With Texas in its third stage of reopening and new coronavirus cases rising in the Sun Belt of the U.S., recent data from the Texas Department of State Health Services shows consistent increases in hospitalizations across the state.

Reported by Business Insider, hospitalizations associated with the coronavirus in Texas have been rising since June 11, moving from 2,008 to 3,409 by June 20.

Similarly, the testing positivity rate has been generally growing since June 13, reporting at 9.51 percent.

On June 16, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) stated that increases in hospitalizations are not a total by-product of COVID-19 infections.

When I was in grad school, after the mechanized pickers got the tomatoes, farm workers were like used car salesmen calling folks in to glean, 2 days after they'd disc in the fields. Used to go home with shopping bags of tomatoes, a great deal for poor college kids

As a kid in Maine our family would follow the potato digger with the other harvesters - we'd get between .10 and .15 cents per 100# basket.


My back hurts just thinking of those days.

And it's still growing, especially in the county I am in...
 
Looks like everyone is saying fuck the masks where I am too. A lot less of us mask wearers tonight then when I last went to the store two weeks ago. This should work out well, the state is allowing tourists back on the 26th. All visitors are supposed to have a covid test done 72hours before arrival showing negative, but I've heard some wack ass hotels arent going to enforce that, or bother looking at those.

On a brighter note though, I was really happy to see that Rose got a gf and dumped that short legged, no neck, greasy mfer, Ed.

Bright spots everywhere if you look hard enough:razz:

This would be a good time to get him, while the subs are in. My kid and I were joking last weekend that we couldn't believe that no one with nothing to lose hasn't tried to take him out. Just put down the gun afterward and surrender. Fame, book and movie deals, a decade of appeals, and they would be the king of their cell block and a hero to a lot of the country. Just sayin'...

I was drumming up a crass remark but it got political.
Our company sent an email last night telling us to continue working from home because of the recent spike in cases. We have a location in the sf bay area, south bay, and a spot in Florida... oh, satellite office is Texas and a spot in the UK.

I'm glad the CEO gets it.

I'm working at the smoke shop. We're trying to stay as safe as possible but it's still nerve wracking. I don't need that job so I've seriously considered quitting

Pa has gone from green to neutral to orange in just a few days.

3 of 6 people in my daughter's dept at my work are off with flu symptoms, unknown if they'll be tested. Fortunately, they work in separate rooms to keep the dogs calm, and 3 are on their day off on any given day. My daughters were both sick in February and may have had it already. I was around them but they weren't severely ill and weren't coughing or sneezing, just cold/mild flu like stuff.

The store will not make masks mandatory, they're afraid of alienating customers who believe what Trump tells them. Trump has probably been tested more than anyone on earth, just like everyone who gets within 12 feet of him is tested repeatedly.

Cases are rising almost everywhere in the country now, our USA graph appears to be the worst in the world.

Fox news either ignores, brushes over it, says work is more important or calls it a nothing burger. But they are working from home or isolated in separate studios just like the other networks. What does that tell you?

I'm reminded of the old Steeler's coach Chuck Noll who went to the playoffs 10 years in a row and won 4 super bowls in 6 years in the 1970s. Then when everybody got old in the early to mid 1980s, he was asked what happened?
