Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts

The following is a timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Massachusetts.

February

The first case of COVID-19 was confirmed by state health officials on February 1. Massachusetts became the fifth state in the U.S. to report a case of COVID-19. The individual, a University of Massachusetts Boston student, had returned to Boston from Wuhan, China. Upon returning to Boston he began experiencing symptoms and sought medical care.

175 executives of Biogen, a biotechnology company based in Cambridge, held a two-day leadership conference from February 26–28 at the Boston Marriott Long Wharf hotel. On February 29, a Biogen executive began to develop symptoms and sought treatment at a Boston area hospital. Suspecting COVID-19 was the cause of the illness, the executive requested a test, but was told by hospital staff that it was not necessary.

March 1–7

On March 2, the second confirmed case in Massachusetts was reported. The patient was a woman in her 20s from Norfolk County. She had recently traveled to Italy with a school group from Saint Raphael Academy in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. She was the third person from the trip to test positive, with two people from Rhode Island who had gone on the trip also testing positive.

On March 4, staff from Biogen contacted the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) to report that two executives who had recently traveled from Europe to Boston and had attended the February employee meeting had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 upon returning home. The same day, a "significant number" of Biogen employees asked to be tested for the virus at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), which had not been informed that anyone at the company had been exposed. The state police announced Shattuck Street would be closed because a group of 60 individuals were being transported along the route to Brigham and Women's Hospital. On March5, Biogen reported that three individuals who had attended the company event in Boston the previous week had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.

On March 6, public health officials reported five new cases bringing the state total to eight. Four cases were in Suffolk County, three in Norfolk County, and one in Middlesex County. Two cases were associated with travel to Italy and one to Wuhan. All five new cases were associated with the Biogen meeting.

On March 7, five more presumptive positive cases of COVID-19 were reported, bringing the total to 13. Among those cases was the index case in Berkshire County, a man in his 60s from Clarksburg whose infection could not be traced.

March 8–14
On March 8, the MDPH reported 15 more presumptive cases of COVID-19, all of which were individuals present at the Biogen conference, bringing the total to 28. In response to the outbreak, Biogen instituted remote work. The fifteen new presumptive cases included five from Suffolk County, five from Middlesex County, four from Norfolk County, and one whose county of residence was unknown. Officials in North Carolina reported that five residents of Wake County tested positive for COVID-19; all five were participants in the previous week's Biogen meeting in Boston.

On March 10, the first evidence of community transmission, also known as community spread, was found in a handful of cases in the Berkshires. A man in Sudbury tested presumptive positive for COVID-19, and the first case in Essex County was also reported.

On March 12, there were 108 people in Massachusetts with confirmed or presumptive cases of COVID-19. Among those cases, 82 (75% of the total) were associates or employees of Biogen. Governor Baker said the state had tested more than 200 patients and had the capacity to test up to 5,000. The Boston Marriott Long Wharf hotel, which had hosted the Biogen company gathering, closed temporarily. In a letter to their guests, the hotel said it made the decision in cooperation with the Boston Public Health Commission. Acton-Boxborough announced school closures from March 13 until March 20.

On March 13, the Boston Marathon was postponed from April 20 until September 14. A few hours later, Governor Baker prohibited gatherings of more than 250 people. The measure was targeted at large events and exempted most workplaces, transit buildings, polling locations, government buildings, and schools. Cardinal O'Malley, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Boston, announced that all daily and Sunday masses and other religious services would be suspended in the Archdiocese of Boston until further notice. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced that Boston Public Schools would be closed starting on March 17 until April 27. Woburn announced that a presumptive positive case in the city had been confirmed as negative.

On March 14, Cape Cod (Barnstable County) confirmed its first case, a man in his 60s from Sandwich. Officials in Worcester and Malden both announced their respective cities' first confirmed case of COVID-19, both linked to Biogen. Of the state's 138 cases, 104 (75%) could be traced to employees or contacts of Biogen.

A 59-year-old Worcester man died on a flight from Dubai to Boston, sparking speculation that he had died from COVID-19. He had been sick with gastrointestinal problems and was in cardiac arrest during the flight. On March 16, Massachusetts State Police said an autopsy revealed he did not have COVID-19.

March 15–21
On March 15, Baker ordered all public and private schools in Massachusetts to close for three weeks, from March 17 through April7. The same day, he also banned eating at restaurants, banned gatherings of more than 25 people, relaxed unemployment claim requirements, and enacted other interventions to try to slow the spread of COVID-19. Hampden and Plymouth counties had their first cases. Plymouth County's first case, in Hanover, resulted from travel. Hampden County's first case tested positive at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield; the hospital noted an additional 23 suspected cases.

On March 16, Brockton announced its first case, and the mayor declared a state of emergency for the city. Boston Mayor Marty Walsh ordered construction projects to shut down by March 23, maintaining only minimal staff for security. He also announced that all branches of the Boston Public Library would close beginning that night. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) announced that, starting March 17, it would run the subway and buses at Saturday levels of service during the week, with express buses still running, ferries not running, and commuter rail running on a modified schedule. The next day, service was increased on the Blue Line, Green Line E branch (which serves Longwood Medical Area), and some bus lines to reduce crowding. Frequency on Massport shuttles to Logan International Airport was reduced or canceled.

The number of hospitalized patients with suspected or known infections quadrupled to 53 between March 16 and 17. Major hospitals began reusing protective gear or asking the public for donations of masks.

The number of cases where initial exposure was under investigation began to rise rapidly, whereas cases tracked to Biogen attendees and household contacts continued an overall mild decline. On March 19, Governor Baker activated up to 2,000 Massachusetts National Guard to assist in the management of the pandemic. The number of cases increased by 72, putting the total at 328, with 119 in Middlesex County. Franklin and Hampshire counties – both in Western Massachusetts and the last non-island counties – had their first confirmed cases of COVID-19.

On March 20, Massachusetts experienced its first death due to COVID-19. The fatality was an 87-year-old man from Suffolk County, who was hospitalized and who had preexisting health conditions. Martha's Vineyard in Dukes County had its first case, a 50-year-old man in Tisbury. This was the thirteenth of 14 counties in Massachusetts to report a case of COVID-19. The cities of Somerville and Cambridge closed non-essential businesses.

Governor Baker announced that 5,207 people had been tested for COVID-19 in Massachusetts through state and commercial laboratories. That night the state announced its second death due to COVID-19, a woman from Middlesex County in her 50s who had a preexisting health condition. Nantucket County, the last county to have no cases of the virus, reported its first COVID-19 case. In order to reduce contact between drivers and customers, the MBTA began rear-door boarding on above-ground stops for buses, the Green Line, and the Mattapan Trolley, except for passengers with disabilities who need to use the front door.

