Field of Dreams (Iowa) MLB game news: No postponement announced for MLB game at Field Of Dreams
I've counted about 30 people out walking, walking their dogs, bicycling past my house this afternoon.
No social isolation being practiced. No masks at all.
Good question. Snips:I just thought of something.....
Will the wearing of face masks be banned in court and other government buildings?
I can see why they would be.

IMO the health workers need both as they are working indoors in close contact with known infected patients. The general public in an outdoor environment are much less likely to be infected. In an indoor environment maybe yes, as Germany have required. Have any US states mandated masks to be worn either indoors or outside?Face shield is not to replace the mask, it's an addition to the mask. If you look at health workers wearing face shields, they also wear a mask. Face shield offers splash protection, but it doesn't seal your face like N95 mask does.
I guess that explains Hong Kong success where 97% wear masks."Among the findings of their research paper, which the team plans to submit to a major journal: If 80% of a closed population were to don a mask, COVID-19 infection rates would statistically drop to approximately one twelfth the number of infections—compared to a live-virus population in which no one wore masks."
If 80% of Americans Wore Masks, COVID-19 Infections Would Plummet, New Study Says

You?I went to the dollar store. I bet there were 20 people in there. ONE person was wearing a mask. Guess who?

So can someone previously asymptomatic become contagious and what makes that happen?BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese authorities reported on Sunday what could be the beginning of a new wave of coronavirus cases in northeast China, with one city in Jilin province being reclassified as high-risk, the top of a three-tier zoning system.
Jilin officials raised the risk level of the city of Shulan to high from medium, having hoisted it to medium from low just the day before after one woman tested positive on May 7.
Eleven new cases in Shulan were confirmed on May 9, all of them members of her family or people who came into contact with her or family members.
The new Wuhan case, the first reported in the epicentre of China's outbreak since April 3, was previously asymptomatic, according to the Hubei provincial health commission.
The 89-year-old man had not left his residential compound in Dongxihu district since the Lunar New Year in late January. His wife also tested positive, though she showed no symptoms, the Wuhan municipal health commission said.
The residential compound has had 20 confirmed cases, and experts say the new infection was mainly due to previous community infections.
After the case was confirmed, medical officials have carried out nucleic acid tests on residents of the compound and found five asymptomatic infections.
The infections highlight the continued potential for new clusters of infections due to carriers who do not look ill or have a fever.
On Sunday, the risk level of Dongxihu district was raised to medium from low.
Northeast China hit by coronavirus infections, Wuhan reports new case
I live on the 8th floor of an 11 story building. We have 2 elevators and only 2 people are allowed on the elevator at a time. We all wear masks and are very careful. Some of us are in the vulnerable age group. A man on my floor passed away and we cannot find out what he died from. He was elderly and not found right away. Needlessly to say, it is a very stressful situation here. He had not seemed sick a week or so before. Neither our Association or building management have told us anything.
I am in Louisiana and our parish has been hard hit. Our first case of Covid-19 actually came into our parish from another one. Then it just seemed to snowball. We are still on lockdown here and do not know when that will be lifted. I've only been out once and that was to go to the grocery to pick up groceries that I'd ordered online.
Family is spread over different states and we are all over 60, but fortunately none of us have gotten sick with this virus.
I live alone and it is just like groundhog day! If I didn't have my phone and my computer I would be stark raving crazy by now. How are others living alone coping?
I appreciate all posting about how it is in your area. I would have never thought we would be going through something like this!
