How our federal government and several states (mostly in the South) have handled this crisis is absolutely abysmal and now we are reaping what they have sown. Death rates are rising again after a steady decline just as anticipated after the spike in COVID cases from states opening too early. Can't wait to see what flawed logic the righties on this board come up with to defend our country's horrible response and lack of leadership. America makes the same mistakes over and over again, we always prioritize short term quarterly profits over long term growth. How many people and small businesses need to die before we understand that? "bUt LoOk At tHE sTOcK MarKEt?" Give me a break...our country doesn't deserve college football this year, most of this board doesn't deserve college football this year.

And all those protest super spreaders.

Funny, how is it that New York, one of the epicenters of the BLM protests, has gotten COVID under control whereas Texas, which opened too fast, is seeing major spikes?



Maybe a couple of thousand protesters don't have as much of an impact as millions of people operating as if COVID isn't a thing? But okay, keep clamoring herp derp TDS...maybe a canceled football season will finally get it through your thick skulls, which is sad because you'd think record unemployment and 120,000+ death count would be enough.

The record unemployment is because of the shutdowns...cause, meet effect.

You know...that goose and gander thing.

Oh...and just for perspective
