That the drug blocks an enzyme is good but maybe adjust the chemical formula or geometry of the molecule so that it does not hurt the patient.

Sisolak's extending Nevada's stay at home order past tomorrow. I'm not surprised, but I'm optimistic given we had a second day in a row of under 100 new cases.

Cuomo is spending quite a bit of time attacking Senator McConnell, Rick Scott, and Washington politics. Feels like I am watching a campaign ad right now targeting a specific group. I hadn't watched a press conference in a while so probably will keep it that way if both sides are turning to this.

Also this happened at the press conference

Feel like there's probably a better way to use those masks.

More good news?

Idk about getting a vaccine that's developed so quickly

I'll probably still get it if things are still bad with no end in sight though. I'll just feel weird about it.

I read the article. May 15th is the earliest we will start phase one of reopening. Best case scenario allows 2 to 3 weeks per phase, bars and casinos won't be allowed to open until July it looks like, since they are the last businesses to reopen.

In a related note from the same article, the percentage of people who agree with how Sisolak is handling things has dropped from to 56% to 38%. Nevadans are losing patience.

It could be the economic pressure speaking on that. He has handled this well and our hospitals are not being overrun with cases.

I think that number will change if people see the states that opened early suddenly hit hard by the virus.

I also think we'll start reopening May 15 if we continue on this downward trend for cases and we get more testing capabilities. I just hope Nevada can be patient and see that this is all worth it at the end.

My college just sent us an email saying theyre making a decision about whether to do the fall semester online and they expect the announcement to come by the end of May. It was one of the first colleges in the country to announce its closure back when this began, so Im fully expecting another semester of distance education.

I wonder what colleges will do about incoming freshman if there's another semester of this.

There's also college football, which is a big source of revenue for a lot of schools.

State parks (and maybe beaches) won't be reopening in Oregon until after Memorial Day. Washington will be opening their parks soon so there may be issues if Oregonians flock across the border.

city council is having talks in my town on the 11th of may. they're trying to push it to open earlier despite every other beach being open minus the 2 currently closed in the county i live in.

one side says to reopen when hotels do (later in this month). but they'll listen to resident comment about what the people think (does seem like toward the end of the month otherwise).

It was 74000 by August, given after we flew past the earlier 60000 by August prediction four months early

At this rate we'll be at 100k by June

And people are still laughing: In Chicago there is a law that mailboxes must be on the front of the building or outside the fence if there is a fence. So I unlock my mailbox and right behind me is a youngish lady walking her dog, defying the social distancing and mask order and cleverly going "he, he, he." At the minimum if you are so clever at least come up with a new laugh. (I washed my hair after this. Just as well, it has been a while).

This is depressing.

It's weird how many just don't care despite seeinh everybody in masks and gloves. Everywhere I've been has at least a couple of people being extremely close.
