Oops! I gloated too soon. Yesterday the governor opened our borders to visitors from neighboring counties with low infection rates (below 400 per million), which includes most of NH, ME, western MA, and northern NY. Les Québécois still not welcome, per Der Fuehrer in DC and his ICE-y attitude regarding "furriners". (Anglo Canadians seem to be OK.) WTF!Don't come here unless you want to go into solitary for fourteen days.
Of course, it's the human condition. As we reluctantly acknowledge our innate subconscious biases, how can we disavow the hypocrisies that arise from them?There is a strong whiff of hypocrisy around this topic, IMO.
The US, ever since it became a world power, has behaved like a muscular, arrogant, headstrong adolescent: "Baby Huey", a bull in a china shop, to the consternation of the ROW who mostly have much older, more experienced societies than we. We lack the wisdom to match our muscle. Look who we choose for leaders.Perhaps ... but THAT is not unique to this crisis or this administration. The RestOfWorld has often thought USA was out-of-whack in the past. So what ...? That didn't make ROW right.

So we're down to 29 ICU patients (was 1500 in April), 2 dead today. Total amount of patients In hospital with COVID is less then 200. Contrary to the believe of some world leaders, the total amount of known corona patients went down, despite of increasing the amount of tests considerably.
How so? Please explain.
The crisis is just that, a biological crisis, that should not be confused with a political crisis ... this is not case.
I shouldn't have to explain that to a Mod, IMO
I don't really understand what you mean. It's not only a biological crisis in my opinion, it's a humanitarian crisis, a political crisis, an economical crisis as wel as a biological one. Everything is involved. The worst will be the economical crisis, as many companies will struggle to get through this.How so? Please explain.

And I'm really puzzled by your platitudes Marcel. You have a sharp nose for politicization of threads when it suits you.
