    This was April of this year. "Virginia Gov.

        How to Select, Wear, and Clean Your Mask | CDC



        • Wear masks with two or more layers to stop the spread of COVID-19
        • Wear the mask over your nose and mouth and secure it under your chin
        • Masks should be worn by people two years and older
        • Masks should NOT be worn by children younger than two, people who have trouble breathing, or people who cannot remove the mask without assistance
        • Do NOT wear masks intended for healthcare workers, for example, N95 respirators
        • CDC does not recommend the use of gaiters or face shields. Evaluation of these face covers is on-going but effectiveness is unknown at this time.

          Effective this Thursday, three large Canadian cities, are going back into full COVID-19 lockdown for 28 days.

          Very disappointing news for many.

            CDC OVERRULED
            Robert Redfield, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was overruled when he pushed to extend a "no-sail order" on passenger cruises into next year, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the conversation today in the White House Situation Room.

            Why it matters: Cruise ships were the sites of some of the most severe early coronavirus outbreaks, before the industry shut down in March. And their future is just the latest disagreement between Redfield and members of President Trump's team.

              Florida reported a spike in COVID-19 cases just days after allowing restaurants and small businesses to fully reopen

              Florida's health department recorded 3,266 new coronavirus cases on Tuesday, a massive jump from 738 new daily cases it recorded on Monday.
              Florida's cases had been declining, but Tuesday marked the highest single-day total since September 19, bringing the state's total count to 704,568.

                I asked my doctor when the pandemic would be over. He said "How would I know? I'm not a politician."

                  Out of 1.8 million children ages 1-15 attending day-care and school, there were zero deaths from COVID19 and only a few ICU hospitalizations.

                  more children have died from the flu this year

                    Here in the communist state of California our grand and glorious dictator Gaven Newsom (News cum or New scum) has ruled that the entire university system be virtual instruction with the exception of a few science labs that require safety equipment that the average student does not have in their homes. That includes all University of California and California State University campuses. If a Professor, lecturer, tutor, student assistant, etc are not allowed on campus. If they find that they need something from their campus office they have to get permission from, in order, their department chair, their school dean of instruction, the campus provost and campus president.

                      Everything should be open. Good job Florida for finally reopening. Coming from a state that didn't institute any kind of lockdown, opened schools on time, and has the 7th lowest numbers in the country, it is hard to watch other states destroy peoples' livelihoods with continued lockdowns/ restrictions.

                      As for the schools thing;
                      “While anyone can get infected, children have lower mortality risk from COVID19 than from the annual influenza. This is true even with open schools,” Dr. Kulldorff said. “Sweden was the only major western country keeping schools open during the height of the pandemic. Out of 1.8 million children ages 1-15 attending day-care and school, there were zero deaths from COVID19 and only a few ICU hospitalizations.

                      “I just did some research and found that more children have died from the flu this year than from COVID-19,” Bhattacharya said. “I’m baffled that some people find that controversial.”
                      Yep baffled that You still promote BS.
                      Sweden's Covid19 Sucks BTW most death's of any neighbor.
                      Glad you think even one kid death is Ok knowing that Yes kids can get , transmit and die from Covid 19.
                      Ps Covid19 will be considered a Preexisting Condition.

                        Science VS Fiction

                        Kids can carry coronavirus in respiratory tract for weeks, study suggests

                        (CNN)Children can carry coronavirus in their noses and throats for weeks even if they don't show any symptoms, which might explain how the virus can spread silently, researchers in South Korea reported Friday.

                        "In this case series study, inapparent infections in children may have been associated with silent COVID-19 transmission in the community," the researchers wrote in a new study.

                        Interestingly, this study aligns with adult data in which up to 40% of adults may remain asymptomatic in the face of infection," Dr. Roberta DeBiasi and Dr. Meghan Delaney, both of Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC, wrote in an accompanying editorial. Neither was involved in the research.

                        "In this study, the authors estimate that 85 infected children (93%) would have been missed using a testing strategy focused on testing of symptomatic patients alone," they wrote.

                        The study comes out at a time when the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been criticized for changing its guidelines on asymptomatic testing, which the American Academy of Pediatrics called "a dangerous step backward" in a statement on Friday.

                          Lockdown Protest Pops Up in London as UK Re-Tightens COVID Restrictions

                          Refusing to go gently into the not-so-good night of another wave of COVID-inspired lockdowns, British protesters took to the streets in London on Saturday.
                          Resistance from the police, who whacked protesters with batons, was matched with scorn from London Mayor Sadiq KhanBBC reported.
                          Police said nine officers were hurt and 16 people arrested in the second weekend of anti-lockdown protests, according to Reuterssocially distanceBoris Johnson unveiled new restrictions on Tuesday that he said might be in place for six months.

                          Johnson ordered pubs, restaurants and entertainment venues to shut down at 10 p.m, according to The Associated Press. He also called for an increase in working from home.

                            Furthering my point about cities/ states that still have lockdowns and restrictions while others do not (or have not),
                            How unfair is it that some states/ cities are going to absolutely go down the drain from these restrictions? I hate to see it. People worked hard to get where they were at, and with the Draconian measures put forth, have nearly lost it all.
                            Talked with a relative who lives down in Florida, and he was absolutely ecstatic that they are in full reopening mode!

                            Up to half of bars and restaurants in New York City may be forced to close permanently
                            costing the city more than 150,000 jobs, according to the New York Post.

                              we had one of the best barbers and two eateries close down due to Gov Pooper (D-NC) stupid shutdowns... HIS favorite restaurant in Raleigh remained open and is PACKED every time I go past it.. no masks (per his mandate) no distancing ...

                              there are many businesses that have shuttered for good.... just not his favs.

                              he marched with protestors NONE were wearing masks... but we tried to hold a rally at the "Mansion" and were turned away.. 95% were wearing masks and SD practices were being observed.. then the next night during the 'peaceful protests' 15 businesses were a smash n grab situation.. they had photos of the culprits .. and refused to prosecute the ones caught.

                              IT'S ALL POLITICS .. nothing more nothing less.

                                within six months after having been devastated by the coronavirus lockdowns.

                                An audit released Thursday by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli revealed that a third to half of the establishments that comprise one of the city’s key industries could shutter and never return, costing the city more than 150,000 jobs, according to the New York Post.

                                What a shame.
                                FLORIDA not fully reopen but what you know.
                                Many county's still have Mask mandates.
                                People can't be fined but businesses still can be fined.
                                Lots of restaurants are still maintaining the 50% capacity do to slow business and safety. Major theme parks are still operating at reduced capacity.

                                There's more but don't want to overload you with Facts.

                                Enjoy. its all about the tax revenue
