I dont see how they can go back to what they were. All the while, China is making serious power moves.

They won't go back to what they were. But what they were was extremely flawed in many ways, so there's an opportunity here.

Increase makes sense given the recent outbreaks from parties/bars that we've been hearing about. I think with what is happening in the US it's pretty f***ing dumb to have bars open. Clearly this is not working.

Looking at who's going to be leading for the next four years, either side, I doubt it...I don't think see how they can even contain COVID within the year.

Was at the CLSC this morning for a blood draw, felt kinda odd being the only one without a mask. They never said anything at the entrance, but the nurse with the needle gave me a lecture on the benefits of wearing one.

We need two new provinces. To make Per happy, Washington and Oregon.
Maybe Vermont could be annexed to Quebec? Ontario can have New-York.

I wouldn't risk going into any health center/clinic without a mask. You got some cojones on ya!

Quebec :
- 100 new cases
- 2 new deaths (+1 retroactively from July 2)
- 9 more hospitalized...
- 3 less ICU

Montreal :
- 32 new cases
- 0 new deaths

Cases are slowly rising. I find the 9 more hospitalized a little alarming...

Good thing it didn't went up from yesterday.

Good thing it didn't went up from yesterday.

And it seems they really increased the number of tests too, so it's encouraging.

How New Zealand went 'hard and early' to beat Covid-19

Early border closures and lockdowns, no mention of widespread masking used in stopping the spread.

When this first started my far out prediction is that the US would split up into a few smaller countries. Now I am really starting to think it might happen. It might actually be for the best. The states in New England are pretty distinct culturally, socially, economically, they can be their own country, they don't really get as much as they put in to the country. Ditto with California.



They will, but it will be different I think.

CA, OR and WA could be one, eastern parts of OR and WA can join the "Militia States with ID, MT, UT, WY. New England as someone has mentioned.

Best name if only WA and OR becomes one, Columbia due to the might border river.

Of course, the comments are full of f***ing dingbat conspiracy loons.

As much as I am one of the voices here that preach great caution, that graph is not too bad.... yet. It is still a plateau. The next 7 days will tell.

As someone who's lived through a country being broken apart I do not think it is ever a good idea. There ought to be ways of working your differences out without going that extreme.

Back in 1990 we experienced horrible acts of war (yes, tanks rolling down my street), racial and social injustices, a wave of violence that led us to abandoning our apartment and all of our belongings in Tbilisi, Georgia and flee to Moscow area. We only took one single suitcase with memorable things, passports and a little money we had saved.

The idea might be sound in principle, but the transitional period is going to affect and even cost many their lives.

Well, I am of course hoping for a peaceful separation. I just think there is too much of a divide in the US, culturally and socially. They have a huge population and it really is split in half. They want different things, believe in the different things, and a lot of them deeply hate each other.

My idea of a peaceful split is to prevent a violent one, which is where we are headed.

The US is going to take a decade or more to really recover from this.

Nah, it took less than 2.5 years to recover from the economic crisis of 2008 and subprime mortgages are now approx 2.5x what they were back then - simply been renamed Non-Prime Loans.

The rate of growth of High Net Individuals will only continue to grow in the US. The middle part of the country is screwed beyond hope but that’s been the case for nearly 40-years. East coast and left coast will recover in due time and be just fine..

Market based economy drives opportunity innovation....we’ll see lots of it over the next 1-year +

I mean.. it's a bit silly to not factor in any context whatsoever. Pretty pointless. It's new Brunswick...theres like 20 people living there and no offense to the NB people...

This in in Oregon, if I would have been in the line exiting, there is no way I could have kept quiet.
