    Active cases have risen again.

    Seems like every time we start to make some progress, people think it's OK to forget all about it and cause another setback.

    Cases are rising even with masks being worn just about everywhere lol?

    I saw where there’s something like 36,000 cases on college campuses but they never report on the rate of hospitalizations with the affected 19-24 year olds. Not sure why that is. Actually, I do know why that is.

    Then there’s the bit about positive PCR tests ringing up outrageously high numbers of effectively false positives. That got memory holed. So when one hears about 36,000 cases on college campuses—what’s that actually mean?

    At any rate, the Sun Belt proved spikes can be put in the rear view mirror without undo ‘inconvenience’ to affected economies and societies.

    So, we press on. If it weren’t for the teachers unions the school kids could have at least a semblance of normalcy. Their lives and futures are literally being damaged—but not by the virus.

    When teachers die from COVID-19 that is most certainly an 'undue inconvenience.'

    Deaths are more than an inconvenience. They are an end of life.

    Darth doesn’t realize not everyone is practicing safety protocols, not everyone is wearing masks, social distancing or washing hands.

    Trump held another super spreader last night. It was at least outside, but very few masks and no social distancing.

    But statements like that are consistently made without any perspective.

    During the H1N1 pandemic we actually losing kids and young people. Not as in anecdotes involving profound comorbid factors. We were losing *healthy* kids and young people to H1N1. No doubt, that included some teachers.

    Where were the teachers unions then?

    Deaths are beginning to rise again. A lot of the problem appears to be transmission by teenagers and people in their 20's. It is almost certainly getting worse.

    Americans are getting bored. Viruses do not get bored. Viruses just keep trying, without ever stopping.

    Deaths at another time do not make these deaths any less of a concern. H1N1 deaths totaled far fewer than COVID-19.

    We have an ongoing deadly pandemic that President Trump privately acknowledged is deadlier than the flu. We need strong consistent leadership. We didn't get that. People are dying needlessly.

    This is no time to let our guard down. It is more widespread than ever. Two and a half million Americans are confirmed sick with this right now. How many more have it and don't know it? How many of them are walking around pretending there is no need for a mask?

    That is the thing about viruses, they are simply relentless. We let our guard down, and they are attacking. We fail to vaccinate, and they are attacking.

    Those in the Alt Right that say that viruses decide to stop "virusing" over time do not understand viruses.

    Much of the population still believes that the virus isn't dangerous. This is largely due to people,. like yourself and the Mango Moron, downplaying its significance.
