Out here in California, our statewide daily new cases per 100K population have doubled recently, and as such, the governor has declared an "emergency brake" on reopening plans.

They're redoing their system that determines whether the virus is "Widespread", "Substantial", "Moderate" or "Minimal" in each county, causing many (including mine) to regress in tiers. We are now Widespread again, as is most of the state.

He's also considering a curfew if his experts conclude it would help mitigate the spread.

Why not smoking at this point, people need to have something to do and help calm themselves

I wouldn't consider an activity that damages your lungs and suppress' your immune system while polluting your body with metals is the best idea during a global respiratory disease.

Don't worry, I'm not going to start or anything. Just definitely not going to judge someone for doing what they need to cope; looking at everything through a mental health lens.

I've started my own methods, just trying to hold on a bit longer.

Don't smoke it! If you need it, chew it!

No way edibles aren't a thing in Seattle, right?

Well played, Germany, well played!
Naja, Debakel vom Feinsten. Jogi muss weg. Aber zur EM sind wir wieder da. Ein Spiel hat 90 Minuten und am Ende gewinnt Deutschland.

I am a heavy smoker and yes, smoking sucks. But it is really hard to quit. In Germany the Tobacco-industry is prohibited to do commercials..

Thank you for smoking :). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss0jLHvMO20

I'm behind 2.1 million other people in my county, for the record.
This was interesting to put in! But either way, as soon as the public/my group/whatever can get them, I'll be waiting in line... have a feeling some countries might start requiring it for travel, so I'm getting poked as soon as legally able.

"When it comes to Washington, we think you’re behind 440,000 others who are at higher risk in your state.

And in Snohomish County, you’re behind 37,800 others."

For me:
Based on your risk profile, we believe you’re in line behind 268.7 million people across the United States.

When it comes to Illinois, we think you’re behind 10.5 million others who are at higher risk in your state.

And in Cook County, you’re behind 4.2 million others.
