That is some serious brand of crazy and stupid.

Missouri had the voting and 40 got the virus but no deaths. This could be similar. Maybe get the virus but not bad or death result. Not everyone seems to get it. I wish they’d follow up on who was there and got the virus.

at the time the event happened. I'm pretty sure had the election happened in NY at the same time, we would have seen more severe consequences. But there seem to events that lead to more infections than others. People standing in a line with limited talking and some distance between them is different than groups of people celebrating or people cheering in a packed stadium distributing droplets throughout the arena.

The still shots are from the National Mall.

and look at all the foo....err volunteers.

Rounds 1, 2, 3... a total knockout!!!

just don't understand why it's such a big deal to watch a handful of planes fly across the sky.

Yeah, they're in tight formation, but it's not like they are doing stunts or anything. They are just flying by.

I too was a USAF brat and also served in the Air Force. You are correct, planes kind of lose their mystique when a teacher on base has to pause while the jets take off LOLOL

HOWEVER, I understand people watching planes a hell of a lot more than I understand people watching golf, or cars going in a bit oval.

A death cult is still a death cult.

Jim Jones = trump

I got news for those COVID denying religious nuts--Jesus doesn't have the antibodies because he hasn't walked the earth in almost 2000 years!

Just title them American's "Wave 2 beginnings". Come on do people really think the virus is gone? 1 week after opening GA, 1000 cases yesterday and 1000 cases today. The virus is still here and still strong.

So let these people get us herd immunity.

hey lets have a spit-in on the mall!

"What happened to all my supporters? Where did they go?"

going to his twitter to mention that.

I'd do it but my first message on my Twitter account asked him to resign - and I got banned for several days. I may never post a tweet again it was so traumatic.

i have been very honest with him and have not been blocked.
I don't think he sees my tweets, assuming his keepers mute them or something. I do it for myself and my blood pressure.

And I wasn't blocked permanently. Twitter wanted my cell number which I just don't give out Since I don't reliably answer it or check for calls - and I do NOT want texts from internet companies.

A day or two after they blocked me, they sent me a welcome message. I haven't tried posting since I got that since I don't really want to tweet much. I just wanted to hassle Trump by asking him to resign.

Maybe I should sent him another RESIGN, YOU TWIT! message and see what happens!

i always feel better when i tell him about himself even though i know he never sees it and is incapable of believing it if he did.

Not just the virus, just too much going on.

We're almost at the end of the construction on our addition so all the picky little details are coming to a head. I'm a late night person and like sleeping till late morning. The construction crews show (when they show up) early - the framing crew was getting here before 6 AM! So I am suffering a severe lack of sleep. Every time I sit in my recliner I fall asleep - and a few times have done it at my desk.

Maybe three more weeks and we will be nearly done - aside from landscaping and fixing problems we found along the way - the roof above our screen porch has been leaking since it was new and since that is below the upstairs deck, it's not that easy to fix.

On top of this is the virus and not being able to truly stay isolated, and the political mess. I want to volunteer, but until the addition is done I really can't.

Too bad so many fools.

Think 4th of July fireworks will be cancelled?

I know this will be an unpopular opinion, but I have always hated the Blue Angels and other flight shows. First of all, I can't stand the noise. Secondly, I have always feared what kind of major civilian catastrophe could happen if they crashed mid-air and landed in a heavily populated area. I just don't really go for that kind of thing. It doesn't impress me at all.

and probably came in from VA or MD (i.e., "tourists" ).

And I expect actual city residents are close to or are at home (and maybe out on a little front yard or backyard or porch/deck - with street after street of row houses).

I've been seeing more people out. i only go out briefly a couple times a day to walk the dog. I'm getting more paranoid by the minute because as a country we are not facing this crisis together and so we will lose. I keep thinking about WWII when the entire nation was united against a common enemy. Now millions of us are convinced that the rest of us is the enemy and refuses to recognize that this is an actual, deadly, pandemic.

i fucking hate republicans and blame them 100% for this state of affairs. with a great deal of scorn reserved for the media.

The state lockdowns, whether lifted or not by the Governors, will likely be widely ignored by June, if not earlier. People are growing restless, especially with summer coming. Only an absolute horrific death toll will scare people back inside I fear.

One month - max, during which time governments should have expanded testing and ramped up hospital capacities. If it didn’t happen, then open the gates and go for herd immunity, the old fashioned and most effective way at expense of high death toll.

If they were going to be near others shouldn’t they have masks ? I thought that was helpful
Maybe I’m wrong or maybe they don’t care
They said to wear masks here now food shopping etc

It’s apparently not real to them yet.

Building when the air show went on. The poor dogs were scared to death.

Wow.

...are indeed jawdropping in their stupidity.

Yes.

The Democrats are all home trying to save everyone's lives

... at a place called Domino Park, crammed together and not social-distancing while laying on the grass, like it was just a regular Spring day.

New York, of all places!

Oh, well. I can only control what I do, happily hunkering down in my apartment like a cockroach for now.
