The coronavirus spread updated in real time

In a surprise to no one, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has struck down our stay-at-home order. 

5-2 Conservative majority, who woulda thought.

[_EAllusion]

The ruling was 4-3 with one conservative joining the liberals in dissent.

I look forward to Trump's tweet storm attacking that poor soul.

I think it works in a similar way in Washington. Emergency orders have to be ratified by the legislature at a certain point. I can’t recall if it’s at an extension or a set number of days.

It looks like local governments can and have imposed imposed their own orders.

Welp. Brazil just recorded its deadliest day. ‘_’ We were adjusting our plans to look at a possible travel date in December thinking things might be safer in 6 months, but then I just read Rick Bright’s assessment of the incoming second wave of this thing in the Fall/Winter.

CONSPIRACY ALERT!

crap’s gonna get real weird once people get past caring about this virus. I just saw a graph of the H1N1 outbreak, and its second wave was bigger than the first. So. Yeah. I ain’t doin’ crap until there’s a vaccine.

Right there with you. I got a few people I need to have a discussion with who apparently think I'm still traveling in September. Not happening.

For me, it's easy. I have no reason to believe I've been exposed. No symptoms. Very few trips out of the house. No clusters, let alone isolated cases, in my family or people I regularly associate with. So, I'm not trying to be tested. I think it makes much more sense give antibody tests to people who tested positive with a PCR test, health care workers who were exposed, and others as part of a surveillance study. But that's just me.

It's way above my paygrade, too. But there are lots of folks on #epitwitter who will take the time to explain as long as you're civil about it.

You talked me right out of it, RI.

The Financial Times is reporting via anonymous sources that Trump deliberately slow-walked COVID preparations in order to avoid spooking the stock market on the advise of Jared Kushner. That seems to be what was occurring right out in the open - he liked the numbers where they were - but uncovering a hidden story is sexier and so this is getting a lot of coverage at the moment. I'm not sure that it actually moves the ball much.

Here's a study indicating that social distancing policy has a very sizeable effect on the transmission rate of coronavirus in the United States:

And here's a video Donald Trump is promoting on his Twitter:

So Birx has become a shill for Trump? Fauci just said yesterday the numbers are most certainly an undercount.

Will you allow people to go back to work if we elect a Democrat president? I guess under the left's reasoning, the economy is functioning at 75%. We can keep the shutdown for the next 3 to 4 years or until a vaccine/cure is found. Better yet, let's not go back to work until death is cured.
