    Memorial day spike followed by a riot/protest spike. I'm kind of pissed to TBH. I thought we'd reached an equilibrium where people could go to work, be careful and stores like Costco were having people take some basic precautionary measures that collectively mean a great deal.

    Then places like House of Jump decided to open up and everyone felt that a good riot was exactly what this pandemic needed.
    Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

      Where is that graphic from?

      I like it, especially the "Currently hospitalized". That's the one I think is most worth monitoring.

        New Zealand is now COVID-19 free:

        Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern makes the announcement weeks after her government began easing restrictions as the number of cases in New Zealand continued to drop.

            Well, the media seems to not take the coronavirus epidemic seriously anymore. Pretty amazing the about face they've done since the protests started.

              Honestly, I think that's just because it's 'old news.' It doesn't quite get the old heart racing like it did back in March. Don't worry- we'll be back on the covid train once that mortality rate kicks back into overdrive in July...

                      I would love for this to be true, but it seems like it should have been much easier to contain if that were the case.

                        it has consistently been shown to not spread as fast as was supposed it would. Nowhere is close to herd immunity.
