Same like being hit by a speeding train ... Technically the train doesn't kill you ...
I haven’t touched my parents or my in laws in months. They actually go out more than we do but the have mask on. At this point I’m doing it for my health I have controlled asthma and I was diagnosed with high blood pressure but was able to get it under control with diet and exercise. I’m not taking any chances and leaving my lil baby motherless.

Its like war breh, unfortunately good people will die, that's the game...
A lot of these deaths are from stupid muthafukkas acting like it's a hoax and then passing it to their innocent family members who are staying home. Then those family members end up dying.
Y'all hear about that story about that kid who went to a friend's party, ended up giving his parents Corona and both parents died.
We just have to do our part, protect ourselves and our families as best we can...

Florida dad in ICU with coronavirus, exposed by son who went out with friends, family says

MIAMI — For weeks, Michelle Zymet pleaded with her stepson to avoid going out with friends and to always wear a mask.
“It’s just not the time,” the Florida woman says she told him, begging him to think about his dad, who is at a higher risk of severe COVID-19 illness because he is overweight and diabetic.
One evening in early June, the young man went out against her wishes, gathered with friends and removed his mask while eating and drinking. Days later, he felt cold symptoms and a friend at the get-together told him she had tested positive for coronavirus. By then, it already had taken hold in the young man’s household.
The man's father, John Place, 42, is now fighting the virus at a hospital's intensive care unit.
The illness’s spread among members of the Plantation, family highlights the outcome dreaded by authorities who feared the recent surge of cases hitting younger Floridians would spread to older, more vulnerable people.
In this June 2020 photo made available by Michelle Zymet, her husband John Place breathes through a ventilator while fighting COVID-19 in an ICU bed at Westside Regional Medical Center in Plantation, Fla. Place likely became infected by his son, who became ill after gathering with friends where they took their masks off to drink and eat. A friend at the get-together later said she tested positive for the new coronavirus.

“They don’t necessarily listen. It could be peer pressure,” said Zymet, 42. “Maybe they think, ‘None of us are sick. We are fine.’ They don’t understand many of us are asymptomatic and are positive carriers of the virus.”
The young man, who did not want to talk to the media, had told his father and stepmother that he initially thought he had a common cold and took over-the-counter medication. When he heard about his friend testing positive, he still didn’t think he had it.
But members of the family started to fall ill one by one, starting with his 14-year-old brother, who is also overweight and was wheezing, coughing and lethargic.
The 6-year-old sister had only a runny nose. The stepmother was achy, with a fever and chills. They all tested positive, but only Place, the father, required hospitalization after four days of fever and nonstop coughing. He has now been in the hospital for nearly three weeks.

With Place unable to work at his photo booth business, Zymet’s friends are raising funds for the family as they brace to handle hefty medical bills.
Zymet said she has been called an “awful mother,” and an “evil witch” for placing the blame on the stepson, but she said she thought it was important to share her family’s story amid a surge of infections first detected among young people.
South Florida mayors gathered earlier this week with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and told him that gatherings of young people were a key factor in the rise in cases that emerged in June in their region.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said younger people were celebrating the end of school or college, in some cases joining street protests and otherwise just getting together at house parties, underground venues and restaurants that converted themselves into bars late at night in violation of the rules.

A daily update on the coronavirus crisis in Florida.
With so many close-knit, multigenerational families in the community, spread to older members of families seemed inevitable, he said.
“Since the young kids started infecting each other, now we see the results as more older folks are now going into the hospital,” Gimenez said Tuesday. “Exactly what we feared — that they were going to take it to their parents, that they were going to take it to their grandparents.”
On Wednesday, Florida passed the 300,000 mark of confirmed coronavirus cases and has been averaging about 96 deaths per day — more than triple the rate it was about a month ago.

Zymet and her family have been isolating at home, and Place was on a ventilator for more than two weeks. She says her stepson has been helping taking care of the younger children and researching the disease while she juggles work in between calls to the hospital, nurses and doctors.
She said the younger generation “won’t know until it hits home.”
“This has definitely brought us together,” she added. “We could have eventually gotten this disease somewhere else. But it is the unfortunate truth that he did bring it home.”

The way things are in London/UK it appears this virus has just disappeared
They don't even report the deaths anymore on news sites over here. Literally no concerns, fans gonna be hack instadiums in Autumn.
I don't even know what to think anymore
Wouldn't say no concerns, they are heavy on the social distancing and face masks. Got refused an uber last weekend as had no mask. Not seen anyone on Tube without a mask, its being observed to a degree.
Its pretty low here in London, in the week only 7 ppl have died from covid from a report I read today.
There was a spike in Leicester but they were put on lockdown, its reduced now.
A lot of things are back open and we saw what Boris said today.
Roads are busy again public transport picking up.
Most parts of London I've been out and about are like normal, part from Tourist areas like West End, never seen Leicester Square so dead.

California’s governor announced rules that would force most schools to start the year with virtual learning.
Responding to soaring coronavirus infections and growing concern from teachers, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California announced new rules on Friday that would force many of the state’s districts to teach remotely when school starts next month and require most of its more than six million students to wear masks when they do attend class.
“We all prefer in-classroom instruction for all the obvious reasons,” Mr. Newsom said, “but only if it can be done safely.”
The announcement comes at the end of a week in which school districts across the state and country, including California’s two largest, Los Angeles and San Diego, abandoned plans for in-person instruction, saying they would start the school year remotely, and in which California announced a sweeping rollback of plans to reopen businesses.
Education leaders in Houston, Atlanta, Nashville, Arlington, Va., and Broward County, Fla., also said this week that they planned to open the academic year online, despite pressure from President Trump and some Republican governors who want students in their classrooms five days a week.
new guidelines were issued Friday that would allow as many as eight weeks of online-only instruction when schools come back in session next month.
And leaders of Chicago’s public school system, the nation’s third-largest district after New York and Los Angeles, said on Friday that they’re planning for a mix of in-person and online classes. But they stressed that the announcement was a tentative framework, with a final plan expected in August. New York City schools are also planning an in-person and online mix.
The California rules announced by Governor Newsom on Friday would force schools in counties that the state has put on a “watchlist” — because the virus is spreading rapidly there — to teach online until they meet certain public health thresholds. Currently, 32 of the state’s 58 counties, including many of the most-populated, are on that list.
The rules would also require teachers and staff to maintain six feet of physical distance in schools that are allowed to reopen, and mandate masks for students in third grade and up. Younger children would be encouraged but not required to wear face coverings.
The guidelines also recommend that school employees be tested regularly for the coronavirus, something teachers across the country have been pushing for, although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said doing so is not necessary, and scaling up testing has been a challenge.
The C.D.C. said Friday that it would not release its guidance for reopening schools this week as expected, saying that they would be released by the end of the month. Mr. Trump — who has been insistent that schools reopen in the fall — clashed with the C.D.C. earlier this month, calling its proposed guidelines “very tough and expensive” and demanding that they be revised.
Gavin Newsom ain't fukking around. 80% of state is on the list, he's basically holding the republican parts of the state by the balls. They won't able to push the non mask issues if they want schools open.

I'm wondering how much longer El Dorado County can dodge the list of the other CA counties on lockdown. Most of the county is rural except El Dorado Hills , a wealthy suburb 20 miles East of Downtown Sacramento . The town has been
