They look like the free skins you get for buying a Division expansion.

I've had the urge to reinstall that the last few days. I thought pandemic-ravaged NYC was unsettling at the time, I'm sure it'll only be weirder now.

Bunch of fucking galaxy brains over there. Hard to breathe through the mask? Here's a solution...

In San Antionio, Texas, a city of 1.53 million people, nearly 3,000 people went to the cinema over the weekend. That sounds like a lot even before the coronavirus.

I wonder how many wore masks, and, of those who did, how many kept them on throughout the film.

Meanwhile, the Treasury Secretary appears to have encouraged people to go on "road trips": https://www.salon.com/2020/05/04/steven-mnuchin-claims-its-a-great-time-for-people-to-explore-america-as-cdc-warns-against-travel/

Didn't know whether to put this in here or the 'Worst Responses' thread:

Three family members charged in shooting death of security guard who told a customer to put on a face mask
Familty Dollar security guard Calvin Munerlyn, 43 and a father of nine, was shot in the back of the head in an altercation with three members of a family after requesting that their daughter put on a state-mandated face mask before entering the store in Flint, Michigan.

That open carry stuff is ridiculous because presumably murder is still illegal in those states so it isn't like they are going to use those guns

They are for hunting deer! Although it's not deer season so they should be arrested. Hunting squirrels?

When I see a group of twenty burly American men with rapid fire rifles1 in a city centre, I can only presume that they're out legitimately searching for an entire herd of deer to destroy in a matter of seconds. There won't be anything left to eat, no, but hunting isn't about sissy things like nutrition and sustenance.

Trump's in Arizona for a campaign event, surprised he has time to do that with tens of thousands dead from a virus. The coronavirus taskforce may be disbanded, despite the issue nowhere near being solved.

It's a state issue now like slavery.

I NEED A FUCKIN HAIRCUT GODDAMNIT

Georgia now seeing a growing outbreak 5 days after opening up: https://www.wabe.org/kemp-warns-of-growing-outbreak-stressing-northeast-georgia/

In Texas, hairdressers and gyms will open this month: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-governor-greg-abbott-hair-salons-gyms-reopen-may-coronavirus/

Kemp and Abbott should resign. Businesses such as gyms, hairdressers and tattoo parlours should not open for months and even then they will need social distancing and PPE.

These examples should show the UK what happens if the lockdown is lifted early and if it is lifted in the wrong order.

Now what chance of convincing Bojo the Bozo and his cronies of this by Sunday lunchtime?

Oh FFS, I hope they're paying attention.  But I reckon their love of money will be stronger than any feelings of compassion or logic.
Fuck that I'm staying in for the rest of the year, I'm happy staying inside and watching the world burn.

I'm not sure if it was intentional but I can't see this thread title without thinking of the song "Sextown U.S.A." by Sparks and getting it stuck in my head for hours.

Never heard of it but I will check it out so I can also sing along.

Madness.

For every theoretical argument about the hypothetical 'good guy with a gun', I see dozens of real-life stories about innocent people being shot for stupid reasons.

Since shootings are an intrinsic part of US culture, there might have been enough incidents now to warrant a depressing 'Shootings in the time of COVID' thread.

2,909 people died from covid across the US on May 2nd. Doesn't seem to have stopped states reopening.

That is TOP TRUMPS DESOLATION there

Do Trump's actions put people in the UK at risk by making our government's response look less bad by comparison?
