Have you ever ran with a mask?

The CDC and WHO say you can run without a mask. Just maintain your six feet of distance.

Nah homie, young people are having strokes due to this. We keep saying its not killing young people, but having strokes and not being able to breathe again without a ventilator isn't small potatoes. Just because they aren't dying doesn't mean lives aren't drastically changing as a result of infection.

And there are tons of people who are fine who’ve had it. Once again I’m not saying don’t take it seriously

yeah there’s been deaths or people who’ve had bad things happen after getting it and tons who haven’t. I just find it weird the people who only want to look at the negative and worst case scenario situations and get upset when anyone brings up any optimism or hope.

Downplaying the virus is not optimism.

U sound just like these republican morons who downplay the virus with false information and fake hope.

Noble Peace Prize?

You mean Nobel, you Jackass!


We really have a president that cannot spell, puts everyone in the wrong context, and advocates his supporters to drink bleach

And he is TLR favorite.

He’s gone off the rails.

His feelings are hurt and he’s lashing out.

He’s gone off the rails.

His feelings are hurt and he’s lashing out.

His meds no longer working. Even the Murdoch clan said that to never follow Trump too far, cause that will cost GOP their seats.

So it seems to me...

• This First Wave is dying down a bit, Wuhan is showing more signs of life but I bet there are some Covid-19 incidents, but not as much.
• Italy is getting back to life.
• Spain soon.
• I think places like New York and Los Angeles should be getting back to some normalcy by Early June.
• Not sure about the South.
• Now comes the 2nd Wave. When will we know when the 2nd Wave is? Will it be a Mutated Strain or will it be the Same Strain?

Regardless this Economy will get interesting in Summer.