March 22–31
On March 22, Nantucket issued a shelter-in-place order, to start March 23 and end on April 6. Exceptions were made for essential services to remain open. Governor Baker instructed people in mainland Massachusetts with second homes in Nantucket and Dukes County to stay on the mainland. Three new deaths were reported by Massachusetts DPH, two men, both in their 70s, from Hampden and Berkshire counties, and a man in his 90s from Suffolk County.

On March 23, Governor Baker announced a stay-at-home advisory effective from noon March 24 until noon April 7. Nonessential businesses were ordered to close physical workplaces, and restaurants and bars were restricted to offering takeout and delivery. People were told they could go out to obtain essential goods and services, such as groceries and medicine, but should follow social distancing protocols.

On March 24, the number of cases jumped by 382 to 1,159, with two new deaths attributed to COVID-19. This unusually large jump in cases (49%, versus 20–28% in the previous five days) was attributable to Quest Diagnostics processing 3,843 tests in one day, yielding 267 of the state's 382 new positive results.

On March 25, the Commissioner of Public Health issued emergency regulations for grocery stores and pharmacies, requiring them to designate a daily shopping hour for senior citizens and provide checkout line distancing markers, hand washing and sanitizer for employees, disinfecting wipes for customers to use on carts. A ban on reusable bags became mandatory, overriding local bans on single-use plastic bags and eliminating fees for store-provided bags. Self-service food stations were ordered to be closed, and regular sanitization was required.

On March 27, the state extended the tax filing deadline to July 15 and announced new travel guidelines. State officials announced that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health Commissioner, Monica Bharel, had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2; she had mild symptoms and planned to recover at home.

On March 30, the state announced that it had conducted almost 43,000 tests of Massachusetts residents, with Quest Diagnostics having conducted 21,321 (almost half) of the total tests administered. Later that evening, the MBTA announced that 18 transit workers had tested positive for the virus. In addition, the Boston Police Department confirmed that 19 officers and three civilian employees had all tested positive.

April 1–7
The Archdiocese of Boston announced that eight priests had tested positive for the disease. On April2 Boston Mayor Walsh announced plans to convert the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center (BCEC) into a field hospital, later named Boston Hope, with 500 beds assigned to the homeless and 500 to accept COVID-19 patients from city hospitals.

On April 2, more than 500 healthcare workers in Boston hospitals were reported to have tested positive for COVID-19.

On April 5, Boston Mayor Walsh announced a voluntary city-wide curfew for non-emergency workers in Boston from 9p.m. to 6a.m., and asked all Bostonians to wear face coverings in public.

April 8–14
On April 9, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology published a preliminary study of sewage samples taken in the Boston area on March 25, in an effort to determine the extent of COVID-19 infections. Based on concentrations of the virus found in the samples, the study suggested that approximately 115,000 of the Boston region's 2.3 million people were infected. At the time of sampling, Massachusetts had only 646 confirmed cases in the area.

Starting the evening of Friday April 10, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation closed some parkways to vehicle traffic to allow recreational pedestrians to spread out, and reduced parking availability at some state parks. The city of Boston also reduced parking near the Arnold Arboretum. The Massachusetts Education Commissioner canceled MCAS standardized tests for the first time, taking advantage of a federal waiver.

On April 12, there were 25,475 total cases, with 2,615 new cases, making Massachusetts the state with the third-most cases in the United States, behind only New York and New Jersey. Massachusetts officials warned of ebb and flow of the spread of COVID-19.

April 15–21
On April 15, the Massachusetts DPH announced a plan to release town-by-town infection rates. This was a reversal from the earlier policy of discouraging the release of town-specific information concerning the number of infected in each particular community.

On April 18, Baker announced that a third field hospital has opened in Cape Cod.

On April 20, Governor Baker signed a law banning residential and small business evictions and foreclosures on homeowners (other than emergencies), for four months or until the state of emergency is ended. As of July 21, the moratorium expires on October 17, 2020.

On April 21, Governor Baker announced that Massachusetts schools would not return to in-person learning for the remainder of the academic year. He also extended through June 29 a previous order to close non-emergency childcare services.

April 22–30
On April 22, former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts announced that her oldest brother had died from COVID-19 in Oklahoma.

On April 24, Governor Baker announced that while COVID-19 cases and testing were up in Massachusetts, hospitalizations have started to decrease and reached the lowest point since early April. Massachusetts recorded 4,946 new cases partially due to an error by Quest Diagnostics in missing more than 10,000 test results, both positive and negative, recorded in April 24 data.

On April 25, Governor Baker addressed the topic of when stay-at-home measures and closures of non-essential businesses would end. When restrictions were originally announced in mid-March, they were slated to end at noon on April7; later their projected end date was pushed to May4. Baker said it was unlikely restrictions would be lifted by then because the surge of cases had hit later than expected – May4 presumed a surge in early April. Baker said the process of reopening will begin when hospitalizations start to decline consistently, and when there is "some evidence that we are in fact over the hump... with respect to the surge."

On April 28, Governor Baker extended the statewide stay-at-home advisory by two weeks, to May 18. He also said that once the advisory expires, the process of reopening will begin in stages, and not happen all at once.

Also on April 28, it was reported that at the Soldiers' Home in Holyoke, at least 68 veterans – nearly 30 percent of the home's residents – had died of COVID-19 in what is believed to be the deadliest outbreak at a long-term care facility in the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.

May 1–7
On May 1, Governor Baker issued an order, effective May 6, to require people to cover their faces in public when in situations where they are unable to keep six feet away from others.

On May 4, a group of several hundred anti-lockdown protesters gathered outside the Massachusetts State House to urge Governor Baker to lift the state's stay-at-home advisory and reopen businesses. Organizers had planned to hold the protest, named the "Liberty Rally", if businesses were not reopened by May 1. The event was promoted by conservative talk radio host Jeffrey Kuhner and Super Happy Fun America, the group responsible for organizing the controversial 2019 Boston Straight Pride Parade.

May 8–14
On May 8, Boston Mayor Walsh announced that parades and festivals would not take place in Boston at least until Labor Day (September 7).

On May 11, Governor Baker announced a four-phased plan to reopen the state. In phase one, a small number of industries that do not involve much face-to-face interaction will be allowed to return to operating, with strict restrictions in place. In phase two, more industries will be allowed to open, with restrictions including limits on the number of people allowed to gather in one place. In phase three, more industries will open, with guidance on how to operate safely. Phase four is set to occur if a vaccine or therapy is developed allowing restrictions to be loosened. The state also published Mandatory Workplace Safety Standards to be followed by industries that will open as a part of phase one. These standards include requirements for social distancing, hygiene, staffing policies, and cleaning and disinfecting.

May 15–21
On May 18, Governor Baker released the details of the plan to reopen businesses in Massachusetts and renamed the stay-at-home advisory to a "safer at home" advisory. The plan allows places of worship, essential businesses, manufacturing businesses, and construction sites to reopen with strict restrictions on May 18. Also, as of May 18, hospitals and health centers may begin providing urgent preventative care and treatment services to high-risk patients. Baker also announced that people who choose to ride the MBTA would be required to wear masks. Beginning on May 25, other businesses will be able to open, also with restrictions. Although Baker's plan includes office buildings in the list of businesses allowed to open on May 25, offices within Boston will not be allowed to open until June 1.

