Some of the lockdowns are part of TDS. When Trump says we should open up the economy as soon as possible, those with the syndrome reflexively demand things stay closed. Just like with the use of hydroxychloroquine ... Trump says it might be useful and so a whole bunch of people and organizations have a full-fledged attack on multiple aspects of the drug — a drug that has been given safely for more than 50 years.

If the immunity is as high as estimated this 2nd wave will fizzle out, probably has already started, and we will have just sporadic outbreaks like in Europe. I doubt they can maintain lockdowns beyond August and flu season is still 3 months or more away. Look for newly day lows soon, infections and deaths.

Trump needs to come out and say, 'We should never end lockdowns, never I say, to be careful'.
Everything would be open before the end of that day.

It is dropping already from what I've seen. https://twitter.com/covid19crusher?lang=en

We should have it written in our Constitution, at the top, no lockdowns allowed, because they are stupid.

Oh, wait, we do.

They'd say "we win!". They want to stay home all day and get the gov check. These are communists after all.

The lockdowns will continue until Trump is not president.***
*** Trump is not my president.
Those two statements are mutually exclusive, but that's what I call 'logic.'

That the darkest blue states are the most militant about lockdowns is proof to me that's it's mostly political.

Your average Blue Team member probably thinks Florida and Texas are the worst states for COVID and people are dropping like flies there.

The darkest blue states are also the ones with giant cities, where the virus has an easier time spreading. I can't imagine someone getting on a subway nowadays... it was bad enough with all the druggies and muggers.

I would think Florida's large population of ancient people would be a dropping like flies, but at least the mayors of their big cities aren't forcing the infected ancients back into their usual group retirement homes to infect the others.

I do think shutting down the subway was the right thing to do. Mass transit and mass indoor gatherings was reasonable to ban. That and indoor real (n95+) mask use would have been enough.

Also denser populations which have a bigger chance of overwhelming a hospital.

The South Dakota small towns of 5000 still has to have a hospital. They never locked down and never overwhelmed them.

This is entirely true. Try following CBS news with Norah O’Donnell on Facetwat. Nearly all of the commenters are blue team TDS sufferers, and they constantly refer to Florida and Texas as places to avoid for Covid reasons while praising New York. They are so fucking stupid and/or brainwashed, they don’t consider the death rate differentials between those places.

Or the simple fact that it was a delay before it got there, and the curve is identical?

The Dictator of NM has decided She's going to enforce Masks and social distancing and close down restaurants and businesses every time someone gets a cold.
What's going to be hilarious is when all of these Stupid fuckers lose all of their constituents, and these States with big double digit electoral votes, will be reduced to high single digit at best.

Mark my words it will come to that.
