I unfortunately live in a state with a piece-of-shit governor who kisses presidential ass. He is against a statewide mask mandate and insists schools should be open. Luckily we have a mask mandate in my city and the local public schools are 100% virtual.

His house is on one of my regular running routes. I have been know to stop in front of his house where I know the security cameras are on me and put on a mask. Stand for a few seconds and resume my run.
On my return I stop and repeat.

How do you feel about New York's governor wanting to reopen schools? Funny how when Trump says we need schools to reopen he gets accused of wanting to kill kids but I haven't heard that same criticism against Governor Cuomo.

I am a democrat in NY who is furious with Cuomo about schools reopening. I do agree it’s worth a try, but he is doing it without requiring random covid testing. But cuomo will monitor the situation and shut down the schools when there is an outbreak. Even though I think his plan has danger to it, at least cuomo is willing to trust science and monitor the risk.

The difference between me and you is I will publicly criticize cuomo. The problem with trump supporters is they feed into his constant lying. If trump wins because he lies about Biden being a socialist or Biden being on drugs, it further invalidates the legitimacy of his 
Presidency and his followers. You can’t destroy what America stands for and legitimately call yourself an American patriot. You are not.

if y’all are so good for the earth why don’t y’all come live in the section of it governed by facts, truth and science?

Fauci says it will possibly be "late 2021 before we are back to pre-covid normalcy".

I can't help but wonder how much "normal" life will be again.  I would surely like that, but I can't help but wonder what will be different.

I fear the free samples at Costco may be gone forever.  What kind of new normal is this?!

I was at Costco today and the samples were every where with long lines.

Of course, Taiwan is sane and took the virus seriously from the beginning so life never really changed.

I am envious.  Living is a sane country sounds like heaven!

Nice milestone in Canada yesterday. For the first time since mid March we had zero covid deaths.

^^ Pipsqueak came home from the first exciting day of grade 4 and mentioned her teacher gave out sour rings. I cringed and, on the down low, grilled the poor kid on the process, which the teacher passed. 

Anyone catch the play last week with Ed on the air talking about covid death dreams? Maybe I had a scary one during start but nothing I recall in detail.

I really feel for all of you with extreme weather and fires compounding the troubling times of the pandemic. 

And, Nicky, glad you're hanging in there.

Be well.

 More than 200 meat plant workers in the U.S. have died of covid-19. Federal regulators just issued two modest fines.

If you watched the end of the Cincinnati Bengals game, you know things are getting back to normal.

The Browns stepped into 2020 like it was '19 all over again.

So word on the street is that Trump held a super spreader event last night.

He is now undeniably actively trying to kill people.

Waiting for the Trump defenders to come here with the usual defense that no matter who was or is the president, the results would be the same.

America is a dumpster fire right now.

and it's in violation of nevada's indoor gatherings law. but trump won't pay the price, the owner of the building will (and has before-they also own some hotel in vegas that held some evangelical gathering that was also fined). 

had this been a democrat, the political fallout would be ENORMOUS.

i think the fallout against dems would be more because we expect more from democrats. like we expect them to make the right choices. we expect them to take the high road and not do the things that trump is doing. we have all come to expect the gop to do the indecent things ahead of anything else these days.

these days, yes, but pre trump, i think the fallout would have been equal regardless of party.

I’m on a flight for work.  Have to use company approved travel.  United.  Completely packed plane and very lax mask enforcement. Unfortunately I need the money too badly to refuse the trip.  Good thing Trumps administration has handled the virus so well that things are back to normal in the friendly skies....
