    The daily news shows up daily the cost of stupid.

    What the East Coast largely avoided was cascade failure.

    What the stupid states are about to learn is what cascade failure is.

    I need to apologise for my next statement, in advance. You bought it, and if you're happy, I'm happy. Darwin awards for all...

    Majority of those death occurred at the beginning of the virus when no one knew much about the virus. You also seem to want to ignore how very different places in NJ and NY are from states in the middle of the country. Not only are certain cities in NY and NJ some of the most densely populated areas where tens of thousands live in apt buildings, but these areas also have a massive amount of people who take mass transportation via subways, buses and taxis. Ever see the foot traffic in Times Square, Wall Street, for examples? Early on before we knew anything about masks and social distancing it makes sense NJ and NY would get hit the hardest. There is no excuse for areas getting hit hard now. We know the precautions to take but these certain states either flat out ignore them or came to the party a tad late.

    I find it interesting that nobody made the masks and virus connection right away, it's not like masks or viri are a new thing.

    They made the connection 100 years ago, but 2020? Nah, jury's out on that.

    That is because more people would have died the first go round.

    Why would they have? When have you ever experienced such a virus in the US where a mask or social distancing was needed?

    number of deaths is a highest in states run by Democrats.
    Number of cases does not matter since most of them are just common cold or asymptomatic

    Covid is making every Americans worst fears come true. We are turning into an authoritative society. What is worse is our own citizens are becoming blind sheep, not rising against their own health departments that are becoming authoritative in of themselves. You do t reward a bad kid or dog with treats, same logic applies here.

    I have nothing to fear by refusing to comply with the mandate, nor should others. This hysteria has to end somewhere, because it’s only getting worse. Compliance is not key here, when your own health department had been weaponized against you.

    Just WHO is being shut down anyway? When I go out ALL the food stores are open, the hardware shops. hell the GUN stores are doing a land office business. What ISN'T essential?

    Apparently the Trumper leadership wants to kill us all so they can go bowling. Doncha' just LOVE conservative "reformer" types whose 'new' politics seemingly consists mainly in having NO social responsibility themselves while getting all over poor people for having children while below the upper middle demographic. How dare those profligate wastrels not have 6 months income (which exceeds even the Mormons) laid by in case the government visits a Great Plague on everybody for the betterment of the Mad King who caused it.

    (Please note I said the Trumper LEADERSHIP. Trumpers themselves, except for their odd political practices seem rational and, dare I say, sometimes even nice people.)
