    With the lockdowns, we sure have aimed for that and now the organized crime that's happening across the country which is only a sign of what this country has become is a sad state of affairs.

    Sounds like you don’t think highly of two of the shithole countries the left is/has defended ad nauseam.

    Leftists don't care about any logic. Even when they call themselves Democrats!

    The contortions are impressive. The same 'violent' individuals who did nothing to the governorships across the country(and specifically Michigan) are led to be believed to be the same type that engaged in the behavior of the last week.

    Yeah, call BS because it's BS. When our elected leaders lie to us, it's over for our society. Oh and I mean major lies that matter.

    That was essentially a terroristic threat. I have zero empathy for "protesters" who end up toe tagged as a result.

    Or more likely it proves the left is a circular firing squad.

    Pretty sure Arkanis was serious. Arkanis is to be dismissed though. Certain posts simply destroy someone's credibility and saying CNN isn't leftist is one of those posts.

    Haven't checked the numbers for awhile.

    As of now:
    We have 105,352 dead
    1,178,042 active cases
    Completed case death rate is 17%
    So, just completing the currently active cases is going to generate another 200,267 deaths, if no one from this moment on gets the infection, which obviously is not realistic. Nothing about that strikes me as "no longer a threat of consequence". Obviously you don't expect anyone you care about to be in that remaining 200,000+ dead.
    That means you can't catch it. So doesn't apply to the folks currently infected.
    It is? We are well on our way to 85% of us immune?

    “Without a vaccine, over 200 million Americans would have to get infected before we reach this [immunity] threshold,” Johns Hopkins University epidemiologists David Dowdy and Gypsyamber D’Souza wrote recently.

    We've had 1,811,541 cases so far. We are less than 1/110th of the way. If I have a $100 am I "well on my way" to $11,000?

    A lot of states have reported zero recoveries....so there should be more completed cases than the numbers show, bringing that case fatality rate down to a more realistic number.

    The white guy, who was using a skateboard to try to crack the CNN window, is actually from Birmingham and works for the Southern Poverty Law Center. Agenda driven and well financed.

    We may be about to see the first use of U.S. military against citizens on domestic soil since....when? Has it happened before? Scary thought.

    Constitutionally, Trump (and the military) has the right and obligation to defend the country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

    That's a far more effective way of dealing with destructive violence, looting and arson than telling the rioters to 'stay the course' and give them room.

    You bring up a great point. I have been expecting that number to drop with expanded testing, thinking that with all the mind cases being caught that it would fall, but, it's been holding pretty steady.

    Let me check the international number... that's sitting at 12%.

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-cases/

    Hopefully it drops to that or less. Although, even if it drops to 8.5%, we are still going to have another 100,000 dead just completing our currently actively infected.

    It is a slippery-slope. Ensuring domestic tranquility through use of military force has something of an oxymoronic ring to it.

    From a political standpoint, whatever Trump does will be "wrong". If the federal government doesn't step in and city mayors/governors continue to fail to protect their citizens and their cities, it will be "Trump's fault for not doing enough under his watch". If a governor asks the Pentagon to send in military, it won't fall on the governor's shoulders. It will be messaged as "See? Trump's a dictator." Sigh.

    I'm sure that some of the Antifa radicals would love to take the fall as martyrs against "Government fascism"....or something like that, where they play the victim role.

    I've just been calculating crude mortality rate (instead of case fatality rate) since the case and testing data are too squirrely and untrustworthy. Number of deaths divided by the total population (of a city, state, or the country). At least using the population as the denominator is stable every day.

    That's more common for sure. My concern with that is that the virus hasn't had time to work. When the last infected person dies or recovers, it will all be completed cases, so that's why I keep an eye on the completed case death rate.

    And not just to gang members and to mothers and fathers who do not want to give up their sons to the gangs, but to mayors, judges, prosecutors, and journalists. Their game is how many dead bodies can be stuffed into a 55 gal. steel drum.

    And CNN might have said a word or two out of millions of words that might have offended the director of riot strategy.
