This one really gets me,,,,these three are not considered an essential service but the meat cutters are,,. They should be sending these guys into the Whitehouse with a rag tied around there head and a garbage bag like the rest the Health Care Workers,,!!

Global report: Anthony Fauci and two other White House Covid-19 taskforce members to self-quarantine
Dr Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration, Stephen Hahn, are all expected to work remotely due to potential exposure to Covid-19.
Yesterday afternoon I had a parade of about 100 cars pass by my home filled with families apparently celebrating the graduation of their kids from the local high school. It took about 20 minutes for all the cars to drive by, with signs, honking and waving to the neighborhood residents, who all came out to wave back and then they got together in groups to talk to each other. Not a person in any of the cars or my neighbors wore a mask. Later that day my neighbor had a party in their backyard until the fog rolled in and it got too cold to hang around. So there you go. What good are health regulations if no one pays any attention to them? Maybe they should just let everything open up and let the chips fall where they may. <img src="https://f800riders.org/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes.png" border="0" alt="" title="Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)" class="inlineimg" />
It’s okay. Remember, the rules don’t apply to everyone. Witness speeders, tax evaders, adulterers, texters, etc. They’re not expected to abide by societal norms. It’s just for the rest of us.
Speaking of social distancing: My daughter owns a typical CA subdivision home built in the 1950's on a 50 by 100 foot lot. She told me yesterday that her husband cut back a large hedge along their side yard fence and when he looked over the fence he noticed a row of tents in their neighbor's backyard. She said that they had seen a number of strange cars parked in the street lately that they didn't recognize and (when her chickens were not clucking) had been hearing a many different strange Spanish-speaking voices coming from the house and yard. She thinks that her neighbor is renting out his backyard as a low cost apartment complex using tents instead of rooms. She has been in the home before and it has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and one kitchen, just like hers. She also says that the people living there seem to do most of their cooking on a patio gas grill.
I guess that is why they don't complain about the chicken noise coming from her yard and the flies that they attract. They would likely prefer that the county not notice what is going on in their home, either. Kind of creative, but I imagine that only undocumented Mexicans would be able to live for very long under those conditions and living arrangements. Likely not a lot of social distancing going on in that home.

Chalk another one up for the anti-social distancing side,,. One day after reopening, an ice cream shop was forced to temporarily close because customers didn't follow social distancing rules
I can relate to that, not that I'm antisocial, just busy renovating, The only difference it made to my life was that I couldn't just go for a drive when I felt like it. Sad, isn't it?

I only found out on the 27th of April that we (in NSW) could not only go for a ride, but could have been riding since the public health order back at the end of March. Doh.
Gladys says the NSW gov sees motorbike riding as good for mental health and 'akin to riding an exercise bike'. Now, I personally don't see it like that but a green light is a green light.
How has Daniel Andrew's team considered riding, do you know?
PS I think all of our pollies have done an excellent job, worked very well with health authorities and it kills me to say it but have earned our respect and, going out on a limb here, another term regardless of party.
New cases that can be counted on just fingers and toes for a population of 25 million or so is amazing.
Here in Latrobe we have now officially got 0 active cases.
Geez, it feels good, but I'll still be keeping the distance until all's as clear as can be in the state of Vic and the country as a whole.

When I was growing up during the 1940's I lived in San Fransisco directly across from Golden Gate Park. They had all sorts of wonderful and dangerous play devices, all made out of hard steel. They had steel slides, steel teeter-totters, steel monkey bars, a three-story kiddy-car ride where little children would be placed on small wooden three-wheel carts and sent flying down a ziz-zag gravity track to an abrupt stop at the bottom. And of course, they also had a much larger version of that steel spinner that would be powered by the larger kids to see how fast they could spin the device so as to fling off the younger kids on to the surrounding cat-box sand. Life was much different back then.
I might add that no one thought much of it when I would ride the public city bus by myself each day to grammar school when I was 6 and 7 years old.

Richard230, then I imagine you fondly miss Playland at the Beach (especially the Funhouse). I don’t think anyone died there. I grew up on the Peninsula and loved going there as a kid. Why can’t kids have innocent fun like that today?
Andrew Cuomo makes Trump look like a total moron everytime either of them open their mouths on this subject,,.
I think this guy would make a good Vice choice given his experiance and previous political successes, unfortunately he and Biden have both indicated that its not in the tea leaves?
On that note, I have been predicting some kind of Dark Horse at the convention. I just voted in my state's primary election and I can tell you I did not vote for Biden.

Oh,,! Another cliff hanger, just what the situation needs,,. You have so many really exceptionally bright and highly competent people, perhaps one of them will get in for a change,,!! Anyway, thats politics?
Back to social distancing, Let the good time roll,,!!
It was party time at a number of taverns in Milwaukee on Wednesday night. Most patrons were not in masks and operators encouraged social distancing.

I spent many happy hours when I was growing up in the Playland Fun House. It was really cheap entertainment. I think it cost something like 10 cents to enter. One thing I never did was to swim in the huge unheated ocean water pool that was at the far end of Playland. Way too cold and too salty for me.
Interestingly, for a few years I worked for the civil engineer who helped to design the infrastructure for the condominium project that replaced Playland in the late 1960's. I was really sad to see the old place go. But it was getting pretty run down as the owners didn't do any maintenance and it was falling apart.

I spent the last couple of hours walking around the neighborhood and passed maybe 30 people. For the first time since the public was asked to wear a mask, there was not a mask in sight. I think we may be reaching the public's limit on what they will tolerate when it comes to pandemic regulations.

Just met my neighbor coming out of the grocery store,,. She thinks were all clear because there was hand sanitizer and the toilet paper isle was full,,!!
Here is something that I hadn't thought about. All court trials are suspended for awhile according to a news report that I just heard. Can you imagine what it would be like trying to keep a 6' distance from a couple of hundred unhappy potential juries in the jury selection room? And then the jury's deliberations in a small room for many hours or even days, would be problematical.

But on the other side of the fence (or wall a big, beautiful wall) do the 'innocent until proven guilty' accused still have to stay in the overcrowded lockup/jail/prison?
I understand that around a half a million folk in the US find themselves in that exact position already. Today. Locked up, awaiting trial, never convicted, but in prison. 500000 of them. Crikey!
I'm sure the worlds largest prison industry has set up COVID-safe accommodation for the inmates, social distancing and all
As a side note, I can't think of a more reprehensible thing than a Privately owned corporation running prisons. What does a corporate entity want but, more customers? All they have to do is pay off some senators and they have the market all to themselves. Then pay some more money and have the laws changed to fill their Gulags. Insanity! Immoral and a travesty against Humanity.
