It looks like the Case Positivity rates in Florida is starting to come down, but is still high. Texas is still up over 15%. My prayers go out to everyone involved. Those are two states where things may get worse, before they get better, from a mortality standpoint.

Thankfully, new cases, fatalities, and hospitalizations have been dropping in Texas for three straight weeks.

A quarter million people, mostly maskless and packed together indoors and out, who will soon scatter to every state in the nation. Seems pretty newsworthy to me.

I'm surprised to not see much on the news about it. Unless they went there and more people than not had masks on.

Didn't even realize that was this weekend. Thought it was still in the future.

"The Mid-American Conference, after receiving medical reports about myocarditis and other problems associated with the coronavirus, was the first FBS conference to postpone fall sports on Saturday."

As long as the people in Sturgis protest, loot, riot and burn shit they'll be fine. They get a free pass.

Flew back from South Dakota Saturday. Pretty much only large chains require or "appreciate" mask use. Getting off plane heard a few talking about hating being back in "mask-land" and wishing they were back with those South Dakota people where they don't need masks. My plane was about a third full of people coming back early from Sturgis.
It will be an interesting "experiment" seeing what effect on locals this has.

Saw an article yesterday saying that 60% of the town said they didn't want the event this year when asked by the town council, but they went through with it because people were going to show up anyways.

Chris Jericho’s band will be performing. No word, as of yet, if Tony Khan will discipline him.
