RIP summer.
Oh man, oh boy… I mean oh woman, oh girl… damn it, I mean oh gender neutral person of a more advanced age, oh gender neutral person of a less advanced age, we sure are in a pickle here in the United States of America.
Our birthday is coming up and this Covid-19 business was supposed to be in our rearview mirror. We were supposed to be going to bars and restaurants, movie theaters and beaches, celebrating the defeat of taxation without representation but here we are right in the middle of a pickle.
It appears the second wave of the Coronavirus is much more insidious than the first wave and now we are in some twilight zone of anger, worry, pointed fingers, recriminations, etc.
A bright spot, I suppose, is that I’ve gotten used to wearing my mask, spreading fear like Bane in Batman.
Pretty cool.
An ugly blot is that beaches are being re-closed, namely in Los Angeles County and right before a heat wave is going to hit the region.
Per Barbara Ferrer, the county’s director of public health, “Closing the beaches and prohibiting fireworks displays during this important summer holiday weekend was an incredibly difficult decision to make, but it’s the responsible decision to protect public health and protect our residents from a deadly virus. The Fourth of July holiday weekend typically means large crowds and gatherings to celebrate, a recipe for increased transmission of COVID-19.”
As you well know, the World Surf League CEO Erik Logan lives squarely in the middle of Los Angeles County, on the beach and likes to paddle around on an undersized canoe. He will be very sad.
Do you think he will pack up his paddle and undersized canoe and drive south to Orange County? It would be rude of him so to do. But, honestly, isn’t Huntington Beach going to take the brunt of roving ELos and Inland Empirates?
I’d imagine so and I’ll imagine that pictures of packed Huntington Beaches will garner such tongue wagging that San Diego County beaches will quickly re-close too.
Huntington will, of course, stay open.
But what are you going to do this weekend?
Go to Sizzler?
When was the last time you went to Sizzler? When I was a younger boy it represented the very height of luxury and reserved for only the finest, fanciest occasions.
RIP salad bars.
Molecules?
Amazon?
Crass cuntiness is the state of our country thanks to the racist in chief – glad to see you now are realizing that.
not amazing…people get infected , show symptons , go to hospital , get treatment /ICU then people start to die…….just like is starting to happen..1250 deaths so far today starting to spike!
Thank you for your service!!
If the richest fucking country in the world cannot shut down for a little bit, it speaks to a much larger problem. Save some money for that rainy day. Everyone should have 4-6mos of emergency savings. Not my problem for the irresponsibility of others. If they starve, its their own fault – quite spending money you don’t have.
Here in FL it’s mostly younger people w/virus. May 5th they were packed into bars elbow to elbow with no mask. Also, deaths lag pos tests, so we will not know for a bit the entire impact. The spike just happened.
Health experts and Goldman Sachs disagree. Wear a mask.
It’s younger people getting infected. Also, deaths lag infections. They are no longer going down. http://91-divoc.com/pages/c…
surfing a rivermouth in mainland absolutely going off…. for three days.
began to lose weight rapidly and could not eat normally for 6 months. still deal with the acid reflux today from ’90.
But we would stop and eat em 100% of the time.
What’s really important as far as stats is concerned is seeing the downward trend for death rate. I think people should be less concerned with infection rate when death rate is going down. That’s all I need to see to know that Trump has done well in his response, especially the actions only he took in January. Specifically the China travel ban. Same travel ban Biden called xenophobic.
The Salad Bar was our wet market… Nostalgia.
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
I am officially selling my BG comments to cure Covid 19.

PS we’re rich!!
Big deal, Fourth of July shuts down – does America really have anything to fucking celebrate this year, anyway?
nothing, but we are entitled to gluttony of any kind and you can’t take it away from us or we will attack you with a gluttony of either Tweets or WMD’s.
depends how you respond to the Tweets.
Yes. Celebrate not speaking with a bloody English accent, and not being coasteering bloody Brits.
They could celebrate that you aren’t there?
bexy, you really don’t think I have feelings, now do you?
Couldn’t resist

“I heard yesterday…….”
Some of the finest conspiracy theories start with those very words.
Or ‘I saw on youtube…’
MIT study today, 88.5 million cases, 600,000 deaths… .67% about 3-4 times the flu. but we shut our whole world down, rather than just setting some rules, and lets get back at it.
Some AWAKE reporting right there!!
BLM is the more racist than Calvin Candy.
are you serious?
