@laura-f   My sister-in-law who died last year, had a bone spur many years ago, the doctor put in a bone which kept growing. She got so she could hardly walk. I suppose if the doctor had used bone paste, it could be different.

Florida Covid positive is getting worse and worse.

On Sunday, the Florida Department of Health reported its second consecutive day of more than 2,000 new daily cases, with 2,016. On Saturday, it reported a daily record of 2,581.coronavirus cases in South Carolina rising after rushing to reopen

But don’t worry DeSantis is on the case:

DeSantis told WPLG on Friday that he attributed the state's rise in cases to an outbreak among farmworkers in north central Florida.

With so many positive they are definitely hiding the deaths

If you haven't seen this, you should.

It is a compilation of all the commercials that ran back in later April when we we all under lockdown.

They are almost the same exact commercials.  There is an explanation on why they seem the seem such as not being able to film so needing stock footage and stock music.  But it is really interesting to see.  No it isn't a conspiracy theory like the creep news footage where everyone stay the same thing.    But if you thought everyone was saying the same thing, they pretty much were.

@lovendures That was amazing! The advertising industry knows what buttons to push in the human psyche to make a profit:   Family, Home, You-can-trust-us, Together.

Yep.  They all must have the same focus groups.  

I wonder how they get their focus groups?

Perhaps there needs to be a bit more creativity?  The first few ads I saw when things were opening back up in my state were horrible.  Totally lacked a believability factor.  Manufactured  empathy.  

 

( OK, I just noticed all the typos in my above post.  Sorry about that.)

@jessi1978

Could you just clarify your post a bit? South Carolina is not part of Florida as of the last time I checked.

@lovendures

I saw an article elsewhere that was titled "Get Ready for the Big Gaslighting". It warned that the advertising was all going to say the same b.s., but that the capitalist greed remains the driving force. Hubby and I noticed the same a couple months back, they're almost identical: Same words, same stock footage, same voiceover tone, same music...

IGNORED.

Honestly, if feels more like it did in March.  In March things accelerated at a record pace regarding the pandemic.  We had a relative lull on this topic for a number of weeks and then BAM!  

Hello June!  March-like pace again

Anyway, many NFL players are testing positive for the virus it has been announced today. 

What does that me for football and other contact sports?  What does that mean for everyday workouts in normal gyms?

@lovendures The Advertising industry is mega billions.  Many of the big ads are made by the same ad companies. And they also copy each other. John Oliver did a funny satire about it when his staff found a fossil fuel company promotion that copied John Oliver's original opening that they use each week.

As I've said elsewhere, I'm not a professional astrologer so I don't know if it's a connection or coincidence, but the speed-up in March was just at the end of a Mercury Retrograde, and as of Wednesday (I think?), we're in another one that will go for the next three weeks.
