    It's surreal watching TV and seeing ads to come test drive a car, or shop at a store, etc. when everything is shut down.

    They really should ban the use of money. Credit card or debit card only transactions only.

    Another hallmark of totalitarian governments. Track every purchase you make. The cashless society is one of the goals of the globalist.

    Also, lower income people are less likey to be able to use cards.

    I think both the Post and the Times have made their coronavirus coverage free to all.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    We've always known that the real racists were the black people.

    If it weren't for all those black people that somehow invaded this country, Asians would never have experienced the discrimination that they have in their history here.

    Talking about what's happening now. Asians have to be extra cognizant around black people as they have been doing the higher profile harassments. I would recommend that all asian americans have a personal weapon on them at all times in public.

    Whether it be a gun, mace, stun gun, knife, etc.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I love how you label it the "higher profile harassments," i.e. "the ones I've heard of from my not-at-all politically slanted twitter sources."

    You definitely have to watch out for the higher-profile harassments. Lower-profile harrassments aren't too much of a concern.

    I was harassed and threatened with assault on a bus by a homeless black man last year. The guy threatened to knock me out because I bumped into his foot by accident. I diffused the situation by walking away (he continued to follow me on the bus), but now I'm going to have a weapon on me to proactively end the situation.

    This shit happens way more often than you think.

    There's a large, homeless mentally unstable population here in LA, even in the nice areas. Not all of them are black, but a lot of them are. And they look/seem like they will be a problem.

    No doubt, plus the percentage of deaths typically go down as the number of infected people go up which will likely mean deaths are going up. 3.4% of 1,000 infected people is 34 deaths but 1.27% of 10,000 people is 127. the percentage dropping was always likely to happen but so are the total number of deaths rising. The USA is still way behind in testing so we don't even really know how many are actually infected.
