Hope you get better soon. Do you have family and/or friends nearby to help get you through this?

You were a 39-year-old 4th-grader?

I'm also mulling over the camp issue. My daughter is scheduled for a two-week camp in late July/early August, and she's been looking forward to it for months, more so since she's effectively been under house arrest since Spring Break. Yesterday her camp announced that the summer sessions will proceed as planned, but they're working on particular safety precautions to augment the CDC/State of Texas guidelines. They also generously modified their cancellation policy, and we can now get a full refund if we cancel at least 48 hours before the start of her session, which is a big deal because the camp cost $3,300, nothing to sneeze at. So I'm going to see how the first several weeks of the summer shake out, both with earlier sessions of this camp as well as the Austin area, and will make my decision in mid-July.

Does anyone else flip flop almost daily about how cautious you and your family should be? And I see it potentially starting to strain relationships around family that are on one extreme or the other. The point I just made over lunch to my wife when we were discussing this is honestly nobody should judge anyone's decisions as far as staying secluded or venturing out. There are reasonable positions on each side at this point.
So far my ex-wife and I are of like mind in each exercising caution by not venturing out to restaurants, barber shops, gyms, retail stores, etc., at least not for several weeks until we get a better understanding of how the re-opening of Austin shakes out.
But on Saturday I went over to a friends' house for a socially-distanced outdoor happy hour (which turned out to be closer to five hours than one). We stayed six feet apart, they wiped down their lounge chairs, I brought my own alcohol, and when I had to pee I went at the edge of their backyard which borders a greenbelt instead of using their bathroom. We're likely going to do that again, regardless of whether the City and County lift the prohibition on gatherings outside of the household. I know many others are doing that as well, and I have a feeling my ex is not too keen on that. And I'm sure she wouldn't approve of my dating during quarantine.

That was a basically worthless article with quotes from people shopping. Pulitzer Prize worthy.
No shit. I was waiting for some insightful opinion or analysis. This was just day-in-the-life of white folks at The Domain.

I live in Atlanta and while there are more people out, the restaurants that are open are pretty much empty. Still a lot of masks in the grocery store. Still people are being cautious. Not much different than two weeks ago in the city.

I think 2 weeks is just where you'll either see it's working or another spike will occur.
But why two weeks? Why do we think everyone in Georgia is now rushing out to dine in restaurants, go shopping at retail stores, go into the office, etc.? What if there's a significant amount of Georgians who were waiting initially to see whether bodies lined the streets in the first two weeks before they changed their behavior, and now that the first two-weeks' data is out, more folks venture out, and then we see some sort of spike?
I'm not necessarily disagreeing that the two-week point is a good indicator of success, but I just want better reasons to buy into that, and I'm not seeing that in the articles I've read so far.
Edit: Fair point that I get, @GRHorn. But I think there could be a difference in the number of people "seeding the economy" during the first two weeks, and the number of those folks in the following two or three weeks. Oh, and I'll let you lead the dick-sucking charge.

So after being somewhat reopened for two weeks the Georgia numbers still look pretty flat. There was a snafu with the numbers one day that pissed a lot of people off but that’s over.
The Georgia story is all over the headlines this morning, and rightly so. If an aggressive reopening with proper safety requirements don't result in a significant spike, that's great news for all of us.
But I'm cautious about the numbers, so here are my questions: Is two weeks out a good measure of success? In other words, there's going to be a gradual delay of the masses venturing out after retail, restaurants, workplaces, etc. open up, and with additional delays of transmission, symptoms, testing, and outcomes, do we really have an accurate picture of how Georgia's aggressive opening will pan out? Will another two weeks give us a better picture? I ask this as someone who is anxious--no, desperate--to break free from this fucking holding pattern.
I'll hang up and listen.

Not math - just a dart thrown in the general area of an estimation. Interested to see what others guesses are. (2017 cancer deaths in Texas were just over 40K per CDC/NCHS. I would guess that number is closer to 42K for 2019 based on overall trend)
Don't underestimate the number of cancer cases caused by this thread alone.

I dare you to find a legitimate source that thinks the actual number of US Coronavirus deaths are closer to your "certified" number than his "bogus" number.
Fine, elguapo. Let's just say it's a plethora of deaths.

Is that Eric Stoltz in his MASK makeup lower right?
Melanie Hutsell. Wasn't on the show for that long and hasn't done much since, but she had some funny moments (good impressions of Jan Brady and Tori Spelling). She was pretty good in Bridesmaids.

He really was. His deadpanned delivery of Weekend Update was how that bit was meant to be played. Unlike Jimmy Fallon, who couldn't make it through the first 30 seconds without giggling.
