Riverrat: And of course the liberals are having a fit over it. But if the numbers and medical professionals support opening the state then it's time to do it. People need their jobs.

UncleJesse: I hope everything goes good, but the below data shows it won't: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Friday lifted all restrictions on businesses statewide, pushing the state, which has long been a coronavirus hotspot, into its "phase three" of reopening. Florida has more than 695,000 COVID-19 cases and a 13.38% testing positivity rate, according to Johns Hopkins University. ....DeSantis said moving to phrase three of reopening would aid economic-recovery efforts, ensuring "business certainty." But according to the World Health Organization, positive rates should be at or below 5% for two weeks before a state can safely reopen

Fleedle: I'm nervous about it as well as people are idiots but the 13.38 positivity rating is waaay off. It's been under 5% for the last 10 days and just bumped above 5%........https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2020/09/22/florida-breaks-10-day-streak-of-covid-19-infection-rate-below-5/

Fleedle: Theres definitely going to be an uptick in cases.

UncleJesse: I buy 3M N95 masks from eBay, that's the best thing to wear when you have to go shopping\etc indoors.

Fleedle: welp we all didnt die
