Los Angeles new daily infections hit a new high of 3,300 in 24 hours by worldometers metrics. After July 4th LA posted 3,900 one day but it was a 2-3 day back up. For a week LA was posting a steady 2,400-2,600 daily cases.

Edit: LA posted 2,500 in the most recent 24 hour period after ~2,800 and 3,300 the two days before.

Newsome has been better than some, but it was a mistake when he allowed LA to be a part of the first phase in, when LA was still too much a mess. Looking at Imperial County now, I suspect it would be another county that shouldn't have phased in, but I wasn't following it as I was LA.

In his press conference yesterday, Garcetti said he was expecting new numbers to be given to him today, so look out for his press conference today if so. We had previously reduced the transmission rate to about 1.01 but when answering a question he alluded to expecting a 1.12 in the new numbers.

Recently I saw a poll from Canadians. And around 80% of them don't want the US-Canada border opened up anytime soon. Can't blame them.

Honestly, look at this: https://tinyurl.com/yaguj9n5

^^^^ Who would've thought Americans would be unwelcome not only in Canada but around the world.

If Trump wins a second term this country will come close to becoming a autocracy. That's Trumps plan. It's so obvious.

We can't let that happen.

REGISTER, GO TO THE POLLS OR VOTE BY MAIL, PLEASE VOTE

It is, but its also the most Republican. And the Republican party is becoming the party of conspiracy theorists.

Many don't believe masks work. That is starting to change, but political partisanship often overrides logic and education.

Four months before the presidential election, Ivanka Trump, adviser to her father President Donald Trump, is promoting a new ad campaign dubbed, "Find Something New."

Aimed at helping unemployed Americans find new careers, the initiative launched Tuesday with a virtual roundtable hosted at the White House featuring Ivanka Trump and business leaders, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, and a reveal of one of the ads, a 30-second spot with a handful of people telling their employment stories.

"Now, as a result of Covid, people need to, unfortunately, in some cases learn a completely new skill," said Trump on Tuesday during the launch. "But that is also an opportunity to be put on for a new trajectory for themselves and their lives and we want to facilitate that connection back to the workforce and make it as smooth as possible."

Brilliant. No tangible solution, just a bromide. And while Ivanka is it, she should tell the opioid addicts, "Just say no."

Just saying no is extremely difficult. Opioids attack the nervous system. From my understanding they are similar to heroin in that sense, they cause physical pain when trying to withdraw.

Pres. Trump says that the LA school district’s plan to begin the fall remotely is a “mistake.”

Asked what he would tell parents & teachers who feel unsafe going back:

“You should find yourself a new person whoever is in charge of that decision because it’s a terrible decision.”


Seriously, if you vote for this person you need your head examined.

There's totally nothing shady about this, right?

Administration Orders Hospitals to Bypass the CDC With Key Virus Data

Quote:
The Trump administration has ordered hospitals to bypass the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and, beginning Wednesday, send all coronavirus patient information to a central database in Washington — a move that has alarmed public health experts who fear the data will be distorted for political gain.

The new instructions are contained in a little-noticed document posted this week on the Department of Health and Human Services’ website. From now on, HHS, and not the CDC, will collect daily reports about the patients that each hospital is treating, how many beds and ventilators are available, and other information vital to tracking the pandemic.

The first COVID-19 vaccine tested in the U.S. revved up people’s immune systems just the way scientists had hoped, researchers reported Tuesday -- as the shots are poised to begin key final testing.

“No matter how you slice this, this is good news,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert, told The Associated Press.

The experimental vaccine, developed by Fauci’s colleagues at the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., will start its most important step around July 27: A 30,000-person study to prove if the shots really are strong enough to protect against the coronavirus.

ADVERTISEMENT
But Tuesday, researchers reported anxiously awaited findings from the first 45 volunteers who rolled up their sleeves back in March. Sure enough, the vaccine provided a hoped-for immune boost.

Those early volunteers developed what are called neutralizing antibodies in their bloodstream -- molecules key to blocking infection -- at levels comparable to those found in people who survived COVID-19, the research team reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“This is an essential building block that is needed to move forward with the trials that could actually determine whether the vaccine does protect against infection,” said Dr. Lisa Jackson of the Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Institute in Seattle, who led the study.

There’s no guarantee but the government hopes to have results around the end of the year -- record-setting speed for developing a vaccine.

The first COVID-19 vaccine tested in the U.S. revved up people’s immune systems just the way scientists had hoped, researchers reported Tuesday -- as the shots are poised to begin key final testing.

“No matter how you slice this, this is good news,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top infectious disease expert, told The Associated Press.

The experimental vaccine, developed by Fauci’s colleagues at the National Institutes of Health and Moderna Inc., will start its most important step around July 27: A 30,000-person study to prove if the shots really are strong enough to protect against the coronavirus.

But Tuesday, researchers reported anxiously awaited findings from the first 45 volunteers who rolled up their sleeves back in March. Sure enough, the vaccine provided a hoped-for immune boost.

Those early volunteers developed what are called neutralizing antibodies in their bloodstream -- molecules key to blocking infection -- at levels comparable to those found in people who survived COVID-19, the research team reported in the New England Journal of Medicine.

“This is an essential building block that is needed to move forward with the trials that could actually determine whether the vaccine does protect against infection,” said Dr. Lisa Jackson of the Kaiser Permanente Washington Research Institute in Seattle, who led the study.

There’s no guarantee but the government hopes to have results around the end of the year -- record-setting speed for developing a vaccine.

So how long until this is mass distributed and we’re back to normal?

It is, but its also the most Republican. And the Republican party is becoming the party of conspiracy theorists.

Many don't believe masks work. That is starting to change, but political partisanship often overrides logic and education.


Actually, it's not even in the top 15

1. San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, CA
2. San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA
3. San Diego-Carlsbad, CA
4. Santa Rosa, CA
5. Sacramento--Roseville--Arden-Arcade, CA
6. Santa Maria-Santa Barbara, CA
7. Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, CA
8. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA
9. Vallejo-Fairfield, CA
10. Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA
11. Fresno, CA
12. Stockton-Lodi, CA
13. Salinas, CA
14. Modesto, CA
15. Bakersfield, CA


And many of the most educated in OC are amongst the most idiotic. Education has nothing to do with this.


Nice find, though no way would I have guessed that the later half of these would be more educated than Orange County.

I wouldn't know, but I'll hazard a guess: Late Q1 2021. Phase 1 was administered to a small population of volunteers beginning in mid-March for the duration of one month , and the news release just came out today. That's four months. Phase 3 will be conducted on a much larger population of volunteers (30,000) who will once again take the vaccine twice over a nearly 30 day span, beginning in late July. That means they'll have the results in late November. If that goes without a hitch, Moderna will have to mass produce the vaccine. That is an unknown, though they'll undoubtedly be prepared to ramp up production and distribution, which will likely take us well into Q1 of next year.

I have no idea what constitutes "normal" from that point in time.

Look at the source material. #8 is orange county + LA county lumped together.

So you don’t think spring 2021 college classes will be in person? I was hoping the entire population would be vaccinated by the end of the year...
