New York authorities halt wedding expected to bring in 10,000 guests amid pandemic

See this has nothing to do with politics.  These are a bunch of religious nut jobs.  I would say poor people who have poor access to health care and the religious nutjobs (and the US leads the world in the number of people who believe in that garbage} are likely more responsible for COVID deaths than any politicians...

Yes, Trump is a shitty leader and is plenty responsible...but at some fucking point adults need to act responsibly...

You blame poor people more than you blame an administration that is actively spreading dangerous misinformation to the public?

Really? 

I didn’t blame poor people.  I blamed your shitty healthcare system that leaves poor people behind ...

A shitty healthcare system which is in place because of... politicians (and their corporate donors who put profit ahead of people).

If you want to blame the American voter for not electing better politicians, have at it, but letting politicians off the hook who have been lying to the public since day one is asinine.

Trump didn't bring coronavirus to America, and he isn't the reason why so many Americans lead unhealthy lifestyles, but he absolutely should be held accountable for his endless lies and conspiracy theories.

We're 8 months into this pandemic, and they still haven't come up with a nation wide testing or tracing program. THAT is a direct fault of the federal government for which they should be held accountable.

yeah me too. rumor going around is some of the large hospitals are looking at shutting down elective surgeries again. that would screw me for hitting quota this year. all we have to do is distance and wear masks and parson refuses. i voted against his fat ass today.

Went to the doctor on Friday for a really bad sore throat, turns out I needed a covid test.   let me say that the test is easy as hell, the strep test they gave me first was far worse.   Covid test came back negative but I had to miss a day of work because the results didn't come back soon enough.  (got them around 10:30 am this morning)

Must of been the ice. And there’s your preventative cure everyone, glass(es) of Cabernet with ice.

I love it! lol
Been drinking pinot grigio minus the ice.  You would be proud!

Ah great, now I know what to do with my sore throat...   Thanks for that!

Hope you are staying healthy!

Btw, do you (as a teacher) have to take a second test to confirm the first one?

I got two tests: the rapid test (got a call within 30 minutes) then the more advanced test.  I needed my results from the advanced test in order to go back to work.  Found out the advanced test results about 10:30 this morning.

  Ah ok, but both tests the same day? We have to take a second test 5 days later to confirm to be negative.

So yesterday I took a day off bc I felt a little sick over the weekend. Today I went to work and they said I sounded sick. Just very mild symptoms that normally shouldn't be thought about.

Well, I went home for my colleague's safety and am now waiting for a call to my doctor. I'm not allowed to appear there, I've heard that someone has to pick up the tests for me and I have to do it myself. ??? ... could take 4 to 5 days to see results and that means I will be quarantined for the rest of the week.  uhh

I plan on doing the same when I vote today. He’s a joke.

As for shutting down, both MO and KS are inching back towards that. I have a feeling it will happen soon.

yep, we had a conference call today with management saying they are hearing that hospitals and surgery centers in MO may shut down for the next couple of weeks. they told us to "brace for it". my company said that they will do a little quota relief for any of us that are impacted. i hope it doesn't come to shutting down, but i think we have to because our state government and our people outside of major city suburbs refuse to do anything to try to get a handle on it. so frustrating.

City of Uppsala (just north of Stockholm) is advising stricter measures (first city to do so, since the new plan of local restrictions) to people living there -- Avoid communal travel, avoid visit stores etc and avoid parties (big student city).


- We see a very unnecessary and worrying development in October, where it has risen rapidly, says infection control doctor Johan Nöjd.

Ireland will be the first EU country to return to coronavirus lockdown, Prime Minister Micheal Martin said Monday, issuing a nationwide "stay at home" order but insisting schools will stay open.

Measures coming into effect for six weeks from midnight on Wednesday will see all non-essential retail businesses close and bars and restaurants limited to takeaway or delivery service only.

Only essential workers will be "permitted to travel to work," he said, and citizens will be allowed out to exercise only within three miles of their residence.

Wales will impose a two-week "fire-break" lockdown from Friday in which everybody apart from essential workers must stay at home to combat an accelerating second wave of COVID-19.

Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford said he understood that people were tired of coronavirus restrictions but tougher rules were essential as critical care units were already full.

"It will have to be sharp and deep in order to have the impact we need," Drakeford told reporters. "Everyone in Wales will be required to stay at home."

Had another nasal swab earlier for an upcoming procedure.

Not sure why they had signs posted saying “No photos or videos allowed”.

all medical information is and should remain confidential. imagine the instagram hashtag nonsense that would come out of this, and possible corona-shaming, if people were allowed cameras in the swabbing area.

you aren't supposed to photograph or film medical workers doing their jobs. people used to try to film me all the time when I was pulling pins out of a kid's elbow or cutting off a cast. even doing post op wound care. If something goes wrong that is evidence that can be used in court.

i hope the procedure goes well!

Me too, thanks!

That makes sense, although I was hoping to snap a shot of myself mid-swab and teary-eyed