May 22–31
On May 26, Baker said in a press conference that the surge in COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts is over, as evidenced by declining numbers of people hospitalized by the disease. He announced that the Boston Hope field hospital, located in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, would no longer be accepting new patients. The facility has treated more than 700 people with COVID-19, and has also provided shelter to some of Boston's homeless community. Baker also said that other field hospitals around the state would begin to close. Baker also announced $6million in grants to go to small businesses to help them purchase protective equipment and implement the safety precautions indicated in the reopening plan.

The Boston Athletic Association announced on May 28 that the 2020 Boston Marathon, which had already been postponed to September, would be canceled.

June
On June 1, Massachusetts began reporting probable cases of and deaths due to COVID-19 in their data, when previously they had only been reporting confirmed cases and deaths. This change follows guidance from the U.S. CDC. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health said in a statement that probable cases are recorded for people who "have either 1) had a positive antibody test and either had COVID symptoms or were likely to be exposed to a positive case or 2) did not have an antibody test but had COVID symptoms and were known to be exposed to a positive case." Probable deaths are defined as deaths where COVID-19 was listed on the death certificate as the cause of death, but where no test was administered. Due to these changes in reporting, Massachusetts became the 5th state in the U.S. to report over 100,000 cases of the contagious disease.

On June 3, Massachusetts began reporting recoveries in their weekly data report. Previously, they had not been reporting the number of cumulative recoveries in their data. A patient is considered to be recovered if they have either been sick for 21 days or 21 days have passed since they tested positive.

Governor Baker announced on June 6 that Massachusetts would begin entering phase two of the reopening plan starting on Monday, June 8, following positive trends in access to testing and decreasing hospitalizations. The first portion of the phase will allow childcare, day camps, lodging retail stores, outdoor seating at restaurants, and children's sports programs to reopen with strict precautions. Additional services, including indoor dining and nail and tanning salons, will be allowed to reopen at an unspecified later date as a part of phase two if the positive trends in COVID-19 cases continue.

Boston entered phase two of their reopening plan on June 8.

Amid ongoing protests over the May murder of George Floyd, Governor Baker announced pop-up testing sites would open throughout the state on June 17 and 18 to provide free tests to protesters and anyone else who wished to be tested. During the period 11–17 June, Worcester county had the second highest number of deaths in the state with 39.

On June 22, WBUR reported that Massachusetts had become the state with the lowest COVID-19 transmission rate in the country. The June 22 Rt, a value measuring the average rate of transmission of a virus at a point in time, was 0.67 in Massachusetts. According to rt.live, the website calculating the values, an Rt value of 1.0 or above is considered to signify "rapid spread".

The June unemployment rate was later calculated at 17.4%, a record high and the worst of any U.S. state at the time.

July
On July 2, Governor Baker announced that Massachusetts would enter the first stage of phase three of its reopening plan starting on Monday, July 6. Phase three allows companies including gyms, casinos, and museums to open with safety precautions. Boston will delay entering phase three until July 13.

Governor Baker announced on July 8 that free testing centers would open in eight communities that are seeing high viral spread: Chelsea, Everett, Fall River, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, Marlborough, and New Bedford. These areas are experiencing considerably higher positive test rates than the state average, and the testing rate has been growing lower.

The Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference announced on July 16 that it was suspending the fall 2020 sports season. Applying to both indoor and outdoor sports, the decision impacts Bridgewater State University, Fitchburg State University, Framingham State University, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Salem State University, Westfield State University, and Worcester State University, as well as other universities which are affiliate members of the conference for football or golf.

To improve revenues for restaurants with liquor licenses, Governor Baker signed a law on July 21 allowing restaurants to serve cocktails to go in sealed containers until at least February. Also on July 21, Baker extended the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures in the state through October 17, 2020.

The MBTA resumed collecting fares and requiring front-door boarding on buses and trolleys on July 20, having installed plexiglass shields for drivers.

Towards the end of the month, Massachusetts began to experience a slight reversal in what had previously been positive trends in case data. Governor Baker blamed 'disturbing reports of large gatherings' on the uptick in cases, a trend he described as attributable to people not following guidelines rather than a result of moving forward in the state's reopening plan. On July 26, president of the Massachusetts Medical Society Dr. David Rosman tweeted, "Pay attention #Massachusetts — #COVID19 is on the rise. The numbers show it. The anecdotes show it." Rosman is among a group of people who have pushed Baker to pause the reopening plan, or move back from stage three to stage two, if case data continues to show a negative trend. The city of Somerville, which was the only city or town in Massachusetts that had not entered phase three of the reopening plan by the end of July, announced on July 31 that they would be further delaying entering the third phase. Officials said they had based the decision on concerns about case trends, issues with testing and contact tracing, and the possibility of another surge in cases.

August
Beginning on August 1, visitors and Massachusetts residents returning from out of state need to fill out a form and quarantine for two weeks, unless they are coming from an exempt state or have tested negative for COVID-19 in the past 72 hours. State exemptions are based on a threshold for rolling averages of daily cases and positive test rates; individuals can also be exempted if they are commuting for work, coming to the state for medical treatment, following military orders, or traveling to work in federally-identified critical sectors.

Governor Baker announced on August 7 that Massachusetts would postpone entering the second portion of phase three of the state's reopening plan, intensify enforcement of COVID-19 regulation violations, and reduce the limit on the number of people allowed at public and private outdoors events from 100 to 50. The changes were announced after several incidents in which large parties were found to be violating the state guidelines on the numbers of people allowed to gather, as well as on masks and physical distancing.

Massachusetts school districts were required to submit their final plans for teaching in the fall, along with detailed safety protocols, by August 14. As of August 14, at least 32 of Massachusetts' 289 school districts had announced they would be teaching completely remotely to start the school year. Boston Public Schools announced on August 13 they had requested a waiver to delay the start of the school year from September 10 to September 21, saying they planned to use the time to provide training to staff. On August 21, after several weeks of pressure from the Boston Teacher's Union and other Massachusetts unions, BPS announced they would begin the school year remotely, with classes returning to in-person learning based on need beginning in October.

Some colleges in Massachusetts began moving students in to dorms in mid-August. , students were beginning to move in to on-campus housing at Boston University in Boston and Clark University in Worcester.

On August 19, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced that all children aged six months and older would need to receive a flu vaccine by December 31, 2020 in order to attend childcare, K–12 schools, and colleges and universities in the state. There is an allowance for medical or religious exemptions, and homeschooled K–12 students or higher education students who are not going on campus will not be required to receive the vaccination. This spurred some protests, including a rally of several hundred outside the State House on August 30, from parents and those who believed the decision was governmental overreach.

