    effects of extreme social distancing

     

    New X Games event?

     

    What is the difference between extreme social distancing and social distancing? 6 feet versus 8?

     

    Social distancing is social distancing.

    practice some common sense precautionary measures 

     

    Like social distancing. But not XTREME SD.

    Bottom line is that over half this nation doesn't give a flying bleep about politics and they want NONE of it infested into their sports whatsoever.

     

    This is just a fact of life.

     

    I would counter your theory (Not a fact) with another - a small percentage of the nation can't stand when politics enter the realm of sports and that small percentage of people complain loudest when it happens.

    9-year-old Florida girl dies from coronavirus

     

    PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. (WSVN) — A 9-year-old Putnam County girl has died from the coronavirus, according to Florida Department of Health records.

     

    The girl’s death was counted July 18.

     

    The girl’s case was not travel-related, and she did not come into contact with a known case. It is also unclear if she had pre-existing conditions that made her vulnerable to the disease.

     

    The girl is the youngest known fatality from the virus in the state.

     

    The girl’s death follows the deaths of two 11-year-old children in Broward and Miami-Dade from the virus. Their deaths were reported earlier this month.

     

    The FDOH reported 10,249 new cases of COVID-19 on Thursday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the state to 389,868.

    Where did you read/hear this? I think you are making up this rumor to make a point. 

     

    *Some idiots on Twitter made it up Timmy

     

    Good catch. it's actually Republican Senator Rick Scott whose grandkids will stay home

     

    https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article244442472.html

     

    Gov. Ron DeSantis said his children, who are too young to attend school, would be going in person if they were old enough.

    Sen. Rick Scott said his grandchildren will not attend school in person.

    And Sen. Marco Rubio did not say if his children would attend classes in person when asked by the Miami Herald, but said he wants to see Miami’s community spread decrease in the coming weeks before students return.

    :beer: Appreciated, and noted. 

     

    Though it IS hilarious Gary has moved to a new screen name (again) after being embarrassed (again) :lol: That's his third in less than a year.

     

    People who aren't embarrassed of their record down here don't have to do that -- yet he does. Says all you need to know about him. 

     

    Coming from the dude who had at least 2 user names banned during your "break." Nice!

     

    @Winston Zeddemore - when are you coming back from timeout?

    Since I missed that day, it's hilarious that people don't understand your point above -- and blew right past the set up question which was asked. The reporter asked 45 if he believed GM was going to expose "powerful men" with the material in her possession. That's the endeavor for which Trump was wishing her well. 

     

    Here are the actual quotes.

     

    Reporter: A lot of people want to know if she’s going to turn in powerful people. Do you feel like she is going to turn in powerful men? How do you see that working out?

     

    Trump: I don’t know, I haven’t really been following it too much. I just wish her well, frankly.

     

    Trump responds "I don't know" to the question, then wishes her well, frankly.

    Yeah, hope I break 90 too, here in Florida they want to open in a few weeks but it's the teachers union that's fighting that. I don't know of any state that has a 10% positive rate, but really only know about Florida

     

    The state you live in - Florida - has cities/counties with a much higher than a 10% positivity rate. That's a big reason why the union is fighting that. The article below is 2 days old.

     

    https://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/20200722/coronavirus-florida-health-officials-see-hints-of-progress-as-rates-of-new-cases-positive-tests-dip

     

    However, the percentage of Miami-Dade County residents testing positive remains high, signaling that the virus is spreading rapidly. On Wednesday, it reported that 16.7 percent of the 16,565 tests were positive.

     

    While still far above the 10 percent rate sought by state health officials, it is the lowest positivity rate Miami-Dade has recorded in the last two weeks.

     

    The state of Florida hasn't been under 10% since what looks like June
