So everything is re-opening, so we don't need more Stimulus $$...? easy fix?

I guess we are just gonna just let this virus keep doing what it does, the numbers be damned.

But at least we are getting the ECONOMY back right? no need to worry about helping those who may be permanently out of work or unable to return to work?

he hasn't even done shit to begin with. Now all he cares about is the demonstrations, so there's literally nobody doing shit.

but the states are re-opening too despite numbers NOT going anywhere near DOWN.
Here in CA we are continuing to reopen and cases climb... I'm terrified. I am also out of work and do NOT want to be doing anything in public as I have an autoimmune disease. I am desperately trying to find home-work.

I have a little business doing PR and webdesign, maybe it's time to re-apply myself to that endeavor...

Opened. His original plan that called for three steps and periods of time in between to see if spikes occur. That went out the window. The cops in my city actually publicized that they would not enforce the law. We’re spiking in most counties here now.

I'm in Tahoe and it's been scary AF with all the people up here all OVER since Memorial day
We don't have any new hospital capacity either...68 beds only 5 in ICU
We're still going up in cases every day.

I'm still wearing my mask everywhere, fuck people.
Damn tourists don't care... they get out of the Bay and throw their masks out the window!
