It was like a big quarter pounder and massive plate of steak fries. He didn't finish them.
That was a "kids" meal. Bit bigger than a happy meal.

The colon's important.
Keep feeding him, and he’s gonna keep growing. Mark my words!

California, Texas, Florida, and Arizona are again the big gainers.
This site, which originally predicted, what was it? 60k deaths? And then revised it to 130k deaths recently, well it was just updated again.
Now they are predicting 170k deaths as of Oct 1st.
The scary thing is that they have the curve going upwards on Oct 1st. They're predicting 375 deaths/day August 1st but then 1000 deaths/day Oct 1st (and rising).

Brazil is now the country with the most amount of new cases and deaths each day. They have 775 000 confirmed cases and have reported that they have conducted 1.2 million tests.
It stands to reason that the actual amount of sick people there is much higher than their testing capacity can show.
In Canada new cases and deaths continue to drop. There are now only 32 500 active cases, down from a peak of 35 000.

Knew Brazil would be a basket case back in March. Lebanon falling apart, they tried the lockdown but had other problems and couldn't really afford it.

Research is suggesting that a relatively few "superspreaders" are responsible for most covid-19 transmissions:

Most COVID cases don’t spread virus—it’s the superspreaders we need to stop
Mounting evidence on superspreaders suggests a shift in thinking about social distancing.

(Sorry, I'm not sure if this counts as political, but I'm not making a statement or anything, just giving information to people who aren't aware of this, as it relates to the pandemic.)
So, Trump is starting up rallies again, with crowds of thousands of people, who won't be required to wear masks, and won't social distance. In order to get into these rallies, they have to sign a waiver saying that it is not the Trump campaign's fault if they get Covid-19.

At least they're acknowledging what they're doing.

Yeah. If they want to take on the risk and go, it is their choice really. Just note if you know anyone going, and stay away until the incubation period has past.
In the end, this is what people may have to do, especially if COVID-19 turns out to be here to stay. Try and be responsible (el oh el) and when they cannot be, everyone else around them may have to pick up that slack.
