    Back in April, it became clear that Florida was intentionally hiding a list of daily deaths that had previously been compiled by county medical examiners. Since that time, those examiners, as well as hospitals and local officials, have complained that the number of COVID-19 deaths being reported in Governor Ron DeSantis regular updates, doesn’t match what they’re seeing in their areas. Last week, the scientist behind Florida’s COVID-19 dashboard was fired after she says she refused to alter numbers as she was told.

    With 52,600 confirmed cases of COVID-19, Florida is in the top ten states when it comes to infections. But the 2,300 recorded deaths is less than half of those from Michigan, a state with a similar number of cases. Considering the number of elderly residents and retirement communities, Florida’s relatively light death toll seemed somewhat miraculous, and DeSantis has been bragging both about the “success” of his policies and sneering at pundits that warned of potential disaster from his refusal to enforce social distancing guidelines.

    Disappointing. If I could, I would immediately revoke any CARE act funds he received and I would also prevent him from receiving any medical care related to Covid.

    I cant read the article. Where is the Texas bar located? Local doctors, nurses, contact tracers, etc... should feel free to post negative reviews on the businesses Google & Yelp profiles.

    Seems like a stunt to get attention and pull in every sh$t kicking redneck in central TX. In Elgin it probably works, but this place would be put on blast if they did this on Rainy street or even 6th street. Obviously it's a bar and people will have to take their masks off to drink liquids into their mouths. Banning masks serves no purpose but to get attention to draw in Trumpers.

    Yeah, it's a gimmick. Good sausage in that town, though.

    CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. — Remember that Lake of the Ozarks crowd over the Memorial Day Weekend? One of the people who was there later tested positive for COVID-19 according to the Camden County Health Department.

    The Health Department says this person was possibly infectious and likely incubating the illness at the time they were at the lake.

    • Backwater Jacks: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
    • Shady Gators and Lazy Gators Pool: 5:40 p.m. – 9 p.m.

    I am really worried about that with all of the protesting and everything going on we will see a spike in COVID 19. I'm worried about myself personally. I've been wearing a mask and during the protest / riot at the 3rd Precinct wore a respirator. That said social distance has been impossible. This is one situation where had to weigh doing something to help my city versus the continued danger of COVID-19. When this is over I'm going to have to be very careful and might self-isolate for two weeks.

    This is my concern. COVID did not suddenly disappear.

    Mooting Corona Cases Before They Reach the Supreme Court
    Blue states played "keep-away" with Free Exercise and Second Amendment cases on the shadow docket:

    https://reason.com/2020/06/03/mooting-corona-cases-before-they-reach-the-supreme-court/

    excerpt:

    This week, we have witnessed peaceful demonstrations of similar sizes throughout the country. Most–but not all–of the peaceful demonstrators were allowed to assemble. Most–but not all–were wearing masks. And at least in my hometown, people were given permission to march on highways, public streets, and gather at City Hall.

    Why were governors and mayors willing to let thousands of people demonstrate today, but were not willing to let hundreds of people assemble in a church a few weeks ago. For sure, you can argue that ventilation is better outside. But that argument only works to a point. The Surgeon General warned that the outdoor protests may yield outbreaks of Corona.

    I see a different reason why mayors and governors allowed protestors to assemble without social distancing, but religious parishioners were forbidden to assemble even with social distancing: the officials viewed in-person protests as "essential," but in-person religious service as "non-essential." Judge Sutton stated the issue concisely:
    Governors labelled a constitutionally enumerated right, which was subject to the whims of an eleventh-hour change, as non-essential. They did not think prayer was life-sustaining or soul-sustaining. Do it on Zoom! But we know they labelled demonstrations as essential. That cannot be done on Zoom! They also labelled mundane commercial activities, which were open from day-one, as essential, even where the risk of spread was high. This dichotomy warrants constitutional scrutiny under Smith, as well as Masterpiece Cakeshop. Arguing about whether certain facilities are "comparable" or not is the wrong frame.​

    There's no need to worry about an increase in Covid. You need to prepare for the absolute increase in covid that is coming.
