    What does that have to do with what you quoted?

    Another thing that's the right thing to do, but becuase you all think Trump had something to do with it you will all bitch and moan regardless

    Yeah... That has nothing to do with what you quoted, either.

    Meanwhile in Australia:

    "Coronavirus Australia live updates: Victoria records biggest case surge ever"

    A measly 317 cases in one day is a "surge"

    Split into BMI above and below 30 ;)


    I laughed at this one "Aurea later confirmed with workers at the park that her swimsuit was fine to wear."

    Asked a couple landscapers: Is my bikini ok?....hmmm let's have a look, what do you think Trevor?...yep looks fine to me Rod

    Lolz


    Teenagers are dressing up as mask-wearing grandmas to try to score alcohol

    In a pandemic, no one knows you’re underage.

    That’s what Gen Z has discovered as they’ve updated the fake ID for the COVID-19 era, hitting up liquor stores dressed as elderly grandmas wearing coronavirus face masks.

    The “prank” has taken social media platform TikTok by storm, with videos of users bedecked as boozehound nannas – seemingly victorious, bottles in hand – racking up millions of views

    I agree 317 cases isn't much of a surge, here's an example of a real surge...............

    Florida surpassed 300,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University. The state has seen a surge of infections in recent weeks
    and now sits behind only California and New York in the number of confirmed cases it's reported.


    Health officials reported an additional 10,181 new confirmed cases Wednesday.


    Florida took more than three months to reach 100,000 coronavirus cases but then took just two weeks to jump from 100,000 to 200,000.

    The number of cases per day drops from 15k to 10k, so they go for a dramatic sounding total ;)

    Only 1000 deaths in the same time frame from 100,000 to 300,000 cases. Putting the mortality rate over 90% lower than it was in NY

    I've got a suspect feeling on the validity of over 10,000 tests done per day in one area.

    Where are the mass line ups? Where is the traffic coming to a stand still of vehicles with people needing to be checked? Where are the facebook posts of disgruntled social media members having to wait presumably hours to have a test done?

    I think more realistically the news room meeting

    "what are we gonna tell em today folks?"
    "I think 10,000 is a good solid round number that will catch people's attention"
    "run the story!"

    Meanwhile Nintendo release a new gaming system that sells less than 10,000 nationwide and we're subjected to videos and photos of the lineups outside Best Buy lol.

    I didn't read it/didn't know there were significant side-effects. Their stock went up though. LOL

    The Company is based in Cambridge Massachusetts so hope they do well, but like i said before "keep me away from any clinical trials", or for that matter
    the first round of vaccinations, until its proven effective throughout the population.

    They initially said another 18 months and I think that was in March, so figure by next autumn. :)
