I have thought a lot about going back to see live music and I wonder if things will ever get back to "normal" again.
The last three concerts I went to before lockdown I didn't really enjoy as well which is annoying!![]()

Two friends were really sick over the last month. One was sick with recurring high fever fatigue and cough for three weeks and tested twice with negative results both times. The other was tested for antibodies After having been sick for two weeks with fatigue cough and loss of taste and smell. Also negative.
I’m wondering why the first one wasn’t tested for flu first to rule that out. I’m thinking she probably had the flu since two tests for covid were negative, although with a 25% false negative with covid who knows. But it would have been helpful to know if she was positive for flu.
I’m not having much faith in this covid test. Apparently it matters how skillful the medical person is taking the test. It’s supposed to be quite uncomfortable although not painful.

I forgot you got to do your own. Supposedly you need to go pretty far up to where it’s uncomfortable. I don’t think I could swab my own tonsils! I have such a sensitive gag reflex.The Covid test wasn't really uncomfortable, you had to swab your tonsils and then up your nose. We both sneezed after we did our nasal test.I don't really trust the result either, to be honest.

I'm really disappointed by the media coverage of COVID. Almost all of it, even the better quality news sources. And I continue to be really creeped out by the gross celebrity stories and the comparative lack of focus on how it's affecting people who are not famous. A lot is being overlooked.
As things open up it will be crucial to watch the numbers. People are going crazy right now with the stores re-opening. I hope it settles down. There is little social distancing being practice and I still see a lot of people not wearing masks. The beaches will be "fully opened" for the holiday weekend. I can imagine the crowds!
I think California is doing it right. They set up about 5 metrics and depending on what score you get you get to move to the next phase. I thought there were just 4 phases but it turns out that each phase has a certain number of subdivisions. This should allow a gradual and incremental loosening of restrictions - and based on medical science and not people's wishes. The gradual and incremental approach may prove to be confusing but it should also limit the amount of people overreacting.
My county is now in Early Phase 2. We can't move on until we get more testing done and implement more contact tracing. And both those things take time so we are probably stuck in phase 2 for a while.
There was some early overuse of the beaches on the first weekend. The government quickly responded by limiting the hours, (just early morning and late afternoon now) and then closing the parking lots so that you had to walk to the beach.
In a couple of days, I'm going to drive over to the coast and see if I can find a nice place to just go for a walk/hike. I also want to steal some sand to make my homemade dumbells.
Have you ever seen the Last Week Tonight segment "Hi, there Florida"?Floridians are notoriously stupid! The governor is an idiot as well, a Trump pawn. While there aren't that many cases in my area presently, the opening up might change that. I am going to continue to be cautious but I have to go to work.
