Almost half of the COVID-19 cases in Montgomery County, Alabama, were confirmed in the last 14 days. Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed says one problem is people who 'have decided that the pandemic is over.'

Have you been seeing people in the city social distancing, wearing masks? Are residents taking those precautions? Is there something that makes your city more vulnerable? Where do you think the spike is coming from right now?

I heard today there are 3 deaths today that may be from Covid.

It would be useful if you added of tests, % positive rate instead of one raw number w/o context.

Super. Way to be free Alabama.

And how many of those are padded numbers

The American Ppl in Alabama are very special Ppl!

Red state, don’t care, let em die. MAGAts and the selfish will need to suffer to learn.

sorry people that's not how it works.

No shit.

I can see Alabama becoming a failed state after the second peak hits them

In me theory: actually loosening restrictions is being interpreted as the end of the pandemic.

Why do politicians seem so ignorant in Southeast states?

The numbers go up as the testing goes up. There is a 50% chance of a false positive so no wonder there are more cases.

Red state, right?

Oh Alabama? I’m surprised. Always doing the smart things down there

Gee...I wonder why they would think the pandemic is over?

People as in the governors and mayors?

They’ll eventually understand, but when they do, it’ll be too late.

this germ thought it could beat america... and america whupped it's A-S-S

Sure it has...I saw Trump on TV and he had no mask on...if the President doesn't bother the danger must be over....Idiocracy

Maybe. But what about Trump taxes?

Because their IgnorantAss Trumplican Governor doesn’t have any sense and she is leading her sheep to slaughter. What a jackass.

The BIGGEST part of the problem is Gov. Kay Fucking Ivey.

Now where could they have got an idea like that? 🤔

That's just football, Clete.

morgfair I'm sure other states will be seeing similar outcomes soon, since many more people are out and about behaving like we've beaten this virus.

I live in Morgan county AL, peeps here are fools, acting like everything is fine. Cases increasing, running out of ICU beds. More deaths are coming.. just stupid..

Reminder: The lockdowns were NOT intended to prevent anyone from ever becoming sick. The lockdowns were supposed to keep hospitals from becoming overwhelmed. The leftist media keeps moving the goalposts.

654 new cases in the state TODAY. A new record.

Montgomery is back to business as usual. Many people here/stopping thru here don't give a damn about nothing. Never have. Never will.

Has the number hospitalized increased or decreased? Has the number of deaths increased or decreased? DefundNPR im sick of my taxes going to fund DNC political ads like this shit

The young staff at the Silver Spring Maryland Giant Foods this afternoon...

TheGreatAwakening is why people have started gathering, too much proof of fakenews watch Hoaxed Get some insight, do some research, doctors are speaking the truth about false numbers, video evidence shows officials taking off masks ect

And you promise this has nothing to do w/ increased testing, right?

Mayor Reed needs to shout as much from city hall, loud enough so it reaches the state capitol, piercing the ears of Gov. Ivey!

Its absolutely crazy to criticize anybody but leadership right now. The one problem is government and our leaders. I will focus on the local village idiots a couple years after this crisis.

If not enough ICU beds, in Alabama they just ship you to hospital that has them. No matter how many miles or time

Who would have thought there would be a sane voice in a state full of morons?

Golly! I wonder who could have given people that idea?

This is our warning America- take heed. This thing is not over.

Trump's entire zombie horde decided the pandemic was over before it ever began.

Unfortunately Reed is an over-qualified captain supervising a crew of fools aboard a sinking ship.

It's almost like Doctors and epidemiologist and others with multi-year degrees had said something about this happening. But what do they know, they bathed in the blood of christ.

Have mercy ...

Texas coronavirus cases rise as Houston mayor says 'we're not equipped' to handle projected surgeMayor Sylvester Turner confirmed on Sunday that fire marshals would start to enforce health policies in place to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus in bars and clubs across the city. Nope. Sorry Texas. You aren't allowed to take the virus seriously with any of the guidelines like staying home, wearing masks near other people, etc. Sure it sounds like you'd be doing the educated thing & listening to experts but just means you're a sheeple or something.
