The director and other employees at my work have received death threats because we refuse entry to anyone entering our building (it's a county building) without a mask. Have health issues and cannot wear one? We won't make you but you can't come in. Lunatic calls and leaves messages to employees about how we're anti-trump and sheep and we're going to catch a bullet after work or at our homes. Luckily, because it's a county building, we have numerous deputies in the plaza.

Fun part is that I had to work the lobby entrance this week at various times. I only had one person that tried to enter without a mask. I explained the policy and offered a free one if he needed it. He said he could put up with for the short time he was in the building so he took it, wore it, did his business and then left.

Really sorry you are going through this - have you guys traced the calls?

I know the police were notified and there was a number on the i.d. when he called. It traced back to a hotel 60 miles away, from my understanding. I'm more worried for the building's director as her information is public record. I'm hoping they have a patrol out at her house after work just in case. It's a crazy time. Could be nothing will come of the wacko caller while some random middle-aged woman that gets told she can't come in without a mask will suddenly pull out a gun.

In all fairness, outside of the city's facebook page with a few outspoken individuals make their views clear, many people in the city seem to be on board with the precautions being taken.

And thanks for the thoughts. :)

I haven't heard any update, but I doubt they traced the calls. Maybe they have something in place if he calls back though. I agree, the guy needs to be locked up.

a lot of people thought summer would slow it down... nope. you really gotta wonder if it ever goes away. a vaccine would be the miracle cure right now and its probably years away. this is the new norm get used to it folks

What makes you say that? Even the experts are saying a vaccine is likely to be approved by the end of the year. Positive results in the early trials for a few of the candidates. But it will probably take another several months after one is approved for it to be avaiable to the general public.

And if you look at his twitter history he was downplaying COVID-19, bragging about not wearing a mask, and swearing that a second wave was a hoax.

Jeez, even with the reclassification, things have gotten so much worse since I last posted about it a week ago. With the new classification, most was yellow, but they've all changed to red or deep red now.

A week later update.

NJ and CT now yellow. Too close to NY. Not liking this.

How so? It looks like the densely populated areas + current hotspots are wearing masks. There's really no reason for many people in Wyoming or Montana to wear masks when their case counts are negligible.

My county doing better last few weeks. No longer lead California in cases per capita for the past few weeks, although since it started we still the worst hit per capita. We averaging about 75 cases a day. When before getting 300+ cases in a day was the norm. We are talking about a county with 180k people. To be getting as many cases as whole states? Thats crazy

Turns out it was Umatilla county that had the top spot the other day, not Union.

Umatilla county also demoted back to a stay at home order for 3 weeks.

Health director, IIRC

City council voted unanimously for it earlier this week or last week too but Governor pRicketts is still threatening to withhold COVID-19 aid money from any county that issues mask requirements.

What's his reasoning for the threat? I'm In Georgia and the governor issued a ban on any cities/counties issuing mask mandates, saying "We trust people to do the right thing" (since that worked with texting and driving /s)

Hey guys let's just say you're in an argument with someone that is denying the severity of Covid with things like "just the flu" "if there was a vaccine it would be even less than the flu" and "the cases are only looking so bad because we're testing more"

What statistics, numbers, and just basic things can you point out to dismantle the claim and try to get it through their head?

I'm just wondering cause I've sorta found myself in that situation.

You could point out the positivity rate being higher, which would happen regardless of testing 100 or 10,0000
