The answer is simple, American society overall is brainwashed. If the media says something (especially both the "left" and "right" sides of the media) most people will go with it. Fox News, NPR, and the New York Times are saying the same thing with minor variation.

The elite of this country found a system that worked so well that they started to believe it and the result is complete catastrophe.

The city actually kicked in money and rented a bunch of rooms at a hotel for our families and our more vulnerable guests. The idea was they would quarantine and be safe, but we can't seem to control them and they come and go -- and we let them???? Plus, the hotel is getting pissed because they are trashing the hotel. We've had 1 positive test at our "quarantine" hotel, so great quarantine. Everyone else at that hotel tested negative somehow.

If it gets into the shelter and the sleep dorms, wohoo, train on fire.

Im in Canada and just up the street they converted apartments destined for demolition (for another condo...) into housing for the homeless, they have 24/7 guards at the entrance and a social worker office during the day, and even then there’s still problems with the few serious addicts or mentally ill, or dealers etc trying to get in.

Dunno what your case expected just dumping people on a hotel to figure out

Since this came up before, the trib article on table C said they got infected by air blowing back. But the CDC study says there was a return air inlet by table C so I'm not sure how that's been interpreted. Airflow is a mystery to me

i would think more about the fact that it took me 5 minutes to buy an AR15 with five 30 round mags

The one difference with Italy is that is was generally large families in dense spaces with a lot of inter generational transmission.

AZ might fair better if it’s just a bunch of retired types hiding from children and neighbours in their suburban sprawl

Why would you be shocked though? When have humans ever expressed long-term sorrow or grieving over deaths? There's a reason we show remembrance of deaths with a minute of silence, because a minute is about the max anyone gives a poo poo about anything. Hell, it's easier to express mourning and rage over a single person dying, as that provides a clear focal point for people to pinpoint. More people have mourned George Floyd than will ever mourn covid deaths, as he is a singular tragic symbol people can see clearly. When thousands or millions die, it just becomes white noise.

This isn't just Hellword, this is Chudworld. Humans don't care, full stop.

Natural cures they don't want you to know about.
One Trump supporter, who said Saturday will be the 64th rally he has attended, is part of a group of Mr. Trump’s superfans who call themselves “Front Row Joes.” Other members had arrived in Tulsa as early as Monday, he said. He made it to town on Thursday.

The man, who is 60, said he was not worried about the spread of coronavirus in the arena here. (Previous reports show he was arrested for disorderly conduct after disrupting a 2019 event in Iowa for Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts.)

“Sure, the virus is out there. But when you look at the survivability rate — I’ll take those odds,” he said, laughing.

He said this rally feels different.

“We’re going to show the country and were going to show the world that we need to open up,” he said. “We’re Americans. We have freedom and choice. And we have the choice to be at risk.”

Oklahoma reported a record number of cases on Thursday: 450, up from 259 on Wednesday. It was the fifth consecutive day that levels reached new highs.

my coworkers invited me a couple days ago to go to a brewery tonight. i asked about distancing, and they said it was easy since you could go outside. i slept on it a couple nights, and today, i was like gently caress no. no one should be getting unnecessary service right now. get a growler if you want to support the business and meet in your backyard.
