Hauling! Is that outside Alburtis?

You can still trust the numbers. People need to realize that there has been a national testing fuckup since the beginning so getting numbers on time and reporting is going to be challenge.

I read 476 without Philly.

Holy fuck that’s a record for any state.

Indoor dining has been a disaster in so many places.

I would have left.

Bike helmets.

There should be less restrictions on weed and more on maskless idiots.

Lots of question marks and we probably won't know for a while, but at this rate, things are going to get shitty again - and fast. Our parking lot sausage fest will definitely be different and I don't think we will all be putting our hands into @mute1080's balls or @JFskiDan's chips anytime soon.

source?

Wouldn't that require them to actually be good?

Ok. Maybe it came from a space turd dropped by an alien who was listening to U2.

That just says that it is a possibility. Anything is a possibility. Like I said before, at this point there is nothing that points to that other than conspiracy theories.

Berry harvest from tonight.

Not sure on that and I honestly haven't read anything about it either (other than briefly discussed in some publications). Many people in that region live in less than sanitary environments and culturally they eat almost anything so I guess both could be possible? That might be something that we never truly know.

100% it came from somewhere in or around China based on tracing that has been done and likely that it was transmitted bat-human or bat-(other animal)-human. If it was plausible that it originated in a lab, then it would be reported on by legitimate peer-reviewed scientific journals. At this point there is nothing that points to that other than conspiracy theories. Some interesting reads here and in the cited references: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0820-9 https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/05/scientists-exactly-zero-evidence-covid-19-came-lab I don't know if beauty is the best word choice. I'd like to know sooner than later, but I know it took 10+ years for SARS and not nearly as long for ebola tracing.

Gloves often give a false sense of safety. Better off just washing hands often unless you are changing your gloves between everything you touch.

A full ICU is a full ICU regardless of the amount of COVID patients admitted. The point is that there are not enough surge beds if critical COVID cases are admitted. If an ICU is full, that leaves less bed availability for critical COVID and any other medical issue that requires critical care. Increasing numbers of cases leads to increasing need for medical care and strain on health systems.

The Allentown Fair has been cancelled. Doug will have to parking lot pimp at his hotelhouse instead.

Not a bad place to spend the night. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/south-africa-kruger-shalati-train-on-the-bridge/index.html?fbclid=IwAR2iZK92PAK4_MdCRPdSPOYw-n-IqJ7lx26wRAscsYGCMwapmkUfrkJ5MM0

What a fucking failure.
