The news today said that the church service had 100 attenders who kept social distance. Unfortunately, there is no rule that churches have to keep a list of attenders so they can be traced. But 40 out of 100 seemed to me a significant number. I wonder if they were singing. And I imagine there must have been more than one positive person in the crowd.Germany has been easing the restriction. They have a good health system. Rules are still to keep a distance, have sanitizer available. The first cases are mow showing up. A Baptist congregation has 40 new cases after having a service despite social distancing. A restaurant owner had an opening ” test drive” evening resulting in seven new cases, including him, and consequently 50 contact people now having to go in quarantine.
German officials say this was to be expected.
The curve is not really flattening in some areas, but they are going ahead with more opening, probably for economic and political reasons. Lots of demonstrations in Berlin every weekend.
However, it was just one person visiting several night clubs who infected 100 in South Korea....The news today said that the church service had 100 attenders who kept social distance.

Yes, and all the rubber gloves and one mask per day per person in the hospital. I have been keeping the masks if they weren’t too wet, thinking that germs will die in a couple of days and there will be another wave- thinking we will be asked to wear masks in public.This is something that's been bothering me. More plastic. Plastic bags are back as we're still not allowed to use reusable shopping bags. I ask for paper if I can but sometimes they're just busy and don't ask and I forget to. No more travel mug refills. Paper cups with plastic lids. More disposable non biodegradable wipes instead of reusing cloths that might harbour germs - that didn't worry me before. And buying what's available - because the employees only put a few in demand things out at a time regardless of make or packaging - even if the packaging is too much plastic. Most of the proper germ killing products we are told to use are not environmentally friendly and they tend to use more non biodegradable plastic packaging vs the natural stuff that comes in glass, cardboard, tins, biodegradable pouch packs, etc. And/ or they're made by multinational companies. More take out food from those supporting restaurants, rather than dine-in dishware - more 1 person to a car. More disposable gloves and non recyclable or compostable masks. All those things have been bugging me.

Or he's not really taking it.Newest US studies showed that taking HYdroxychloroquin as treatment for Covid increases the chances of death by 46%. I am suspicious that Trump’s prescribing physician is either secretly a Democrat or a ( russian?) spy.

All - nearly all - of the outbreaks have been in nursing homes and the median age of death is in the 70s or 80s.
I'm of two minds - I want us to stay safe - but at some point I agree that we need to take risks. Depending on where one lives. Careful risks, not excessive risks.
That all crossed my mind too. Medical waste is huge. So many disposables.This is something that's been bothering me. More plastic.

Everyday waste, too.That all crossed my mind too. Medical waste is huge. So many disposables.
The age of deaths is older. That's what we need to worry most about, is people dying. And if that's happening at nursing homes something needs to change there, not everywhere indefinitely.The median age is actually 50.

I am surprised, kimmio, usually YOU are the one pointing out ageism in other people’s comments.
