Just to clarify, the U of Minn. has 50K+ students, faculty and staff The vast majority are on the Twin Cities campus, and within that: most are on the East Bank (east side of Mississippi) then some on the west bank (obviously on the west side, this is also where Ilhan's district is and most of the Somali population) then there is also a St. Paul campus In the article it says masks will not be required like they are in Minneapolis, because the University is allowed to set their own rules here. quote:Gabel reiterated Friday that the university will recommend — not require — that students and faculty wear masks. Because of the U’s constitutional independence, she said, the school does not have to follow the Minneapolis indoor mask mandate, which includes educational institutions.

My back finally stopped hurting and my husband and I got into an argument so I drove to the only place close that wouldn't have people, or so I thought. There was a funeral at the graveyard that I avoided and looked like 25 or so people milling about some kissing and hugging. I hung a left and a good bit down the lane were some random open graves. I'd not seen them leave any open before unattended so of course I took a picture  It was pleasantly warm with a cool breeze and birds were singing

I go to UCF and were a 63k student uni and one of my fall classes has already decided against doing in person because the professor has a million co-morbities lol

Every public high school and university is definitely going to open in the fall because public officials want to get the kids protesting off the street

I have no more money and I'm not eligible for Bernie bucks for some stupid reason because of Medicare or Medicaid or something If I get the virus and have to stop working, or if we lock down without any more money from the government, I'm going to be out on my rear end most likely Whatever's coming will break this country into pieces.

WorldsStongestNerd posted:I just wanted to point out that the mod who gave out this probation is a very stupid person, and is emblematic of the problem the US faces. I 100% agree with this. Kids are wiser than what people give them credit for. My 6 year old daughter can't fathom why people would smoke cigarettes because you'll die from that, and she understands that getting Covid-19 could hurt you forever or kill you. Bullshit probe for a good post and even better advice.

My problem with this is who the gently caress are we supposed to trust? I don't want to be one of those people who "follows their gut". My gut is non-existent. Authority is the only reference I have. Multiple sources are how I determine what is real. How the gently caress does anyone deal with this? How do you know what is real if you have multiple contradictory sources of information and everyone has an agenda? How do you LIVE? Going to war on false pretense is one thing but manipulating science? How do you stop yourself from turning into an equivalent of a flat earther?

At this point my idea is to see what most big medical orgs and national cdc-type outfits are saying. Certainly don't just trust whatever the CDC is saying these days. But of course the actual experts are learning new information about this and how it spreads daily, and there's much they still don't know for sure. But too many people are deciding "better huge unnecessary risk of pandemic death and suffering than mild inconvenience!" anyway

FORUMS USER 1135 posted:Florida's at 2581 new cases for today. I'm seeing more focus on the "positive test rate" lately since pure case counts alone can go up just from more testing. But if we're testing like crazy but not actually doing anything and still getting +25k cases a day across the country, then we're not really making any progress. Is anywhere actually implementing contact tracing yet?

Pump Jockey posted:A personal milestone today: it’s been 100 days since I left my house. Wow, God drat As for forests and stuff , just wear a mask. I haven't seen a single thing about spread being an issue outdoors, but you're absolutely going to walk past people who could have an allergy attack and covid sneeze in your face. I've been living this rule for months and everyone thinks I'm nuts but I'm also the only one comfortable with a mask on at this point since it's not some giant mental burden like it is for most people mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 18:51 on Jun 13, 2020 |

Since I'm in spiraling mode, how the hell do people keep any sort of motivation while living alone? I don't cook, I don't clean, I don't wash my clothes, I don't exercise, I can hardly work. I am spending tons on take out and am getting fatter every day and there's no one to stop me! I moved in recently and still have boxes everywhere, a floor that's broken that I can't find anyone to fix, my curtains are boxes and now I finally got a drill and am making holes in a wall for the first time in 32 years of life and I already screwed this up due to a stepladder being too short and alignment being out of wack. Does everyone go through this sort of thing? How do you learn this sort of thing other than youtube tutorials? Do people magically remember all those times their dads made them watch do boring DIY work?

Multiple sources are how I determine what is real. How the gently caress does anyone deal with this? How do you know what is real if you have multiple contradictory sources of information and everyone has an agenda? How do you LIVE? specifically with the masks thing it's why health COMMUNICATION is such an important discipline within the Public Health sphere and why treating things like the CDC or the WHO (yes I know it's a private entity shut the gently caress up) as even remotely political is hugely dangerous. even small ideological nudges can throw things into disarray, and when you're dealing with an increasingly-uneducated population like the USA said nudges have compounding effects on public confidence, as you're experiencing. I know you're not in the US too, so the... leading authoritative voices on said things being so fundamentally corrupted spools outwards with our idiotic hegemony. the initial "mask" comms debacle can be traced through posts even in this forum: the sublimation of important health messaging to market dynamics. everyone freaks out and wants the Number One Best Protection, which is in short supply and incapable of being distributed to a suddenly enormous new font of demand. so the messaging to reserve N95s and whatever for healthcare providers was critical AT THAT TIME and had to be hammered home somehow. however because the communication and propaganda crafted around this messaging neglected the fundamental problem (profit-driven supply shortages) and because we have the collective attention span of a boogle of weasels, this became canonical. as a public health person (credentialed not practicing lol) it's been incredibly frustrating. Right-wing messaging supports and reinforces itself at all angles. it's like gravity/entropy. it just cascades into itself. cherries jubilee and that's it come on KG lets go
