I’m shitting on the reopening now because the reopening is visibly happening in a lava pit. And, as with the example above, the headlines are warning them about the lava pit even as they grab their coolers and jump in.

Their cases are climbing even before the impact of the reopen. Onward they go. I don’t need to wait any amount of time in order to “credibly” shit on that.

People are dying now. People will die when we open up. People died without anyone really noticing in the lead up to all this. I'm no genius, but it seems like people are going to keep dying and dying and dying and there isn't shit we can do about it. It's to the point where the shelter in place people seem almost as clueless as the let me get a haircut people are. Neither have any fucking clue how to fix this (spoiler, we cant).

The federal $600/week goes until July 31. That's on top of the state benefit. I assume each state has a max number of weeks per year you can collect. My state is 26 weeks. They've extended it to more than that before (39 weeks), I'd say there's a chance that happens again. The wrench in this is if states call it a "voluntary quit" for not going back to the job you lost.

Why fuck around with this unemployment bullshit when we can just do UBI? Perfect time to test it out since nobody has a job right now anyway. Instead were throwing 4 trillion dollars at Wall Street and PPPing luxury hotel chains.

You don't think locking things down has prevented a lot of deaths?

Despite our governor doing almost everything right and keeping us locked down, there’s a lot of people out and about this weekend.

Probably. But we're too stupid to do it all the way and there is no chance we'll be able to even remain in the half ass position we are in now for much longer because our country is a fucking joke.

We're still in the process of making it great again

America is the weirdest thing that has ever happened to the universe.

Man I thought the pandemic was going to be the bad thing to happen to us this year. But seeing that makes me think we're in for much worse things

They should get it.

Worldwide deaths currently total 244,000 (and counting). Maybe you should update that thing to show the last month.

Ya see that, world? COVID-19 is nothing to worry about. Just open everything up. If it kills your mom or your neighbor, that’s ok because more people commit suicide anyway.

Just stop, J. Just stop.

what would the number be if nothing had shut down?

The WHO estimated that 777,000 people died of AIDS/HIV-related illnesses in all of 2018. According to those numbers above, that death count will be more than 1.6 million this year. Super cool vetting of information, dude.

15. And it would all be gone by now. Everything was shut down for no reason.

Agree with Rob and Wease here.
