Charles Darwin says: "Don't sweat it, I've got this..."
Exactly. This is what I always think about when I read about quarantine protestors, spring break, parties such as this...
But then, these morons become more likely to spread it to more vulnerable, more innocent people... and that's the real tragedy of the disease.
Sadly this is absolutely astonishing!
Without trying to relativize, the figure of 116K WW I dead does not include the victims of the so-called "Spanish flu", which by the present U.S, administration's standards should probably be called the Kansas flu, does it? But it's still almost exactly the double of Vietnam U.S. casualties over about 15 years.
You are correct, it does not. 675,000 Americans died from the Spanish flu in 1918, on top of 116,516 US casualties during WW1.
So it was safer to go to war, there is a difficult choice for you.
Meanwhile, the de-lockdown is going on : our prime minister has announced the second phase, with openings of parks and gardens, no distance limits on travels, and repopening of cafés and restaurants (with movie theaters to follow). But the rules on social distancing at work and masks on buses and trains still apply.
He does not like you and will retire on the European mainland after he is done. :))

A further 2.1 million US citizens have filed for unemployment benefits this past week. There is now a total of nearly 41 million jobs lost in the United States since the coronavirus outbreak begun. This is over 58 times bigger than the previous highest unemployment rate in U.S. history (695,000 jobless citizens in 1982).

Well Trumps knows everything better and he will solve it himself, any future pandemic.

What will be very interesting, is whether people will feel safe going back to work since so much of New York City is dependent on public transportation. If we could teleport from home to work (like Star Trek 😊) this wouldn’t be an issue. Personally, I have an important errand to run in the city next week that will require me to take the subway for the first time in two months. Nervous? You bet.
Wear a mask (of course) and gloves to hold the hanging straps/grab handles. I don't recommend sitting down.
I have much to say on this sub-topic -- but I won't. Trying not to get political here. Let's just..... go for some nice, soothing music instead. Yeah, that's the ticket. Here's Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention from 1966 in response to the Watts riots. The more things change, the more they stay the same. "No way to delay, that trouble comin' every day."
And before I forget: yesterday was the biggest daily word-wide rise in new cases (just over 125,000 new infections). So despite Asia and Europe seemingly over the 1st wave of the pandemic, the world-wide cases are increasing at never-seen rate since the pandemic started.
Which areas are now being hit the most, @DaltonCraig007?
Nothing weird about it. They are made up by clueless politicians, often following political negotiations between parties. What a freak show.
Exactly.
