That didn't last long. Matt at Johnson's will have a fit and Ft. Lauderdale is dead again. How long until Georgia follows? In the meantime bars, which cause much of the uptick, are re-opening in several states and California is staying local-option. Sloooow learners.

One of the last places I would want to have the virus. But if you're immune....

UK

Update: I checked several sites and the one important stat we are not hearing is that, although each has had dynamic regional ups and downs, Europe and the US have had remarkably similar overall stats. Europe has had 175K deaths, the US 125K. The US has had 2.5 M cases, Europe 2 M. Although the US had a mild lockdown Europe and the US had about the same 20K a day new cases until the drastic US uptick this week. But with Europe all open now they are expecting a big uptick (the beaches there, as always, are packed like sardines). The population of Europe is a little bigger and their population much older. I have a feeling the European uptick will get as big as the US uptick. (also there will be no EU rule, it's country-by-country, and they are more worried about Denmark, Norway, and a couple others excluding Sweden and Belgium and creating EU trouble). ). https://www.statista.com/statistics/1102209/coronavirus-cases-development-europe/

Has coronavirus and social distancing gotten so bad that we now fantasize about kissing?

Is 2GB Ram enough for HD streaming? I miss my Netflix traveling. I buy from Newegg but can't give great reviews. Still, this is half what most are. Thx.

A dozen stories today that Europe on July 1 may well keep the US off the list of nationalities that can visit because the US is so bad off in new cases. Ironic since the first NY cases came from Europe.

With all due respect I'll stack my education and political experience up against yours anytime. Discussing with you is like talking to a teenage fangirl of a great k pop band called the Democrats. Read some Noam Chomsky and stop not caring about the extermination of millions of black and brown people by your heros as if it's just a minor point.

He says to Canadians “You will have the best land ever. It is beautiful, in the summer it is warm and in the winter it snows beautiful snow flakes. It is called Canada. You will have prosperity and food for all your days.” He then gets the Australians, and says to them “I give to you Australia. You are isolated, and the land is a desert. You will work every day and will get very little in return. It will be harsh, but you will be hardened by it. You will find it hard, but you will call it home.” The Australians reply “This is so unfair, why do the Canadians get good land and prosperity and we only get the harsh land, the scraps!?” He replies “They do. But I didn’t tell the Canadians about their neighbours.”

Then you're not paying attention. Plenty of national leaders from the Philippines to Russia to Israel to Brazil and half of Europe are now not shy about describing themselves as fascist, Ayelot Shaked even ran a commercial describing herself as a proud fascist. Peter Thiel here says maybe it's time for us to forget the romance of "democracy" when the leeches are threatening the elite of society who make all the advancements and deserve to have most of the wealth. And if you have any illusions about Biden, remember he was the one who screamed that he would not have his grandchildren growing up in an America that was a RACIAL JUNGLE and promptly got his Crime Bill of 1994 passed imprisoning an additional 1 million black men long-term, many for life. More racism than fascism, but getting there quick. Great match for Kamala who wanted to get black kids off the streets by jailing their parents if they weren't in school and tried to execute a black man she knew was innocent to advance her career (she did get plenty of credit for refusing to stop executions of plenty of other black men). Police states are getting to be the popular norm quickly. Like "liberal vs conservative", "Democrat vs. Republican" are getting to be meaningless terms.

The surveillance state we have and are going deeper into, the police state where a military-like force controls the population, the ability to exterminate millions of any undesirable race anywhere on earth with buttons, and the complete devolvement of government onto two private corporations which are both controlled by the fewer and fewer who own most of the country's wealth and media are more fascist than any dictators of the 30's or Orwell could have ever imagined. Fascism is the norm now, not democracy.

Robert Caro is neither a black LBJ called a ni**er or a Vietnamese who LBJ exterminated 3 million of.

