i wonder how accurate these surge numbers are. my coworker told me today that one of customers said she was very ill last weekend. went to hospital and without any tests done on her, they told her she had corona so she needed to stay home. she had fever, diarrhea, and coughs, but later turned out to be some kind of throat/stomach infection. thinking she had corona, she got home but it got worse and worse so she called an ambulance twice bc first one wont take her in. when she got there, they gave her the test and it came out negative. so basically first hospital she went to probably reported that one of their patient had corona and sent her home to be quarantined. and i doubt that 2nd hospital notify first hospital that they diagnosed her wrong and needed to correct their corona case numbers for that day. i mean watching local and national news about surge in houston, all their hospital footage shows nothing but empty beds and interviewing maybe one or two patients. *crickets* and im suppose to believe them that its getting worse here than how italy was. anyway ive been asking a few customers (those who visit hospitals regularly) if they have to wait in long line and they tell me hospitals are not that crowded and seems normal like any other day. when houston was suppose to have its peak in april or may, it didnt have the test available except for extreme cases only. now people are trying to get it done by thousands everyday even for a slight cold or allergy and im sure there might be mixed ups and errors in data bc they are extremely overwhelmed and not well prepared. but we still have one of lowest death rates due to corona compare to other states/cities. at least one thing i know for sure now is im immuned. some of regular customers had tested positive and their coworkers or relatives come to let us know why they were missing for days. id been exposed to them daily and that was way before mandatory mask was ordered and no one was wearing masks then. and one irony thing, county judge who championed face mask mandatory here is sick at home with corona. guess her face mask didnt work.
 

Maybe its good this way. Some series fall flat as more games are made. Despite what people say about Mass Effect 3's ending. It personally didn't bother me. Was it the best? no, the ending of the first game that I chose was the absolute best. Nothing will ever top that for me. I don't have any emotional investment into these games, but I probably would have been pissed if I did. A lot of people on my facebook feed seem to feel the same. It also could be that MGS2 effect. While the game wasn't bad, people were mad that you weren't Snake anymore, and its regarded as the worst MGS of the series.
If anyone cares to know why I loved my ME1 ending tho
 

The media is actually trying to hide behind the argument that its "woke" when it's really people overall don't like the story. Most notably what you have in the spoiler section.
 

Everything is open here pretty much if they made it... but if anyone tests positive they shut down for 3 days and have a specialty cleaner come in and disinfect the entire facility.

not good. all bars are closed in texas. all restaurants dropped to 50% capacity from 75%. my nephew's daycare center is closed bc one of employees has corona, my fav bakery shop was closed since last month bc owner got sick so who knows when itll open again, and best buy i use to go to got permanently closed so now i have to drive extra 15-20 miles to shop at a different location. yesterday i had to line up outside and waited 30 mins to enter (just before big rain was dumped on my way home). no more than a week ago we were all free to enter and shop so thats a big step backward. i wont be surprised if best buy revert back to its curbside pick up only and go out of business like the other one. banks are still drive through only here and line's way too long. so unnecessary when places like walmart, target, and body shops've had no such restriction and inconvenience during the lockdown. and recently two night clubs were raided here and got their business licenses taken away for letting too many ppl in. and my manager saw undercover cops lurking outside the store early this week so thats comforting to know..not. we have to put signs that requires customers to wear masks and stores can be ticketed  if these new restrictions are not followed. im sure other states will follow similar suit soon. cant control everyone but it seems like they are punishing businness owners and working ppl as if its their fault for govts failed response to corona at the early stage. they are going to tank the economy at this rate.

I finished The Clone Wars. I guess the show tried to balance between a child/young person's show while keeping the interest of older star wars fans. Overall I liked it, but at times it was so exhausting I had to take a week off from it. the last 2 seasons were the best, and it really shined When Ahsoka left the order and Fives uncovered the conspiracy. From that point forward was the best stretch of the entire series. The chilling ending scene was fantastic.
The Star Wars live action universe can really use Cad Bane and Hondo. Through all the muck of the first 4 seasons, Their episodes were among my favorites. I would have rather had them featured more than some of those eps that featured way too much mysticism like the light side/dark side planet, or the droids adventure arc. 
Either way I'm pretty excited to see Ahsoka and Rex in Mandalorian S2 now.

I think I'm more likely to die from 2nd hand smoke than I am from COVID-19.
Have a neighbor who likes to pace out in the front yard while smoking.
And keeping my windows closed now only guarantees that my brain is going to get fried.

I don't see a second lockdown coming, not without even more civil unrest. Honestly if they try it, everyone should just disregard it completely. I don't see law enforcement trying to expend energy to stop it on a massive scale after what's been going on the past few weeks. Its amazing how this is all of the sudden an issue again after massive gatherings, rioting, looting, and destruction of property. The media said nothing about CV for weeks, and now all of the sudden everyone needs to stay at home. The only reason the riots were as bad as they were in the first place was because people are bored and frustrated and had nothing better to do.
Nothing should close, but workers shouldn't be penalized for not going to work. People that don't feel safe can stay home, but we cannot function as a society like this. We can't do more stimulus, the government is taking in less income tax right now with how historically high unemployment is. We're pass the lockdowns.

The last one was really fun, but the final boss I remember was annoying AF. Like R&C games have always been hold your hand, mindless fun, and the lass boss is always a bitch normally. That preorder weapon was super OP, but they made sure it was insanely inconvenient to use against the final boss, and even if you landed a hit it wouldn't be its max potential damage.

The movement system in this game screams Blade & Soul. Honestly I've been waiting for a game with that type of gameplay. while B&S as an MMO leaves a lot to be desired, the movement was so fucking fun, thats why I stuck with it as long as I did.

Lots of walking. Involving something small (and defenseless). Player Character needs to transport an item. Original name was probably Death Straying.

For you cat lovers out there.

This looks so cool. Can't wait to see more.

When hasn't Bill and Ted been stupid and funny.
I honestly can't wait for this. Huge fan of the first two movies so I'm really happy we're finally getting another one.

I can has now please? Please? I promise I'll be nice and well behaved.
I wasn't really planning on getting a PS5 but this game has absolutely cemented my need to get one. Now to find time to get around to beating the first one.

I'd probably buy the digital only model if I weren't more likely to buy an 8KTV.
