We FINALLY received our test results taken 8 days before. One person in my house was positive then. By the time we tested again, 1 week later, 3 of us had COVID. If we had known sooner, we would have immediately quarantined. Perhaps the National Guard can help with testing too.

If it takes 8 days for the mayor to get results, I wonder how long the average citizen is waiting?

Israel has seen an uptick in cases: check out the masks on these people--holy moly!!
it won't help below your nose (as an aside i went to eyeglass world because my frames broke: anyway, the lady who assisted us initially had her mask on properly but then put it below her nose: i had to tell her to put it on her nose!) !!duh

Israel, like Florida and Texas thought they had this virus licked and could go back to normal life like going to gatherings, including weddings, hugging and kissing- the virus has other ideas.

Do people not understand the concept of a pandemic and how a virus operates in humans?

I've thought about this too and wasn't Trump jnr girlfriend only tested once she arrived at the Mount Rushmore place? Like they get an instant diagnosis! It is totally not fair X

I’m shocked she didn’t quarantine immediately after testing in case of positive results. I thought that was SOP.

A doctor on CNN said 'delirium and hallucinations' are prevalent amongst some patients. Could this be down to medication because I'd not heard of this as being a symptom before now and so this virus becomes more petrifying by the day! X

I have heard of this. I do remember Chris Cuomo stating he experienced it.

I hope I never get to experience an hallucination. It must be terrifying! Those poor people X

State representative urges Ohioans to 'STOP GETTING TESTED' for coronavirus

One of Gov. Mike DeWine's biggest critics in the Ohio General Assembly has made another incendiary claim in regards to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

State Rep. Nino Vitale (R-Urbana) took to Facebook on Wednesday after DeWine ordered all residents in seven Ohio counties to wear face masks in public. Vitale has long downplayed the severity of the pandemic, and stated he is "tired of living in a dictatorship" amid the continued health guidelines across the state.

"This is what happens when people go crazy and get tested," Vitale wrote. "STOP GETTING TESTED!"

This is not the first time Vitale has raised eyebrows with his bizarre and sometimes false claims about the coronavirus: He has consistently claimed masks do nothing to mitigate the disease's spread despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and stated he would not wear a covering because he believed it would dishonor God. He also frequently attacked Dr. Amy Acton prior to her eventual resignation as health director, calling her an "unelected Globalist" while vowing to fight against her department's orders.

Idiot. Only 41 cases in the county. All employees are mandated to wear masks, daily temp checks, social distance. Maybe 5% of public wear masks. My husband is ready to close doors to customers again. Order by phone, pick up at dock or delivery. We can't expect to keep our low number of cases if everyone ignores the risk.

Oh no. It is the healthcare workers who are needed the most.

How did that happen? Staff should have been wearing proper PPE? It didn't work?

Yes, he definitely said he had hallucinations.

Very interesting article. What stood out to me is the bottom line.


As for those who refuse to wear a mask, Toner doesn't mince his words.
"They will get over it," he says. "It's just a question of how many people get sick and die before they get over it."

This guy did. He's a sheriff AND the coroner, hence the "epiphany".
A California sheriff mocked the state's stay-at-home order. He changed his tune when COVID-19 cases surged

In mid-May, Merced County Sheriff Vernon Warnke had a lot to say about California’s stay-at-home orders to slow the spread of the coronavirus, none of it good.

He posted a defiant message to Facebook saying he refused to enforce the state’s orders because they meant “economic slaughter” and he believed government had no right to tell him or anyone else it was too risky to get a haircut or dental checkup.

“I truly believe that Governor Newsom’s motivation is to have the majority of the citizens (and illegal residents) dependant [sic] on governments assistance so he could maintain this control once this ‘pandemic’ is declared over,” Warnke wrote.

Two months later, with cases spiking and Merced County now on the state’s coronavirus watch list, the sheriff has changed his tune: “Wear your masks, do your social distancing, wash your hands. ... Please take it seriously.”

Warnke, who also is the county coroner, highlighted two recent COVID-19 deaths: A 29-year-old man who “hemorrhaged to death” and a man in his early 40s who had a sudden onset of symptoms, then quickly died of a stroke.

I guess seeing 29 year old bleeding to death can change someone's mind real quick. But if everybody took it seriously from the beginning, maybe we wouldn't be having 29 year olds bleeding to death from covid.

Well, let’s hope and pray that the 3 weeks between next week’s CDC guidelines announcement & Florida’s school reopening dates will actually be enough time to properly implement the support.

I'll join you in the hoping and praying, but it's not. Just like the rest of this pandemic handling - no planning, no assistance, last minute decisions, and administration leaders speak to the public like we're the servants they grew up having. All-caps tweets, dismissiveness, threatening tone, total lack of regard for what the people need to do this right. Just get it done and get over it and don't involve me, and say nice things about me, too.

US admirals in South China Sea: Everyone wears a mask

"We've taken extraordinary measures to protect our sailors from Covid, but that said it remains a real threat and requires constant vigilance," Rear Adm. George Wikoff, commander of Carrier Strike Group 5, led by the USS Ronald Reagan, said Wednesday in a phone call about the South China Sea deployment.

"The entire team underway, everyone on board, is required to wear a mask," Wikoff said.

The Navy has also spaced out mealtimes, instituted social distancing and brought aboard specialists including microbiologists and extra health personnel, said Wikoff and Adm. James Kirk, commander of Carrier Strike Group 11, led by the USS Nimitz.

"Those measures have all been effective, and we are sailing Covid-free right now," Wikoff said.

More than 1,000 of those Covid-19 cases were among the crew of the Theodore Roosevelt, which was left tied up in Guam for weeks in the spring. Smaller outbreaks were reported among crews of both the Reagan and Nimitz, but Kirk said the Navy turned that situation around.

"The strike group has remained Covid-free since early April," Kirk said Wednesday.

That makes me smile. I hope you all enjoy - you paid those taxes to subsidize it, so eat well
