Arizona Implements Pool-Crowd Limit Amid COVID-19 Spike; Could Other States Roll Back Reopenings?

Spencer Pinter no one wants to crash and kill the economy. Everyone regardless of party affiliation has their retirement/investments linked to the stock market. You are ridiculous this is being surpressed. My son is a college swimmer. Looking forward, with my husband who is a virologist, we see disturbing trends with this that are not explained simply by increased testing. I want him to swim in fall and enjoy the same wonderful experience he had in Freshman year and a chance at NCAAs. But unless a miracle vaccine appears our numbers (% positive rate) are going to wrong way for fall to be good. So ignore it with the denial game but so far all that has worked for is to get us to a big spike by 4th of July. We need to turn this tide fast.

Val Acosta Mehta – I appreciate your opinion, but I simply posted facts that are in no way difficult to find on the websites for both Worldometer and John Hopkins. Are you denying these facts, or would you prefer just not to hear them? Since it is pretty clear what is going on here, many agree that the majority of the MSM is deliberately spinning and reporting news in a hyper-negative fashion – for mostly political reasons (you know this tends to happen sometimes). Is the following question an unreasonable or ridiculous inquiry? Why not put an emphasis on what is good and what is undeniably the best news out there currently when it comes to COVID-19, a virus that once killed so many on a daily basis? Would it be putting them out of their way to emphasize that in these very dark times total deaths have plummeted from over 2,000 per day to just a few hundred per day in just two short months? For God’s sake, fewer humans are dying at this time. Is that not something extremely newsworthy and worth celebrating during this nightmare of a shit-show we find ourselves in? In my humble opinion, I personally feel that in this particular case, when many are fearing for their lives, under reporting great news in order to perpetuate a narrative is shameful. But… they are private businesses, this is a free country and they can report as they see fit. It is, however, the public’s responsibility to call them out on it when it is glaringly clear what is happening. I would not go so far as to label me as “ridiculous” for pointing this out. Maybe I am overly concerned, but some might also come to the conclusion that you are in a state of denial here when it comes to biased and misleading reporting in the MSM. I truly hope your son can swim this fall. Take care!
