COVID-19 Update

It's starting to ease up in a big way in NYC - "Like somebody turned off the hose or something"

And President Stoopid will start crowing about this shit pretty soon - "See? I told ya. I said it'd just disappear - like a miracle or something - and there it is - we did a great job ..."

So now the waiting. States are starting to ease the restrictions, and some people are rushing out to play. A coupla weeks from now, and we'll probably see some spikes.

The question is, Will enough of us continue to self-restrict, so the next wave is kept at a manageable level? I guess my default applies here:

HOPEFUL BUT NOT OPTIMISTIC
