A second employee where my mother lives tested positive. They are on pretty tight lock down and no resident have gotten it.
a couple of employees at my dad's home have also tested positive over the past few weeks (in a community with just 26 known cases) and thankfully none of the residents have contracted the disease - they are very careful... visiting is starting up again so I hope they remain very careful

This story/report from the CDC is very interesting as it shows the power of masks!!! Two hairstylist, both worked with COVID while wearing a mask and none of their 139 customers where infected.

My county, San Mateo, was the best county in the state. but we just went over some limits and it looks like we are going to have to close up again.
That said I am a bit concerned about the mis-calculations of cases/deaths. It gives the naysayers ammunition.

France is to make masks mandatory in enclosed public spaces from next week, and not from 1st August, as was originally announced.
So many people have been slack and have stopped wearing masks.

mom still wears hers at work. I can’t imagine having to wear a mask while unloading a truck. She does that for 11 hours but people can’t wear a mask to a store when they get food

Lockdown has led to an unprecedented surge in alcohol problems, with four in ten households drinking more than before.
Women in particular have turned to the bottle during the pandemic and 53 per cent have upped their alcohol intake, a major survey reveals today.
Experts said many parents have increased the amount they drink to cope with the stresses of childcare and home-schooling since March.

The results - published in the Lancet journal on Monday - show they induced strong antibody and T-cell
immune responses for up to 56 days after they were given

Yesterday, the show Last Week Tonight was mostly about conspiracy theories. A topic that we used to spend way too much time on.
I really liked the show and if you can get it - watch it.
At the end of the show, they promoted a website they created, The True True Truth. It is supposed to help you learn to talk to conspiracy nuts.

This is the creepy statistics for covid in the country this summer (from Jun.1st to Jul.22nd).
Today they reported about 5848 new cases. Dinamics is not as optimistic as everyone would want to see, but, at least, we don't have 11000 new cases daily, like it used to be in May.
Nevertheless, my city is the most contaminated, even compared to Moscow! Because in Moscow, new cases have significantly decreased, but in SPb, there are still about 185 new cases every day, which is a lot, compared to 600 cases in Moscow which has 20 million population. And SPb has the highest mortality rate in the country.
Yesterday, a shocking news came, and now we (our choreography department) are discussing it. Our bosses haven't even heard about it yet. In a nutshell, SPb's mayor, Beglov, gave an order that 10%(!!!) of employees in culture and education should be fired. (Not furloughed, but fired). *total facepalm*. Everyone is ****ing scared now. Even i am scared.
Our economics is screwed up, like every economic systems on the planet. They confess, that we're in the midst of a tough crisis at the moment, and it will be worse. This crisis and economic recession is the worst since post-Perestroika times. In case if someone doesn't know what Perestroika is:
Daily statistics of new cases for the whole country (Jun.1st-Jul.22nd):

I don't know. It could be anywhere. For some reason, it looks like NY to me.
My neighbourhood Yoga studio invited me to there test classes, they provide a bamboo mask that is reusable. They have an online live daily class which I haven't tried yet, so that will be included in a $50 CDN for a month package. Really looking forward to Yoga class, I do some at home on me own.
