Memorial day saw some massive breakdowns in social distancing.

Memorial day here in Monterey was bigger than things have been but still pretty quiet.

I used to surf a lot and I would pee in my suit every single time and so does every other surfer and anyone who says they don't are likely lying. It gives you about 3-5 seconds of blessed warmth.

Extrapolating on this, everyone I played water polo with and swam with in high school in college peed in the pool, even the girls.

The clock starts again from the day the protests started, I think we're going to see a significant surge of deaths 5 weeks from that weekend.

It's human nature to just think nothing bad happened if they didn't develop a cough following this weekend, so I think the spread is going to be significant.

What do others think?

FTFY.

On a related note, I knew some divers who dove in wetsuits who used something like that to warm up the inside of their wetsuit as they were getting into the water.

Nobody wanted to be around their wetsuits once they had dried. :rofl

Everybody who skis, surfs or dives in a wetsuit pees in it. Anyone who says they don't is lying.

I never did.

But, I switched to a dry suit several weeks after getting certified. Was living in NH and diving in Maine, the water was in the 40's.

We will see what shakes out... all these things add up.

To exactly what is TBD.

Coronavirus hospitalizations rise sharply in several states following Memorial Day

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas surpassed 2,000 hospitalized coronavirus patients for the first time Tuesday, but Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said "everything remains largely contained" as the state prepares to lift more restrictions this week.

It marked the second consecutive day of Texas reporting a new high in hospitalizations, which Abbott has described throughout the pandemic as one of the most important metrics he follows. Seventeen new deaths and 1,600 new cases were also reported, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services.

As the number of new coronavirus cases continues to increase worldwide, and more than a dozen states and Puerto Rico are recording their highest averages of new cases since the pandemic began, hospitalizations in at least nine states have been on the rise since Memorial Day.

In Texas, North and South Carolina, California, Oregon, Arkansas, Mississippi, Utah and Arizona, there are an increasing number of patients under supervised care since the holiday weekend because of covid-19 infections.

data > information > knowledge

These stories reflect tests, results, and parsing those results. But it starts with tests. Possibly more states will report as their results come in, assuming they are also testing.

Or is there something else that you are trying to infer?

everyone has claimed 2 week spike, its 2.5 almost 3 weeks meow

id expect every state/county to have some kinda streamlined testing going on by now, i mean its middle of June, not March 2020. Like the 48 hr turn around blah blah they were all tooting their horns about.

I was expecting like 1/2 the nation to glow red, guess not.......also our local county/city has some more data that is kidna shocking.

Oh? What kind of data?

Sonoma County residents who identify as Latino or Hispanic — accounting for more than 27% of the population — are now statistically about nine times more likely than their white neighbors to become infected by the coronavirus, county Health Officer Dr. Sundari Mase told the Board of Supervisors on Thursday.

“We know where the transmission is happening, and we’re reaching out,” Mase said in an interview. “Even though transmission is happening, and it’s not a good thing, we know exactly who to test and where the secondary cases are.”

“Now that we have a much better idea about COVID transmission, where it occurs we can use a much more targeted, evidence-based strategy to our shutdowns, as well,” she said.

This disease (like many other infectious diseases) spreads in close quarters, which obviously means it's going to spread faster in impoverished communities due to both living conditions and working conditions. Why is that surprising to anyone and why does the media think that people don't already know that poverty sucks?

As Marvin Zindler used to yell at the end of every one of his news reports 'It's Hell to be Poor!'

 

[FXCLM5]

Why is that surprising to anyone and why does the media think that people don't already know that poverty sucks?

its not surprising, its astonishing that our city emergency officials would not disclose it until the county sherriff made a huge ol stink saying he aint gonna enforce sip until we get more info on OUR LOCAL outbreaks

do note, we had a sip since 3/18 but this info was not disclosed till mid june..... and it was literally witin 24hrs of the sherrifs tyrade

Poverty aside, Hispanic/Latino family units often go beyond immediate family members. So it’s normal to spend vast amounts of time with cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents. Being Hispanic and growing up in NM to me being with my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents was a normal everyday thing. It was normal with all of my friends too. I had a few white friend growing up and that was not the case in their household. Culturally it makes perfect sense for an increase is cases among certain communities regardless of socioeconomic status.

It is one of the same reasons why there was so much spread among the Italian American community in the NY/NJ area. Large, extended families that interact on a daily/weekly basis.

You just made that up. :laughing

I just made that up? It's been widely reported upon. Remember that family in New Jersey that lost five people and had about a dozen sick that made the news? While the most tragic, it was not an isolated event.

I'm Italian and still have ties to that area, where I grew up. It has impacted many large Italian families that way, as they tend to have large extended family groups that stay close to each other and spend a lot of time together. Growing up, our entire extended family of 20+ people got together every single Sunday for a large midday meal and stayed all day through an early light dinner. It's very common and, early in the pandemic, it contributed to the spread among families in the NY/NJ area.

Brazilian and Greek families are like that too, it seems to be a Latin culture thing to treat their elders better and spend more time together as an extended family than most other cultures do.
