number) In terms of deaths/1M UK looks about the same If you use an estimate of 220K final death toll for US it looks the same World statistics are going to look different unless Asia joins the party

I'm curious to see what happens come September once the weather turns and many areas lose the ability to have outdoor seating... I would think that they should be screaming like hell to get people on board now instead of ignoring the mask mandates...

Forcing this open isn't going to make this better. What IS going to happen is that people will see infections getting worse, people dying- and they will keep not spending money. Seems like the backlash for rushing is going to be worse than doing it right.

“Forcing” open. Lmao.

Lockdown and social distancing could make our immune system weaker, says scientist

Ear muff up, goggle up, mask up do whatever you have to do and hide under your bed If you want to.

Something that is not happening. People are NOT thinking. Had a family member message me today asking my opinion re whether the kid should return to University or not. I laid out all the stuff I knew. GOt a comment back- I don't see how that will work. Yup. Why are the schools presenting it like they are going to be successful. As a parent it is tough to talk about it to the kid. $$.

Our schools here have delayed opening. In the last couple of days our numbers are going up and there are stories of failures. I would not want to be teaching in a kid school. I keep saying people should have a pool for when tey get their first case- if they can make it past day 1.
