After handing me an orange, the woman at the register warned me to “make sure to wash it before eating it.” This left me wondering not only what happened to the orange that she felt the need to warn me, but if she had ever in fact eating an orange.
Update: Bars, gyms, marinas and movie theaters across Puerto Rico will stay shuttered until at least Aug. 15. Beaches remain closed on Sundays, and are open the rest of the week only to people doing exercise. Face masks still mandatory.

This is a Puerto Rico national guardsman rescuing a young boy during flash flooding caused by the tropical event that passed over the island. This is emergency work in a pandemic. If he can wear a mask wading through flood water, we all can. Consistently
@DavidBegnaud@CBSThisMorning I hate the thought of what reducing tourism or restricting it would do to our local businesses but I think it’s the safest thing to do for the island. We need to protect residents first.
@DavidBegnaud@CBSThisMorning As a resident, we see tourists not wearing masks and being selfish to not comply with executive orders. They have been frustrated with reduced service of restaurants. We are currently with a 10 PM curfew and no alcohol sales after 7 PM. Only use the beach for exercise.

Bombshell allegation:
Puerto Rico's medical Task Force members rejected an offer to buy 500,000 tests at $10 each (5M) - they instead opted to spend $38 million to buy tests from Apex, a PR construction company with no experience in medical supplies. The tests never came.
