Spent last weekend in Savannah... I would say roughly 2/3 of shops, restaurants and bars were open. I would estimate roughly half of the open shops required face masks. My Jax experience is few wearing masks and fewer distancing...
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

NO social distancing or masks at San Marco La Nop this weekend either - staff nor patrons.

Big long lines running past Maxwell House for Covid testing at Lot J now as well. For those who don't believe they need masks, now may not be a bad time to reconsider when in the locations where social distancing is not a feasible option.

So one of the Mensa members from the Jax Beach Bar Covid birthday party went on CNN and said that their  Mayor and Governor had said " everything was fine".

Apparently I missed a press conference.....

They did not say everything was fine.  They just basically blamed everything aside from things they were responsible for and said they are not going to change anything. So they paraphrased "no need to change anything" into "everything is fine."

Apparently there has been a huge surge in testing the past few days...

AHCA reporting that less than 25% of ICU beds in FL available currently.  Not sure what regular occupancy levels and unsure exactly how many beds are connected to COVID, but here's hoping that outbreak at the beach is contained and those infected don't need to go to the hospital.

Even longer running the opposite direction.

I have never seen the lines as long as they have been these last two days.

Really scary.

This was yesterday when I was driving in.

That video really makes me wish they weren't bringing the Hart ramp down to street level. Just tear it down and let the road be.
So, to the young people fighting in this movement for change, here is my charge: march in the streets, protest, run for school committee or city council or the state legislature. And win. - Ed Markey

That's pretty much what they are going to do. The "new" East Bay Street (Gator Bowl Blvd.) will be four lanes, just like the current one. There will be sidewalks and bikelanes (but no JTA mini-car lanes. The intersection at A. P. Randolph will be an interchange, to bring the remaining Hart Ramp between APR and Liberty Street back to ground level.  The ramp between the Hart Bridge and GB Blvd. will come to ground just east of the WJCT entrance.

This part is the sticking point. We've been over it in other threads, but having that one portion of street sandwiched between two ramps instead of just the one from the bridge makes it more likely that people will just use the ground level portion to speed between the two ramps.

It's normal for ICU beds to be almost full/full, because people typically stay in them for a short time, high turnover.

COVID19 complicates this, because if you are admitted to the ICU for COVID19, your stay likely won't be short, thus taking up capacity.

So, why someone is in an ICU bed is much more relevant than the raw data of availability.
