“And then it’s up to us,” Giroir went on. “If we do the things we know so well now that work — we have evidence on top of evidence that simple mask wearing, if everybody does it, can completely reverse this — then we’re not going to see [any new increases]. But if we don’t do that, until we get a vaccine, 90 percent of the population is still at risk to get this virus and that could be catastrophic if we don’t do those kinds of actions we’re asking.”
A man allegedly opened fire in the lobby of Miami, Florida’s Crystal Beach Suites Hotel after becoming angry over a mother and her son’s refusal to social distance.
“Yep. it sounds daunting now that over 150,000 Americans are dead because of it. I was one of the lucky ones. Mild symptoms. I count my blessings and urge you to keep wearing the damn mask, keep washing your hands, and stay socially distant,” the Malcom in the Middle star said. “We can prevail – but ONLY if we follow the rules together.”
Sixty percent of workers who have tested positive for coronavirus in Los Angeles have refused to cooperate with contact tracing, making the pandemic harder to control and raising doubts about whether such a system can work nationwide.
However it shouldn’t be so restrictive that everyone looks and feels like they are escape medical patients at the looney bin. Children and young adults will be harmed by mask mandates. It’s inherently unsanitary.
“Robert Redfield of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) testified on Friday that this fall, the United States must reopen schools that were shut down to stem the coronavirus spread because failing to do so would be detrimental and even deadly for the development and health of students K thru 12.”
“From a medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks, the Cabinet has decided that there will be no national obligation for wearing non-medical masks” announced Netherlands Minister for Medical Care Tamara van Ark.

Squarespace, Inc. is a private American company, based in New York City, that provides software as a service for website building and hosting. Its customers use pre-built website templates and drag and drop elements to create webpages.
Anthony Casalena developed Squarespace as a blog-hosting service while attending the University of Maryland. He founded it as a company in 2004, and was its only employee until 2006, when it reached $1 million in revenue. The company grew from 30 employees in 2010 to 550 by 2015. By 2014, it raised a total of $78.5 million in venture capital; added e-commerce tools, domain name services, and analytics; and replaced its coding backend with drag and drop features.
Casalena began developing Squarespace for his personal use while attending the University of Maryland.[2][3] He started sharing it with friends and family members[2] and participated in a “business incubator” program at the university.[3] He launched Squarespace publicly in January 2004,[3][4] initially funded by $30,000 from his father, a small grant from the university, and 300 beta testers who paid a discounted rate.[3][5][6][7] At that time, Casalena was the company’s sole developer and employee, and worked out of his dorm room.[3][6]
By the time Casalena graduated in 2007, Squarespace was making annual revenues of $1 million.[4] He moved to New York City, began hiring, and had 30 employees by 2010.[4][7] That year, Squarespace received $38.5 million in its first round of venture capital funding, enabling it to hire more staff, continue to develop its software,[8] and double its marketing budget.[2] From 2009 to 2012, it grew an average of 266% in yearly revenue.[9] In April 2014, it received another $40 million in funding.[10] By 2015, it had reached $100 million in revenue and 550 employees.[4]
Squarespace has purchased Super Bowl advertising spots in 2014,[2] 2015,[11] 2016,[12] 2017[13] and 2018.[14] Its 2017 ad won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Commercial.[13] In 2017, it signed a sponsorship deal with the New York Knicks to add the Squarespace logo to their uniforms.[15]
After the Unite the Right rally in 2017, Squarespace received a petition with 58,000 signatures and removed a group of websites for violating its terms of service against “bigotry or hatred” towards demographic groups.[16][17] In 2017, it raised an additional $200 million in funding, boosting its value to $1.7 billion.[18] This funding was earmarked for reacquiring interests from investors.[18]
In 2018, Squarespace partnered with the Madison Square Garden Company to launch the “Make It Awards”, which award $30,000 to entrepreneurs (4 winners, totaling $120,000).[19]
As of 2016, Squarespace hosts more than one million websites.[4] Its users employ pre-built website templates, and a variety of drag and drop widgets to add elements such as text and images.[8] Its developers also create custom templates that are sold to users.[8] On-screen instructions walk users through things like search engine optimization and setting up e-commerce.[4]
Squarespace was initially built for creating and hosting blogs.[5] E-commerce features, such as an integration with Stripe for accepting credit card payments, were added in 2013.[21] In 2014, more commerce features were added; a mobile version of the service was released; a separate facility was added for developers writing custom templates and features;[22] and a logo-creation app was introduced in partnership with icon designer Noun Project.[23]
In 2011, Squarespace was upgraded to version 6, with new templates, a grid-based user interface, and other enhancements.[8] Version 7, which went live in 2014, replaced its coding backend with a drag and drop interface,[24][25] and added integration with Google Apps for Work and Getty Images.[10] In 2016, Squarespace started selling domains, putting it in more direct competition with GoDaddy;[26] and added an analytics dashboard[27] and PayPal integration.[28]
“We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID,” Redfield said at the time. “We’re seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose that are above excess that we had as background than we are seeing the deaths from COVID.”
Gotta start with this chart many of you have seen by now

