normiss 622 #2580 July 8, 2020 The first reported case came on January 21. Within 99 days, 1 million Americans became infected. It took just 43 days after that to reach 2 million cases. And 28 days later, the US reached 3 million cases of the novel coronavirus Wednesday. We're approaching warp speed Captain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meanwhile, the President's rally was 18 days ago, all attendees had their temperature checked, everyone was provided a mask, and there was plenty of hand sanitizer available for all. It's obvious that the media's concern about large gatherings begins and ends with Trump rallies." So apparently the fact that hardly anyone was wearing masks is by the by, they were protected by the mere presence of masks! I wonder if he ever had to tell a college girlfriend that he couldn't have got her pregnant because of the condom he left in his wallet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,622 #2589 July 9, 2020 The U.S. sets another daily record for new cases, surpassing 59,000. As President Trump continued to press for a broader reopening of the United States, the country set another record for new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, with more than 59,400 infections announced, according to a New York Times database. It was the fifth national record set in nine days. The previous record, 56,567, was reported on Friday. The country reached a total of three million cases on Tuesday as the virus continued its resurgence in the West and the South. At least five states — Missouri, Texas, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia — set single-day records for new infections on Wednesday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
