    You think more black Americans falling ill will take care of that problem? That is the essence of the OP. Anybody with any concern for the human race would think this sentiment is detestable.

    I merely posted that link to show that rural hospitals are already overwhelmed in the South, like right next door in Alabama.

    This is going to get much worse...this weekend was a big error in judgment for a lot of people. The MO Health Commissioner just said that everyone at that Lake of the Ozarks party (which I'm sure you've seen the video and photos) must isolate for 14 days now.

    And then there's the case of the two hair stylists who spread COVID to over 150 people at a salon...plus all the people they exposed when they weren't at work. One of them went to the gym three times despite having visible symptoms:

    A second hairstylist who worked while symptomatic potentially exposed 56 clients to Covid-19, officials say

    I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of cases from those outings. Fortunately, there are still more people walking around in masks than going to the beach.

    Yes, thankfully. The masks are definitely prevalent in Atlanta, less so outside the city. I think most people are also staying at home anyway. But this past weekend was not good...I read 80,000 people went to Tybee Island (near Savannah) from all over the South. I read that GA was getting something like 60,000 people from out of state since we reopened. What a mess.

    Hello Flash,

    For example, when his signature says "the future of America is bright, not white" he is promoting hate.
    We are probably the same distance from center but on opposite sides. I get what you're reading into the OP, but I am pointing out that has to be read into it. It is not literally there. And, mind that I am only considering the one OP post because that is what my comment was on that has been criticized. For that purpose, it is disingenuous to compare my comment to any other posts by the author, and I will always reject such attempts to do so as such.

    As for 'bright not white,' I do not see that as racist, but an accurate reference to the FACT that the USA is not a white nation. We are a diverse nation with lots of varieties. And since we are becoming even more diverse, projections show that whites will actually become a minority at some point in the not too distant future. Once again, I don't see a reference to this reality as having anything to do with hatred. Actually it can be seen as countering the hatred of the many all white alt right hate groups out there, which are listed as racist hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
