OT Coronavirus: America in chaos, News and Updates. One million Americans dead and counting

Well, we kind of have an idea. Mass deaths means mass graves, and intelligence can pick that up, as we've seen in Iran. So while China probably is undercounting by a factor of 2 or 3, and maybe by as much as 10x, it's hard to believe that they are undercounting by 100x.
And if they are 'only' undercounting by 10x, we'll still blow past them (80,000 dead here by August according to the best case scenario presented at the White House today).

But you have a point about them relaxing their restrictions. That could lead to the virus coming back on them quickly. However, they can knock it down quickly in ways that we can't - not likely we'll be welding anyone into their apartment, for example.

70 Austin Spring-Breakers Chartered A Plane To Mexico. 28 Of Them Now Have COVID-19.

Seventy young adults are being investigated for COVID-19 exposure after taking a chartered plane to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for spring break roughly 10 days ago, Austin Public Health says.

Of those 70, 28 have tested positive for COVID-19, and dozens are under investigation by the public health authority; four had no symptoms.

The individuals in their 20s flew out together, then took separate flights back, which allowed for the spread of the virus, APH said in an announcement Tuesday morning.

Wear a SCARF: Donald Trump tells people to cover their faces 'if they want to do it' as he acknowledges there are NOT enough masks to recommend that everyone wear one when they go outside

• President Trump floated that Americans can wear scarves in lieu of masks if they're concerned about contracting coronavirus
• 'Scarves are very good and they can use a scarf and we're only talking about a limited period of time,' Trump said Tuesday
• Health officials have been hesitant to tell all Americans to don masks outside in fear that it will strain the medical community's ability to get them

Hindsight is how we evaluate job performance.

I think he's been anything but consistent. Just a few days ago he was saying let's fill up the churches on Easter, for example.

"Ok, Mr. Trump, let's do your annual review.

You played golf when you were supposed to be working, and when you weren't playing golf you were on social media.
You insulted our customers and gave company secrets to our competitors.
You lied constantly in order to try to make yourself look better.
You burned down the factory and 3000 employees died.

Really great work, Donald! Look for something extra in your paycheck starting this month."

Re-electing him to keep continuing forward might be the single dumbest, ill-informed and logically vacant reason to re-elect him or any president who has bungled and botched the job as much as he has.
