Meanwhile in Arizona the governor is saying that cases are flattening and progress is being made because some days there are “only” 3,000 new cases instead of 4,000 new cases. At the same time refridgerated trucks are being shipped in as morgues are at like 98% capacity. Governor Ducey did limit indoor restaurant capacity to 50% 😞

Florida 15,300 new cases. I believe that beats out New York states max day. Florida had over 500 Covid deaths in the last week.

The parkland diner by my work has been pretty busy and their average customer is like 81. Doesn’t seem worth it but good job security for me.

Yes they are it’s a requirement for the entire state of PA in public indoor places and anywhere outside where social distancing is not possible. I have not been anywhere where employees weren’t wearing masks..at least as a chinstrap lol

It’s not worth them getting shutdown or fined over. I know it’s hot for cooks to wear a mask for an 8 hour shift....

Take it to the food thread.

Pocono pizza

That will be the trend in the coming weeks here in PA at bars, restaurants and then schools.

Many people are stubborn or have ants in their pants. They want to do the same things they did before. Now cruise company CEOs are saying cruise ships can be very safe because its a controlled environment..ok boomer.

These are awesome....

Also there’s a 14 day quarentine for people from Pennsylvania traveling back from Delaware. It does not apply to commuters like @Zonked Rehoboth originally required masks on the beach but bookings were down so now just indoors and on the boardwalk.

Bars in Las Vegas have been told to shut down. A lot of casino workers have contracted Covid-19 but its hasn’t stopped many tourists from traveling to sin city.

Another 10,000 plus new cases in Florida and 95 new deaths. Probably way higher but the state can only process about 60,000 tests daily. Arizona’s numbers are also way higher but that state can only process about 16,000 tests daily.

Well the original guidelines to go from red to yellow was 50 or less positive cases per 100,000 people for a 14 day period so for a county like Lehigh with 300,000 people it would be 150 new cases for 14 days or about 10-11 per day. That was unattainable and due to a lot of pressure the governor relaxed those guidelines. I have heard that future restrictions will be left up to county leaders like when Pittsburgh shut the bars back down. Although we are in green where most of the state stands right now puts us in Orange.

Stay at home order again in Atlanta. Back to phase one there.

You’re 100% right. I talk to customers in Florida every week and the older folks are terrified. Instead of spending a half hour to an hour with families in the office I’m spending a similar amount of time on the phone and walking them through options off our website, a common question for me is,”how are things where you are”. In terms of seriousness here’s my unofficial ranking from most serious to least. Most serious... NYC until real recently, NJ(still no inside dining), Massachusetts serious, PA semi serious, Midwest to the Rockies pretty serious...Georgia Florida not serious until very recently.

I don’t care what kind of masks people wear. I’ve never used the disposable medical style masks...I have homemade one my mom gave me, an N95 I’ve never used and two Hawaiian Tommy bahana looking masks. I’m talking about people using masks as chin guards or below nostrils. What’s the point.

Correct. Another one. I didn’t take it. You will never see me with a mask like this either on my face or off it

Oh Lordy..I don’t know why that bugs me so much...as I drive around smoking weed i think,”why can’t people just follow the rules”

People think the national coin shortage is a conspiracy theory while I’m wondering why this lady is wearing her mask like a muppet.

What about Link from Encino Man...

Can you post a link to this??

County by county numbers and according to state rep, todays cases were high because 175 dditional results are not from the last 24 hours they were an influx of private lab results. Also 18,600 tests in the state which I believe is a record so positivity still around 5%. In the hot states like Florida, Texas and Arizona positivity is 15-25+ %

I can bring lunchbox sized bags of chips...Root doesn’t like Doritos. @saltyant you’re gonna have to stand six feet away from me when I’m debooting.
