  2. It was pronounced as of today all 50 states are somehow opened.
    Well, well, the key word was SOMEHOW.
    For example my homeland NJ still have stay home agenda till 6/5. And majorly is nothing opened. Besides I was asking all my friends and neighbors how are they filling.
    95% very angry and disappointed, want to ask my governor why he does not care about his people fillings.
    In states which closed more get infected. Strange, right, do you know why.
    Because we have so little places we can go, and guess what, crazy crowd comes to these places, they have nothing to do else...
    People sick and tired to obey stupid governor’s rules. I won’t be surprised if it gets to revolt.
    Murfy open your mind, you are not Chinese dictator, but NJ we never have a dictator and we wouldn’t....

  4. Here we are. As I mentioned a month ago US unemployment came to 25% 39m people unemployed. This number does not included self employed people. That is the same percentage how it was in 1932 on Great Depression.
    So people who complain about we are fast to open think about ours economy bad standing.
    Last week unemployment came 2.438 m as was expected.
    Nevertheless some blue states and their governors are sabotaging to real opening.
    I do not get how naive to stay closed and do not see complications to state economy impacts, people getting nothing to support their families.

  5. So far all states are partly opened in May, however some blue states opened as little as not even people may notice. The trick is the states local government can not hold the pressure from angry crowd. They are pretending like they are opening, it seams like they are sabotaging.
    However people more angry from day to day. When it comes over Memorial Day weekend and crowd wouldn’t go anywhere because of closure and no income, NYC like zombie city.
    All these governors are they playing politics on people’s depressive feelings.
    These governors are destroying state’s economies, covid19 cases rise see my explanation why.
    People are angry and hungry, with no income. These governors already history and wouldn’t be elected next time.

  6. Problem is the "experts" we have been listening to have a myopic view which is only focused on the virus, not overall health and well-being of our nation. I think we have reached the tipping point, though, where people aren't going to listen to them anymore. The pace of re-opening is increasing each day. With warmer weather, the pressure to do so will grow greater. Sure, this virus can be deadly but so can cars, alcohol, cigarettes and guns. Many people drown swimming or die in boating accidents every year. Should we just ban those?

  7. Data is being manipulated by the Trump administration ( evident in TX, FL, GA). That will likely buy them media headlines of a story of 'reopening" successfully, a new DJI high and possibly the November election.


    Dead people are likely to remain dead though. Or maybe bleach will bring them back.

  8. Data distributed by independent John Hopkins University and you can see some spike 1500 and nobody hide it. Please don’t make waves in the pot :).

    I just realized that the question in this thread has a natural bias. I mean, considering your nick and all, hehe.
