Our death rate here in the US has double in a week, ONE WEEK. We went from 20K to 41,575K. Let that sink in.
Now here we have some states/ Governors, with full knowledge of these facts are opening some essential businesses in their area. Said businesses, bowling allies, hair salons, (with your stylist less than a foot from your face) nail parlors and gyms, moist hot sweaty gyms where people are huffing and puffing on their treadmills spewing droplets.
This is not going to end well, with a corrupt Government pirating needed supplies and sending them god knows where, all we know is they are NOT going to the first responders.
Fact is with these morons in charge, the virus will come hurtling back full force to our tired first responders, many who have lost their own lives, who will have to start all over again.
I weep for this country and hate the evil that is running it.
So many more will die.
It did not have to be this way.

(16,780 posts)That is a process where a bonding is put on the natural nail, then dipped in a powder as a base coat. The 2 coats of bonding with the colored powder, then a coat of what would be a top coat. Smoothe out, then a finishing coat to bring shine. My Nails grow like weeds now. They look like I wear press on she they are my own. They cannot be clipped.

the market is going to go WAY lower, for one thing, and many HUNDREDS of thousands will die, maybe millions before it is over.
Each state MUST do total shelter like CA and NY or we are GUARANTEED mass death.

We dont need more clusters here. We have enough of the problem already.

(9,958 posts)Im watching Chris Hayes on MSNBC, and he is interviewing governors about getting the PPE and test supplies they need. He mentioned the Massachusetts and Illinois governors having to go to extreme lengths to keep their shipments secret so Trump would not confiscate them. And then he just dropped it and started asking governors if they had what they needed, especially to reopen the economy. What gives? Why cant someone find out what FEMA and Homeland Security are doing with these confiscated shipments? We can suppose that Trump is taking them to ensure that red states have amole supplies, but if thats the case it needs to be in the media because it is a disgusting tactic, and Trump needs to be called out about it.

We should be committed to one and done.
