Dr John explains why:

Hope he’s right. But 13 sailors from the USS Abraham Lincoln recovered from CV19, were tested clear multiple times, returned to duty ... and have now fallen ill a second time. More to learn here.

There’s all kind of new information coming out. They said people who test positive again after recovering aren’t contagious. Now the CDC says the virus doesn’t spread easily on surfaces.

As I been sayin for couple months: there’s more angles to this than are scrawled on Pythagorus’ cocktail napkin. You DO remember me sayin that, right Mike?

Indeed you did. They’re so much they don’t know. I saw an article from Bloomberg that said there wasn’t a huge difference in infection rate or mortality (can’t remember which) between countries that locked down and those that didn’t impose strict restrictions.

Now he's asking for more money but hasn't detailed where it will be spent, nor has he detailed where he's been spending the other money from the coffer.

They probably aren’t happy with the $1 billion china mask purchase.

This week, hairdressers, barbers and other beauty professionals were given a better idea about what’s to come. On Monday, Newsom announced that more California communities could slowly begin to reopen as the state loosens its stay-at-home order.

“I’m confused,” Wilcox said. “Some people say it’s July, and some people are saying it could be as long as early September, which would be a nightmare.”

When they open, barbershops and salons won’t return to normalcy. They likely will restart with changes. There will be stricter limits on the size of gatherings and social distancing measures. Shops and salons, often doubling as social and therapeutic spaces, will function differently. The measures will dent bottom lines.

What’s the future for California salons and barbershops? Hairstylists worry and wait:

I may get what some refer to as a "underground" haircut...….a barber/stylist that comes to your location and cuts your hair in a garage or backyard/patio.

Here's something to ponder before rushing to be the first person back at your office building or gym.

After Coronavirus, Office Workers Might Face Unexpected Health Threats
Stagnant plumbing systems in emptied commercial buildings could put returning employees at risk of Legionnaires’ and other illnesses

When you finally return to work after the lockdown, coronavirus might not be the only illness you need to worry about contracting at the office.

Office buildings once filled with employees emptied out in many cities and states as shelter-in-place orders were issued. These structures, normally in constant use, have been closed off and shut down, and health risks might be accumulating in unseen ways.

“The buildings aren’t designed to be left alone for months,” said Andrew Whelton, an associate professor of civil, environmental and ecological engineering at Purdue University.

Dr. Whelton, other researchers and public health authorities have issued warnings about the plumbing in these buildings, where water may have gone stagnant in the pipes or even in individual taps and toilets. As lockdowns are lifted, bacteria that build up internally may cause health problems for returning workers if the problem is not properly addressed by facilities managers. Employees and guests at hotels, gyms and other kinds of buildings may also be at risk.

The biggest worry is Legionella pneumophila. The bacteria can cause Legionnaires’ disease, a respiratory condition. It leads to death in about one in 10 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine estimates that over 52,000 Americans suffer from the disease each year.

A single small outbreak can sicken many people. During the water crisis that started in Flint, Mich., in 2014 after the city changed its water source and officials failed to inform the public of water quality problems, many people became sick. The crisis was linked to the deaths of 12 people from Legionnaires’ disease.

.

Unfortunately many of the public health officials who would normally be tackling these issues and getting information out are currently focused on responding to the spread of the coronavirus.

“Health officials are overstretched and have conflicting information,” said David Dyjack, executive director of the National Environmental Health Association. “Health officials simply cannot keep up. Public health is being asked to do things it’s never had to do before.”

Even if only a small portion of buildings have problems, with so many reopening at once, the researchers fear there will be more outbreaks than usual.

“Not every building will have issues but based on what we know, enough of them probably will,” Dr. Proctor said.

Ah yes, legionnaire disease. Rats and other vermin have probably taken up residence, as well as Bigfoot and the chupacabra. Geez the media loves to instill fear.

I wonder if they have a disaster dartboard to conjure up more death and destruction scenarios.

Where did you read that? I’d like to read it too.

Today he met with the studio heads and strongly implied restrictions were soon to be lifted for them. Are they essential? Or are they big donors who are threatening him so God Newsome is releasing them but not the hair stylist who’s trying to make rent. He’s a disgusting person

You have to have entertainment to keep the rabble in line.
