“How many will die now that the states are opening up”

The whole purpose of the stay at home, social distancing and mask wearing was to give our system a chance to get ready when it does happens. It was to buy the US time to develop treatments and to get the equipment/material in place.

Hard for people to take it serious when they do not trust the media reporting anymore. The media and the democrats have yelled wolf so much people do not believe them on the real threat.

The only way people will practice social distancing and start wearing a mask is only if they know someone they care about die.

If the projections are correct and the hot weather does not slow it down, they will know soon then start caring.

The only way people will practice social distancing and start wearing a mask is only if they know someone they care about die.

The anti-mask covidiots have hardened in their stance. It's to the point of religious fanaticism. They will die before they wear a mask. And they will lash out at anyone who wears a mask or other PPE. Just like that incident in Oklahoma. A die-off will prompt the moderates to practice social distancing and wear PPE. But the hardened anti-mask covidiots? They are a lost cause.

Yes.

In case it isn’t clear to anybody, the hard part is ahead of us, not behind us. Use the lull - right now - to stock up. Last time was just practice.
