TimeOut

I see that about 20 states, may be more today are seeing a rise in positive corona virus cases.  Governors are reluctant

That's reason enough to tell people to stay home.

He told me to go back to the KKK.
I'm still shaking my head. Could be Huntingon's chorea, but it's probably a healthy response.

I wonder what is wrong with so many people of today.

“If you don’t agree with each and every one of our means and methods, without question, then you are against us.”

They are gripped with insanity. Hopefully it is temporary.

Imagine how much damage there would be if these were actually the same groups, given the huge number of protesters!

All this emanates from the tremendous disparity of wealth. Crazed billionaires like
Bezos are destroying USA

Looking at the data, overall US is still trending down, but yes, some states are trending up but do we know how many tests were performed?

How can anyone still give any credence to a news outlet that called an election, on the day of, 90/10 and be wrong. The media is the cancer of modern society.

not wearing masks, screaming, yelling, spitting etc.

... but there's still so much that's unknown about that. I'm sure a lot of people who attended those protests were otherwise being pretty vigilant about social distancing and wearing masks, so hopefully we'll get data about that in the next few weeks, to see how many of them become sick from outdoor protests. I hadn't noticed much of a difference between the mask-wearing behavior of the protesters and the non-protesters around them (e.g., random onlookers, law enforcement officers, etc.). I also hadn't noticed or heard about spitting.

Sometimes, watching news from the US makes me think the country operates in a parallel reality.

have reopened and they are absolutely packed, yet no one is wearing a mask.
Employees are required to do so but the guests in the casinos are not.
Makes no sense at all to me.

That's because people here were scarred by SARS and understood pandemics, so as soon as Covid19 hit, they all bought masks and those who weren't were frowned upon. And they put huge pressure on the government to make sure that masks were available. Also, the government started to test and trace early and very effectively, meaning that the public hospitals, which are of good quality, were never overrun. Schools have been closed since Chinese New Year (early February), any large public gathering was cancelled or postponed from February (including the HK Rugby 7's, the city's biggest event), bars were closed from early March and restaurants were to operate at 50% capacity.
Result: for a city / region of 7.5 million people, there were 1,100 cases and 4 deaths - and that's in one of the most densely populated places in the world.
Extrapolating on a population of 328 million like the US, this would mean 48,000 people infected (instead of 2.1 million) and 175 deaths (instead of 116,000).
In my view, the single biggest factor was the disciplined approach of the population to wearing masks. I simply do not understand the debate around it in the US: it works.

their cases, it will just spread to other countries when boarders are open. Countries cannot go into lockdown for too long as it not economical sustainable. They should open with measure like safe distancing and crowd control in place. Every life matters, but one’s freedom should not be built other risk of getting the diseases. Also healthcare should be accessible to everyone and not a selected few. 

For example, if you test 1,000 people and 100 are positive, that’s a 10% infection rate. Now, say, in the next similar time period, you test 10,000 people and 800 are positive. How do you report this news? Did the infection rate fall from 10% to 8% or did the number of positive cases increase 8 fold? Both statements are true. My simple point is the escalation in testing definitely affects the number of positive cases identified.

Here's a source that does provide rates per million population: www.worldometers.info #countries
Those rates are far more meaningful than frequency data (raw numbers), but keep in mind that nations and their subdivisions are using varying tests and criteria for positivity and for death causation, and some nations and some subdivisions of nations are believed to be manipulating their statistics for various reasons.
