What happened to my ¤cash?
I don’t think that was directed at you.
But to your statement regarding interest, I think we all share the same interest. IMHO there’s a lot of very puzzling things going on, and I think the puzzle is being made more complex by click-bait reporting practices that require virtually no vetting before they get pushed out.
From what I (personally) can surmise is that there are a number of things potentially at work, those have all been discussed by myself and other members in the past few pages for your reading pleasure if you’ve not already done. My short list includes:
* A lot of the new cases are showing up in younger people who are less likely to have severe symptoms or die
* The virus is, like other virus seen in the past, reaching a critical mass where it starts to burn out (that’s part of the 20% infection rate discussion from the last two pages)
* The virus is up for a Darwin Award in that it’s doing itself no favors by the most lethal mutations killing their hosts leaving the less lethal mutations more likely to be spread
I also like to think that there’s something to be said for the vitamin D argument. Well, if I believe it or not is another story, but I AM using it as my opportunity to spend a lot of time in the yard with no shirt on getting a tan.
I’m sure that there are other theories as to why we’re seeing increased infections with a flat curve for deaths which has the net effect of driving the overall death rate down. But the above are the ones that I’ve spent time reading about and from my amatuer prospective, seem to have merit.

My "opinion"? Lulz. The info and graphs I provide are compiled from official sources, not some opinion articles trying to draw clicks to their sites.I'm comfortable quoting from sources that are better informed than your "opinion".
I'm supplying "information" your supplying "snark". But "snark" does go better with beer!

Georgia Department of Public Health Daily Status Report
On May 1st--the day after many restrictions were lifted--the seven-day-moving-average (SDMA) for COVID cases was 678. On May 25th, the day George Floyd was killed, the SDMA was down to 593 cases. Now, while the SDMA undulated down, then up, and then back down again during that 3 1/2 timeframe, the difference between the lowest and highest SDMA in that period was 169, and in fact on May 25th the SDMA was the lowest it had been in 12 days. Then demonstrations started almost immediately after Floyd's death. Although the SDMA had already started to increase slightly, the biggest jump came on June 1st, a full week after Floyd's death and six days after the start of protests. From May 31st, the SDMA has jumped from 670 cases to 1,108 cases on Jun 16th (latest date with "confirmed" data), an increase of over 65%. Their chart also shows a peak "preliminary" SDMA of 1602 on Jun 23rd, after which they show a steep "preliminary" drop-off, likely due to the effects of the protests wearing out.
So now we see what happens when politicians apply a double standard. They're supposedly still worried about slowly reopening businesses and other day-to-day functions, but having tens of thousands of people running around in a tightly-packed mobs for days is just fine.

So, Taosman says to me:
...but I talk down to him. OK...I'm comfortable quoting from sources that are better informed than your "opinion".
I'm supplying "information" your supplying "snark". But "snark" does go better with beer!

Good or Bad?
Buying up the world’s supply of remdesivir is not just a reaction to the increasing spread and death toll. The US has taken an “America first” attitude throughout the global pandemic.

Senior Shopping from Krogers/Smith's today. More frozen Stauffer's Lasagna. Yellow squash. Mangoes. Shrimp. Dove Bars. Blue Corn Taco shells(Kroger brand), baking potatoes for some fresh potato salad. No Arizona Green Tea. No Newman's Own frozen pizza. Local organic market for some Snapper, uncured Bacon, local ham lunch meat. Local hot-dogs. Butterflied pork chops. (pork tacos) Everyone wearing masks including Texas visitors. Town is moderately busy with Texans and some Californians. Texas shutdown having some effect on number of visitors. Was reported to me that a group of Texans got irate when asked to wear masks before entering a local small business. They were abusive to the owner and threatened a police call. Was explained to them about state mandated mask wearing. They left.
