Take good care of yourself, @CraigMooreOHMSS. Hope you get well quick, my friend.
You ARE aware that Florida was leading the amount of COVID cases day-bay-day for months? dethroning New York? Because NY had a lockdown and Florida didn't want to? Something about leadership?
And check this list out:

Top of the list is North Dakota, led by a REPUBLICAN. Just spelling it out for you. But as I said before, the virus isn't interested in political colour, it's interested in getting on to the next victim. And if people don't use precautions, or are actively discouraged to do so, then the virus is the winner.
Oh crap.
Here's what happened in Naples yesterday: urban guerrilla.
People just don't get what the lockdowns are for. I understand they're neither pleasant, nor convenient, and many people face financial hardship. But the longer we keep ourselves trapped in this mess, the bigger the damage. These riots are just more waste of time, money, effort, ...
Mass idiocy and hysterics, fuelled by misinformation. Humankind hasn't evolved one bit. What a crying shame.
Couldn't agree more with you, @DarthDimi. Your posts have been a beacon of lucidity.
Thank you for the compliment, @Univex. "Overpraised, I'm afraid," as M would say. Because you, me and many others here pretty much agree on everything and we all see the seriousness of the matter. Adding fuel to my anger are those who still seek to either downplay the virus or who willfully turn this into a debate about entitlement and freedom. I have not yet forgotten the tragedy that has befallen one of our very own veteran members, whose parents both sadly passed away last Spring after fighting corona, contracted while working impossible hours in intensive care units full of other corona patients. It's always painful to lose loved ones but to lose them because of the clandestine parties at home, public gatherings without mouthmasks/social distancing and more stupidity of others, now THAT's a "capital I" injustice right there. Boo-hoo, they've taken away our freedom to receive friends at home. Boo-hoo, we can't attend group activities anymore. Let's make sure those we love remain healthy first, and then rebuild society.
It gets even more infuriating when politicians, who have been elected with a mandate and the well being of the people as their responsibility, delibirately spread misinformation and exemplify irresponsible behaviour...
What do you call a leader who divides, who mocks the problem rather than offer a solution, who takes his country backwards in time rather than forward? A tyrant? A despot?
Negative much, nop, just a romantic turned realist. You and @jobo are absolutely correct.
But wearing a mask is too much to ask. Staying home is too much to ask, even when our homes are fortresses of luxury, palaces of leisure, kingdoms for each "me", "I" and "mine". Restricting your personal contacts is too much to ask, even if we have technology that enables all but holographic projections into your living room.
Worse, people prefer to pretend that it isn't real and they worship at the altar of a symbol of corrupted power who mocks the virus.
If that is how people behave, wow, what will we do when new technologies have to be implemented, when our usage of energy and water will be rationed, when we have to take in countless climate refugees, all of that while lobbyists and possibly also presidents maintain that scientists are wrong because what do they know, right? I'm talking about 10 - 20 years from now. Unless Americans keep telling themselves that all those floods, hurricanes and draughts are an act of god...
... like corona, or so I was told.
Welcome to what used to be my science fiction nightmare. What year did Soylent Green take place in again...? ;)
Yeah. ;) I was thinking the same thing.
Harvey norman in australia and probably the bezos owned amazon in the usa ??, and more ????
