Pandemic is not over yet

The COVID-19 pandemic is still here. As of this post more than 120,000 dead in US with over 2 million cases. This is my favorite statistics page: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/. There is nice clickable arrows that let you sort the columns without refreshing the page.

Besides China, whose number simply cannot be trusted, many countries have seen decline but not in the US. That's because too many Americans think they are invincible and not wear masks. They can't wait to reopen can't wait to go to the beach and the bars. Look at that link above.. the death rate is 11% in the US if you get it. It will not only affect older folks, younger folks get it too! Such invincible thought (arrogance) is going to kill some of you and your family while the hospitals evil grin and collect all your money before your death and even after your death.

And Trump's speech say slow down the testing to avoid numbers going up?? https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/22/politics/donald-trump-testing-slow-down-response/index.html. Now that's just fooling yourself. Like trying to steal a valuable bell but covering your own ears and hacking it into pieces as told in a classic story. Just as bad as suggesting injecting Clorox on yourself. Really. You-are-fired. We need another guy as president.

Now it is still not very clear where is the virus coming from. Sure, it is bats, scientists say. In Wuhan. Is it the wet market? Still no one say for sure that there were actually bats in there. Or is it that virus lab? Everyone keep rejecting that possibility. One very good observation I heard was... waita minute, bats don't even live there in Wuhan how does it get to Wuhan in the first place? Of course there is the cover up and stuff and the world will seek answers from China after there is a real solution for this virus... Hope a vaccine can be produced soon and the world get back to normal.

Until then it still is dangerous out there. Use Masks. Or Risk Death. Is that clear America.

I support business re-open but with precaution required (but still no restaurants cause you can't eat with masks).

Work at home and work at work is not the same. Some business was like "ooh why didn't I think of that and try to save money and make everyone work from home". While yes, money and time saved in transportation and you can save rent by closing the office. But having people physically together can make you more productive and have better interactions. and not everyone have a awesome home office... and what about business that require your presence like the Starbucks near your office?
