Georgia continues to be in better shape than about 3/4ths of the country, and our "line" has been very flat for about two months.

I watched a news report on CBSN a few minutes ago that said the US currently has 6.3M positive cases of Covid. Currently by definition means, "at the present time." Their report is indicating to viewers that at the present time, 6.3M people have Covid in the US. This is not true. The data actually says 6.3M people in the US has tested positive for Covid since March 4 of this year.

I know our city is doing fine until you add in the kids on the college campus' that are now testing positive in large numbers. That is going to give King Newsom plenty of leverage to close our city down again.
Each time he does this, he loses a little more credibility with the sheeple. It is waking up some of the citizens who have voted for these democrats... we'll see. He has some new chart for California of how and when cities can come off of lock down...and when they get put back on lockdown. Already it's been proven that the hurdles are unreachable the way he structured it. People are pointing to the fact he wants the authority to keep everyone from getting back to life until he says so.
I heard on the radio one of GA campuses had many test positive as well. You made national news on that one.
Some colleges are now closing campuses sending the students back home...to infest their own town... nothing like spreading the mess instead of just telling them to lock down on campus.

UGA reports another big jump in coronavirus cases in latest weekly report

I don't care how many people get it, as long as no one dies from it! Covid ripping through a college campus could be a good thing if they isolate the sick on campus for two weeks or whatever the protocol calls for. Add to the herd immunity as long as no one dies or has any long lasting effects.I know our city is doing fine until you add in the kids on the college campus' that are now testing positive in large numbers.

Best I can tell, there's maybe three scenarios that will allow us to move beyond COVID, and herd immunity is one of them.

Except many of the teachers are pretty old... along with the staff.
Without minimizing the affects of what the virus has had on many families, when 1M otherwise young and healthy people with no pre-conditions die of it then I'll agree we have a serious problem. Otherwise it's just another obstacle in the short span of life we enjoy. We're not stepping over dead bodies like during the Black Plague days, just as GD.

What frustrates me are the people who seem to think that IF everyone wore a mask, we'd be ready to open back up now. They are pitching a fit that the "mask deniers" are the reason we still have the virus around.
Uhhh no. The odds of the world being able to stop the virus and isolate it at this point is about zero. if we try to open up, we'd see spikes just like we are seeing.
Either we get a vaccine, or herd immunity to the point it can't spread much. All the masks were supposed to do was slow the spread to keep the heath system from overloading, not stopping this thing completely.

So far the people I know who have gotten it are all liberals... none of them died... it took 2 months to recover and test negative, but none of them went to emergency, or was admitted into the hospital, or ICU.I was just speaking to a guest from Indiana tonight about this. He said so what's the deal with masks?
I said in Kalifonia, you have to wear one when in a store or restaurant, or anywhere there are people and you are closer than 6 feet. I said if you were outside hiking, you can leave it off unless someone is hiking past you and will be closer than 6 feet, then you need to put it back on. I said if you are outside with no one around and have your mask off, you will get stink eye from people who think you must wear a mask all the time.
He said yeah, I got that feeling. He had a mask, but like me, he had it hanging from one ear. (Then you can put it on, but don't have it suffocating you when not needed.)
I told him we had some restrictions lifted as we went from level three restrictions to level two, but as the colleges started there had been a rash of university student testing positive which will cause us to slip back to level three.
He said, "Yeah, no one expects college kids not to congregate and party together in off hours, that is the whole point of college. They are not going to die of it anyway."
I said, "They might as well all just mingle and get it and be done with it. San Diego State University has 34,000 students, University of California San Diego has about 36,000 the city college system has 100,000, we have many other smaller private Universities. The county has about 3 million people. The more students who get it and get on with life, the more herd immunity we are getting without deaths.

If college students were never around elderly who are more vulnerable and others who are younger and at high risk. I'm sure there are professors and others working on college campuses who are high risk these students come into contact with. Just the other day, a 29-year old teacher died from the virus. She had health issues.

Yep, that is the slippery part. They would be at a grocery store and spread it to non- students, or give it to a person who is not on campus who is at risk if they get the virus.
And yet, in Los Angeles their "medical expert", speaking with a committee on opening schools in Los Angeles said she did not think schools would get back on campuses until... get this... "after the election".... really? Why not just say early November, or in about 6 weeks...
Many minds like mine struggle to think that this is not all political. For H1N1, there was no lock down and yet young healthy people died of that... not just old with underlying conditions in nursing homes.
I'm almost willing to say open up the country knowing there will be a spike then it will settle down. Get the economy going...Kalifornia's governor, Newsom, (Nancy Pelosi's Nephew) is definitely playing politics with this virus... I M A G I N E that... what a shock.... apples don't fall far from trees.

The left has made this virus political to blame Trump for the spread and the deaths. It's all about achieving power for them.
