Are Kansas City area stores COVID-19 safe? We visit 50 in five counties to find out
[...] How thoroughly are customers — and employees — being protected from the spreading coronavirus? To find out, The Star this past week dispatched six reporters to the five prime counties in the Kansas City area: Johnson, Wyandotte, Jackson, Clay and Platte. We entered 50 stores (not gyms, restaurants or hair salons), 10 in each county, ranging from large chains, such as Walmart, QuikTrip, Target, Bath & Body Works and Hobby Lobby, to regional or even small family-run businesses, like the Red X in Riverside and the New Dimestore in Brookside. Although hardly scientific, numbers offer a snapshot of what, after even a brief look, shows itself to be an uneven safety landscape — one that could set nerves on edge as likely as calm them. Of the 50 stores visited: ▪ At a little more than half (54%, 27 stores), every employee wore masks. ▪ At 1 in 4 (24%, 12 stores), zero employees wore masks. ▪ Wyandotte County, already hit hard by the coronavirus, seemed the most vulnerable. Only 1 of 10 stores visited, Beauty Brands, had every employee wearing masks, although Nebraska Furniture Mart had just one employee without one. At six stores, no employees wore masks. ▪ In the other counties, all employees wore masks at 60% to 70% of stores. ▪ Sneeze guards at registers were found at 60% of stores (30 of 50). ▪ About two-thirds provided hand sanitizers and other cleaning supplies for customers (32 of 50). ▪ Size appeared to matter, with chain stores implementing the most precautions on average. Smaller shops tended to have fewer, while still insisting customers were being kept safe. [...] Much, much more info in the link in the title... Open in a private window if necessary |

If the allergy meds don't help you can maybe question it more but not everybody goes to the doctor for allergies or even takes meds if allergies are mild. Last edited by Monticore; 05-25-2020 at 11:27 AM.. |

We need the testing capacity to distinguish allergies and colds from COVID-19. Otherwise we are flying blind.

Hydroxychloroquine: WHO suspends clinical trial of drug over safety fears
The move comes after a study published in the The Lancet medical journal said that the use of the drug increased the risk of death by 34 per cent and a 137 per cent increased risk of serious heart arrhythmias. The same study concluded that patients receiving hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic faced a 45 per cent increased risk of death and a 411 per cent increased risk of serious heart arrhythmias. Mr Ghebreyesus emphasised that the concerns about the drug relate only to its use to treat Covid-19, and that both hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are accepted as generally safe for use in patients with autoimmune diseases or malaria.

There were 473 new cases in PA Sunday... Lowest number in two-months... Weekend numbers tend to be lower though as we all know. Still a great sign. Time to keep up with social distancing measures and beat this ****ing virus to the ground.
