Arkansas is just not testing. It has a population of over 3 million and less than 3500 'confirmed' cases.

positive cases are meaningless

minnesota is seeing a big bump because we're actually ramping up testing, not because things are actually getting worse here (they might be but positive tests don't show that)

Gotta make sure we put in that clause employees can sue employers if they get sick to clamp down on those frivolous lawsuits

Yeah the only thing legislators care about at this point is shielding employers from any and all liability for getting sick at the workplace. Workers comp rules are getting redone everywhere

maybe there won't be a massive, out of control spike because people of good conscious are taking it upon themselves to limit their exposure to the community.

with any luck it will mostly be the chuds that die for number in the next couple of months.

No American alive today has any memory of a crisis like this.

Even in a best case, overly optimistic scenario 20% unemployment is locked in until we get a vaccine (at the least).

No democratic government in history has survived a 25-30+ spike in unemployment in less than a year, absent swift reaction*

There is a not-insignificant proportion of Americans waiting for any kind of civil unrest so they can take their adult legoes and murder the guy across the street who blocked their driveway once.
