He actually started acting like the virus was a serious issue affecting the United States and not just something other places are dealing with. ...but then people saw how he was handling it “seriously” and the disapproval started to rise again. I think people genuinely wanted to give Donald the benefit of the doubt, that he would start to handle the pandemic sanely and competently.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I bet that more than a few of the "Disapprove" respondents are doing so because he didn't send in the tanks to crush the BLM protesters under their treads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one sense it's nice to see it's possible, but also sad and frustrating that it takes such tragedy. I mean look at Florida, God's waiting room. Other than announcing a fucking dystopian 65 year life limit, him and DeSantis have pretty much ran a political science experiment on how badly you can treat a loyal constituency before they turn on you.

Other than announcing a fucking dystopian 65 year life limit, him and DeSantis have pretty much ran a political science experiment on how badly you can treat a loyal constituency before they turn on you. The Republican party’s seeming disinterest in taking this seriously to safeguard the elderly has been baffling to me. It’s their most loyal voting block, and the voting block that votes most regularly. It’s like they’re actively trying to either piss them off or kill them off. Neither will help them in November.

osxmatt Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 - 67,000 daily cases is a new record. - 51,000 current hospitalizations the most since late April. - The death rate continues to climb and has more than doubled in Arizona, California, Florida, South Carolina, and Texas.

CitizenVectron Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 That's only because you can fit less people in a Texas hospital because everyone is wearing cowboy hats. They'll remove the hat requirement if needed and then they can fit 50% more people in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricofoley Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Illinois cases and positive % are both on the upswing now. It's been exactly two weeks since we reopened partial indoor restaurants and bars. Illinois has handled itself better then some, but I think they fucked up with that. I don't think anything involving prolonged indoor exposure is going to work until the baseline of cases are way, way further down. I honestly don't know what to do with school in the fall. I'd be an absolute mess right now if I had kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry McMaster announced on Friday that all bars and restaurants in the state must stop serving alcohol by 11 each night to try to stem a statewide rise in coronavirus cases. This week, South Carolina is averaging 1,570 new cases of the virus per day. That's more than twice the rate of new cases compared with three weeks ago.
