You can go to the trump rally @ the Covid dome in Tulsa next week. 20,000 rednecks spitting all over each other for two hours. Don't forget to sign the disclaimer you won't sue trump.

I’m afraid I’m busy. No, I don’t need a specific date.

Man talk about hate. Now imagine if you said that about a group of people who are not white. Stay classy.

Yeah, Jeff Foxworhty would be out of business.

I want no part off 20,000 anything’s!

I didn't realize that the total US number had remained as steady as it has.

So basically for the most part the cases are just shifting from the original epicenters to a more diffuse spread around the country.

Case numbers have leveled out, but deaths continue to drop. Some possibilities reasons:

- The virus is mutating to something less deadly
- We're doing better at protecting the most vulnerable so it's mostly young, healthy people getting infected
- We're getting better at treating
- Deaths count trends lag a couple weeks after case count trends so we might see that decline end soon as well

With uneven testing data, the only thing you can (almost) reliably count is deaths. Dead is dead. That seems encouraging from multiple sources I’ve seen, but who knows what a month or two will look like?

I would 20,000 in any denomination of US bills

Or you can go to "CHAZ" if you can endure the stench of piss, feces, and body odor. Social distancing doesn't apply to anarchists I guess. I mean, the media sure hasn't said anything about it.

Party of science

Over the two last weeks, Mayor Bill de Blasio and others have voiced concerns that packed police brutality protests across the city could trigger a new wave of COVID-19 infections.

Whether or not that’s the case, however, remains unknown — and de Blasio’s team won’t be directly trying to find out.

The hundreds of contact tracing workers hired by the city under de Blasio’s new “test and trace” campaign have been instructed not to ask anyone who’s tested positive for COVID-19 whether they recently attended a demonstration, City Hall confirmed to THE CITY.

“No person will be asked proactively if they attended a protest,” Avery Cohen, a spokesperson for de Blasio, wrote in an emailed response to questions by THE CITY.

X Factor -

I believe it's now "CHOP". You need to stay current with your lefty anarchist cop-free zones.

Ironically, whenever the media mentions the reduced social distancing, it always goes back to the Ozarks pool party images over Memorial Day weekend. Never the protests.
