I don’t disagree, but the problem is the president and he will not change. This is why I was so upset before corona. His presidency is going to destroy the US. We are seeing it unfold right before our eyes. Country completely divided at a time where y’all need to be coming together and on the smart page. Sad to see.

I moved to the US in '14 so all i've got are student loans and a 1.2k check.We out here giving students money while the US can’t even give the working public money.
Question tho, not sure if you know, would students who are getting the 2k/mth check also receive this 1.2k
My guess is the 1.2k are for full time students who didn't qualify for the 2k relief checks. 3.2k/mth would be crazy and spark outrage from our Conservative party lol.

another guy that works from nbc got it he got it thru his eyes while on the flight to NO...he had gloves and masks on
That's why I laugh when people say "I have gloves and masks"
It's been told on TV since March that the droplets can transfer the virus via your eyes. That guy who worked for nbc is a virologist. I don't know why he didn't have goggles on.
Goggles sold out where I'm at.

We 3 months in and you just NOW ask this
There's link in this thread to a online store that sold mask in bulk do remember it?
yeah, I’ll go ahead and listen to what the doctors, scientists and experts are saying
The same ones that said there may never be a vaccine? I think you should listen to them and adjust your expectations accordingly.
uk extended their unemployment coverage by four months as well, while republicans are desperately finding ways to open up the country so they won’t have to do the same.
i couldnt have really said it better. this notion that people who dont want to open are afraid is buggin me for some reason. i ust see it as taking necessary precaution.
but my theory on some of these states "opening" is its more to appease those who are bytching. some states may never leave the yellow zone. and going forward some states may yo-yo between red yellow and green for the rest of the year.
with all of that said i cant lie ive lost hope in there being proper checks and balances from both side. and ive lost hope about there being any policy effecting your avg citizen to make their life better. but thats just me

I know the reality of the situation is grim. You were fed a simple solution that if it didn't work could easily be blamed on the people that didn't "follow the rules." That solution was never going to work here. The "experts" have a very narrow focus, and within that narrow realm they are not even in agreement on everything in regard to this virus. There are factors beyond that narrow focus, however, and infectious disease experts don't specialize in how to deal with those factors, or even really consider them. That's why the science is sound but the implementation is not feasible. Not in America anyway.
More people are going to die. In multiple seasonal waves over time. And there's nothing anyone can do about that. Eventually this WILL become "just the flu." Or, just another round of COVID, be vigilant folks. You're going to have to normalize tens of thousands of people dying around you from this disease. You can whine, cry, make your typical stupid posts but it's not going to solve anything. And not only will you be dealing with the sickness and deaths you'll be dealing with (at least for some time) these regulations that were supposed to prevent this. Everyone is going to get the worst of both worlds.
You're going to accept this reality or kill yourself. But eventually the echo chamber won't be enough for you. Buckle up.
