This is your warning.
Just in case someone needs a reminder.

Yep and made some mad as if you lived there but were not in the county when they ordered it closed you had to apply for a permit via an appt which required a test for the virus before they would let you come home.
Currently they are reporting 7 cases

My county (Autauga) got 5 more cases today. Pretty big jump considering we were on 12 for almost a week.

A spokesman for the company that operates South Haven Health and Rehabilitation in Hoover said 19 staff members and 17 residents recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Joe Perkins, a spokesman for Northport Health Services, said 13 of the staff members showed no symptoms. They only came to light because the facility chose to test all residents and staff members after two workers fell ill in March.
Perkins said the company has taken an aggressive approach to COVID-19 by implementing broad testing and isolation for infected residents. Early on, they received special permission to test people without symptoms, despite early state policies that restricted the criteria.
As a result, he said patients and staff have fared well. The asymptomatic employees would not have been detected under requirements that limited screening to people with fevers.
“We would have just known about the six people who had symptoms,” Perkins said.
Studies have shown that some people contract COVID-19 and never develop symptoms, unknowingly passing the illness to others. Perkins said the company adopted widespread screening to detect those cases and prevent further spread.
“When this virus gets into a facility, any facility, it’s very tough to get rid of it,” Perkins said.
Residents who have tested positive have been isolated and are receiving extra care, he said.
“All of this looks very promising for the people that have contracted it,” Perkins said.

That’s bad and will probably result in even worse.

Additionally, I have insulted no soldiers. Nothing could insult them more than dying in Iraq for no purpose beyond war profiteering, nothing could insult them more than the family's compensation after their death, and nothing could insult them more than the VA medical system.
Unless you serve you have no clue. The only insult I have seen on this board is from criticizing a country you no longer want to be a part of and now the men and women who served for what they believed.
And in regards to the VA system you want to criticize I would not be alive today if not for the VA. I am happily married and the father of five beautiful children with out the VA I would have none of that and be buried in a grave forgotten somewhere. So go frick yourself with you unrealistic political view of the US and your made up fallacies because you are the only poster I have truly seen on this board that is brainwashed by your beliefs.
So again please save your spiel and go frick yourself if you think any death at my hand in your eyes is murder. The only insult to anyone that has ever put on a uniform for this country are people like you we fight for as well. So please stay out of this country you so much hate.

While I don't like hearing of anyone catching this mess I especially don't like hearing about these nursing homes.
In NC this week I believe close to 200 residents and staff have tested positive including 83 at one facility.

New order today from the governor.
quote:
Gov. Roy Cooper said he is signing an executive order to place new "social distancing" rules on retailers, starting at 5 p.m. Monday.
Retailers will have to take the following steps:
Limit the number of customers inside at any one time to 20 percent of allowed capacity under fire regulations, or five people per 1,000 square feet.
Maintain 6-foot separation between customers at checkout lines and other areas where customers congregate.
Routinely disinfect stores.
Retailers also are encouraged to take the following steps:
Limit aisles to one-way traffic.
Install plastic shields to separate cashiers from customers.
Set aside specific hours for senior citizens to shop.
Make hand sanitizer available for customers and staff.

Agreed! Hope it sticks for both of the comrades! Just one more! Did anyone ever hear if Geneva County test was confirmed?

Just saw that on the link. Thanks. Should have checked before asking a dumb question!

I'm not advocating he do it, and I wish he wouldn't do it, but if the medical community comes out and says "you know, this stuff really does work," Trump's press conference will be one for the ages.
