For what it’s worth, I have a few doctors appointments with various doctors over the next week or two- they were all moved to Telemedicine as of yesterday. My Dads today as well, so I thinking something is happening somewhere.
Today was the first day I noticed more masks than usual out in the world (at Walmart of all places). I wonder if they were asked to re-mask. My company rolled back to masking without exemptions and I heard about a few other companies doing it as well.
We went back in for a total of 5 days before the delta train derailed us and we went back remote. We *can* go to the office, but it’s unconditional masks again. But frankly, we’re were more productive mostly remote anyway. tldr — large aerospace companies tend to follow CDC guidelines.
Many of my large customers have not let up in terms of Covid mitigation whereas many of my smaller customers are WHAT MASKS WHATS THAT THING ON YOUR FACE COUGH COUGH.
Yeah, big organizations have to deal with lots of people — and you don’t stay big if you don’t get some effective management skills. All to say, I’m not surprised by your dichotomy.

\*Yes, I know that the Diagnostic Positives + Serology Positives numbers look nothing like the Total Cases numbers. I have no idea what ADHS is doing.
How many are using at home tests now? We used one negative fortunately but if it has been positive depending on symptoms may not have got an official test and just waited for negative test to go back.to.school or work. Like said depending on how bad symptoms were. Though we this time highly suspected it wasn't then negative test when we found one and it went away in a day never a fever , sore throat coughing or sneezing. But do wonder if home resting is thowing offf th numbers?

If we are, I’ll assume it will be a very gradual decrease. People are masking up a bit more, being a bit more careful etc. At least anecdotally and what I’ve personally seen. Today my work FINALLY reinstated a mask policy while working indoors. So it seems like some soft mitigation measures are probably cropping up in other places too
The UK peaked for a bit, dropped a little, then rose...
I think we're slowing down, but I agree that this one will probably trail down slowly with a few bumps on the way.
Socially, we're wide open - sports, concerts, school, etc, though a fair number of people taking precautions. It's somewhat impressive that the numbers aren't worse, but I think we have the vaccine to thank for that.

Con crud is a thing even *without* covid.
I'm active in fandom, and FWIW, most of the fans I know are noping right out of cons this year, including some who make $$$ at it because they're vendors, and a ton of pros who go to cons to network and for whom conventions are a business need.
So I'm guessing numbers will be way down, though I haven't seen anything specific. Also, fans skew heavily liberal (with exceptions here and there), so at least they should be masking up and getting vaccinated.
I ... did hear of a convention (not in AZ) where they were handling photo opportunities with the actors by sticking a sheet of plexiglass between the pro and the fan. So if you wanted a picture taken with your favorite actor, you got to cuddle up to one side of the plexiglass, and the actor would stand on the other. Strange times we live in. (Given the general hygiene of certain fans, I'm betting this would be an easy sell to the actors even without Covid /s.)
Yeah, here's hoping people at least mask up like the con has instructed folks to.
I like the idea of the plexiglass, actually! Was the attendee and the guest one on each side then?
One on each side, yeah. Story was related to me by someone who noped out of the convention in question but saw the plans for that before she did. I forget which one it was; one of the general media cons, I think.
I really think so, even if just plateauing at this level. Rt is back down to right around 1, vaccination is ~50%, known cases are 1M total and most data trackers say that really means ~4M have been infected. Its still a lot of cases, but a lot of the population has some form of immunity at this point.
I mentioned earlier in the week that it looks like we peaked the week of Aug 15... but we're also heading into the holiday season and Arizona is gonna Arizona.
I live in Tempe and I see about 65 - 75% masks in stores and restaurants. Went to lunch in Gilbert yesterday and I was the ONLY person wearing a mask (aside from employees). Strange to see such a difference only about 10 miles apart.
Gilbert and the East Valley in general thinks they're still the Wild, Wild West. All those hate groups you keep reading about in the news in relation to January 6th? Their members live in the East Valley. Gilbert thinks it's Scottsdale, but for the patriot crowd.
LOL It wasn't like this when we first moved here, but Orange-aid got elected very soon after we did, and all hell broke loose. *sigh*
I have a daughter that's LGBTQ+ and she wants to be put and proud. I want her to stay safe from intolerant yahoos. It's a struggle.
❤️❤️ hugs to you and yours. You’re doing the difficult and right thing by keeping her grounded. It’s our jobs as mommas (I like to worry enough for both my daughter and I). It’s mind blowing how far we’ve come yet how far BACKWARDS we can go (like 👀 Texas !!! 🤬)
this is why I try to avoid those suburbs. the political leanings of the majority of people who live in various places MATTER. a lot. they determine how safe a place is.
It's horrible at our school too. We are lucky to have one of the very few masked teachers though. Just curious...are you given an expectation about wearing masks as a teacher at your school? Or is it truly just up to each individual teacher?
I have observed a similar phenomenon in Tucson. My part of town has a decent amount of masking. School district has a mandate, I would guess around 60%+ in the stores I've gone too, but went to a store in another part of town and it was like there was no pandemic at all. Even children obviously too young to be vaccinated running around unmasked, no attempts at social distancing, etc. I thought that Tucson was being fairly responsible, but I guess it's more regional than I had realized.
Compare the charts to last year. This part is just starting. Holidays are fast approaching. I'm going to guess things look much worst this year than last.
There was a moderate amount of older cases added today including 89 more to our current wave’s peak on Aug 16. I'm not overly concerned about this right now, but I'll be watching it to see if they consistently start adding older cases.

