What's sad is every kind of Christian thinks Trump is on their side.  He doesn't give a crap about them, he just wants their vote as he pretends to be Christian.  He doesn't care if they gather and the end result is they die, exact same reason he wanted Easter back on.

Trump already has the evangelical vote sown up. He wanted everything back open by easter because some people like to have easter lunch in fancy restaurants in fancy hotels. A simple grift for a simple man.

Would be increds. I have so many goddamn airline miles and they are burning the hottest hole in my pocket that you would ever believe.

Which is not to say I'd be there on June 4th. But I'm just stoked to take a trip, period. (Aug 29th for Seattle as of now, fwiw)

FlyICT’s only received one response so far.

Air conditioning and air filtration seems to be good at limiting spread right? That would give us an edge over the 1918 suckers.

Was the air conditioning sufficient in 2009?

I also think the second curve will happen before flu season because the behavior of the public has changed. That incident that happened at Great Clips in Springfield or Joplin or wherever will be repeated all over the country. When the breakouts started to happen people were okay with laying out. There are more active cases now than we had in mid March yet a large sector of the population wants to behave like they did in February, it's foolhardy to think this won't have consequences.

Has it been reported how many the Great Clips person actually infected?

People, there were two people working at the Great Clips with the rona, one of them also worked out at a gym in the same time period. There's no possible way they can have an accurate count, yet, as to how many of the approximately 150 people exposed just at the Great Clips are positive already, it hasn't even been a week yet.

What are the odds that one of those people exposed at Great Clips were at the Lake of the Ozarks or were exposed to someone else at the the lake/pool. Gotta be pretty high, right?

Get back to me when numbers end of week.

Sounds like everybody was wearing masks so will be interesting to see how many exposed become infected.  Hopefully a victory for #teammask

42 of the 140 people "exposed" have been tested and results back so far, 0 new infections.  Go Team Mask!!!!!!!

This is great news, I hope form follows and becomes huge national news and convinces people to wear rough ridin' masks.

the virus has a solid two months, which is more than most can say, but americans are finally bored with it.  welp, back to race stuff.

Once it got successfully labeled as an "urban" or "immigrant" problem this was inevitable.

It'll become news again when it impacts the right people.

It got labeled as an "urban" problem more than a month ago, and it's still been absolutely dominating the news cycle until police injustice dominated the news cycle for the last 48-72ish hours. 

Agree that the media has done a pretty shitty job on coronavirus though, generally speaking.

Only tested 42? Great everyone's negative. Would be interesting to see how they're spread out.

The reopening protests coincidentally started around that time which gave it a lot of attention but people have been pretty bored with it since then unless the president tells people to drink bleach

To be fair, with the increasingly encouraging news about the virus, it's become increasingly boring.  If NY returns to mid-April levels next week, I'd bet attention to it would ramp up again.

Yeah around April 7th.

I guess you can blame the media if you want to, but it simply holds a mirror to society.

[catastrophe]

Yeah I think the general public has definitely been in a wait and see pattern for the past couple weeks. I predict interest will pick back up mid June when we’re about a month into America’s soft reopening.

Number of cases will either rise too slowly for people to notice or people will just chalk it up to more testing. Or maybe both!*

I guess when you said “it’ll become news again when...” you were talking about “the news.”  But if you were just talking about your twitter feed or this politics message board then I retract my slander about the news media.

This also assumes things will suddenly start getting worse rather than continue getting better.

Yes I mean "the news", or the MSM in your terms.

Well not quite the MSM as you probably think, since I would include all major sources of media like Fox News, Breitbart, OAN, etc as MSM as well (which I assume you wouldn't).

I don’t really have a good definition of “MSM” but yeah I think I’d consider all of those varying degrees of “mainstream.”

For sure, that's not gonna happen as things reopen and there's no vaccine and lackluster contact tracing and no central quarantine. And even then it probably won't completely go away!

Completely going away is not really the goal at this point and probably never will be.
