We need a unified 3rd party. If only

How many lawsuits are average for elections? Is this a first time occurrence due to Trump being in office?

I knew he tried to throw out 110k+ Texas drive thru ballots but I heard that was declined by the courts?

I actually prefer this. Can travel anywhere, take a test a few days before and be good to go once I land. It beats having to quarantine for 2 weeks, it's only 3 days now.

Cuomo just launched a new covid traveling requirement. Syracuse, N.Y. -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo today eliminated the ever-growing quarantine travel list with a new testing requirement for those entering New York from other states. Instead, all people entering New York will have to bring proof of a negative coronavirus test, Cuomo said. That test must be within three days of coming into the state. The traveler must then quarantine for three days. On the fourth day, the traveler must get another test. Once that second test comes back negative, the person is no longer quarantined, he said. If traveler doesn’t get tested, then he or she must quarantine 14 days after arriving in New York -- no matter where they come from, Cuomo said. People who leave the state for just 24 hours will follow a different requirement, Cuomo said. For those shorter trips, the person must get a negative test within four days after returning to New York, he said. https://www.syracuse.com/coronavirus/2020/10/cuomo-replaces-quarantine-travel-list-with-new-testing-rules-for-travelers-entering-ny.html?utm_campaign=syracusedotcom_sf&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&fbclid=IwAR0PITterJcGVoHt12ZPqtLRH7JyWJgjKlF5Rd6BGNP-v3x0OuNpApBC_c8

Medical professionals were caught off guard and did not know what they were dealing with initially with covid. It took some time to come up with proper treatment plans. People were being put on ventilators almost right away at the start of this pandemic which led to the high mortality rate initially. That rate has since been declining. Now we have theuropetics that work quite well against it. Look at Trump for instance, 3 days and almost back to full health. Regeneron and Remdesevir are able to take a big hit in the symptoms of patients and hospital stays.

I think we see a dramatic rise in cases for several months but deaths won't likely keep up with the trends of previous months due to better treatment. Vaccines likely start early next year. Going to be a rough couple months though.

Everyone was wearing a mask in line but no one was 6 feet apart. This article explains how wearing a mask inside does limit spread, but it will still infect at least a few in an environment of long term close contact inside. https://english.elpais.com/society/2020-10-28/a-room-a-bar-and-a-class-how-the-coronavirus-is-spread-through-the-air.html

The large gatherings are already taking place. The polling place I went to at Town Hall had hundreds of people in line through small corridors all tightly packed together. Far more people are congregated together in voting right now then will be at thanksgiving. Everyone in line was talking about how many Covid violations are being made the entire 30 minute wait to vote.

My good friends best friend committed suicide 3 days ago. 3 kids and a wife, no warning signs. This pandemic is definitely affecting people.

Yes. Just never washes his hands, like ever...He's a slob. Also a plumber.

He said the main therapeutic they are using is Remdesevir. It lowers the number of days in the hospital by approximately 50%.

My friend in California works on covid floor stated that it is only being used in Beverly Hills west hollywood hospital, but if you're wealthy enough you can probably get your hands on it. Their hospital is too poor for it. But looks like its only available in a hospital setting at this moment.

My dad is the most unhygienic person on the planet and I've never seen him sick.

Treatment at the beginning of the pandemic was terrible, deaths are declining while cases increase. The virus is not nearly as deadly as once thought. Regeneron helps reduce viral load in patients. https://www.biospace.com/article/covid-19-by-the-numbers-mortality-rates-in-u-s-decrease-despite-uptick-in-cases/ https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/regeneron-says-its-covid-19-antibody-treatment-cut-medical-visits-n1245197 The most recent data (from the week ending October 10) showed excess deaths only 0 and 2.9 percent higher than historic data. A look at the data shows that excess deaths peaked the week ending April 11, with 35.6% to 40.6% more deaths than usual, then began a downward trajectory through June 20, when the incidence of COVID-19 rose in Sunbelt states after declining in the North and Northeast.

I'm keeping my windows open all winter.

I voted yesterday. Line took 30 minutes to get through, extremely busy polls. I've never seen them like they were yesterday. Voting numbers are going to be setting records.

Looks like they're not overturning previous decision even with Barrett in place. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/28/politics/supreme-court-pennsylvania-mail-in-deadline-barrett/index.html

Doesn't he need Wisconsin and Michigan to win electoral even with FL and PA?

I've had many "liberal" friends move to Texas the last few years. Dallas, Austin, Houston are transitioning into young towns. I see Texas as the next state to primarily vote blue. It will take some time, but in the next 10-20 years I see a gradual transition.

With Barrett now on the Supreme court they're going after mail in ballots hard the next week in Pennsylvania. Going to be an interesting next few days.
