Crowded Texas water park in Katy. We're definitely on track to being worse off than NY was.

It's terrible, everyone I know or talked to from Houston aren't taking this seriously at all, or calling it all a hoax

From Houston, I see people on fb going out to socialize with large groups of people all the time. One person I saw had their grandmother pass away from it and only then did she take it seriously. It literally takes a death of a loved one to even reach these people.

I fucking hate anyone who is making my job harder.

also, cali has like double the population of florida, so there's that. so it's per capita cases isn't exactly as bad, even though it's absolute number of cases is high. it's not californias fault everyone wants to live there.

but yeah, orange county had to fuck it up for everyone. and go figure, it's one of the more red areas of the state.

Not only does everyone want to live here but everyone wants to visit here. All those conservative states LOVE to hate on California but where do they take their vacations? California. I know in my area one restaurant is serving between 700-900 tourists a day for lunch and dinner. No big surprise that was ground zero for the first cases in my area.

But whyyyyy! They're so annoying and I can't breathe and make everyone look like they're a complicit drone.

Thanks for what you do, even if a lot of them are dumbfucks.

California Republicans getting COVID on purpose to make California look bad. Sad.

Life is a book and I'm the protagonist in it. Nothing in life is real until it happens to me.

You see it again, and again, and again. The intellectual selfishness of people is staggering.

I think the reason is those states ignored the recommendations. Gov. Newsom did the best he could in CA and worked swiftly, but too many people didn't listen for a variety of reasons:

I mean you had Orange county alone revolt against doing any kind of lockdown. Then you have prisoners purposefully giving themselves Covid to try and get out of prison. Then you have LA (which has a higher populations than some states) who is just chock full of workers who couldn't stay home. It was a recipe for disaster.

But again, Newsom did respond faster than most states, and is constantly trying to get things shut down while having to deal with Trump threatening to pull funding for doing so. So that's probably why they are not criticized as much.

Well except for the part where he killed a ton of nursing home patients as the direct result of his actions

You're thinking Cuomo, Newsom wasn't sending COVID patients to nursing homes.

Florida destroyed the single state single day positive case record with 15,300.

Previous 2 highs were CA with 11,694 (not sure when) and NY 11,571 (back during their peak)

[Byrthnoth]

Friend got tested in Florida recently and it took 8 days to get her results back, so there are quite a few doublings already built in to the reporting lag.

[synistar]

California has not been above 10k. Closest was 9.5k last Monday or Tuesday with 2k of the positive cases from test backlogs over the 4th of July weekend. The 7-day average is at 8.5k.

Meanwhile, CA counties that have been on the watch list since the last week of June may need to close all indoor retail early this week. TBH, shit should have been shut down 2 weeks ago.

Just goin off what was in the WaPo article

Another 3 people at work popped positive within the last week so I had the pleasure of getting my nose raped again to check. Luckily, Florida has become less annoying to get a test whenever you want now since there's a lot more free walk-up and drive-in testing sites available along with the appointment based locations.

Where are these elusive testing centers? I can't find any around me, theyre all out of tests by the time I get there, or they won't authorize me to get tested cause I don't check off enough boxes

Governor of NM has mandated that indoor seating in restaurants be stopped come Monday, also masks are required for all exercise in gym or outside.

I feel bad for them cause the federal help is drying up in a few weeks and they're just now starting the sickness pains of covid that NY and broward/Miami have been having (maybe LA idk if they shutdown in-house dining). Sucks to go through it but if you were, you wanted to do it months ago not right now.

I'm not sure of all the places up where you live but you can check this site: https://www.broward.org/CoronaVirus/...ion-Sites.aspx. I went to the Mirarmar location which had 2 1/2 hr wait time.

CVS does drive up testing by appointment, otherwise your local health department or college campus likely has a testing site.