In the Andover School District, which said it would start the year using a hybrid model of in-person and remote learning, teachers said they would only work remotely due to safety concerns. The Andover School Committee described the teachers' decision an 'illegal work stoppage'. When 45% of the members of the Andover Education Association refused to enter the building on August 31 for training, the Andover School Committee voted to take legal action against the educators. The teachers said they would "reluctantly" and "under duress" return to work, with the "hope that the School Committee will begin to negotiate reasonable health and safety benchmarks with us in good faith."

September
On September 3, Governor Baker announced a community messaging campaign targeted towards Chelsea, Everett, Lawrence, Lynn, and Revere: communities that were still experiencing very high rates of COVID-19.

By early September, some Massachusetts universities had received media attention when students disregarded social distancing rules imposed by the schools. In mid-August, more than 20 College of the Holy Cross students tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 after partying off-campus in Worcester, Massachusetts. The school said the students who organized the party would be punished for breaking an agreement they had made before returning to school. Northeastern University announced on September 4 that they had dismissed eleven students caught violating social distancing rules within a day or two of many students moving in. Northeastern reported they would not be reimbursing the students' tuition or housing payments. Later in September, Middlebury College barred 22 students from campus for not following the campus COVID guidelines. Following seventeen cases of COVID-19 in one dorm, Merrimack College quarantined all 266 residents of the dorm.

On September 29, Governor Baker announced that communities classified by the state as "lower risk" would be allowed to move into step two of the third phase of the state's reopening plan beginning on October 5. This step includes allowing both indoor and outdoor performance venues to open at 50% capacity (up to 250 people); fitting rooms to open in retail stores; and gyms, museums, libraries, and driving and flight schools to increase capacity to 50%. The Massachusetts Coalition for Health Equity criticized Baker's choice to continue reopening the state, citing concerns over increasing cases and positive test rates.

October
The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education announced on October 2 that they would begin providing weekly reports on the number of COVID-19 cases detected in schools. In the first report, covering the period from September 24 to September 30, 63 cases were found among students and 34 among staff. Student cases were spread across 41 districts, with Plymouth having the highest number with four cases reported.

The Massachusetts Department of Health reported in early October that there had been outbreaks of COVID-19 at a substance abuse treatment center in Plymouth, as well as an outbreak at a correctional center in Middleton. Almost a third of the patient population of the Plymouth treatment facility tested positive, as did a dozen staff.

On October 7, Boston Mayor Walsh announced that plans to allow additional students in the Boston Public School system to return to fully in-person or hybrid learning models would be further delayed after Boston's coronavirus positivity rate exceeded 4%. Also on October 7, Governor Baker announced his administration would be forming an advisory group to consult on plans to distribute a vaccine in Massachusetts when one is developed.

On October 13, Health and Human Services Secretary Marylou Sudders announced at a press conference that they would be extending through December the "Stop the Spread" initiative, which provides free testing to high-risk communities.

On October 22, the Baker administration announced a $774million plan to bolster economic recovery among businesses in the state. The same day, the Department of Public Health announced that for two weeks they would no longer be allowing indoor ice rinks to operate, following clusters of COVID-19 at various rinks throughout the state connected to indoor ice hockey.

The Boston Globe reported on October 26 that coronavirus cases in the state had risen sharply on October 22 and "have been maintaining levels we haven't seen in months". The previous day, the Globe reported that the state had acknowledged not knowing the source of infection in approximately half of the known cases in the state, raising concerns with the state's ability to identify and quickly reduce the impact of pockets of infection. Thirteen communities in Massachusetts returned to step 1 of phase 3 of the state's reopening plan after spending three weeks in the "high risk" designation, including Brockton, Malden, Waltham, and Woburn.

November
On November 2, Governor Baker announced a statewide curfew for businesses, a tighter limit on the number of people allowed to gather indoors, and stricter face mask requirements. The curfew requires some businesses such as theaters and casinos to close at 9:30pm, and requires restaurants to stop providing table service at that same time. Baker also implemented a stay-at-home advisory, to begin on November 6, to encourage people to stay home between the hours of 10p.m. and 5a.m.

In a press conference on November 12, Boston Mayor Walsh warned that if Boston sees similar surges in cases as are occurring in Tennessee and elsewhere in the country, 'we're going to have to shut everything down again. The first one was bad on business. I think the second one will be far worse.'

December
On December 3, Massachusetts' average positive COVID-19 test rate exceeded 4.9% for the first time since June. Total daily case numbers in the first few days of December began to surpass those seen at the April peak of the first wave of COVID-19 in the state. On December 8, Governor Baker announced that all cities and towns in Massachusetts would be required to roll back to Phase 3, Step 1 of the state's reopening plan.

On December 9, Baker announced an estimated timeline for distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine. The first doses of the vaccine arrived in Massachusetts on December 14.

January
Governor Baker announced on January 4, 2021 that first responders would begin to receive doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on January 11. The following day, Baker warned that it was likely that the highly contagious variant of COVID-19 first discovered in the United Kingdom had made its way to Massachusetts, and urged state residents to 'be very vigilant and careful and cautious about [their] physical engagement with other people'. On January 17, the first case of the variant in Massachusetts was confirmed.

February
On February 1, Massachusetts entered phase two of its vaccine program, making residents 75 years of age and older eligible for the vaccine. A mass vaccination site opened at Boston's Fenway Park on the same day; it is one of two such sites operating in the state, along with one at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

March
Baker announced on March 3 that teachers, tutors and day-care providers would be eligible to begin signing up for appointments to receive the vaccine beginning March 11. 'On March 10, 2020, Governor Charlie Baker declared a state of emergency, giving the Administration more flexibility to respond to the Coronavirus outbreak.'

April
MassHealth (Massachusetts Health) introduces a document stating, 'Authorized Providers for Coronavirus Disease 2019,' the new document includes, "dental providers, including but not limited to dentists, public health dental hygienists, and dental clinics," as well as, "Home Health and Hospice Providers," along with the previous mentioned, residents of 75 years of age or older. Along with a new policy stating that everyone over the age of 12 were eligible to be vaccinated.

May
The Department of Public Health releases multiple visual documents of propaganda in order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, its aims are to rule down and decrease the spread on the regional scale of the Municipalities of Massachusetts. Relating to the vaccine program, Baker releases this poster to advice unvaccinated members of the population to practice, "Social Distancing". The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education stated that, "in-person", lessons would be required starting Fall 2021.

'All Massachusetts schools and districts will be required to hold classes in-person next fall and health and safety requirements imposed by the

department of Elementary and Secondary Education will be lifted for the new school year, the department said in new guidance sent to superintendents

Thursday evening.'

