This is hilarious. Why are churches a higher risk than schools or playing basketball? Why are pontoon boat rides more risky than the beach or golfing? and how is a bike ride or going for a walk more risky than playing tennis?Not agreeing or disagreeing with this just yet but if basketball is a 7 where is soccer or football?

5 or 6 from what I see there. Is it really higher risk than the beach?Not agreeing or disagreeing with this just yet but if basketball is a 7 where is soccer or football?

They have already proved that the "low viral spread during summer" is not accurate.

Hasn't the concern all along been that the kids are or potentially carriers? Having said that, they know that it takes 15 minutes of close contact of an infected person (not outside with wind blowing) or surface touch to spread the disease. So why can't the kids start training?! Ugh.
Churches hug and love each other. Not allowed, plus they believe in Jesus and that is not allowed. Lastly, Christian people are not smart enough like the protesters to social distance. #8, please.....WHO are the "experts" making these lists anyways? This is classic......lol
overall it is a pretty good chart.Not agreeing or disagreeing with this just yet but if basketball is a 7 where is soccer or football?

church is high because of the large number of people and recirculated air. Outdoor prayer meetings in small groups would rank considerably lower.
Also remember this was taken in Michigan. The pontoon boat ride there is a tourist trap with 50-200 people per boat. The basketball game is an indoor gym with recirculated air. So, not the same as your neighbor’s houseboat or some outdoor 3v3.
I’d put adult league soccer at 6, teenager soccer at 5, and ulittle soccer at 4.
Ridiculous chart where eating outside is the same as a doctor's waiting room indoors. As anyone whose been in a pediatrician's waiting room can tell you, they so aren't equivalent. Presumably they are assuming uniform masks usage, because otherwise getting groceries isn't a 3 (sick people have to eat too and if they chance breaking quarantine it's to get food). But even then how beaches (outdoors) equal bowling (indoors)....ridiculous. I guess the public health experts really don't want to open schools either (in contrast to Europe). The only thing this goes to show is yet again the public health expert have no freaking idea!
I hear two boys teams (to be unnamed) were scrimmaging in Camarillo and the cops broke up the match (this despite that there's been a few large protests in the downtown area).
Might be partly regional differences. The survey was done in Chicago and Michigan.
Have you ever been to the beach in Chicago or Detroit on a hot summer day? The beach in Chicago is tiny, and can get super crowded. Feels more like a state fair than a beach.
Grocers are a little different, too. Wider aisles, because land is cheaper.
I reread your post, and can't tell whether you think doctors office or outdoor dinner is the bigger risk. It's clear you think it is obvious. But it isn't. Quantity of people, duration of exposure, and absence of masks all point to dinner. Recirculated air is a big factor, and that points to doctors office. Maybe my doctor's office is quieter than yours.

That's not what NPR's quoted experts are saying. They believe there is definitely a lower viral spread now and believe it will get worse when the weather cools.
The seasonal effect
It gets worse. On Thursday, Chris Murray, the head of the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation forecasting team, pointed to growing evidence that the coronavirus will spread more easily as the weather turns cold.
Murray's team analyzed the pattern of the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. to date. They found that the drop in the reproduction number since early spring can't be entirely explained by obvious contributing factors — such as people's reduced mobility or mask wearing or better testing. And when the team looked for additional variables that could explain the change, it found a strong correlation with warming weather.
This finding doesn't shed light on why transmission may be reduced in the warmer months. (For example, could it be that coronavirus droplets don't hang in warmer air for as long? Is it simply that people spend less time mingling with each other indoors?) But Murray says that "as time goes by, the evidence is accumulating that it is a very strong predictor of transmission."
The effect is not strong enough to make the virus completely disappear over the summer. But it does mean, Murray says, that come autumn transmission will likely pick up.
"We start to see a powerful increase that will be driven by seasonality starting in early September and these numbers will intensify through till February," Murray says. "So seasonality will be a very big driver of the second wave."
Coronavirus 2nd Wave? Nope, The U.S. Is Still Stuck In The 1st One
The nation still sees more than 20,000 new cases on average a day, a number that's barely budged for weeks. Forecasters say we're looking at tens of thousands more deaths this summer.

This other guy in Atlanta should have not resisted and stole a weapon and tried to use it on the cop, justifiable homicide.

For once I agree with Sheriff Joe. Shocker!
The Atlanta man was either drunk or high and could have easily created a car accident where innocent people could have died. He should have never tried to steal the taser from the police officer.

Irvine has change their tune and is now allowing "modified day camps" starting June 22. I'm sure some clubs will start practicing under that next week.

How could he have created a car accident if he was running away from his car and the cops? It’s never justified to shoot someone in the back!For once I agree with Sheriff Joe. Shocker!

They found him passed out in the car. My point is that he was lucky to not get in a car accident prior to passing out. Imagine what's going on through any police officer's mind when the suspect is trying to take your weapon.

He was running away, how is a cop scared of someone running away? The cops lost their cool because he lost his taser to 1 suspect and was embarrassed. The cops killed that man because he embarrassed them.

I read that he got shot after he shot the taser he stole at another officer. Which would make sense on how he got shot in the back. The question should be is a gun shot to the back constitute defending an officer who is just getting tasered.
