    beaches should reopen:

    1. Most beaches are wide enough for soc. distancing.
    2. Vitamin D is a good protection against a bad case of the virus
    3. People go there voluntarily, it is not a need. (as opposed to a grocery store)

    Nobody thinks that. But it is going to stop poverty.

    What's GA ???

    Alabama only 10K cases, so ofcourse it's going to increase if unlocked here, won't show till 3 weeks after before that just noise, you need to get to the 60-80% before you'll get a slow down.

    NYC, numbers dropping nicely day by day infected and death rate ( death rate follows Infected by average 7days ).

    Lockdown only slightly changes how fast you'll get it, everybody has got to get it, other than vunerable, the sooner everyone gets the sooner the vunerable can't get it, ie sweden and the sooner they can come out of hiding.

    People are choosing die from poverty and starvation rather than get a mild flu for 99% of us, madness.

    Some, UK the response was NO your going to kill us from most, 4 month Furlough extension to keep them happy, government really does bend over to the plebs these days.



    Italy only 9days since easing of lockdown, nothing showing yet, they shouldn't get much of a bump as they should pretty much all of had it.

    Obviously if Italy get a bump then I've been wrong all along.

    UK's coming down, I use different numbers broken down by area, down 2/3rds last 18days, where as worldometer isn't showing that, some massaging going on or back adding care home data, which is screwing it up.

  9. We do not get paid month to month. We still not socialist country. A lot of people lost jobs and have no money. Even to get unemployment it’s complicated because of month delays.
    People want to get on beaches, even go to retail store, restaurants, even to cruise ships (crazy).
    Big lines to enter stores even parks, restaurants. People want to get life.
