Florida man, florida man, does whatever a florida man does. Is he smart? no he's not. Watch out, there goes flordia man.

Ordering your deputies not to wear masks and any visitors to take them off. Claiming the office has had no spikes (notice how he said spikes and not actual infections, which makes me think he's not being forthcoming there), while their jail has at leat 200 sick inmates and 36 cops, and they lost a nurse. It's downright criminal that he's allowed to do this.

Could you cite the study?.I had heard from family who is head of respitory unit the opposite early on. The numbers from their unit showed smokers less likely to need a ventilator. This was during initial outbreak weeks in US

so much #winning!

Some interesting tidbit from Germany: our cases have been going up in recent weeks, and continued to go up last week and this week. However, the RKI, our federal government agency for infectious diseases (analogous to the CDC), has shown the positive rate of our tests to have stalled at 1%, which is where it also was the week before.

So for at least the past 7 days, in spite of raw case numbers continuing to go up, the spike in cases can be explained by increased testing rather than an acceleration of the underyling infection rates. This makes sense since testing was recently made mandatory for all vacationers who are returning from a country or region labeled as high risk (like, for example, the US or parts of Spain).

God I'd hate to see what Canadian government would do if we had case numbers of daily numbers usa has were getting 200 to 500 all across Canada and were in mass panic mode..

Yeah. Our preventative measures in most provinces are far more adhered to than individual states. It's strict and many disagree but law enforcement did their job in most provinces to ensure those that need to act as if they're above everyone else are fined.

It's been an inconvenience travel wise but everything else has been relatively normal with the exception of having to make a home gym.

What's going go be interesting is seeing how many of the false CERB claims are caught and how much they face in penalty and interest. There's been a significant amount of false claims in my little circle, I can't imagine the total across Canada.

If CAN had this many infections they would shut down the country and protect their citizens and come up with a plan to get the economy back open.
CAN would never be in this disaster.
