It’ll be interesting to see what’s up in 9 months.

Pretty sure I've addressed these topics before in-depth.

Oh well.

Here's some background detail about how Europe flattened the curve and the US didn't. (Parents Advisory Warning: this video contains science.)

https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us...-its-reopening

What the video doesn't discuss is how or when the US will reach a position to lift lockdowns safely. To take just one recommended parametre for easing a lockdown safely: your incidence of daily new cases should be at 4 per 100,000 of population. European countries, at their peaks, had between 7 and 9 cases per thousand, so they beat that daily figure down by at least 5 cases before they eased lockdowns. The US is currently at 18 daily new cases, so they need to beat that number down by 14 cases in order to open safely.
On just that one parametre, Trump's bungled leadership means that the US now has to achieve a reduction in daily cases that is three times what Europe had to do. That's a challenge that the present admin may struggle with: that they couldn't get it right first time, when it was easier, is not encouraging.

They’re not going to Disney World.

Oh please please please let Trump start denouncing Canada in his tweets.

Dad hospitalized with coronavirus after son, 21, apparently infected entire family, mom says
Michelle Zymet said she had pleaded with her son not to go out. "The younger generation, they just don't get it," she said. "We are trying to open everyone’s eyes."

Goddamn. He’s 21, living at home - she should’ve said if you go out don’t come back.

To be that lucky to have a family providing you with food and shelter and you thank them by giving them a ****ing disease.