Would you like to quote for us all the thousands of times as president that Johnson called blacks ni^^ers and repeatedly said the civil rights acts were just a ni^^er bill to get blacks to vote Democratic for 200 years. It's close whether LBJ hated ni^^ers or g^^ks more, but he managed to exterminate 3 million of the latter race. Blacks and Asians are human just like other humans and deserve to be treated as humans with respect.

The first 5 are the people who have been most responsible for killing the most dark-skinned people in the world the past decade. But it was just millions of dark skin foreigners, so to Americans there's more important issues. And yes, by any definition, the Neo-Liberals in the Democratic party and the Neo-Cons in the Republican party are fascists. The sad state of America ruled now by two corporatist fascist parties.

Obama had no problem burning alive 100,000 in Yemen or starving and killing by withholding medicine another 85,000. Trump is also a pig because he continues to support that policy but at least he stopped the bombing in Syria. At least Hitler gassed people before he burned them. Biden supported that and was even more enthusiastic about burning 1 million in Iraq than Bush or Clinton was. It's total hypocrisy to say "Black Lives Matter" in the US but exterminating them by the millions in the middle east is an OK thing. You are aware that the common term for middle easterners in the US military and Israeli military is "Sand Ni**ers". Exterminating them by the millions is not a "good" thing like wiping out locusts. Sorry if that shocks you but they are humans with lives and the same rights as the rest of us humans. Support the fascist murderer of your choice. You have no problem as long as it's your favored person doing it. It's just a game for fools with a charade of democracy anyway. Bolton is a fascist pig. Trump is a fascist pig. Obama is a fascist pig. Clinton is a fascist pig. Biden is a fascist pig. Harris is a fascist pig. Too bad Bolton's not a black woman so the Dems could chose Bolton as VP. He really loves killing dark people by the millions.

Last night the news was all Bolton will vote for Biden and today it's qualified by his spokewoman that he will vote for neither Biden or Trump. I understand his problem as a genocidal fascist his difficulty in choosing between the two.

Sunday Bolton endorses Biden, Monday Biden gets an appetite for a million dead Latinx. Choose the better fascist in November. https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1274910217508196352?s=20

Edited to "regional".

Basically the south needs a regional symbol to rally around other than the confederate flag with it's blatant racial connections. Unfortunately there isn't one. Even the English punk rock Rockabilly bands of the 80's used it. The confederate flag is only historically a flag of a war to preserve slavery.

Lucky, if you know the exact number of people in Tulsa wearing masks right now you are more than a godlike member.

No. I know you were only speaking of yourself. I also saved up a lot with fewer expenses (and we on this board know what those expenses were ! lol). But... On the opposite end of the food chain from the billionaires, people are being kicked out of nursing homes to homeless shelters to take in coronavirus patients who bring an extra $600 a day income. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/21/business/nursing-homes-evictions-discharges-coronavirus.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage The rapid income redistribution to the billionaire class has accelerated during the pandemic. And unfortunately, the circumstances of the poorest has gotten even more miserable.

American billionaires got $434 billion richer during the pandemic ""According to the report, the net worth of America’s billionaires grew 15% during the two-month period, to $3.382 trillion from $2.948 trillion. The biggest gains were at the top of the billionaire pyramid, with the richest five billionaires -- Bezos, Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, and Larry Ellison -- seeing combined wealth gains of $76 billion. Elon Musk had among the largest percentage gain of billionaires during the two months, seeing his net worth jump by 48% in the two months to $36 billion. Zuckerberg was close behind, seeing his wealth surge by 46% in the two months, to $80 billion. Bezos’ wealth increased by 31% to $147 billion. Bezos’ ex-wife, MacKenzie Bezos, who received Amazon shares in their divorce, also saw her wealth increase by a third, to $48 billion."" https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/21/american-billionaires-got-434-billion-richer-during-the-pandemic.html I doubt many working class people got richer during the pandemic, especially with 20% unemployment. If anything many had to deplete what savings they had.
