161,000 new COVID cases in the US today.

Tomorrow is going to be awful.

1. He and the entire GOP are

trying as hard as they can to kill as many of us as they can while they can.

2. Another new daily record.

I learned tonight that three of my family members caught it this week too. Prior to this week, only a niece's husband got infected months ago.

3. This is getting so bad it's starting to freak me out a bit. What will things be like in a month or

two???

[MissB]

4. Worse

Buckle down.

[Ms. Toad]

5. Nope.

In order to continue to fight the election battle, the Trump acolytes have to keep up the illusion that COVID is just a liberal lie. So nothing good will happen until late January.

7. It's going to get very bad. At least DeWine finally...

... announced that he'll put the responsibility of customers not wearing masks on the businesses. Too many businesses were telling employees to not make a stink about customers refusing to wear them, but the threat of being shut-down will surely change that attitude.

Late, like most actions by Republicans.

[Ms. Toad]

8. I hope so.

Even with piggyback ordinances (requiring them to enforce the order), I couldn't get Akron and Summit businesses to enforce it.

But being shut down is much more of a threat than a fine of a few hundred dollars.

Now I want the contact info to sent reports to. I've been sending them to the department of health, but enforcement is now up to the Bureau of Workers' Comp.

6. Crazy. Like in the beginning, we don't know how many folk are walking around contagious,

so hopefully people will shake off the complacency and go back to protecting themselves and those around them.

10. Because he reporting is crap

We still don’t know who is getting sick, where they’re getting sick, who they’re getting sick, how long and to what extent they’re sick...

It’s almost as if we’re being treated like mushrooms.

[Klaralven]

11. Actually we do - bars, restaurants, gyms, religious gatherings, family gatherings

It comes out of peoples' mouths when they talk or otherwise vocalize and it floats through the air and other people get it in their eyes, nose, and mouths.

Which is why a general lockdown of business is so stupid. A crew of a few guys replacing a water main in a street is unlikely to infect each other if they are practicing good hygiene at all, so long as they don't go to a bar after work.

9. PA reported 5488 positives just today

and I saw a breaking news earlier where CA has now joined TX in breaching the "1,000,000" cumulative cases club.