June
'COVID-19 State of Emergency, Previously issued emergency orders and guidance associated with the COVID-19 State of Emergency, which terminated on June 15, 2021.' On June 15, 2021 the State of Emergency was terminated by Governor Baker, the DPH and multiple other associated state agencies, such as MassHealth. Further guidance on how to keep safe during the COVID-19 pandemic where also published during the same month.

July
An unprecedented increase in the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus happened during the month of July 2021 in Massachusetts, most noticeably of them all is B.1.617.2 (Delta). 'During July 2021, 469 cases of COVID-19 associated with multiple summer events and large public gatherings in a town in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, were identified among Massachusetts residents; vaccination coverage among eligible Massachusetts residents was 69%.'

August
The 'Coverage and Payment Policy for Services Related to COVID-19, Vaccine Counseling and 3rd Dose of Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, Vaccines for Immunocompromised Individuals' document is published, making under-12's with immunodeficient diseases eligible to be vaccinated, along with FDA struggles in an urge after the unprecedented increases of infected individuals across the U.S.A, vaccines are now further regulated within the U.S.A. and the Massachusetts region. The Delta and C.1.2 variants emerge, surging to be among the most contagious in Massachusetts.

September
On September the 1st, Marc Lipsitch argued on as to whether it may be possible that the new Delta variant would be more contagious and severe in infants and/or minors as to that of the adults and/or elderly or middle-aged people, 'There's every reason to believe that (the delta variant) is more contagious to children and from children than the older variants, and that means that at a societal level, we're seeing higher numbers of cases in all age groups, including in children.' New documents on how to quarantine are published by the Mass.gov, due to the recent new infections, as well as further debate on as to whether public officials and public servants are to be mandated to have both vaccines and/or the booster too, to help with the spread of the new variants in Massachusetts. Debates on who should be vaccinated with the booster shots on the 28th of September, as the due reason being the unprecedent recent spreads of the new variants of the COVID 2019 disease. Not only did the COVID 2019 disease affect the widespread global population, but also scientific researchers involved in researching the field of the disease, and as well as healthcare providers, proving the COVID 2019 disease to be quite severe in its consequences through its period of the pandemic.

Harvard T.H. Chan said
"October 1: Rapid Tests Are the Answer to Living With Covid-19 (New York Times)

In this opinion piece, Michael Mina, assistant professor of epidemiology, and Stephen Phillips of the COVID Collaborative argued that President Biden should take executive action to change the U.S. regulatory structure to help bring more rapid COVID-19 tests into the U.S. market. They wrote that "the White House should also treat rapid testing with the same urgency and private sector partnership approach that Operation Warp Speed pioneered for vaccines." They noted that, "for public health purposes, we need fast, accessible tests that answer the question, 'Am I infectious now?' Rapid tests can help prevent spread to your children, spouse, friend, colleague, classmate or the stranger sitting next to you at dinner.""

Rapid tests are majorly and predominantly discussed during October 2021, as to the means of helping with the spread and quarantining of citizens which were infected or otherwise could be infected — potentially. The 'Update to Caring for Long-Term Care Residents during the COVID-19 Response, including Visitation Conditions, Communal Dining, and Congregate Activities' document was published on behalf of Mass.gov, by the DPH, and the BHCSQ, in accordance with the newly formed regulatory guidelines of the U.S. Govt. federal agency of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). On the 4th of October, William Hanage, associate professor of epidemiology, discusses the average American using, "cloth masks", which are not sufficient against the COVID 2019 disease. Again on the 4th of October, William states, "[experts] don't expect another coronavirus surge in the U.S. as big as previous ones during the pandemic".

November
On the 19th of November 2021, the Providence Journal publishes a newspaper article of an interview with Shekhar Saxena, professor of the practice of global mental health, who was evidentially a guest on, "Story in the Public Square," where he talks about COVID 2019 affecting mental health as well as physical, and that no-one is immune to the detrimental nature of the [COVID-19] disease. On the same day, Boston Globe journal publishes a transcript of an interview with Howard Koh, Harvey V. Fineberg Professor of the Practice of Public Health and former assistant U.S. secretary of health and Massachusetts public health commissioner, where he said, "We are still in a purgatory, unfortunately, and no one wants to hear it, but we have to double down on our public health commitment." On the 21st, William Hanage calls the B.1.617.2 Delta variant a "super variant", further on this Newsweek calls it a "COVID Variant That Spreads Easily, Evades Vaccines". On the 24th, the newly discovered, "Omicron", B.1.1.529 from South Africa is published in scientific research newspaper articles...

December
…and spreads through the worldwide news in mid-December 2021, a little while after the discovery it spreads worldwide at an unprecedented demographic herculean rate. On the 4th of December 2021, Sikhulile Moyo, director at the Botswana Harvard HIV Reference Laboratory, the explorer in immunology and infectious diseases scientific field discussed about the newly discovered B.1.1.529 variant of the COVID 2019 disease, stating its rapid everchanging state to be quite worrying for the public.

The B.1.1.529, B.1.617.2, and C.1.2 COVID 2019 are the most noticeably and predominantly of the COVID-19 disease variants: contagious, infectious, severe, and worrying; for both the public and healthcare providers.

2022
This year is the most evidentially prosperous and uplifting of the pandemic.

January
Throughout the course of the late 2021 year the total number of cases has gradually started to decrease from week to week, but (as of January 19, 2022) there is still a total of 1,389,830 confirmed COVID-19 related cases of the 38,031,854 tests (meaning that 3.65% of the tests tested positive)$(1,389,830\div38,031,854)\times100=3.654384032 \therefore $ it is ~3.65%, 14,647 newly reported cases, and 199 newly reported deaths relating to the COVID 2019 disease and its variants.

Aviance (horse)

Aviance (6 May 1982 – after 2006) was an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. She was unbeaten in two races as a juvenile in 1984, including the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes. In 1985 she failed to win or place in four races but ran well in defeat in several top-class races including the 1000 Guineas and the July Cup. After retiring at the end of the season she became a very successful broodmare, and is the female-line ancestor of many good winners.

Background
Aviance was a small, "lightly-built" chestnut mare with a narrow white blaze bred in Ireland by the Ballydoyle Stud. She raced for most of her career in the colours of the British businessman Robert Sangster and was trained in Ireland by David O'Brien.

She was sired by Northfields, an American horse whose biggest win came in the Louisiana Derby in 1971, before spending most of his stud career in Europe. His other winners included Northjet, Oats, North Stoke and Northern Treasure. Aviance's dam Minnie Hauk was a daughter of the influential broodmare Best In Show, whose other descendants included El Gran Senor, Try My Best, Xaar, Jazil, Rags to Riches and Redoute's Choice.

