For an area that refuses to wear masks in Publix, this isn’t good. That’s a lot. For an area that refuses to wear masks in Publix, this isn’t good.

In other words, "WE IN A HEAP OF TROUBLE." I was watching a fellow at a political rally in Tulsa today convinced he couldn't get infected but if he did that Hydroxychloroquine would quickly cure it.

It seems like not going back into a lockdown will be disastrous? Being that the more people who have it the more people there are who can catch it and the numbers we see today are really showing us what happened 1 1/2 to 3 weeks ago and the numbers in 3 weeks are going to reflect this big increase and spreadability, plus another increase of some size from BLM protesters. I'm pretty sure without locking things back down right now, that we can forget about the idea of reopening schools in Aug or Sept. Ignoring this problem will only make it worse. It's about science and not about politics or economics.
