Record spike in confirmed #COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations in states across the #US as reopenings happen. https://nu.federati.net/url/270572 [www reuters com]
My advice: use some common sense. Wash your hands frequently, keep space between you and others, and wear a mask. Masks are nowhere near foolproof, but at the very least, they can help thin out the number of virus-laden droplets people send out into the air.

Looking at http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20994 it looks like the growth in *confirmed* cases of #COVID-19 is slowing and may even be declining in all four countries. Right now, I'm looking at #Germany, #Italy, #UK, #US. I know I could turn of exponential to get a better look at the numbers. But: (1) numbers are not per unit of population, which can make large countries look…

#US voters will get to choose a president for us from a field consisting of two dementia sufferers and lifelong compulsive liars with barely distinguishable racist and top-down class warfare agendas (one is more honest about it than the other). One of them has a natural gift for reflexive schoolyard verbal abuse, while the other is notoriously slow-witted and will be much mor…

When you have decades of evidence showing how many civilians are killed by drone strikes, yet you continue to carry out drone strikes, there are no "accidental" deaths by drone strike. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-afghanistan-attack-drones-idUSKBN1W40NW #US #Afghanistan #PineNuts

Ha. John Bolton is out. Couldn't happen to a nicer raving nutcase. Can't understand why #Trump occasionally appoints people with an agenda (albeit an unspeakably vile one) when all he really wants is utterly unprincipled craven subservience. Lasted longer than Bannon though.
