This thing is going to blow up badly.

I’m more afraid now than I was at the beginning of this.

257K seats, 400K capacity including infield. Then the next benchmark after that is Wyoming (578K).

nine deaths. A large number of the 500 are linked to a Call Center.
It's pretty strict here - we have a 6.00pm to 6.00am island wide curfew. You have to wear a mask in most places including public transportation, supermarkets and most stores.

Temperatures are taken nearly everywhere including where we walk in the morning. We are all asking the government to lift the damn curfew at 5.00am because the sun rises early from late March to November and most people do not like walking when it's hot.

They are only allowed out during certain days of week for set hours.

If I can point to a single crime of MF45, it was his blowing off the mask need back when. Like not macho.

One would wonder - is he deliberately making our world worse? If yes, why.

Great guest on CNN tonight talking about how small pox was eradicated. Conscious effort between US and USSR. Fears no effort/greater world good now.

I bet we have no clue how bad this is, no matter how bad we even think it is.

And I think it’s very, very bad. Rachel said the same on her show tonight.

But he can’t evade this crisis.

I think it’s going to get much worse. I’m feel that I’m safe, but I’m very frightened for our country, for my neighbors, the people in my county who I know work at Tyson plants - I see those people in the grocery stores, I see them with their children when they were still walking to school...

This is going to be a disaster.

Biden picks a super strong, razor sharp "manager" type as VP. So much about who gets elected depends upon whatever the current feeling is at that time. People will be looking for honesty, compassion and management capabilities. Imho
