    Dirty masks  are helping the spread but no one wants to mention that.  

     

    Or you could treat your dirty masks like dirty underwear and not share them. Or at the very least wash them.

    This is 5 days or so in a row with declining numbers in Michigan.  Not sure if it is a trend or a blip.

    The halting of indoor dining 10 days ago may have contributed.

    TALK...LEAD....UNITE....MAN UP

    You’re trying to talk sense into someone who is still mentally struggling with the importance of masks, let alone appreciating and understanding the responsibilities of leading a nation of 330 million.

    They don't care. I've posted studies here. They are purposely ignorant. Im ****ing tired of it. 

    Everybody knows a guy like that. The type who’ll say their uncle had lung cancer but never smoked as a way to justify their own 2 pack a day habit.

    Between all the Biden celebrations and Notre Dame storming the field I’d say Covid-19 was the real winner today

    I understand the excitement but I agree that filling the streets was stupid.

    I wouldn’t say magical. I just agree with the approach this region has over what the Midwest is doing. Hell I believe even golf courses were closed up there until mid Summer

    April is not mid-summer.

    As I said earlier that’s probably the worst idea. People have had it and are doing tons of private gatherings where the spread is happening.

    I’d rather have people at a Michigan-Michigan State football game with 20% capacity or a restaurant with limited capacity spaced out as you’re allowing people that recreation with safety measures.

    It’s why numbers with the exception of Florida are fairly low here in the South. The fatigue is not nearly what you have in the Rust Belt.

    The amount of family and friends I have trying to visit is wild right now. While cold weather plays a factor, they all talk about how they’re sick of not being able to go to games or how restricted things like bowling alleys and restaurants are up there

    Restaurants have been reopened forever, and bowling alleys reopened a month ago.

    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.

    Treatments have improved, and hospital stays have shortened as a result. The problem is balancing that against a bigger swell in cases and the flu season - though as someone mentioned earlier, the flu by itself might not be as big this year with people being more conscientious about handwashing, mask-wearing and social distancing.

    It’s still a sustainability issue, and now rural areas with reduced access to proper medical equipment are getting slammed.

    Won't matter who's president, as long as people are in bad health, they'll die if weak enough.

    Big wake up call to people who think being fat is ok.

    For people with cancer, Type 1 Diabetes, congenital heart and circulatory problems, asthma, and any other lung diseases, it absolutely matters if they had a president who actively worked to mitigate this disease.

    There hasn’t been a COVID task force meeting in weeks and 30% of the country is programmed into thinking that the worst is behind us, so they’ll be even more lax in their social distancing/mask wearing/hand washing, while daily cases are reaching record highs and deaths are just starting to creep up to 1,000/day.

    Yes, I'm sure we'll have an armed insurrection if people can't dine indoors at Applebees for a couple weeks.

    It won’t even go that far - there’d be limited capacity. Though I think you attributed the original quote to the wrong person. :)

    You won’t have another hard lockdown bc there’s 300 million firearms in the country. Also does it even matter at this point? Most spread is occurring from cookouts, events like wedding, hangouts at this point.

    People have adjusted from going to bars and public events to hanging out with friends regularly. That’s aiding this thing

    As someone who stridently supports the 2nd Amendment myself, I find your statement goes against all of us responsible gun-owners, who far outnumber the irresponsible ones.

    And I doubt there are going to be many cookouts and weddings in November-March, at least in the Northern tier.

    This is kind of typical… After the first 6 to 12 hours of euphoria starts to wear off people run out and go find the model runs that don’t look very good and all the suddenly it’s grouse time lol

    It’s like sucking the lime before the tequila shot.
