I don’t think people are understanding that states like Arizona literally reopened things like restaurants during their highest rates of infection they’d experience to date … and it only went up from there … they didn’t wait for a decrease.
the state failed to meet what was considered the standard for reopening which was:
14 days of declining positive coronavirus tests.
14 days of declining positive tests as a percentage of total tests done
and now many people have died.
It didn’t happen like some of the european reopenings, or even other US reopenings, where there was a legitimate decline. No. there was no valid decline.
The governor Doug Ducey literally threw the people of Arizona to the fire and then cried “faulty statistics.” When the hospitals were very obviously already overwhelmed when he forced a reopening and Maricopa Country did not want to reopen.
Today we celebrate the mission that piqued our curiosities, and drove NASA’s perseverance to pursue further exploration of the Red Planet.
The Sojourner rover landed on July 4, 1997, after hitching a ride aboard the Mars Pathfinder mission. Its innovative design became the template for future missions. The rover, named after civil rights pioneer Sojourner Truth, outlived its design life 12 times.

If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