Every state govenor who shut down their state economy must be removed from office at ballot box, Democrat or Republican. It’s the patriotic thing to do America!
Nearly all states tanked their economy to try to stop Trump from winning NOV Election.
32% decline is fake news. It’s the annualized rate. Not for Q2.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said local health officials cannot issue sweeping orders that close schools in an attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Dr. Harvey Risch, a noted Yale epidemiologist, has accused White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci of waging a “misinformation campaign” against the drug hydroxychloroquine, claiming the medication has shown consistently encouraging results in treating COVID-19 when used properly.
Why were they not doing this from the start? Will they be forced to change all the previous data and reported data and update their graphs?
A fatality is counted as due to COVID-19 when the medical certifier, usually a doctor with direct knowledge of the patient, determines COVID-19 directly caused the death. This method does not include deaths of people who had COVID-19 but died of an unrelated cause. Death certificates are required by law to be filed within 10 days.
On July 8, the California Teachers Association (CTA), the most powerful public-sector union in the Golden State, issued a statement asserting that, due to coronavirus concerns, state schools should not open this fall. The following day, the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) released a 17-page “research paper” in which concerns about coronavirus were secondary to sweeping political demands—including Medicare for All, guaranteed housing, a wealth tax, a millionaire’s tax, defunding the police, financial support for illegal immigrants, and a moratorium on charter schools. The UTLA ended its manifesto by asserting, without evidence, “the only people guaranteed to benefit from the premature physical reopening of schools amidst a rapidly accelerating pandemic are billionaires and the politicians they’ve purchased.”
The overwhelming prevailing clinical trials that have looked at the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine have indicated that it is not effective in coronavirus disease,”
Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV). No effective prophylactic or post-exposure therapy is currently available.
Results We report, however, that chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. In addition to the well-known functions of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. This may negatively influence the virus-receptor binding and abrogate the infection, with further ramifications by the elevation of vesicular pH, resulting in the inhibition of infection and spread of SARS CoV at clinically admissible concentrations.
Conclusion Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral compounds.
Nationally, new case growth seems to be flattening, which would be very good news. Testing growth has also slowed, and reports of testing backlogs make the data harder to interpret, but we may really be seeing cases plateau again.
The odds of a kid under the age of 15 dying of #COVID19 are 1 in 1.7 million… but since most kids do NOT suffer from comorbidities those odds move to 1 in 8.5M
Even with the raw odds kids under 15 have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than dying of #COVID19. pic.twitter.com/0AP6F0CLKC
Someone asked how it would look just doing the 50 states and DC. I ran the numbers with California counting as N. Tropical (under 35 N). @Hold2LLC graphed this. Check out the correlation to the same flu pattern. https://t.co/5wI4LANOmMpic.twitter.com/eYAS5D5Nsf
The case fatality rate for people in Florida who tested positive in June or early July was MUCH lower than it was in April. The overall death rate has dropped by 75%, over 65 dropped by half, and under 65 dropped by 71%.https://t.co/cvQlkvwPqe
TX Border vs. Non-Border chart thru 7/26: Several things notable. 1. Border has peaked?! First time I've made this chart where that may be case. 2. Non-border: Deaths slight uptick, but cases solidly past peak. 3. Mexico may have peaked 2 weeks ago – provides greater confidence. pic.twitter.com/8peM7TFSPY

Sixty percent of restaurants in the United States that were closed during the coronavirus lockdowns will not reopen, according to a survey Yelp released on Monday.
During a heated exchange with Trump Campaign Communications Director Tim Murtaugh this week, CNN Anchor Brianna Keiler claimed hydroxychloroquine, a decades old malaria drug, “kills people.” The comments were cut off in the online version of the interview, but aired live.
Was the lockdown successful? I say yes very successful. Successful in things like this. Anxiety hotline calls up 1000 percent. Child abuse both sexual and non up. Financially, emotional distress, Suicide. Alcohol. 150,000 Americans a month not receiving cancer screening. It’s been effective alright, in all the wrong metrics — in all the areas we didn’t want it to be effective. Delay in medical care. We talked about that. Orthopedics, nonessential. Suicide calls up 600 percent. Suicide calls. We heard other doctors mention this. So was the lockdown effective? If that’s the effect you were going for, then yes but it was trying to flatten the curve but it had these secondary consequences that I think are devastating. People staying indoors. No exercising as you mentioned. No Vitamin D.

Here is the opposition to the panic porn narrative. Experts, that don’t believe in the panic porn. The barrier to school re-starting is SCHOOL UNIONS, Not Science. HCQ restriction is criminal.
BELLMAWR, New Jersey (WPVI) — The owners of a New Jersey gym that repeatedly defied Gov. Phil Murphy’s executive order to remain closed during the COVID-19 pandemic were arrested Monday.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is calling on residents to wear masks inside their own homes to reduce the spread of COVID-19 among family members, Business Insider reports.
Following that trip, Cuomo earlier this week was asked by media if he would be self-quarantining after his return from Georgia. The governor said he would not, declaring himself an “essential worker” under his own rule’s exemptions. His administration also noted that the quarantine rule does not apply to individuals passing through a flagged state for less than 24 hours.
