kingofsurrey Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Saw this on twitter..... Beijing’s population is 21.5 million. 100 new cases in past 5 days. Closing schools, testing everyone & locking down. BC has pop 5.1 million & 50 cases over the past 5 days. Response? Only test 971 people, still no masks in schools & look to next phase of opening the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Beijing only has 100 new cases in the past 5 days, I've got the Fraser street Bridge to sell you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday reportedly said he won’t stop economic reopening efforts as the state recorded its highest daily increase in coronavirus cases in a single day. “We’re not shutting down, we’re gonna go forward,” he said at a press conference, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. “We’re gonna continue to protect the most vulnerable.” The Sunshine State on Tuesday tallied 2,783 new instances of the coronavirus — the fourth time in six days a record number of cases was met https://nypost.com/2020/06/16/florida-gov-says-state-will-keep-reopening-amid-coronavirus-surge/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
