Apart from team sports.

You lot suck at team sports.
We win the WORLD Series every year.
And our NFL teams are always WORLD champs.
And when we started letting pros play basketball it was pretty embarrassing for the rest of the world.

And don't hit me with soccer. Nobody gives a fuck about soccer. Except for female soccer. They are attractive and kick everyone's ass and don't fake injuries.

Nah. That curve is gonna flatten for the US of A.
I'd like to see a ratio of cases to GDP. Got that one?
Gross Domestic Product?
NNoo...I don't think I've seen that, but I'm all for stats!

As far as flattening the curve, for the U.S. as a whole, that's just not gonna stop until after Summer, probably June.
What we're seeing now is the folks who were asymptomatic from 2-3 weeks ago, so we've got a solid 3 weeks of devastating news ahead of us.
Primarily this is because whatever happens in large cities, Americans just won't mask up until their town has an outbreak.
Hell I'm in ground zero literally and there are idiots still just walking around like nothing, no masks, windows down, smoking...
They are the walking dead and don't know it.
The curve will not flatten until late April to mid June, but the other large population centers like Los Angeles and Houston and so on have not had their turn, so even if it flattens for earlier cities, the numbers in the U.S. as a whole will remain high for a solid month+.
That's just the way this goes.

I'll take mid to late April. Americans like to work. Eventually people are going to be like Ivan Drago:

Besides Spain and Italy getting obliterated, per capita the Netherlands is getting bombarded, and Portugal is about to see a Spain-like smashing. Sad.
Eventually I'm sure the U.S.A. will end up on top.
Many still are skeptical. This kind of stuff doesn't happen in the US right? And yes, The Netherlands is getting fucked right about now...

660,000 global cases of positive infections. US makes up over 1/5th at 121,000.

31,000 global deaths. US has 2,000 deaths. Forgot the point I was trying to make. I'm gonna have another scotch, math hurts my head.

I don't understand why the governors are so terrified of a covid outbreak in their prisons.

Riots.
It's already happened in one prison and 24 died.
Jails is one thing, in prison however the prisoners will tear guards apart if they're not showing compassion.
Prisons are already terrible with this. If a guard gets it it's over.

Not being funny but if those gubmint cheques don't hit peoples accounts in the next week or so there will be mass lootings. Over here and in the States
