    Over 161,000 cases today and we lost over 4000 people in the last three days. That is 9/11 every 48 hours or so.

    Costco near me started putting the line outside again. Haven't had a line but I think they are starting to crack down a bit

    I think people have pandemic fatigue

    I see people masked up too. I also see, and know, that people are gathering in small and large groups without masks...and they are inside now because of the weather, so air is circulating with virus. Restaurants and bars are open as well. So are gyms

    we were at the coast a couple of weeks ago, and and 3 different piers I saw mobs of people, close together, fishing and crabbing. And most were not wearing masks

    (guess) more than anything though I don't think it's a coincidence at all that if you look at the arcs of the surges, nationally and in states, they really started to climb about 2-3 weeks after kids went back to school, even if it was on a limited basis.

    the only way we might slowly get a handle of the surges is for states to start locking down again. The economy is going to go into the toilet anyway as the pandemic becomes a mounting disaster

    This is exactly why Donald Trump needed to take this seriously from the beginning. You hit something like this hard from the very beginning. If he would have done that we would be 9 months into this and in a much better position. But unfortunately we had an Idiot as a president and he didn't want to wear a mask. You put something like this down fast and ease restriction after it is under control. You do not create issues at every turn and then watch it kill hundreds of thousands and then try to control it.

    As you post a tweet with 9 of the 10 people actually wearing a mask? I did not see you posting these kinds of pictures about Trump rally's without masks? Why so hypocritical?
    Both issues were not a good look. If you are gonna post on gatherings, post on all gatherings.
    I happen to agree with the tweet. I question why people felt the need to act like fools?

    The Trump team blocking the transition team from getting data is Donald Trump way to continue to make America dead just a little bit longer after he is forced out of the white house. It should be punishable by law, but it will not, sad.

    First off, you don't know what's coming.

    Second, if Trump had used even a modicum of common sense back in February, we very likely wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

    So do you think lockdowns are effective?