1984: two-year-old season
Aviance began her racing career in a maiden race over seven furlongs at Leopardstown Racecourse in July. She started the odds-on favourite and won "impressively" by six lengths from twelve opponents. On her second, and only subsequent run as a two-year-old, the filly was stepped up to Group 1 class for the Phoenix Stakes over six furlongs at Phoenix Park Racecourse in August. Ridden by Declan Gillespie she started the 7/4 second favourite behind the Vincent O'Brien-trained colt Magic Mirror, who had won the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. The best fancied of the other six runners were the unbeaten filly La Escala and the colt Beginners Luck. Aviance was among the leaders from the start, went clear of her rivals approaching the last quarter mile and won by three lengths from Well Related, with La Escala and Magic Mirror in third and fourth. Plans to bring the filly back for a run in the Cheveley Park Stakes were abandoned as she had "gone in her coat".

In the official International Classification of two-year-olds for 1984 Aviance was given a rating of 75, seven pounds behind the top-rated filly Triptych. She was rated the third-best Irish filly behind Park Appeal and Alydar's Best. The independent Timeform organisation gave her a rating of 111 p (the "p" meaning that she was expected to make more than usual improvement) making her fourteen pounds inferior to Triptych. In their annual "Racehorses of 1984", Timeform described her as "a filly of considerable potential".

1985: three-year-old season
Aviance began her second campaign in the 1000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile course at Newmarket on 2 May. Ridden by Christy Roche she started at odds of 9/1 in a seventeen-runner field and finished well to take sixth place, three lengths behind the winner Oh So Sharp. In the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh three weeks later she failed to reproduce her best form and finished eleventh behind Al Bahathri. The filly was then dropped back to sprint distances and matched against older horses in the July Cup at Newmarket on 11 July. She ran well and disputed the lead for most of the way but faded in the final furlong and came home sixth of the nine runners behind Never So Bold.

After the July Cup Aviance was formally transferred to the ownership of the Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos, whose colours she carried in the five furlong William Hill Sprint Championship at York Racecourse. Ridden by Roche and starting at odds of 10/1 she was in contention in the first half of the race but faded in the last quarter mile to finish seventh behind Never So Bold.

Her performances in 1985 saw her awarded a 112 rating by Timeform, 19 pounds behind Oh So Sharp who was the top-rated three-year-old filly.

Breeding record
Aviance was retired to become a broodmare for her owner's stud. After the death of Niarchos in 1996 she passed into the ownership of Flaxman Holdings, the breeding company of the Niarchos family. She produced at least fourteen foals and nine winners between 1987 and 2006.

User:Namcokid47/List of Galaxian video games

Galaxian (ギャラクシアン) is a shoot'em up video game franchise developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, formerly Namco. Some entries were outsourced to other developers, such as Hasbro Interactive, Bandai and Paladin Studios. The series first began in 1979 with the arcade game Galaxian, which was Namco's first major hit in the video game industry, seeing ports for multiple home consoles, handheld systems and mobile phones. Most games in the series have been fixed shooters, although some have delved into other genres such as rail shooters and twin-stick shooters. Entries in the franchise have been ported to several home consoles and included in many Namco video game compilations for multiple platforms. Galaxian is one of the most successful arcade games of its time, selling over 40,000 arcade cabinets in North America alone.

Galaxian and its sequel Galaga are cited as some of the most influential games of the genre, the latter being called one of the greatest video games ever made by several publications. Later entries in the series have been met with a more mixed reception — some, such as Galaga Legions and its DX update, have been praised for expanding upon the gameplay in earlier titles, while others, such as Galaga: Destination Earth, were criticized for being poor updates of the original. The success of the series has lend itself to other forms of media, including soundtrack CDs, apparel, garage kits and literature.

Talk:The Black Room (album)

Chat from 2003
hmmm, okay, so what was the copyrighted text? are you referring to the whole document? or just the lyrics to the unpublished song 38? cos the page that you've put the link is a page on my website - and yes, i did basically just lift the text straight from that page to this one, because the text comes from a FAQ for the mailing list for fans of the KLF and as such is a public domain document. from the text at the top of the original plain text verison of the FAQ: This document is completely anti-copyright (of course) so you can copy, print, repackage, transpose, sample, quote as much or as little as you want so long  as you make no money from it or pretend its yours. anyway, i've removed the lyrics, since they could possibly have been copyrighted i guess. let me know if you still feel there is a problem with the rest. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Illitrate23 (talk • contribs) 11 September 2003.

whoops.. I didn't see that.. sorry... I don't think the lyrics would be a problem... Evil saltine 05:32, 12 Sep 2003 (UTC)

The lyrics got added again recently, and I've removed them again. First of all, the source is the KLF FAQ which is not a verifiable source. Secondly, if they are genuine they are subject to copyright (not that The KLF would sue of course). --kingboyk 18:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Intro
I think the line "According to Vox magazine it is "considered by those who've heard it... [to be] The KLF's finest album".[1]" should be moved from the intro, because I feel it is a load of nonsense hype - I don't think there was ever a finished or even semi finished version so no-one can have listened to it. I think maybe the genesis for this example of poor journalism came from the 1992 break up story in Select, where Mark Stent says:

To the engineer / producer Mark Stent, the resulting music was pure genius. "The most awesome track for me was one called "The Black Room and Terminator 10" which was like a very slow tempo thrash. It was mad. It was brilliant, absolutely brilliant, and it would have shown a lot of people up because it was as ballsy as hell. Guitars screaming all over the place, Bill doing his vocals and Dean doing his. There was such a raw power to it. It was so different from anything anyone else had ever heard. This was really heavy."

I mean I'm not arguing, it is a fact that Vox magazine said that, but I feel that by including that line in the intro it ascribes that quote an importance it doesnae deserve. Cheers - Drstuey 13:38, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Right on man, I think you're correct there. I've been off wiki for a while and worryingly Vinoir has disappeared, so I hope The KLF articles are still in good shape... --kingboyk 21:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

KLF or JAMs album?
As the album was not released, we don't know for sure whether it would have been a JAMs album or a KLF album. Whilst we can always hope that Bill and Jimmy will one day heed Z's advice to (paraphrasing) "honour their responsibilities" and complete the work (Bill or Jimmy, if you're reading, 2020 is 23 years after your last release of music, so now would be a good time :)), that seems unlikely.

The evidence we have tends to suggest it was to be a JAMs album: the inclusion of "It's Grim Up North", the "KLF BIOG 011" info sheet which referred to The Black Room by the JAMs, and indeed the quotation from Drummond's 45 - about Z attempting to persuade him to complete the album - where Bill refers to The Black Room as "[the] album that me and Jimmy as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu started but were too afraid to complete" and where he goes on to say "The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu's LP, The Black Room, was never finished". The X Mag piece doesn't say which name would be used. "Pump Up The Jams" obviously refers to it as a JAMs album. The other sources are vague.

