In WV the governor is now allowing elective surgeries and barbershops/beauty salons are allowed to open back up.

My kids are officially finished with school this Friday but for all intents and purposes are already done.  They didn’t send any additional packets home for this week for them to complete.

My nephew, who goes to public school, has been doing snow day packets since this all began.  For some reason it has been determined that those won’t be graded and he was mailed a big packet to complete in the next ten days so that he (and I’m assuming all the kids) will have assignments to be graded.
I work in education and I know West Virginia schools are underfunded and behind the times, but that is awful.

The people being "out and about" is vastly over generalized, at least around here.  Not much has changed on the ground.

I'm not being forced to dine out, which is good, because most places are still closed.
The Phoenix area has a lot more people out and about, anecdotally.  Most have masks on.  But yes, people seem to think it's mostly behind us and/or they're tired of being home.

It is clear that the epidemiologists have no idea what they are talking about. From all the models I have seen produced by them even the best of them has way overshot the what has happened.
Lack of testing!

NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D. — The Mayor of North Sioux City, Randy Fredericksen, tells Siouxland News that he is going to resign Tuesday.

Fredericksen said he is not happy with the way the vote on reopening North Sioux City went Monday night.

During that city council meeting, the council voted 5-3 to reopen businesses in North Sioux City.

Mayor Fredericksen says he is "dead against it" and wanted to wait until next Thursday to see if the number of cases of COVID-19 in South Dakota and Union County start to decline.

"I feel we are letting the people down, my phone rang off the hook to have this closed, at the time that we closed it, I thought we did the right thing and held the numbers down," he told us. "Right now the whole state of South Dakota and Iowa is a hotspot."

Businesses in North Sioux City, which include casinos and restaurants, can start to reopen at 50% capacity starting today.

Cool scene.
I think that's the Brooklyn Bridge, so that would be looking from Brooklyn, across the "East River" (which is not a river at all but a channel between Long Island Sound and New York Harbor) into Manhattan.
If you were looking from the Jersey side, you'd be looking across the Hudson, which is a truly beautiful river once you get upstream a bit.
The producers/editors should have caught that film was set during the Civil War yet John and Washington Roebling didn't finish the bridge until the 1880s sometime.Washington served in the "Late Unpleasntness" and was at Gettysburg

Uhhhh... well... did you watch the scene?  It's showing the development over time.  At the beginning of the scene, there is no bridge.  By the end, all of Manhattan is built up, including the World Trade Center towers which were actually destroyed before the movie was released in 2002.

I"m seeing youtube videos on FB featuring this Judy Mikovitch lady.  Save yourself the trouble, she is .... um .... not mainstream.

But she has a PhD ....  as if ...

The amount if "misinformation" coming out today is astounding even for these days.  It's all a conspiracy, and Bill Gates is the guiding force apparently.

I am reading some seriously bizarre alien level nonsense being fomented by a fair number of people.

This thing appears to have been "out" before any of us in the West knew anything about it.

If so, with this level of contagion, it was inevitable it would spread rapidly before "we" knew anything useful about it.

Bill Gates, the Bilderburgs, the Tripartite Commission, the Woods folks, Rothschilds, just about anyone who is fairly well known.

It is the problem with most models. They are based on assumptions (hopefully educated assumptions, but assumptions nevertheless). 

Your model is only as good as the assumptions and it is obvious from the terrible performance of most of the models that underlying assumptions were wrong. 

There is a place for modeling, but to shutdown an entire economy based on them since way beyond reasonable. 

Again I am not saying that there isn't a pandemic, I am saying we should have treated just like we treated those in the past. Self-isolate if you are in an at risk group. Shutdown hotspots to help stop the spread. And overall ride it out until herd immunity does its job.
