I agree. Thumbs up for this post!
Cases are now surging in 27 states.
The United States are about to overtake their April peak in terms of new cases. The 2,500,000 confirmed cases milestone is expected to be reached today or tomorrow.
Trump administration has ordered the end of the federal funding for coronavirus testing sites as cases surge in 27 out of 50 states.

Are we supposed to write off 2021 too at this rate?
No, we're supposed to vote Trump out of office in November of 2020. To quote J.L. Picard: Make it so!
Yes, regardless of what you think of Biden, this is extremely important.
With any luck, the next long-term US President will be whoever Biden picks as a running mate!
And yes, as a Canadian, I’m affected by the results of the US Elections.
I think the whole world is affected by these results.
Meanwhile, my government has made it clear that it doesn't want to opt for a full lockdown ever again. That is brave, of course, but when the fit hits the shan, what will they do instead? The idea is to contain possible peaks more locally. Good luck with that in a country that's barely the size of a pocket watch.
In just about any other election year, he would be seen as an absolutely terrible candidate. I also believe he's in the early stages of dementia. But I'll still vote for him over Trump! (not that it matters, since my state always goes blue).
For the record, I hope he picks Val Demings for VP. I can't stand Kamala Harris.
My worry would be that, because Democrats don't like Biden, they'll just stay home and not vote, securing another win for Trump. Seems like many only want to vote for fun and exciting candidates (Obama, Sanders).
Biden is polling very well right now, even in the battleground states that Trump won back in '16. So earlier in the year I would say there was more danger of what you're describing, but it seems to be turning for the better. We'll see. Fingers crossed.
Good news!
I think he's perceived as the slightly dopey yet caring grandpa to Donald's mob boss persona. Should be no problem as long as the electoral kindergarden, er, I mean college isn't coerced into doing the wrong thing again despite a landslide....
One wonders why it still exists. It made sense, maybe, in a world with less technology, but now?
I suppose just because it maybe helps Republicans.
Democrats like Biden. He's the nominee, and he's ahead of where Hillary Clinton was at this point.
I also think that at this point we Americans just want someone sane in office.
It's good that he's ahead of Clinton. Him being the nominee doesn't seem to mean much with regards to how popular the candidate is to their party, ironically. But maybe that's just among my age group.
The second point is of course true, and hopefully helps Biden win.
Cases are now surging in 29 states.

Texas has paused re-opening as cases are dramatically increasing.

Health officials say the actual number of infected in the US has topped 20 million, 10 times the government's official numbers.

Yesterday, the USA recorded over 40,000 new infections for the first time.
And compared to the previous outbreak centered around the New York area/region, cases are currently surging in 29 states, including the 3 the most populated ones (Texas, Florida, California).
Today we received the news of ICU's having reached maximum capacity in several hospitals in Covid-19 hotspots.
If we analyze all of this, use the previous peak as a scenario, and add the usual 2 weeks delay between infection and death, the US death-toll (currently at 126,700) is looking to reach 200,000 in July and 300,000 by late August/early September.
Bearing in mind North America is as big as Western Europe you can see that Texas is just continuing its first outbreak, where as NY is in decline.
Not a second peak in the truest sense - ie states that flattened the curve are now increasing exponentially.
He's talking about "slowing down testing," even as he and Pence ("I call my wife 'Mother'") are being constantly tested.

Florida set their record for daily new infections yesterday, with 5,508 new cases. Today, Florida has once again had their worse day yet, with 8,942.
Florida has recorded more new infections in the past 2 weeks than in the previous 3 months combined.

Pretty depressing.
My daughter is young and healthy, and I am not concerned for her. But if I contract this I am likely a goner, due to underlying health problems. But it would be okay. My kids would be left with a massive amount of money from my life insurance, enough to get them through college and then some.
Don t be ridiculous. The whole world still needs you. Be careful.
World-wide, yesterday was the worst day yet, with 194,190. new cases. Of those, 94,248 were recorded in only 2 countries: USA and Brazil.
