    Great...so a lot of these Californian morons will be coming up north, ruining it for everybody. I'm still pissed our? governors don't just shutdown their borders. It's quite simple: stop any vehicle with an out of state license plate. If they can't prove they are essential, slap them with a $2,500 fine. If people arrive out of state through air, then force them into two weeks quarantine, just like Hawaii is doing. I for one think this is way overblown, but if shutting down the borders keeps the states open for the most part, I'm all for it. Nobody really wants Californians anyway.

    Hearing there's no sales tax in Oregon and their gas station attendants even pump the gas for you!

    Still no touching flagsticks or rakes in the bunkers though, so we’re safe there.

    it's not like you actually raked the bunker correctly anyways...

    I imagine Inslee will eventually do the same.

    Probably. Trends are moving the wrong way.
    Are they?

    I get that cases are increasing but so has testing. By default, more testing was always going to lead to more cases ... including asymptomatic cases that we were never picking up initially.

    The key stats to me have always been death, hospital capacity, and ICUs available for the most sick.

    I'm fully resigned to the fact that life isn't going to be normal until at some point next year after there's a solid vaccine option available. I know that the balance of life is going to be at home, being very careful at who you associate with, maintaining distance as much as possible, and enjoying golf while I can.

    But I'm not going to say that I'm super worried about 20 year olds in general getting the virus ... they will be fine.

    The spike in cases is almost assuredly coming in part due to the protesting in June and the spread tied into it. It never made sense to me how we have been so diligent about maintaining space, sports shut down, etc. etc. but when it came to massive people gatherings for protest and related activities that was all ok. I'm not saying that protests and the right to assemble, freedom of speech, etc. isn't important so don't twist. I'm not saying that I'm not recognizing instances of police abuse and social justice so don't twist. But the uptick in at least some level makes a ton of sense given the events.
    The rate of positive tests is too high here and most places.

    How so?

    If it doesn't clog the hospitals or stack the dead who gives a fuck?

    Do the attendants stack bodies like cordwood between fill-ups?

    Boy I wish we had something to protest about so we could put the Vid on the back burner.

    I'm willing to protest for social justice at Husky Stadium on say, Sep 5.

    I guess I'm curious what you consider to be "clogged" or how we should interpret commentary from people who work at hospitals. I read a news blurb today from the Republican mayor of Miami that said hospitals are "at their peak" and are at 91-92% capacity and that staffing has become an issue. I'm no hospital administrator, but that number seems like it could cause problems. Is it all COVID? No, probably not, but I don't imagine COVID is helping.
