It definitely seemed like somewhere that was mostly pretending there was not a pandemic.

I think that's exactly what the people I know traveling are looking for

I'm passing on any locations that don't have any rules in place.  If I go there it's strictly hotel, outdoor attractions, and carry out food.

Also, I'll add that most people I'm seeing do this aren't married and don't have kids. So I imagine there's probably a stronger need to see close family for them.

Analysts in UK are concerned about a trajectory towards 40K plus cases a day within 3 weeks.

Dutch:  Spike

The Spanish government is looking at bringing in the military to help fight the RONA.

Previous Lockdowns:  Meaningless at this point

They seem to be trying to reassert themselves a bit more lately rather than boneheadedly capitulating to Trump.

Yep they really asserted themselves with that Friday afternoon website update

Their officials also started contradicting Trump in television appearances a couple weeks ago. It's both not very much and also a giant improvement.

Yes I agree it's a positive

But Jay Butler, the CDC’s deputy director for infectious disease, said the Friday update was posted in error. “Unfortunately an early draft of a revision went up without any technical review,” he said.

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE eff

Welcome to March 2020 CDC.

UNWELCOME TO MARCH 2020 CDC

[Phil Titola]

Quite an organization. Par for the course of this administration but damn.

[chum1]

What a joke.

[sonofdaxjones]

Big thanks for major Dem operative Kathleen Kennedy Townsend for her highly leaned in support for the Robert Redfield nomination and approval as Director of the CDC

The Lt gov of Maryland from 1995-2003? Yeah I blame her too.

Obviously to blame for another questionable Trump appointment

But Redfield has not escaped the controversy that has dogged other Trump-era appointees. In the mid-1990s, Redfield oversaw a clinical trial of an experimental HIV vaccine at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. He was accused of manipulating data from the trial, “sloppy or, possibly, deceptive” data analysis, and overstating results in a number of talks and publications.

I want some optimism from DQ.  I see that the daily death numbers are falling even though states are opening more and more.

Is europe just going through what we did a month ago?  The second wave type thing?

Things have been getting progressively better since about the beginning of August.

Yeah broadly speaking, things are getting better.  MO/KS have been trending poorly at times, but relative to some of the other hotspots, they're not really in the conversation.

In summary: country is improving; MO/KS have been declining, but still not very bad, relatively.

Good Evening,

I am writing to inform you that your child has been in close contact with a person at school who has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.

Those in close contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 need to quarantine for 14 days. Your child will continue school remotely during this time with Mrs. REDACTED teaching. Remote learning will start this coming Tuesday, September 22nd. We will be in contact tomorrow about getting your child’s school iPad to you. The Douglas County Health Department has provided the letter below with guidance for your next steps.

Please know siblings do not need to quarantine.

The advantage to throwing up a mission accomplished banner too soon is that you can keep throwing up mission accomplished banners

Talking a little more than just KS/MO.
