New York got hit hard at first. Stands to reason that they are about done with it. Minnesota is showing an upward trend since the middle of June and has started falling again in the last couple of days. I'm not saying it's the sole reason for the spike, but it is a major player. Thousands and thousands of people crowded together has to be a large contributing factor. Or do you think the virus has a conscience and decided not to be present for the protests? Opening up is a factor as well and a rise in cases from that was predicted. I'm thinking there is going to be a general decline again fairly soon.

I'm aware of the numbers and which states started opening their businesses back up first. The spike after protests is non existent when compared to your state exponential rise after reopening. Saying they were a "Major" factor is just a dumb fox news talking point.

Honestly, I think the flu season won’t be as bad this year. With everyone (mostly) practicing social distancing, wearing masks, working from home, and washing their hand more, I can’t see the flu really being that bad...

Everybody's getting cabin fever in the States, though, and it's not even Fall yet. We've all seen the beach parties in FL, imagine how much worse it will be in another few months.

Blaming Russia/China is why America is such a dysfunctional shithole. Y'all got no accountability down there.

Just checking the local numbers and Worldometer shows the county where I live to have 513 new cases yesterday. That is wildly inaccurate. We had 35 new cases. Makes me wonder how many of the other numbers are way off.

"hitting 150k deaths" is one way of saying "torpedoing orange gimp's re-election chances"

Prediction: The vaccine is produced, released, and then half the people won’t take it.

I’m hearing this more and more. I think we’re going to have a real hard time getting people to take it...

2/3rds of the people is the critical mass. As long as 66% get vaccinated we should be done with it.
