the pleasant surprise was that it was a 20 minute walk to the beach and pretty much everyone we passed gave us anything from the wassup nod to a hello or a smile (i’m dark brown with really long hair).not a shot at you, just pointing out how wild the dynamic of these resort towns can be...trust me, I know.

I know I shouldn't be thinking of flying to LA to visit fam
I'm writing all the cons: COVID + LA's recent brutal hot weather + The Broad not open

Make sure your fam has AC.
I went home and was definitely roasting. It was like 97 at night and we dont have good air flow.
My mom sent a pic of 120 on the car temp today
But fam is fam, just make sure you have sometime for quarantine and outdoor spots, my cousin had a pool and it was clutch.

my fam and i went to a resort area today. the lagoons are supposed to be mainly for residents since the resorts are closed. it’s a gated community and it was like walking through MAGA land. everyone was white and absolutely nobody wore a mask. the beach was nice and empty and it was a beautiful day!
Ko Olina? Surprised the Disney resort isnt open again.

Loved koolina. We lived in kapolei and that’s the only beach we’d go to. Holiday or not it was never ridiculous like Waikiki. And north shore isn’t a chill beach Persay. Always had to hide our drinks tho lol

One thing that came to my mind:
If Covid tests require swabs up the nose then doesn’t that mean that the 100’s of people that go to a testing location to get the swan test done have to take their masks off in the testing room to get swabbed? So if one person tests positive they potentially infected everyone else that went to get tested at the same location and had to take their masks off to get swabbed.
How does this work?

NBA only acted as fast as it did in direct response to the city of San Francisco putting the clamps on the Golden State Warriors and Oracle Arena.

Yep. Just hope they don’t cough or breathe too heavily. Same thing is happening at airports. Tsa requires you to take mask down to id.

Every test site I've been to is outside, the test takes about 10 seconds so it's not like people are congregating around. The people who collect the samples wear PPE no different than hospital workers.

Mask is off for like 5 seconds. Should be alright.

Testing sites here in bay area, CA are drive-thru. Can come to the ER and get tested outside. Most are by appointment or PCP referral

One could argue its the same general air space. They say this stuff can linger for weeks In the air. Either it does matter or it doesn’t? So much crap going around with how this spreads.

They benefited greatly that the season was pretty much a wrap. Would have been interesting to see how it would have played out if it was the beginning of the season. Not sure if they could have pulled off the bubble with all 30 teams.

That what makes me scared to go back on site for work because if it gets into vents and infect people. Then it's only a matter of time before people get reinfected.

My understanding -- for droplet spread, it doesn't take much. One well-timed cough that sends particles right at your face could be enough. But for aerosol spread, like what would linger in a room between patients, requires sustained breathing for 10-20 minutes to fill the room with enough virus particles that somebody else could get infected.
So ~30 seconds with the mask off with 10 minutes between patients is probably plenty of time for any particles to clear.
But I could be wrong. I've heard of people catching it in an elevator from an infected person riding the elevator at a different time. Presumably the elevator has much worse air circulation though.

I’m curious so I’m going to start asking everyone I know this question. Thought I’d ask here.
What’s your guys’ concern/fear level toward COVID now vs, say, April? Scale of 1-10, 1 being least concerned and 10 being most.
Take into account all the info that’s come out since then, your personal experience and observations, your prior expectations and expert predictions vs. now.
Also, are there any activities that you wouldn’t have even dared thought of doing then that you would now? i.e. Hoop at the park, eat outdoors/indoors, gyms, etc etc
