Sure, we could stop all testing and say, that’s better, we are down to zero. Wouldn’t change the fact that we had 71,000 new confirmed cases today. A new record by the way

I don't know about you but when I shart it still goes all the way through my garments, unless it is plastic (N95) underwear it will soak through. Where are you getting your facts? Some states have not had a peak yet such as Arizona and Florida. Other states have already went through a peak. The states that went through a peak did not overflow the hospitals, which was the goal from the beginning of quarantine. The goal keeps changing pending an election. Not only did the CDC mess up amount of cases they were counting antibody tests as positive. I just read an article that Goliath, ya know David vs Goliath, was killed by COVID-19, even though he had signs of blunt force trauma.

The US has a population of 328.2 million people. 71,000 new cases is such a small number my calculator can't put that many zeros before the percentage. But even the US skewed death count of 136,000 as of today, that is a .000414% chance of dying from COVID-19. Percentage of infected .00987% The odds of even getting infected are very low and the odds of dying are even lower. We shut down the economy for this? The death rate is decreasing. 2.8M people died in the US in 2018 from all causes. Try having some perspective. If that low percentages are too scary for you then stay in a bubble, it is your choice. But for left leaning governors to start telling us who should be open, who must wear face masks, and having dictatorship type power for however long COVID stays around is absurd.

PS How sad that the top running democrat is allowed to continue with obvious dementia.

No. Care Bear's former airline which he loves to bash all the time. We are also resuming upgrades, hiring FAs, and planning to hire pilots again next summer.

Well that is a very heartwarming story. I am quite relieved though to hear that it is your airline and not ours opening a base in Iowa.
