The gov of WA stated this is a white supremacist move to kill all gays and blacks.
Funny I didn't know that it could tell skin color nor sexual preference.

What will New Yorkers think after two months of the strictest lock down in the USA, bearing the fruits of a flattening to declining COVID-19 curve, becoming re-infected into a 2nd lockdown by someone travelling into the state from a current high risk state?

You have made statements in this thread inferring it could tell dems from reps.

RV sales and rentals are booming, with demand swelling in recent weeks.

Enthusiasts say the vehicles are thriving because of social distancing concerns. Air and train travel have become less appealing. With an RV, there's no need to share a hotel elevator or airplane bathroom, and meals can be prepared inside the vehicle.

Jon Gray, CEO of RVShare, laid off 10% of his staff in March and furloughed 30% of his remaining employees. Business started to pick up in mid-April as states loosened travel restrictions, and he's since brought back all the furloughed workers, and sales in the last week are more than double the same period last year.

A competitor, Outdoorsy, said its bookings last week have grown 300% when compared with the same period a year ago. Airstream's parent company, Thor Industries (THO), said this week that demand for its products are "very strong."

Airbnb, the home and apartment rental service reported a surge in bookings for the summer. Airbnb revealed that it had more US bookings between May 17 and June 3 than the same time period a year earlier. And it appears the momentum is continuing: Last weekend (June 5 through 7) gross bookings grew year-over-year for the first time since February.

CEO Brian Chesky said he's noticed travelers are preferring to stick to drivable destinations within 200 miles of their home and that customers are booking stays for one week or longer because of the shift to remote working.

"Work from home is becoming working from any home," he told Bloomberg News.

Coronavirus Sparks Global Wave Vaccine-Preventable Disease Outbreaks | The Daily WireThe New York Times.


A type of the poliovirus has popped up in over 30 countries. Nearly 20 countries are reporting outbreaks of the measles. Bangladesh, Cameroon, Mozambique, South Sudan, and Yemen are all reporting outbreaks of cholera while Pakistan and Nepal are recording cases of diphtheria; Bangladesh is reporting outbreaks of both.

For months, doctors and experts in the United States have worried that state shutdowns and fear of contracting COVID-19 would suppress immunization to the point that diseases almost entirely eradicated would make a comeback.

I hate to be cynical but I wonder if big pharma is, instead of looking for a cure, is looking for a treatment so they can treat this virus forever instead of curing it once.

That is what they have done with HIV. It goes with the old saying "Who wants to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?" But then how would you test a vaccine for HIV? Inject someone with the vaccine, what a reasonable time for it to be effective and then inject them with the live virus.

The only ones I can think of would be those on death row in prisons who have exhausted all other appeals. But then again capital punishment is rapidly disappearing.

Re: Latest on the Corona Virus

Read something yesterday about an android update that includes the covid tracking framework not the app itself as you can see from the screenshot, and sure enough its installed on my phone.
Mine is a Samsung S9 see if you have it in settings search for covid

Dont know how you find it in apple phones



All a bit late really considering the non essential shops opened last Monday and the UK's NHS tracking app is still not ready for use.
