China has lost so much clout right now and they're trying to act like they haven't been damaged...

I’m glad the states are slowly opening back up, but people need to still practice safety. Face masks should remain a requirement. Keep a minimal distance of 3-6 feet from others. Can’t go back to how it was before December.
High school pool party sparks second surge of coronavirus cases in Arkansas with the state recording a record spike in daily infections last week

A high school pool party has sparked a second surge in coronavirus cases in Arkansas, according to the state's governor.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson said the state, which allowed restaurants and gyms to reopen earlier this month, was now seeing 'a second peak' in infections.
He said a number of those new infections have been linked to a pool party attended by high school students.
'A high school swim party that I'm sure everybody thought was harmless. They're young, they're swimming, they're just having activity, and positive cases resulted from that,' Hutchinson said.
The governor would not reveal further details about the party, including how many people tested positive, how many people attended or where it was held.

As of Sunday, Arkansas had recorded just over 5,900 COVID-19 infections and the death toll was at 116.
The number of daily infections surged by 454 last Thursday, which is the biggest single increase in the state since the pandemic first broke out.
That second surge came about a month after there were 291 new cases reported on April 21 in what was believed to be the initial peak of the state's outbreak.
Gov. Hutchinson described it as the 'second peak'.
'It's clear and evident to me that we have one peak, and then we've had a deep dip, and then we're having a second peak right now, and they're really about 30 days apart,' he said.
Last week, Arkansas and 10 other states - including Alabama, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Maryland, Maine, Nevada, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin - reported a record number of new COVID-19 cases.
Total US cases are over 1.6 million, the highest in the world, while forecast models for possible COVID-19 deaths predict the death toll will exceed 100,000 by June 1.

While Gov. Hutchinson refused to provide additional details about the pool party, he said the incident should serve as 'encouragement for us to be disciplined in our activities'.
His warning came on Saturday at the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend.
'During this Memorial weekend, we want to be out and we want to enjoy ourselves, we want to remember this holiday and those that have served our country and given their lives in service of our country,' Hutchinson said.
'But let's be safe and let's be disciplined at the same time.'
Elsewhere in the country, the Memorial Day weekend marking the unofficial start of summer meant big crowds at beaches and warnings from authorities about people disregarding social-distancing rules and risking a resurgence of the virus.
On the Sunday talk shows, Dr Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, said she was 'very concerned' about scenes of people crowding together over the weekend.
'We really want to be clear all the time that social distancing is absolutely critical. And if you can´t social distance and you´re outside, you must wear a mask,' she said on ABC's 'This Week.'

I mean...seriously yall...what did you expect to happen?
Cases to go down when people resisted social distancing orders and stopped wearing masks?
Viruses don't work like that sorry...
Nobody wants this...we want to get back to normal but you can't force life to go back to normal with a killer virus out there with no vaccine and limited testing thats already taken tens of thousands of lives in this country alone.
This is going to push any progress we've made back as states individually surge with cases due to not following orders...but whatever. No one cares and you cant force entitled spoiled Americans to stay at home even if its for their own health, safety, and well being.
