You post this and get likes, I post something synonymous and my sanity is questioned.  Cool.
My friend, when you come swinging, you get swung back on. And you very often come swinging. 

Some folks come swinging and they get agreed with or kinda passed over. But often the get swung back on. And you sir swing hard.

Welp, WV released its numbers last night and our county is one of 9 in the state in the orange/red so the kids have to start out with virtual learning this week.  My kids were bummed. I was bummed, too. 

Hope next week is better.
Late on this, but sorry my friend.

I've been around some "well educated" people in my time, and it's interesting how many look down on your "average American".  There are exceptions, I tended to like those folks better.  I figure if a person feels some need to look down on another without good reason, maybe they aren't really where they think they are.

Nobody around here of course.
The thing of it is, I'm sure a lot of the people that are being looked down on probably look down on the well-educated or on someone else. I feel like much of the pandemic discussion at large has been people looking down on one another. 

Might just be the human condition to feel very right about the way you do things, regardless of how right you are.

Running down or diminishing someone else is the surest way to try and feel better about yourself.

I suspect we're all guilty.

Florida sux.

Florida is looking better and better. % positives are way down from just a month ago. This is good timing, because we are leaving 2 weeks from today. Soon will be the time when you do not have to be inside all the time. I suspect we will see a big downturn in the Fall. Yesterday was the fewest cases reported in a day since about 3 months. Almost 1/4 of all residents have been tested.

Interestingly enough, Kenosha County is seeing a bit of a spike now.

One theory is the school and Labor Day will cause a rise.  Another is being inside more will cause a rise.  We all hope not.  France is not looking good at all.

Area under the curve?

Has any noticed what happened in Sweden?

The little bar next to us is PACKED, and loud right now, no distancing, folks standing around outside with drinks chatting waiting to get seated.  The tables are as close together as they ever were, and they now have seating outside in the parking lot.

This is where I make a joke that Florida's high concentration of older folks will slightly blunt the burst of school-related cases.

Hospitalizations are way down. Deaths are way down.

I'm not at all in favor of ruling out another spike, but I'm also very optimistic that the worst is behind us down there.

Of course, I'm the guy that thinks half or more of us have had this thing already.

Georgia posted such a low number of new cases today that I figure it's Sunday/Labor Day/etc.  It would be great if it's real, but it was 608.

Hospital use continues to drop steadily, which is of course good news.

France is not looking good at all.  Sweden on the other hand ....
