Ah yes. Infection rates are higher than ever across the country, states are breaking records for new cases every day, the president wants to halt testing (and, by extension, contact tracing) to make the numbers look better without actually solving the problem... Clearly, the pandemic has been brought well under control and it's time to start reopening everything instead of continuing to try to slow it down.

Tired of stuff being closed? That's what happens when half the country insist on throwing a tantrum instead of listening to public health recommendations that have worked just fine in dozens of other countries. Now they get to safely reopen and the US doesn't. Cause, meet effect.

Pretty sure "half the country" wasn't at those BLM protests. Probably wasn't even 5% of the country, so that's a lame excuse. Meanwhile the country has been shut down for months and, as we've seen from BLM protests, there's been literally no reason to shut it down at all since it's perfectly safe for the protests which have zero social distance and many people aren't even wearing cloth masks.
