Jesus, what is wrong with people?!
===================================
A man attempted to strangle a female employee at a New Jersey Burger King after arguing with staff over the company's face mask policy, police have said.
David Siversten, 47, allegedly strangled the employee when he returned to the Route 23 South restaurant at around 4.10 p.m. on March 27, after she complained that he was not wearing a face mask.
In a statement on the Wayne Police Department (WPD) Facebook page, Detective Captain Dan Daly said: "The female employee, who was outweighed by the male assailant by 80 pounds, stated that the suspect entered the restaurant, approached her and wrapped both hands around her neck and began strangling her.
"Video from the restaurant confirmed her description. The attack only ended when another female employee intervened and the suspect fled. The victim of the attack complained of pain but declined transport to a hospital."
It continued: "Further investigation determined that the suspect was the same man who entered Burger King earlier the same day and argued with restaurant employees about his not wearing a mask."...................

On NOLA.COM it reported the new cases for Tuesday, below 200, but they didn’t have a # for deaths. So I assume, hope, it means 0 which would be pretty great!

In general, over time ... doesn't it seem like the New Orleans area has done reasonably well in comparison to much of the U.S.?
And, at least for my local area of the West Bank (Gretna/Terrytown/Harvey/Marrero) ... mask compliance in local groceries and retailers has been very nearly perfect since the July 4th Weekend mask mandate last summer. I see noses now and again, but I've only seen two people enter a store barefaced since 7/2/2020.
So I've seen and heard. Seems to be similar north of the lake, too.Don't go to Lafitte and expect to see the same. Apparently once you cross the Intracoastal canal, Covid no longer exists.
I'd bet that you could send a healthcare worker with a J&J shot to the home of each individual in Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania and you wouldn't have very many people accept a shot.Nearly half of new coronavirus infections nationwide are in just five states — a situation that is putting pressure on the federal government to consider changing how it distributes vaccines by sending more doses to hot spots.
New York, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania and New Jersey together reported 44% of the nation's new COVID-19 infections, or nearly 197,500 new cases, in the latest available seven-day period, according to state health agency data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. Total U.S. infections during the same week numbered more than 452,000.
Surging vaccines to places where the number is going up makes sense, said Dr. Elvin H. Geng, a professor in infectious diseases at Washington University. But it’s also complicated.
“You wouldn’t want to make those folks wait because they were doing better,” Geng said. “On the other hand, it only makes sense to send vaccines to where the cases are rising.”................

Yes, quoting myself. Right under 19k at the Rangers/Blue Jays tonight. Based solely on camera pans of the crowd, I’d guesstimate mask usage is about 3%. And that’s mostly the ushers who have to.Today. It was the home season opener and the 1st game allowing Rangers fans into the new ballpark for a Rangers game. It was supposed to happen last season, but, you know. Full capacity was open only for this game. It goes to reduced capacity now. Roof was open and side sections open to allow good ventilation. Not saying it won’t be a super spreader event, but Texas.
