The U.S. death toll from the coronavirus neared 100,000 on the holiday weekend, as limits eased and Americans, including the president, went out to play--many without precautions.

Preparing to celebrate Memorial Day, Americans flocked to beaches and parks Sunday, with many ignoring disease precautions even as the nation’sAs public health experts made a fresh round of appeals for physical distancing and face coverings, President Trump visited his Virginia golf property for a second straight day. He delivered an upbeat message while heading for the links, despite both the death count and predictions that double-digit U.S.

“Out of respect for each other, as Americans that care for each other, we need to be wearing masks in public when we cannot social-distance,” Birx said on “Fox News Sunday.”That message was echoed in sharper terms by Tom Bossert, Trump’s former White House homeland security advisor, who has at times been critical of the administration’s pandemic response.

With the three-day holiday weekend in full swing, news reports and social media featured many images of people clustering tightly at waterfronts, in swimming pools and in alfresco bars and restaurants without wearing masks. However, despite Trump’s insistence Friday that states allow places of worship to reopen, Americans did not seem to be filling pews Sunday; even conservative congregations were largely closed, offering prayer fellowship online or in parking lots.

Although many people are flouting distancing and masking recommendations while outdoors, Birx told ABC, “I think that’s our job to continue to communicate.”, a senior Trump advisor said Sunday that joblessness would continue to rise this month and next, after reaching nearly 40 million claims last week.“The unemployment rate will be higher in June than in May, but then after that, it should start to trend down,” economic advisor Kevin Hassett said on CNN’s “State of the Union.

Let freedom ring! Who cares about this stupid lefty liberal lockdown?

Many without precautions? Pathetic comment.

The chance of dying from COVID-19 in the USA is 0.02%. Remember that when you read propaganda like this.

Here are some comparative numbers for all the mathematically-challenged readers.

La times dumb

Hmm - even with a deceptive camera lense, the people on the beach look like there is a lot of distance between them

Except 100k is a lie and it’s closer to 20k in reality. Didn’t you hear what Dr Brix said? pisspoorreporting

So, it’s early Monday morning, after the restrictions were eased over the weekend, and people have already had time to contract the disease, get tested, die, get counted in the death toll, and make it in the latimes already? Wow.

USA is insane. Maybe they get lucky because the hot weather and summer months. But it’s like playing Russian roulette.

A shame to die playing or working? DeBlasio:”100,000 will be food deprived.” Cuomo:”People are going hungry.”

The best thing Americans can do...get outside in the fresh air and sunshine!!!! This is the best antivirus treatment available!!! Fauci and the others don’t like it because it’s free, and best yet, they’re not in control!!!

Can you please do some studying? The outdoors is the best way to rid the virus.

So by the WE have to be inside home until after the election 🗳 right ?

Wish you had credibility, I would really like to know what's going on. However even if your lie of a 100,000 was true, it still doesn't come close to a threshold that warrants a shut down.

They (Biden and Kerry) are frauds! Quid Pro Quo!!! Ukraine After you two! Expose the fraud!

ALL THE PEOPLE THAT REFUSES TO WEAR MASKS, SHOULD ALSO SIGN A DOCUMENT WHERE THEY WOULD NOT SEEK MEDICAL CARE FOR THEM OR THEIR FAMILIES.

I am an anti masker.

It's called freedom. Love it or leave it

Trump doesn't care. All he cares about is reelection.

This was just a couple of years ago. This was just the flu!!

Fake news

How do we know those are correct numbers?

Because life must go on.

My mom always told me to make sure I had protection when I went out to party.

Oh, look! It's a bunch of CovidShamers wanting everyone to kill themselves after being on lockdown for 3 months and then enjoying a little golf & exercise. I've known more people who've committed suicide since March than have TESTED positive for Covid_19.

It’s a fucking holiday weekend , give the doom and gloom a rest there captain buzzkill

Don’t believe any of the numbers..,.politics takes precedence!

The more people that disappear, the more room I have on the roads....go on...keep Rona happy. It's going to hot though, so these idiots might just get lucky...but fall will be here soon....

Fake news!

Will be interesting to see total flu deaths for 2020 compared to previous years.

99% survival rate

This is why your business continues to diminish. Every headline is a statement of bias.

Individual freedom is chaos. We need to restore control. Or in the least, expand Next Door so you can scold a much large group of people.

Rag newspapers

Anybody else got a bad feeling about this?

Good. Covid19 is a great cull of the weak, obese and invalid. Also, taking a healthy set of ppl off of social security (which is needed if we want that program to be around come 2035 and beyond)

People still drive without seatbelts. People ride motorcycles without helmets. Heck, some rebels put QTips inside their ears. I hear tell some rapscallions even tear those tags off that tell you it’s against the law to! My God, some people just insist on self-determination.

While an avg of 8,000 people die each day in the US according to the CDC. Keep it in perspective.

Watch the infection rates over the next month.

Trump is determined to kill for an election win, and Trumpers are happy to be his accomplices.

where is the pan dammit?

Ok Karen

Keep a watch on cases in 4 weeks.

Not us we were safer at home

If a democrat was president... “millions enjoy holiday weekend as corona virus deaths decline” ( I’m a registered dem)