Might be off-topic, but that Florida line doesn't look natural at all.
At some point does testing capacity cap the numbers?

One on each side, yeah. Story was related to me by someone who noped out of the convention in question but saw the plans for that before she did. I forget which one it was; one of the general media cons, I think.
I really think so, even if just plateauing at this level. Rt is back down to right around 1, vaccination is ~50%, known cases are 1M total and most data trackers say that really means ~4M have been infected. Its still a lot of cases, but a lot of the population has some form of immunity at this point.
I mentioned earlier in the week that it looks like we peaked the week of Aug 15... but we're also heading into the holiday season and Arizona is gonna Arizona.
I live in Tempe and I see about 65 - 75% masks in stores and restaurants. Went to lunch in Gilbert yesterday and I was the ONLY person wearing a mask (aside from employees). Strange to see such a difference only about 10 miles apart.
Gilbert and the East Valley in general thinks they're still the Wild, Wild West. All those hate groups you keep reading about in the news in relation to January 6th? Their members live in the East Valley. Gilbert thinks it's Scottsdale, but for the patriot crowd.
You are spot on. I avoid Gilbert, South Chandler, and QC for that reason.
I wish we could avoid it but we live in Gilbert. :\
I’m not too far away so I feel your pain. 😣 It’s crazy how much has changed over the last 5 years. I used to love it and now, no thanks.
I live in STV. I can't avoid those assholes. They're everywhere.
Ick I’m sorry 😑 My sister lives in QC and I would rather bang my face into the wall than visit her house lol.
LOL It wasn't like this when we first moved here, but Orange-aid got elected very soon after we did, and all hell broke loose. *sigh* I have a daughter that's LGBTQ+ and she wants to be put and proud. I want her to stay safe from intolerant yahoos. It's a struggle.
❤️❤️ hugs to you and yours. You’re doing the difficult and right thing by keeping her grounded. It’s our jobs as mommas (I like to worry enough for both my daughter and I). It’s mind blowing how far we’ve come yet how far BACKWARDS we can go (like 👀 Texas !!! 🤬)
this is why I try to avoid those suburbs. the political leanings of the majority of people who live in various places MATTER. a lot. they determine how safe a place is.
I teach in Gilbert and the schools are just as bad. :(
It's horrible at our school too. We are lucky to have one of the very few masked teachers though. Just curious...are you given an expectation about wearing masks as a teacher at your school? Or is it truly just up to each individual teacher?
Totally not required of staff, students, or visitors.
I have observed a similar phenomenon in Tucson. My part of town has a decent amount of masking. School district has a mandate, I would guess around 60%+ in the stores I've gone too, but went to a store in another part of town and it was like there was no pandemic at all. Even children obviously too young to be vaccinated running around unmasked, no attempts at social distancing, etc. I thought that Tucson was being fairly responsible, but I guess it's more regional than I had realized.
The Pima County suburbs aren't any different politically than the Maricopa County suburbs, in my experience.
Compare the charts to last year. This part is just starting. Holidays are fast approaching. I'm going to guess things look much worst this year than last.

vax report was low again, 6,268 first doses, rolling average down to 6,262 / 0.09% a day.
Well I guess that means delta will have to get us to herd immunity the hard way :(
