Come on down to the clean south and have a beer.**** no. I am not some huge fan of sitting at bars with strangers anyway, I prefer to drink at home with friends. But especially not now. Having a drink ain't worth the chance of getting sick or getting my mom sick.
I live in Warren County, Kentucky and we have had 5 Covid19 deaths. Warren County has 132,896 people as of last year (it may be down to 132,891 now!). 5 divided by 132896 yields a whopping .0038%.Come on down to the clean south and have a beer.
Just got back from a week at my sister's house in Louisville. 3 of her neighbors have a combined 5 kids who were all in one yard playing together and being happy kids. It was good to see. We rode bikes to New Albany, Indiana and sat outside a bar having drinks and you could hardly tell there was a pandemic. I visited another Louisville friend who has two kids and his wife told me I was the first "outsider" that had been in their home since this began. We all had a nice/stress free time and nobody was afraid to give hugs or possibly drink from the same glass.
I was in Chicago for three weeks before heading to Louisville, and things are turning towards "normal", but still a lot further away than Louisville. My girlfriend's building still requires masks when entering or leaving. Traffic on the expressway in and out of Chicago was not a jammed up as it would normally be, but it was a lot heavier than it was in April.
As others have said, it depends on where you live.

I will buy you a drink MrBaracus.Yep. Not remotely worried about this souped-up cold virus at this point.
Hail Satan!I will buy you a drink MrBaracus.
You have to be a good guy or otherwise I could not argue with you the way I do.
God bless you.
Are the number restrictions based strictly on the Ro guess? For example, mathmatically how many people could potentially be infected if one person in a gathering of 25 is positive---and how many people those 25 come into contact with afterwards?We enter "phase 2" of lifting restrictions at 5 PM today in North Carolina. Restaurants can serve at 50% capacity, but bars, salons and gyms cannot open for 5 more weeks. You can now have indoor gatherings of up to 10 people and outdoor gatherings of up to 25 people. But the beaches have lifted all restrictions minus the 10 per group and 6ft distance guidelines. People haven't been "staying home" around here except for the first few weeks of this pandemic.
You think you could and just limit the volumn, or do you think you'd just fall off a cliff?I don't drink anymore. But how shit is going, I'm thinking of getting back in da game..And yes, I would. This ****in virus has cost me enough already
Your guess is as good as mine.Are the number restrictions based strictly on the Ro guess? For example, mathmatically how many people could potentially be infected if one person in a gathering of 25 is positive---and how many people those 25 come into contact with afterwards?

Off a BIG cliff. I quit 8 years ago; May 17th. Being an alcoholic sucks..You think you could and just limit the volumn, or do you think you'd just fall off a cliff?
So bert made a non political comment and you found a way to bring politics into it. GotyaIt was more of a reference to Bert claiming his area isn’t affected while Western Kentucky has one of highest concentration of infections in Kentucky, but roll with it as you will.

Have read that before about time in proximity. Appears to be biggest factor in things I’ve read.Hah hah hah hah! I've taken like that EXACT same photo a dozen times... got the same hammock, and sit there and drink and read
In terms of how it spreads, it really depends. There was a great piece, I can't remember where I saw it, but it discussed several different... AH! I just found it!
So, a biology professor from UMass-Darmouth with a background in infectious diseases wrote this analysis of a number of case studies... it seems that air flow, coupled with the length of time that one spends in air that contains covid, plays a big part in what your chances are of getting it.
He specifically uses a restaurant outbreak, a restaurant outbreak, a workplace outbreak, a choir practice outbreak, a birthday and funeral outbreak, and and sporting event outbreak. I haven't read it in a week or so (going back to re-read it, now that I've gotta start gathering information to be on this damn school reopening committee) but IIRC it depended a lot on of there was enough fresh air, how air conditioning and the like moved airs indoors, and how loudly/with how much projection people spoke. Basically, if you are in lots of fresh air and people aren't being loud, you are in good shape, but if you are indoors in a place for a long time, or in the path of airflow from someone who is sick, you are much more at risk.
It looks long, but is a quick read, and worth reading if you are interested in which sorts of places and situations seem to lead to spread, and which don't.

Nice yard. That brand of hammock sucks though. It turns you into a burrito. No Bueno.
Tough when info changes by the dayBTW, my principal is going to regret me being on this committee... I'm the only one looking up information for a committee that hasn't officially been recognized yet, and DEFINITELY the only one sending him work emails about it at 10:30 on a Friday night
