Huh, so some states re-opened too quickly and folks aren't following medical guidelines to prevent the spread. And that led to this explosion in cases.
WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT
I'm legit terrified of the US hitting 100K new cases a day, more than double what we're seeing now. This country seems to be incapable of pulling together during a pandemic and it's literally killing us.
So the EU opened external borders to 14 countries only, to be reviewed each 2 weeks. The big ones, USA, Brazil, Russia are outside of it, I fully expect political whining about the bad EU. Countries can, however, chose to not open their individual borders, it is all on suggestion level. And right now it seems like keeping said list small is a good choice :/
Short, but positive. Dont be a grumpy cat.
I came into this thread and asked what the next spike would look like. I was told no spike would happen. I think they undermined their Republican governors ability to march to the dollar at the cost of grandma's across their states. So sad.
Philadelphia thought about mandating masks outside, but then realized there wasn't any way to enforce that..."self-policing" was the term they wanted to use.
A few weeks ago, I joked with my mom that the US would start getting banned from visiting other countries. More countries should do it, too. Sucks for those of us with friends and family abroad, but I'd ban us.

Our local Costco is requiring masks, and provides free masks at the entrance if you do not have one. I went in yesterday to restock and there was a lady at the front arguing, nay, screaming at the poor worker who was trying to get her to wear her free mask.
Yeah I don't think this problem is going away anytime soon.

It's more than a tabloid and it always has about 6 dozen links in each story...they might sensationalize stories but they back most of them up with actual links to proof and data

Yesterday I watched a dude sucker punch a guy at the front door of a box store because he was getting hand-zy with a female manager who was trying to get him to wear a mask.
It's getting nuts out there.
No one seemed upset at the guy punching
Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!

Christians are Forced Birth Fascists against Human Rights who indoctrinate and groom children. Prove me wrong.
I guess what I don't understand is why there is so much pushback? Even if this was "only a flu", isn't it common courtesy and generally expected to wear a mask or stay home to avoid spreading the flu to family, friends and coworkers? It boggles my mind.

As someone who is allergic to smoke, I can tell you this is not shocking to me in the least bit. People don't generally have a "common courtesy" when it comes to the well being of others if its an inconvenience to them. We have seen this before with a lot of smokers who refuse to move so their smoke goes down wind. Who got mad that a building would ban smoking indoors for the health of others. In general, get angry when told what to do because they won't be considerate of others while smoking.
This is why none of this behavior shocks me. Its always happened. Most people didn't notice because it didn't directly impact them. Its always been there.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
What's worse is that we seem to have not only finally consolidated almost all the stupid, selfish people into the same political party, where they've found strength in solidarity, but also seen them apparently "legitimize" said stupidity as an actual platform.
Thus, any question of sense vs stupidity perforce becomes a "political" issue.
