shadowkatI honestly don't know why some people can see them and some can't. Complain to DW?
What I can tell you is - the only way I can upload photos is via "copy image location" from either Facebook or Google. It's easier now - because FB usually had Save Picture As - which doesn't work. But now, has copy image location. If you click on upload image or copy image - it won't upload. Live journal allowed me to upload directly from my computer or Google docs. Dreamwidth requires copy image location, or you have to pay a lot of money and put it in Flicker or Photobucket - which charge now. For a long time, I stopped bothering with posting photos because it was a)time consuming, and b) I couldn't remember all the steps - you'd have to upload in Google, go to Goggle, click something, then something else, and finally get copy image location. It was a nightmare. Now - I can copy image location directly from FB and ignore the whole Google nightmare and most of my flist can see them.
If you can't? Complain to Dreamwidth about their horrid image upload system.

What these photos prove is that there wasn't that many people at Greenwood Cemetery today and the idiots on the Kensington FaceBook Page telling people that they shouldn't go unless they are visiting their mother's graves - because it was too crowded are wrong. Actually, there's a huge misconception that the cemetery is just a cemetery like any other cemetery - it's not, it's a National Historic Landmark and a park, which has tours, walking and otherwise. And has extended its times so people can stroll. Not to mention it's landscaping - it has turtle ponds. [I restrained myself from ripping these folks a new one on FB - because no good ever comes of correcting folks on social media. I'm not going to change their mind - it's very hard to change people's minds about anything on social media.]

There's so many variables - and really only experts can interpret some of them. John Hopkin's COVID Map of Doom is hard to really analyze correctly, because other countries haven't provided the same level of data that the US has. I've no clue, for example, how many deaths or cases Russia really has or India for that matter. I'm guessing more than we've been told. And in the US? There's so many that haven't been counted. New York has kind of figured that out - and is trying to do anti-body tests on everyone they can get to take a test. Because that will tell them how far it has spread, and who had it and recovered without knowing about it. So far, they've discovered quite a bit by doing this - such as their cases came from Europe not China, and that they came earlier than March. And that there is possibly more than one strain.
