Let's wait and see, it might be too early to say a second wave will hit the country. Nevertheless, if it happens to become a threat again, other countries should start to prepare themselves asap.

The usa is still in his first wave and it's pretty ugly and it's far from over....

Michael Flor, the 70 year old survivor of COVID-19, has received a 181 page hospital bill for more than 1.1 million USD: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/inspiring-story-of-seattle-mans-coronavirus-survival-comes-with-a-1-1-million-dollar-hospital-bill/

I don't think capitalism and health care really sit that well together - they're too often pulling in different directions.

In the usa you are right but not in all the countries with an universal healthcare system!

Assuming you are new to this Thread, be aware that you'll have to do better than that offering, comrade btickler, the OP, runs a tight ship here.

The number of cases is actually 2.9 million in the USA.

Yep, 2.9 million in US. Stick with Worldometer or Johns Hopkins numbers...

And people still should be serious about wearing masks.

Snopes has proved that Tweet is fake. Just another smear attempt by those who fear how smart and savvy she is. VP AOC has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

There are numerous Americans under 40 (I said NUMEROUS - NOT ALL - BEFORE YOU SUB-40 AMERICANS START BARKING!) that have the attitude that it is no risk to them and the whole thing is a sham and they are going to live their life. They don't even think about what they are doing, and figure if the get it, eh, death rate is low.

Problem is, you go to that big pool party in Michigan this weekend or that area in Missouri over Memorial Day weekend, and what do you do? You give it to mom, grandma, and other elderly people that you come in contact with at the grocery store all because you had to be a moron! There are two things causing our numbers not to go down:

1) The morons at the top. They don't give two hoots about anybody's health, and all they want to do is keep separation in America and jack up the stock market numbers. That is all the superiors up top care about. Dis-unite the county and keep the rich rich!

2) Idiots that listen to the fools up top that claim it is no big deal and get into mass gatherings with no social Distancing or masks. People like this need to get the virus and need to get it really really bad, and then when the hospital beds are overloaded, treat the ones that these partying fools gave it to, like their parents, and kick the partiers to the curb and let them kick the bucket!

People need to take this bleeping bleep seriously, and way too many people are not!

If you are taking safe measures, and somehow manage to catch it anyway, my prayers are out for you and I wish you a speedy recovery and I hope the stressed out health care workers are able to take care of you.

If you are treating this like a hoax, going to large gatherings like pool parties or political rallies, and you get the virus, hope the hospitals kick you to the curb for being stupid!

Same thing in Brazil; a right wing President that refuse to see the reality and now with 22 millions cases and 100 000 deaths and soon 5 000 deaths per day! Those numbers are from the experts because the oficial number are fake!

I went and checked to be sure. Caedrel is right, thanks for pointing that out:

As to AOC VP, yes, sounds good, but I doubt that Biden would do it. Still, perhaps she'll run for President in the next Presidential election, who knows.

Biden will never get a left wing person has a VP.and common sense tell that AOC is not that stupid!

Sorry - I checked it from my desktop and then the internet cut out, so I had to post from my mobile device, where that sort of cut & paste is way harder.

Also, I am conscious that in responding to a political post I have continued the political discussion, which is against the rules, so I'm going to stop now.

Yep, please cut out the Trump/Biden/AOC references in a political context. Morphy, please watch what sources you are presenting for "news". Chain Emails, viral shares from Facebook, or images from bloggers without credentials do not qualify.

US over 3 million cases now.
