Thanks for the clarification, I thought it was you wishing her well and that surprised me given the tone and content of most of your posts. Whew!

Whew! It was my post, @Warhippy explained it though. Trump recently wished Maxwell well in her court case. Also, apologises for a bit of the derail, should probably be over in the Trump thread.

This was long before HNIC decided to put the delay on Coaches Corner. I saw that.. hilarious. I was about 5 or so and asked my mom "is he allowed to say that?". My mom cracked up and couldn't finish watching the game she was laughing so hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/us/9-year-old-girl-becomes-the-youngest-to-die-from-coronavirus-in-florida/ar-BB176TH0?ocid=msedgdhp A 9-year-old girl in Florida has died from coronavirus complications, becoming the youngest in the state to die from the virus, health officials said. In their daily reporting of new COVID-19 cases and deaths, the Florida Department of Health said Wednesday that a 9-year-old girl was one of the fatalities, the Miami Herald reported. She lived in Putnam County, in the northeastern part of the state, and officials said that she did not contract COVID-19 from travel or a close contact with the virus, meaning it was likely from community spread. Putnam County Health Officer Mary Garcia told CNN that she did not know if the girl had any preexisting health conditions. RELATED: 1,000 Americans Died of Coronavirus on Tuesday, Most Since Early June, as Cases Near 4 Million In Florida, 28,087 children have contracted COVID-19, 282 have been hospitalized for treatment and five have died as of Wednesday night, the Herald reported. Prior to the 9-year-old’s death, the youngest fatalities were in an 11-year-old boy in Miami-Dade County and an 11-year-old girl in Broward County. The child’s death comes just after Florida’s Commissioner of the Department of Education issued an executive order requiring all schools to fully reopen in August. In response, the Florida Education Association, the state’s largest teacher union, filed a lawsuit against Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday to put a halt to the “unsafe” reopening of schools. RELATED: 13-Year-Old California Boy Suddenly Dies After Experiencing COVID-19 Symptoms DeSantis had incorrectly claimed in April that COVID-19 does not “threaten kids” and that there had not been a “single fatality” nationwide of anyone under 25 years old, though there had already been at least five deaths in that age group at the time. As of July 9, 241,904 children in the U.S. have contracted COVID-19, and 66 have died, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics’ count of publicly available data. Nationwide, more than 4 million Americans have contracted COVID-19 and at least 143,100 people have died, according to The New York Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Biden offers, is good, slow, reasoned responses. If he surrounds himself with good people and has a good running mate, it may be alright. What Biden is not good at, is quick thinking on his feet. This is the game plan that Trump is now playing, showing commercials about his gaffes, etc., and this is how he will attack him during the debate. All Biden has to do, at this point, is sit back and poke the bear every once in awhile and cheesepuff will dig his own grave. Make a sarcastic, snarky comment occasionally and Trump will rant himself out of the oval office. I do think too much attention is being given to the presidential race, when it's really the Senate that should be the focus. If they win the Senate and House they can get him out anyway. And if they can't, he's a lame duck president 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody needs some b**ls then it should be the school board that allows cell phones in the school. Mind you, now that we have COVID-19, cell phones can be used for online learning. Until the teacher's back is turned, and out come the texting and videos and games. Sigh....

bishopshodan Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Bonnie seemed to take it easy on the drum circle folk. I'd like her to talk a little tougher. Wonder if she really watched that video? Btw, being a drummer since I was a young kid...I hate drum circles.. sorry for my snobbery but I can't stand hearing a bunch of amateurs sloppy thumping. For me it's like listening to random strangers thinking they sound great singing karaoke. However, I haven't had enough to drink yet so it's not even funny. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong... we had a ski boat and used to like to have fun out there too but a pandemic sort of changes things (or at least should). And, even at the best of times, we had 6 on the boat at once (Sidewinder). I mean, you have to have spotters and be on the ball if you're serious about it. During social distance protocol, maybe have 4 people inside your bubble instead of a dozen tag alongs. When you own a ski boat, there are never any shortages of "those" friends. The ones who show up/ski/drink/leave and we're still loading the boat onto the trailer and unpacking stuff into dark and long after they've gone home.

She's provided opportunity for people to tune it in under a nice approach and, at this point, some people just don't care or get it. It's no secret now in what we all should be doing and it's time for her to up the ante and start being tougher. Because people with no restraint will always test the limits until they're called out. See if they can pull one over...especially since they're invincible and all. And yeah....can we start an opera circle nearby? Maybe it'll drive them out. How about a sax circle...I'm in.

I was hoping at least Horgan or Dix would become the bad cop and get tougher rules in place while Dr. Henry continues her calm approach. The one thing that disappointed me was not closing these clubs and bars. They only adjusted the rules to disallow people from standing up and moving around (which I thought was already disallowed in the first place). I doubt many patrons would go to a dark poorly ventilated place to stay with their group of 6 and drink quietly at their own table. Having been to these bars and clubs in my youth, I was there for other reasons most of which would be risky for Viral spread. Putting in amended rules is one thing. Enforcement is another. In restaurants, most people are there to eat so there is less of an incentive to move around and do other things. Better off closing these places. She did announce a new order on hotels and vacation properties today which is a good start. At least this gives the authority to stop crowds from gathering but again, enforcement is key. 30 new infections today. At least its not 50 right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
