But the media will attempt to blame it on people going back to work.

I was down at the protests. Most people were wearing masks and keeping 6 feet apart. Not everyone, and not when they were fleeing in panic after being gassed. But we and others were sure taking precautions.

And as expected, several of the "re-open" states, 2 weeks later, are seeing cases jump, read this thread:

Those states all have a very high number of tests and have been testing at a much higher level. They have been going back and backlogging their results to bring their overall numbers up to date but their data on test results isn't accurate as far as a specific day. It's similar to what other states did when they changed how they were recording deaths. It caused what looked like massive spikes in a singe day's death count when that wasn't the case.

How many of the increases are due more to an increase in testing?

We crossed 120,000 deaths today. We are definitely on the worst curve of any country's. Texas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia and Carolinas are the new hot spots now. The USA never got out of the first wave.

All those graphs. The graphs. The models. We need more of that, and completely unsubstantiated wildly off-placed concern about a pathogen that has proved to not be as contagious as we have been consistently told, or as deadly.

We have been at this now for 3.5+ months here in the US. The world economy was wrecked over it. Entire sectors, including the airlines and travel. Children stopped seeing their friends. Alcohol and drug abuse went through the roof. Millions of small businesses in the United States alone were destroyed and will never come back.

Yet, we have another set of graphs, predicting the end of the world.

Here is a real number for you for deaths: 120,000 / 326.7 million = 0.00036731. Since you probably suck at math, that's 0.036% of the population of the US.

Here is another number for unemployment claims: 42.6 million / 326.7 million = 0.1429446. Since you probably suck at math, that is 14.29% of the population.

That't the reality of this complete cock-up of policy based on garbage models using epidemiology, which itself is not even a science.

Guess what, the American Public is done with this garage. If you want to cower in your basement forever and use Zoom, have at it. Everybody else is done with this garbage.

And, that doesn't even take into account that eventually we need heard immunity anyways, since there are no real plans for vaccination anyways.

Epidemiology is not a science?

ONLY 120,000 Americans have died BECAUSE we “locked down”.

Why are we supporting those financially suffering so poorly? Half a trillion dollars of taxpayer money has been distributed, and trump and mnuchin are not telling us where it went.

Where is the outrage on THAT?

Also, please provide stats on alcohol and drug abuse, and a source for “millions” of small businesses being destroyed.

Find new sources of information. The one(s) you are using are not giving you the full picture.
