COVID-19 Outbreak (Update: More than 2.9M cases and 132,313 deaths in US)

I don't disagree. I think it's absolutely sad that not even a global pandemic can bridge the polarized political divide in the country. To me, it's a sign that we are irreparably broken as a nation.

For the purposes of the thread though if we can just keep from criticizing at the Republican/Democrat level or mentioning Trump specifically in a critical way (because that really triggers folks) we can at least keep the thread from derailing.

Once again, I know that's easier said than done, but it is possible and we don't have to pretend, just color inside the lines.

Exactly. While we all know what going on, who hid the CDC plan for guidance in reopening, the one who said the magic fairy was going to make it disappear in April, the same one who said we have nothing to worry about and had the military doing flyovers to gloriously reopen the economy without care as to testing, tracking, personal distancing, or any other safety measure without having to say who it is who is leading this.
