Many in the professional class will not be getting that $1200 check.

Not even close to getting my money back. A "Thank You" from the recipients, instead of Karen-level virus shaming would be nice.

I noticed the same phenomenon on BART in the SF Bay Area too (I commute to work in SF using BART). All of Feb, the commute trains were packed with white people as normal. By early March, the trains were emptier, with fewer whites noticeably. By mid-March (my last BART trip was March 13th, before switching to 100% telework), I was the only white person left on the trains, which were by then (other than me) 100% black.

Then the following week BART started running fewer trains.

Exactly this. The only thing we have to guide us is actual data, and the closest thing we have to real data is the number of excess deaths in a locality.

New York is a dumpster fire — a substantial spike in excess deaths vs. expected. We don’t have to play the game of did this person die with or of the CCCP Virus — just the real numbers.

And in the wide open spaces of the American West, where we don’t huddle on subways and ride crowded elevators, there’s a lot less reason (as in virtually none) to apply the same strategies as New York.

But it’s soon going to be academic: people are simply going to stop obeying random, irrational and overly restrictive decrees.

Yes, that glee at “finding” and exaggerating and publicizing ANYTHING that prolongs the shutdown, that prevents a solution, that makes Trump look bad.

this is an excellent article and actually isnt about Biden. It needs to be widely read.
