1. Not surprised.

About three weeks ago there were massive Beach crowds and in Utah the State Parks open to locals only. Surprise,massive caravans of Campers from Vegas spent the weekend in Utah. Used to be make that same run every Mothers Day Weekend.

Not surprised one bit.

13. Good point. Lots of those traditions around the U.S.A.

Where I was raised in middle TN, the big deal was a vacation trip to the Smokies with shoulder-to-shoulder crowds in Gatlinburg. Only the rich folks go to got to the beach. I suspect the MAGATS in TN are already overcrowding the Smokies, especially Sevierville and Gatlinburg.

Still have remote friends and family there and worry about them staying safe.

2. More testing will show more cases, that's to be expected for awhile.

But the deaths are what trouble me. One thousand in 24 hours is a very bad number.

4. Wow. Had the most in the country and the state is locked down

Governor has done a good job keeping the virus under control. Hopefully today’s just a unusual day.

5. I see what you are positing here.

Your first 2 sentences and last 2 sentences are total opposites. I see.

[jimfields33]

9. All factual. Perhaps you could look it up.

6. Did you forget the MAGat protests?

I guess maybe you did.

[jimfields33]

10. I didn't mention any reason. Perhaps you should.

7. She locked down the state and has good judgement.

The protestors, OPEN IT UP, arrived en mass. They are the cause of the spread.

[Kingofalldems]

8. Exactly. I guess the poster forgot.

[sheshe2]

11. Apparently, King.

12. I live in Pima County, AZ,

southeast of Maricopa County (Phoenix), where cases have spiked (as in, twice as many).

Hey, I was a voluntary shut-in long before Covid, so no reason to alter my lifestyle. I'm 73 with Type A blood, which I recently read is susceptible to severe Covid infection.

I count myself very fortunate that I've been so lightly impacted (if at all) by this disaster, & greatly sympathize with those whose health and/or finances have suffered.
