Surrender noted on Trump's part

We'll see what happens over the next 30-60 days, not much else to say at this point.

I do think these easing of restrictions are gonna hit their head on a ceiling so to speak, but not something I really feel like debating. Obviously novel situations easier to analyze in hindsight.

He should have a coherent plan tho, which I dont think he does. (other than 'let the states handle it')

250,000 deaths by October will be hard to defend

Now it's back to his responsibility to decide for the states

Wonder which was the wind will be blowing on 5/16





As for me, NYC was not S Dakota yesterday, NYC is not S Dakota today, and NYC will not be S Dakota tomorrow

Other than NY it hasn't been bad. The main reason of that states failures is the dumbass governor and mayor of NYC

My county isn’t that bad but surrounding counties are. So we’re still shut down.

Governor has been excellent. Our county executive has been great as well

The wreck or the booze is a decent analogy when you think about it.

I will say now that time has passed the # of deaths and what gets put down as the cause is for sure clear as mud. Definitely not cut and dry.

I do still believe this virus is much worse than just the common cold like some tried to compare it too at the start.

I do still believe certain measures needed to be taken at the start to help slow the spread and bring awareness to the virus.

I have noticed this virus has been turned into a huge political tool and has further divided an already divided people. The mask vs no mask debate..etc etc...

I also was reassured that our government and political officials are self centered and only care about their own agenda not the people. From dumping stocks ahead of announcements to Pelosi and company wanting to blame everything on our president and take no blame...and of course stuffing stimulus package bills with whatever agenda they wanted passed ahead of what was best for citizens. Both parties.

Nicely stated

OP rocking some Greta-level math. yeah, testing is way way up so positive tests are up. percentage-wise though (you know...the thing that really matters) shows it's significantly decreased from March and April numbers

more inconvenient news, https://abc13.com/6186911/

COVID-19 cases still rising across Texas, hospitalizations remain flat


And statewide, as of Thursday, there were 130 fewer people in the hospital compared to two weeks ago.


Those numbers are going down, but the positive cases aren't.

Here's how the numbers from May 1 compared to the final two weeks in April look:

Harris County saw a 22 percent increase. In Fort Bend County, the numbers went up by eleven percent. They also rose in Chambers, and Liberty County. The numbers decreased though in Galveston, and Montgomery County.

That said, there's more testing. The state performed about 110,000 more tests since May 1 than the two weeks prior.

left is % positive tests and then which day of a 7-day rolling avg starting in mid-late march … ranges from 3.5% to 14% with recent numbers about 1/3 of April.

anything that originates from CNN can be debunked with stats and facts. they are the Reality TV of news

Two weeks after Texas began to roll back coronavirus restrictions, the Lone Star State counted its largest single-day totals in new cases and deaths as local and state governments grapple for power over reopening.

The state health agency reported 58 deaths from coronavirus and 1,448 new confirmed cases on Thursday, both records as the state continues to ease restrictions.

It's a no-brainer that this would happen & will happen everywhere.

Not rocket science & just don't understand why ppl can't comprehend it.

Because they are trump loyalists.


Some will say they don’t like Trump...but they’re on here defending every single thing he says and not denouncing anything.

I talked about this couple weeks ago when discussing my daughter.

The ONLY reason the numbers are down in the hospital is because unlike in the beginning, they are sending ppl home immediately and/or turning them away, unless they absolutely require higher tier breathing assistance.

It's NOT because there are fewer ppl sick.

Medical field doing anything they can to limit their exposure to the sick.

Wise move, or cowardly?

I'll take the latter.

Well I am too but I don't link the two together mob.

Ppl making their own assumptions.


Well, some people have had enough with Trump over this and I don’t blame them.


I couldn’t imagine having a loved one sick from corona and dragging myself to vote trump again.


Especially when he says doctors and nurses dying for his re-election cause, is a “beautiful thing.”


Yet to hear really any empathy for the citizens going through it. Says testing isn’t the answer but they test non stop in the White House. I don’t know how anybody can rock with this administration. But there are a lot of whackos out there. And his competitors suck.

I’d rather have sleepy Joe in there though no question.


Whole nation takes a mandatory nap at 1 PM every week day. :):)


Still fuck with it better than a president who doesn’t give a flying fuck about anything besides his re-election...even during a global pandemic

yet you still can't comprehend how positive cases are up when 110,000 more people have been tested in the past 2 weeks than in the previous two weeks.

really remarkable you are still pointing to relaxed restrictions. If you were correct then there wouldn't be 130 less hospitalizations in May than in the second half of April

quite introspective to use the phrase no-brainer

And you're making arguments against your own case.

Yes more ppl being tested = More people positive = it's worse than many will admit