The later sessions with Extreme Noise Terror produced the version of 3a.m. Eternal that saw release under the KLF moniker, but contradictions like this are from atypical. The KLF's contributions to Shag Times were remixed JAMs tracks, and the KLF produced the JAMs' "It's Grim Up North". There don't appear to be any sources present which specifically state that it would be a KLF album other than Lazlo's discography which claims that "The KLF: The Black Room (album) featuring Extreme Noise Terror" was announced in Japan as Toshiba/EMI TOCP-7185.

tl;dr As far as the lead and infobox are concerned, the sources suggest to me that the album should be attributed to the JAMs. I'm not sure whether we need to rename the article, as it would have been a KLF release in one way or another as it was recorded for and intended for release on KLF Communications (in the UK at least). If anyone is reading this I'd welcome input on whether to rename to "The Black Room (JAMs album)" or leave as is. If there's no response I may revisit and rename at some point or just leave as is. --kingboyk (talk) 12:44, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Imogen Cairns

Imogen Jayne Cairns (born 26 January 1989) is a British former artistic gymnast who competed at the 2008 and 2012 Summer Olympics. Representing England, Cairns was a three-time Commonwealth Games champion in vault, twice, and in floor exercise.

2006
In March, Cairns competed for England at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. She contributed an all-around score of 54.800 towards the English team's second-place finish and won the vault final with a score of 14.325. The next month, she competed at the European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Volos, Greece. The British team placed seventh, and Cairns placed eighth on vault with a score of 13.850.

At the British Championships in Guildford, England, in July, Cairns placed fourth in the all-around with a score of 54.900. In event finals, she placed second on vault, scoring 13.450; third on uneven bars, scoring 13.500; fourth on balance beam, scoring 14.100; and second on floor exercise, scoring 14.250.

In November, Cairns placed fifth on vault at the Artistic Gymnastics World Cup event in Glasgow with a score of 14.012. In December, she placed seventh on vault, scoring 14.037, at the World Cup event in São Paulo, Brazil.

2007
Cairns broke her wrist in April 2007 and was in a cast for twelve weeks. After recovering from that injury, she broke her ankle. Her coach, Liz Kincaid, said, "Imogen was vaulting with a wrist support on and noticed during her hurdle step that the support had come undone. She tried to pull up and crashed into the vault and broke her ankle." These injuries caused Cairns to miss the 2007 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

2008
In April, Cairns placed fifth on vault at the World Cup event in Maribor, Slovenia, with a score of 13.775. After the event, she said, "I know internationally most people thought I had retired. Sorry, got me for a little while longer! Even in Great Britain, people thought I had finished. I find it hilarious."

At the British Championships in Guildford in June, Cairns placed fourth in the all-around with a score of 55.650. In event finals, she placed first on vault, scoring 14.200; second on balance beam, scoring 14.900; and first on floor, scoring 14.550. She was named as an alternate for the 2008 Summer Olympics, and made the team after Laura Jones was injured.

Beijing Olympics
Having stepped in to replace Jones, Cairns competed at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing alongside teammates Becky Downie, Marissa King, Beth Tweddle, Hannah Whelan, and Rebecca Wing. She helped the British team finish in ninth place and finished 33rd in the individual all-around with a score of 57.050.

After the Olympics, Cairns injured both her ankles while practising on vault. She said, "I rolled both my ankles—the bones weren't snapped, but everything else was. I was out for at least eighteen months with that injury. I had drilling of the bone, two operations on each ankle, and I couldn't walk properly for six months. Ever since, they've been good, but they will never be great. Every now and then they are too painful and I can't train. I have to have injections to numb my ankles, and I've been told I'll have arthritis in them by the time I'm 30."

2009
Cairns decided to return to training in 2009. She said, "I thought about quitting because I was out for so long. I put on a bit of weight and got my social life back and I thought, 'This is it.' But when your whole life has been gymnastics, you do miss it. I thought, 'I have nothing to lose if I try to come back.' It was just pure determination. I wanted to do it."

2010
At the British Championships in Guildford in July, Cairns placed fifth in the all-around with a score of 54.550. She won the vault final, scoring 14.000, and placed fourth on balance beam (13.200) and floor (13.650). She said about her return to gymnastics, "I thought that getting to the Olympics in 2008 would satisfy me, but having battled through injury, I just have something inside me that tells me I have much more to give. Having been through the highs of the Olympics and lows of injury, I can honestly say I now take things step by step. I learn from successes and setbacks, and put these to good use. I think I've matured, and I set myself personal goals."

At the beginning of October, Cairns competed for England at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. She contributed an all-around score of 53.500 towards the English team's second-place finish. In the all-around final, she placed fourth with a score of 54.650. "One year ago, I didn't think I'd be able to train again," she said. "I think I was only just getting back to walking. Gymnastics just wasn't in the equation until my surgeon said that anything I did to my feet couldn't make them worse—so I decided to go for it again." In event finals, Cairns placed first on vault, scoring 13.775; eighth on balance beam, scoring 11.950; and first on floor, scoring 14.200. After the vault final, she said, "The gold today perhaps means more this time around, having been injured in both feet after the Beijing Olympics and being off for 15 months."

Later in October, Cairns competed at the 2010 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Rotterdam. She contributed a vault score of 14.633, a balance beam score of 11.833, and a floor score of 14.033 towards the British team's seventh-place finish, and placed eighth in the vault final with a score of 13.999.

In November, Cairns won the vault final at the World Cup event in Stuttgart, Germany, with a score of 13.937, and placed second on vault at the World Cup event in Glasgow with a score of 13.875.

2011
At the British Teams competition in Guildford in May, Cairns contributed scores of 12.900 on vault, 11.650 on balance beam, and 12.500 on floor toward The Academy's fifth-place finish. In July, she competed at the British Championships in Liverpool, placing first on vault (13.925) and third on balance beam (13.450).

At the 2011 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Tokyo in October, she contributed a vault score of 14.133 and a floor score of 13.700 towards the British team's fifth-place finish.

2012
In May, Cairns was set to compete at the 2012 European Championships but was replaced with teammate Ruby Harrold to allow Cairns more time to recuperate from minor injuries.

At the beginning of June, Cairns competed with gymnasts from Finland and Spain at a friendly meet in Ipswich, which also served as the second British Olympic trial. She placed fifth in the all-around with a score of 54.350 and third on floor with a score of 13.500. Later that month, she competed at the British Championships in Liverpool, the third and final Olympic trial. She placed fourth in the all-around with a score of 55.500. In event finals, she placed seventh on balance beam, scoring 12.450, and second on floor, scoring 14.100.

At the beginning of July, Cairns was selected to represent the United Kingdom at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, along with Tweddle, Whelan, Jennifer Pinches and Rebecca Tunney.

London Olympics
At the Olympics, Cairns contributed scores of 14.266 on vault and 13.500 on balance beam towards the British team's sixth-place finish. Cairns retired from elite gymnastics soon after the 2012 Olympics.

