Hey!
We had another slight drop in Active Cases.
Is this the beginning of what we have been waiting for?

I have this little pet theory.
The recent surge was a combination of opening up too soon and July 4th parties.
It seems to be settling down now that we are several weeks past those events.
Ominous storm cloud on the horizon: Opening up schools too soon.
I am concerned that the push to open schools for in-person classes will result in another surge.
We shall see.

This is bad news only if you think lockdowns, masks and school closures are the only way out of this.
If you believe in T-cell immunity, cross-reactive immunity and straight-up COVID antibody immunity [sciencey stuff] then it is good news.

All factors. There was also the RW protest in Lansing, MI. I'm guessing not all of those there were locals so they took the virus back home. Backyard BBQs by people who believed Trump when he said the virus was no worse than the flu and would go away due to the heat of Spring, yada, yada, yada.

No. With schools being forced to open up, $50 says there will be a rise again in places where schools have become COVID factories.

Are LW protesters immune to the China Virus lol?

Politics has nothing to do with immunity to any disease. If you were really a "healthcare worker" then you'd understand that fact.
The question is...........why are democrats supporting the weaponization of a simple virus? The reality is the fact that this virus is killing vastly more DEMOCRATS living in large liberal urban areas than those who voted for Donald Trump in the rural states across America. Talk about cutting off your nose to feed your face.....the average democrat voter is being used to garner power for a few select elite globalists.

Hello Darth,
Hey, there ya go. Ya wanna blame the left? Run with that cherry picked tidbit.
That's gotta be the way to think of it under the holding-strong-stereotypes approach.
Reality is that there are good and responsible people on both sides, and foolish irresponsible people on both sides.
I do see more irresponsibility on the right, with outright denials that this crisis is a problem. Often we hear conservatives saying the threat is overblown, or no threat at all. We don't hear that from the left.
Bottom line is the virus doesn't care about our politics. It is going to go wherever it can. People taking avoidance measures will be safer than those blowing it all off.
The more people we have taking it seriously, the better off we will be.
The more people who blow it off, the worse we will be.
Obviously, looking at the numbers in the USA, we have too many people blowing it off.
Wash your hands.
Wear a mask.
Watch your distance.

Hello Dutch Uncle,
And we cannot rule out the super-spreader Trump rallies.
That did it for Herman Cain.

Both sides are obviously "weaponizing", Newspeak for "politicizing", COVID-19.
When the final body count is totaled up, then you and I can separate the dead by political affiliation. Trying to do so in the middle of a pandemic is silly.

Trump rallies, BLM protests, Spring Break, college frat parties, etc. Any clustered gathering of people, even outside, can spread the disease.
It's not just masks. As the CDC recommends; masks, washing hands, social distancing and be smart about crowds.
Anyone, regardless of politics, who doesn't follow those common sense guidelines risks spreading the virus.

• Coronaviruses on surfaces and objects naturally die within hours to days. Warmer temperatures and exposure to sunlight will
reduce the time the virus survives on surfaces and objects.
This means public doorknobs, railings, pamphlets, etc.

Was a healthcare worker—I like the sound of that lol.
As a former healthcare worker, I’m curious as to why all the focus on COVID infections seems so *political*. Something to do with election year politics, maybe?
There is a significant source of infections coming across our southern border. Or put it this way—it would be a near miracle if it’s not. Perhaps not so curiously, the media and partisan hacks seem ‘not so curious’ about it.
Since our friend Poli is JPP’s resident COVID bean counter maybe he could do some research on the topic. CA is doing ‘all the right things’ yet they are struggling with their numbers. AZ is a border state and they had a recent spike.
NYC is far removed from the border and likely benefiting from herd immunity and things are relatively quiet there. Seems to all add up.
So, why don’t you and Poli get your pointy little heads together and do some actual journalism on the topic since our professional ‘journalists’ don’t seem up to the task.
Give me something to read later. Something besides whining about masks and how it’s all Trump’s fault.

Why did I know you were going to do that lol.
Here is a little something to satisfy your usual lack of curiosity:
He suggested that other numbers of infected illegal migrants (40,000 were apprehended in July) were evading Border Patrol Title 42 returns "for their own economic endeavors" and are presumed to be have worked their way into the interior to infect other working illegal migrant communities.
"They're running. They're fighting. They're doing everything that they can to avoid apprehension," he said. "Even though some of the illegal aliens know, or highly suspect, that they have Covid ... they're still coming. They're exposing everyone they come in contact with during their journey, as they illegally try to enter this country."
In doing so, "They endanger the lives of CBP personnel and their families and those in our border communities and beyond. They don't just remain in the border towns and cities. A single Covid illegal alien could infect hundreds of other illegal aliens as well as our workforce."
It is beyond dispute that untold numbers of illegal immigrants, dual-citizenship Mexicans, Mexican visa-holders of various kinds, and American expatriates have been fleeing overwhelmed Mexican hospitals and contributing to the filling of American ones since at least early June.

Don’t waste my time with ‘but Townhall’ because that’s the federal border commissioner speaking.
You and Poli see that number? It’s bigger than 61, even. They apprehended 40,000[!] infected immigrants at the border just in July. No damn wonder AZ, TX and CA saw or have current spikes.
But you don’t give a crap; Poli doesn’t give a crap; the majority of the media doesn’t give a crap. If Fauci gives a crap I’ve yet to hear him opine on it.
Btw, where you suppose these immigrants end up if they get sick with COVID?
Since you’d not curious why this isn’t being harped on by the media I’ll tell you: it’s the Round Peg that won’t go in the Square Hole of the ‘it’s Trump fault’ narrative. Worse yet, it’s an implicit argument for tighter border/immigration control. Something Trump ran on and Democrats and many Republicans stood in the way of for three years.
Should the media report on this—in light of what Democrats are advocating this election?
Should we hold our breath?
