Same here. You can't go into a store in Chicago without a mask, they simply won't let you in. The mayor is keeping our lakefront and many major gathering places closed. This is major reason we're doing much better with our covid numbers. I miss these areas of the city, but saving lives is the way to go...
If natural selection works as I understand it, there may be a significant shift in the populace from red to blue over the next 18 months...
I claimed back on the day it opened, and within 2 weeks they had retroactively paid me $4800...No complaints here. I hope they extend it in some form or another. I bought a Volvo, and stacked another $4500 in the bank so far... three more payments of $1500 before it ends, but man, what a ride.
You and anyone who qualifies should file for that.

No, since the repubs control the bill, there is a TON of opposition to continuing the $600 per week. I've been reading about the updates almost daily. I'm cautiously optimistic that it will be revised in some form, and we may receive a reduced weekly payment, like an additional $200-$300...
I think the governor of California just made masks in public mandatory again a couple days ago. We are also trending up as a state...
With so much of the Country closing again, I believe they will be forced to extend it. Especially with the BLM protests still going strong. I don't think they want those guys coming back to Donny's lawn to complain. How many times per year can they open that bunker??? /Politics. Sorry, Annie...
I sure hope you're right, but I'm pretty sure they won't extend the CARES act, and the HEROES act was dead on arrival. You know, those senate fuckers are taking another 2 week vacation starting July 3rd? They aren't even discussing it until they return. So when they DO finally get around to negotiating another stimulus act, it will be well into August at the earliest until we see the effect of it.
I don't know that there is anyway we can separate this pandemic from the government's response. As long as we can keep the thread in TnT I'm happy, thanks guys.
I just can't fucking catch a break! fmlWhy me?

As of Friday morning, the county had recorded 1,976 lab-positive cases of COVID-19 and 67 deaths. More than 475 cases and 22 deaths have occurred in unincorporated county areas or in Rancho Cordova, areas where Sheriff’s Office deputies have routine patrols.
Across California, more than 160,000 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and nearly 5,300 have died, state health officials said in a Thursday update.
Wearing fabric masks is better than nothing but far better is a reusable respirator. Everyone should care for their own health and not rely on another person's compliance with fabric masks. As long as we are going to be in this for awhile it's worth it to upgrade to comfortable and effective PPE. Remember to wear your eye protection!
The Banting diet is what medical science used for diabetics prior to insulin's arrival. It works terrifically for Type II diabetics too. If you want a good read I recommend Gary Taubes, "Good Calories, Bad Calories"There is a Limited Series on Netflix about covid.
3 episodes so far.
I enjoyed the 1st episode a while back and there are 3 episodes now.
The 3rd one about how to cope gave me a boost yesterday.
I'm at a point where the only way I'm going to get my type 2 diabetes back under control is by making some big changes.
Just being reminded in that episode 3 to do some deep breathing and then doing it during the episode helped.
I'm going to become more active in my garden having not done much for the last several months, soil mix is ready and I'll be growing some Blue Dream and Cannatonic a CBD strain. Harvest will be right before Halloween. I wonder what Halloween will be like this year? Can't give out candy.

That's the one thing I always here from the deniers… "I mean do you even personally know anyone who is sick? Well no, but I only know like 5 people. I don't know anyone that has personally gone to the moon either but…"
One can "O" worms at a time Neo. : )