Injury
Is there any information on the nature/cause of his career-changing injury? And, while we're at it, does this sentence make any sense to anyone: "Originally a talented trombonist, he was forced to abandon that instrument after a jaw injury left him unable to play (although he played brilliantly on the George Russell Sextet album Ezz-thetics after sustaining the injury)." Was he able to play after the injury or not? CulturalSnow (talk) 08:42, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

I've been struggling with this project for quite some time now. I seem to be just rearranging existing content, moving deckchairs around on the proverbial ship. Or to mix some metaphores I can imagine that it's like climbing a mountain. From a distance its clear where the peak is but up close its just a shear cliff with no obvious route to follow.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show (2nd nomination)

The result was no consensus to delete at this time. The comments from anons/new users shouldn't be ignored because they actually make meaningful arguments. And several established contributers also want to keep... so there's clearly no consensus to delete. W.marsh 02:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Jargon of The Rush Limbaugh Show (2nd nom)
Delete textbook cruft. Unverified through anything other than listening to the show, of limited interest to a circumscribed minority. At the first AfD they glossed over this point. This could be s merged back in to the article on El Rushbo - a half dozen terms at most. But this article as currently constituted is ridiculous. - CrazyRussian talk/email 02:54, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. fancruft and Wikipedia is not a collection of FAQs. Gazpacho 04:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete list page and merge only those instances into Rush Limbaugh that can be strongly verified using reliable secondary sources. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 04:28, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is an illegal vote. GFDL requires that history be preserved. If we're merging, we must redirect. If we're deleting we cannot merge. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:30, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh? Fine, read it as reduce, merge, and redirect. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 04:38, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, to be really precise GFDL doesn't protect facts or sources. So if someone took the time to re-investigate and type into the article themselves very simple information (as opposed to copy/pasting) then it would be GFDL compliant. -  brenneman  {L} 05:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Qualifies for inclusion as a glossary of terms used by Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh's use of lanuage and rhetoric is widely discussed and analyzed - books and articles are written on the topic . By citing an essay and personal opinion on the interest of the material, the nom has not made much of a case for deletion. However, looks to me that the subject would have very broad interest among those researching American culture, political history and etymologies. A number of the terms do seem to be referenced, but better referencing would be welcome. --JJay 12:13, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Provides a useful space to merge Limbaugh's new epithets as they are invented, and having them here is preferable to having articles on each.  - Smerdis of Tlön 14:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This page was interesting. If anything it should be moved to the "Rush Limbaugh" page, but it's definately relevant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs).
 * Delete, I'm sure one of the editors has a Rush Limbaugh fan website where this would be much more at home. Recury 18:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Absolutely Keep, Limbaugh jargon is used to parody and satirize the object of the jargon. It is a distinguishing feature of his program and therefore required for a encyclopedic entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs).
 * Delete-complete fancruft and at best it's a list of neologism which have no place here anyway. Now if there was a reliable source somewhere that had an article explicitedly about rush Limbaugh's jargon then you would have grounds to keep it. As it stands, it's WP:or cruft. <IP_ADDRESS> 23:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per the Crazy Russian. This is clearly cruft, although I agree with User:Ihcoyc that this is better than independent articles on each neologism.  Is that really the alternative?   Eusebeus 09:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as above unless fixed up to reference the sources which JJay refers to for each and every item; Wikipedia is not a dictionary of quotations and neologisms, verifiability is not optional and there are no eventualists round here. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:21, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Following your logic, articles like List of High Kings of Ireland might have to be immediately deleted since there are not references for "each and every item". There are plenty of eventualists here. It's a very valid approach. --JJay 12:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You nominate it and I'll give you my opinion at the AFD. There's at least a degree of difference between "I picked up a book and copied out what it says" lists, which are verifiable and sourceable by adding the book(s) the material was extracted from as reference(s) (i.e. there are two lists of High Kings of Ireland in Frank Byrne's Irish Kings and High Kings, albeit neither matches the main list in the article in question), and "who knows where this stuff came from ?" ones like this. The fate of both articles should be to be reduced to verifiable, and thus shorter, lists. However, we're now at AFD for the Limbaugh list, so the time for eventualism is past. Angus McLellan (Talk) 12:56, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs).
 * Keep for the following reasons.
 * I am new to wikipedia, but if what I hear is really true--that, for example, lists and descriptions of each and every Simpsons episode reside here--then I don't see how Limbaugh jargon qualifies for deletion. "Unverified through anything other than listening to [or watching] the show" (quoting CrazyRussian above)  ?  Check.  "of limited interest to a circumscribed minority"?  Check.  Simpsons episodes and Limbaugh jargon must plead guilty to both charges.
 * As for a positive argument for "keep," I endorse what the "absolutely keep" entry said above: "Limbaugh jargon is used to parody and satirize the object of the jargon. It is a distinguishing feature of his program and therefore required for a encyclopedic entry."
 * As for the verifiability problem:
 * This can be fixed for most entries in this article. For example, a lexis-nexis search on " 'feminazi' AND 'limbaugh' " yielded 120 results in "major papers" and five in "magazines and journals."  I am sure that among those is an article that could be cited where relevant information about "feminazi" could be mined.
 * For any entry that cannot be found in published articles, it would suffice to reference a date when the term was heard on Limbaugh's show, since audio archives of the show are available.
 * Delete on Wikipedia/Add to Wikiquote A solution that editors on the Mark Levin page came up with, for dealing with a similar list of Levin jargon that was overwhelming the article, was to move the full list to Wikiquote and keep a representative sample of 5 items behnd on the master Levin page. Would that not work here as well?NYCTommy 03:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is precisely what I suggest in my nomination. - CrazyRussian talk/email 04:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw that. Also wanted to chime in and mention the Wikiquote option that we used on Levin, which helped win over those opposed to outright deletion of the list.  If implemented on Limbaugh's page, the Rush jargon would survive intact at Wikiquote and you culd easily provide a link to it in the jargon section of the 'pedia article.  I suggest voters here check out Mark Levin for an example of how this worked in practice.NYCTommy 13:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. OK guys, I did a little research and I see that there is an article on wikipedia titled "List of neologisms on The Simpsons." It is 78 kilobytes. I just don't see how the list of Limbaugh jargon is any worse.  Maybe the title of the Limbaugh article should be changed to "List of neologisms used on The Rush Limbaugh Show"? <IP_ADDRESS> 05:18, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are many items in that list that should be pared. However, the list itself should stay. There are several notable entries with their own articles on it, such as D'oh! and Cheese-eating surrender monkeys. Some entries are sourced. The ones that are not sourced and do not assert significance should be removed. - CrazyRussian talk/email 13:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete fancruft. CaliEd 01:51, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There is a history of phrases coined by Limbaugh that enter common use, such as feminazi and drive-by media.--Bedford 18:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Limbaugh Show in itself is notable enough for a glossary of terms used on the program. -- Crevaner 01:02, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Like Limbaugh or not, the terminology used in his show has permiated society. Even if you don't agree with him, knowing what in fact is being inferred is a worthwhile excercise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk • contribs)
