I love the protests but how many more lives will be taken with the virus. I always said blood would be shed before any change. I just didn’t realize it would be through a virus as well as violence.

There is still not an effective treatment protocol or vaccine...
There is still not a drop in nationwide new cases...

The Memorial Day and May re-opening cases are coming soon or showing up now...
The post-protest super-seedings are coming...

I cannot see any path forward that thwarts at least 200,000 dead and it make get a whole lot worse than that by the fall.
Trump needs to resign immediately *though he won't.

What makes it worse is that the local municipalities are going to be very reluctant to implement any new S-A-H or sheltering ordinances. Not that they'd do much good at that point.

I've read several articles which say we should be building up our spent reserves of PPE, food, and cleaning supplies for the Fall wave. However, this is falling on deaf ears for the most part.

Our Target stores are currently closed and the Grocery stores are low as well. I was at Costco the other day, and NONE were to be had.

Finally! I was able to grab Boneless Skinless Chicken Breaststroke after 6 weeks of not seeing any. CRAZY!

It's disgusting and killing a whole lot of loved ones.

People are still going to keep their heads buried in the sand.

Then when the shit hits the fan, they are going to piss and moan that NO ONE warned them.
