I think the end result is that a bunch of other metroplexes end up reopening and then following NYC's model: surge until about 20% infected, then slowly suppress cases. I think Americans are too stupid to suppress cases with 0% herd immunity advantage, but 20% or so seems to be about the proper amount of training wheels since an R(t) < 1.25 is good enough rather than needing < 1.

This will probably peak in June and then be a slow burn down for at least a couple of months. Whether we learn our lesson or kick off another wave is probably region-dependent from there.

Rural places probably linger until they let their guard down then go up in flames when a spark makes its way in.

there are lots of leftists down here, and a very large minority(mostly black) population too. The demographics exist for it to be a blue state. But it is so brutally gerrymandered and suppressed that it will be red forever, no matter what. When I canvassed for a state senate candidate in my town, almost every black person who answered the door told me they couldn't vote because they have a felony conviction. Not one single white person said the same thing. It was loving wild

yospos used to have a dude from Oxford Mississippi who posted about how great it is

Amazon delivered a diving board for his pool in such a way that it kept his wife from pulling her Explorer directly into the garage, and he went on an apeshit tear about how irresponsible it was for them to make her step outside of her car and that was the end of his posts.

yes.

They delivered the board by leaning it against the garage door. She had to get out of the explorer and drag the board away from the garage door before getting back in and pressing the open button and pulling in. So, uh, 45 seconds work.

He went completely apeshit about that in the yospos jobs forum and called amazon over and over to complain about it.

we OPENED IT UP and i went to walmart and some lady I had to walk around had vomited while waiting in line. I was then glad I wore my half face respirator and switched glove pairs like 3x during the trip and then mopped the floors in the house just in case any had gotten on my shoes
