This has got to be hard for gambling addicts. Maybe a few will break the habit... Probably not.

So USA officially surpassed Italy in death numbers. And now apparently it is killing more african-americans than other americans? Here are some reasons quoted in the article "African Americans are twice as likely to lack health insurance compared with their white counterparts, and more likely to live in medically underserved areas, where primary care is sparse or expensive." "Experts also point to initial research showing a high prevalence of Covid-19 among those suffering from obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes – risk factors more common among black Americans".

1) At some point we do have to get back to work. It's a valid point, Thriller. The country cannot continue like this indefinitely. So what's the plan? Wait until there's a vaccine? We cannot do that. People need to start discussing plans. That's reasonable, even for you.
2) What does their color have to do with it? Idiots are idiots, regardless of skin color. Tomi Lahren is an idiot, but her skin color ain't got **** to do about it.

1. I agree. But not yet. Not as thousands are dying each day. Not before we have better treatments for people. Not until we can actually test everyone and determine who is fit to work and who isn’t. You can’t jumpstart an economy while people are dying. You can’t jumpstart an economy when asymptotic people are infecting an average of 6 other people. That’s just insane. Sick and dying people don’t make for good workers. The blueprint for opening up is pretty clear. We have decided to not execute it. Mostly because our president can’t focus on anything for more than 5 seconds. We need a functioning federal government and that can’t be done with so many vacancies and so little expertise at the top. The economy isn’t going to “open up” with this happening:
A week from now we’ll be over the total number of casualties for the entire 3 year Korean War. And if it doesn’t slow, by the end of the month we will have passed the total number of casualties for the Vietnam War.
2. Why would (conservative and White supremacist) white people, like Tomi, show disregard for the black communities? Do you know anything about American history? It’s not hard what I'm trying to say here.
it’s not like she doesn’t have a history of saying racist things or ignoring issues quite important to POC.
Minorities are dying disproportionately from this from decades of racism and economic neglect. They disproportionately work in service industries, don’t have the wealth to others to buy services, have faced housing discrimination making it harder to social distance, and don’t have adequate access to health care. Blacks and Latinos are dying disproportionately is a clear indicator of the inequality in our country that people on Fox News ignore. Or worse, claim that they’ve brought on themselves.
to people like Tomi, who’ve never faced the discrimination that POC face, it’s easy for her to tell others to “shut up and go to work.” This has been said literally every decade when social justice advocates have brought up inconvenient facts to white people willfully ignorant of our inequality. If you’re actually interested in learning rather than just argue and spout off your typical talking points, read this. It’s a good article detailing the issues minority communities are dealing with. At some point, maybe America should address them?

Unbelievable
Things are still strict here and there are very few cases.
While I didn't agree with those models and think they were way over you are misunderstanding some of them. They were based on people doing nothing. People and the USA have done something, a lot of something. Had USA done nothing and acted normal they would have been higher than other countries and it would have been exponentially worse.
Check out the "exponential growth" between March 31st and present. I was told these numbers would double possibly even triple, not stagnate like this. As I rightfully explained the AVERAGE time frame for "exponential growth" in the entire world is 1-2 weeks. I was told here "don't use averages" and for whatever reason America will be "exponentially growing" for months because...well not one of you ever explained why you just said it. Not once did anybody explain why Americans will get sick at a 30-50% of the population and the rest of the world is at around .05%. The lack of the most basic common sense is eye opening.
