The United States is under international lockdown. No one wants Americans in their countries! The States lead the world by far with over 3.1 million COVID-19 cases and over 134,000 Covid deaths. That’s 1/4 of the total COVID 19 deaths in the world! Winning!! All on you, tRump!

Um, when health services ONLY get paid per positive, I bet we find out that positives massively inflated by corruption 😉

Australia isolates virus-prone state, Serbs oppose lockdownAustralia has isolated the state of Victoria in a bid to contain the worsening spread of the coronavirus as the city of Melbourne prepared for its second lockdown, an example of a resurgent disease in places that initially succeeded in taming it.

As Virus Spreads, States Face a Truth: 'We Cannot Test Our Way Out of This'WASHINGTON -- As the United States struggled with coronavirus testing this spring, Tennessee was the rare state that lived up to President Donald Trump&39;s promise that "anybody that wants a test can get a test."

Then some of us got antsy about opening back up and here we are. Y'all DO know that just hiding from the virus won't work right? A tactic doomed to fail. Getting out there with it right now (during the summer heat, as it tries to burn out via younger hosts) is the best way forward. Winter will be too late. Act Now!
