Wow, just wow.

It will be interesting to see what the infection rate in Missouri will be in about two weeks. Goddamned fools. I wouldn't be surprised if, before this thing is over, there are more deaths than if the federal government did nothing.

1. I bet Vegas is going to be like this really soon.

They have lots of pool parties, as well as the casino action and restaurants.

[spanone]

2. An intelligent species, after 100,000 deaths, would ease their way back into 'normal' life.

Wish that included humans.

[iluvtennis]

16. Well said. nt

[Andy823]

3. Yes, but we have trump

pushing his "cut" members to "protest" for reopening the country. He also has claimed since day on that the whole pandemic would be "gone" come summer, and that it was all a hoax.

When you have a narcissistic ass in charge of things, you can only expect to see disaster after disaster, and trump has proven this.

[AlexSFCA]

4. I would be more concerned about indoor gatherings

Extremely high UV Index gatherings outdoors is nowhere near as bad as indoor gatherings.

7. It's still dangerous, if if less dangerous

10. CNN: A cluster of coronavirus cases was reported in Arkansas after a swim party

Several people who attended a high school swim party in Arkansas have contracted Covid-19, Gov. Asa Hutchinson told reporters on Saturday.

"A high school swim party that I'm sure everybody thought was harmless. They're young, they're swimming, they're just having activity and positive cases resulted from that," Hutchinson said.

The governor declined to provide further details on the swim party but noted the incident was "just an encouragement for us to be disciplined in our activities."

21. This is probably going to spread like crazy in the churches that open. nt.

5. Two weeks.

There may be a huge wave of new infections thanks to these 'it's over' idiots

[DENVERPOPS]

11. Maybe

All the nation's worn out, frazzled, PTSD'ed health care workers should go on vacation and use up all their sick days starting in about 2-3 weeks?

Let the hospitals and care facilities hand out Official 2020 Darwin Awards to these individuals showing up at their hospitals and care facilities with no staff to take care of them.......

[C_U_L8R]

14. Good idea.

[RAB910]

6. It will take about a week for the cases to start spiking

about 2 to 3 weeks to see the increased deaths

[tavernier]

8. I can hear the banjo music now.

9. Main Street was crowded where I live

In a popular (repuglican) vacation town in North Carolina.

I drove by and was really surprised to see the sidewalks full on Saturday.

And starting next week, for most of the summer, the town council has voted to shut main Street to cars so restaurants can extend their outside seating to the street. The town basically doubles in size from April thru October as summer residents and visitors invade. They help to keep our local businesses thriving.

I work 2 days a week in a shop on main Street. We reopened 2 weeks ago with a sign on the door saying"thank you for wearing your mask"

Some have them on already, but Many are not wearing them, some put one on before entering, some turn away because they don't or won't wear one, some stick their head in and ask if they can come in without a mask.

I added a sign "we have bandana's" and have been selling them steadily. We have shipments of masks due in soon. I don't work on Saturday, which is their busiest day. I want to avoid crowded places as much as possible.

Not only Missouri, but many places will see surges from this behavior.

12. Are still searching the heavens for intelligent life?

We need to concentrate here first.

[Javaman]

13. What are we Doing?

We are being the self-righteous morons we have always been. Don’t you know that Americans have immunity to all things “foreign” including viruses by just believing that we are.

The right wing racist like to talk about the “great culling of the herd” and here we are the morons, the religious bigots and the right wing nazis are taking the “bullet” of culling so the rest of us can live! They aren’t morons they are heroes!

Do I really need to use the sarcasm emoticon?

[BComplex]

30. That's right on, Javaman, and it makes it clear how we are also killing our planet.

We're watching all of these people fiddling while Rome burns....or something like that. There's no tomorrow with some people. They just don't get it.

What is it, besides hedonism?

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Our health care system will not be able to deal with the new influx of patients in some areas.

We are already in deep death and I fear it will spike dramatically. So senseless and largely attributable to a total lack of leadership from Dolt 45.

[calimary]

17. "What are we doing?" In that photo? Crowding up to get sick.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Live with your proud ignorance, people. You may very well die from it.

[jaxexpat]

18. 2 or 3 weeks after this Memorial Day..........

when the spikes get too big to ignore, things will change. Some shutting down will recommence. A week later, the spike in deaths will be undeniable. Already, today saw the highest US 24 hr increase in new cases (over 39,000) since the day I started recording the data off the Bing COVID tracker, March 21st.


This Memorial weekend may be celebrated in the future as the beginning of the end of republican governance. Change may not come easily.

[onetexan]

19. I'd like to think good for them. This way if they all get sick

It would rid the world of their stupidity. My only concern is all the other people they will spread the virus to before they exit.

[paleotn]

20. What are they doing?

Lining up to be a virus buffet. Feeling of invincibility I guess. But rest assured, Karma cannot be fooled. She always comes back to bite the arrogant, spoiled, whiny and stupid.

[safeinOhio]

22. In 1918 in San Fransisco they had a big

party in the streets for the end of WWII and the end of wearing mask for the flu. The flu came right back for 1919, way worse.

[debsy]

23. This calls for a Forrest Gump quote

"Stupid is as stupid does." Not much more to say.

[Cyrano]

24. The Lake of the Ozarks is the buckle on the bible belt

It's out in the middle of Missouri and I spent a bit of time there a while back. It's as close to Jesusville as you can get. Most of the billboards I saw were peddling Jesus with every kind of message you can imagine.

I haven't been there in years, but as a guess, Lake of the Ozarks is Trump country where the orange creature and Jesus are virtual equals.

[BusyBeingBest]

25. Hillbilly stew.

Gross.

[Duppers]

32. Yup & all white meat stew.

[Blue_true]

33. I saw what looked like two African Americans on the left of the picture.

They could have been Asian Indian, was hard to definitively conclude.

[riversedge]

26. Selfish people who will spread the virus to home, friends. works.

[dmr]

28. Yes that's what galls me.

They will infect the unsuspecting innocents in their families, and elsewhere.

What will they say to that? "Oops, my bad."

I'd like to clobber them.

[Progressive Law]

27. I find those types of gatherings so bizarre...even w/o a pandemic.

It just looks so strange to me.

[dmr]

29. It doesn't look like fun to me.

Maybe cuz I'm an old lady.

[roamer65]

31. Captain Trumps is coming.

Bring out your dead.

[AwakeAtLast]

34. My family has a 60+ year history at Lake Ozark

And Bagnell Dam area. We have had a family reunion there for 63 years. It was a difficult decision, but we decided to cancel. Now I am so glad we did! Morons!
