asking from a non-American perspective here so I don't know what the US is really doing honestly. Despite all the stay-at-home notices, lockdowns and shutdowns of businesses in most states, how in the world are new cases still spreading so rapidly? Or are most people actually not staying at home?

Most countries like Italy, Spain and Korea have already reached their peak in comparison.

As a New Yorker I'm wondering the same thing.

I've seen (substantiated) pics floating around of trains/subways still jam packed. That could be one reason.

I still see lots of people on the roads and parked out in public at nonessential places. Hell, gas stations and liquor stores are still open. Guess where nicotine and alcohol junkies like to go.
Damn if the virus is faster than cars and capable of penetrating them there's no point in even staying home as the virus will just rip my door off the hinges.

Not American but I don't think all states are actually locked down and many that are have huge, stupid loopholes. So they're not distancing all that well. NYC is just so densely populated it's hard to get under control, but they do seem to be bending the curve now. It's also 50 different states fighting with each other and with their incompetent president. The US is a mess.

Because every fucking grocery store is jammed packed.

To just go buy ground beef it will take an hour with how crowed every grocery store is here. And people are so bored that they go just to go.

I guarantee the majority of new cases are people going to the grocery store.

This mostly hit the nail on the head, but I'd like to put a little more emphasis on "people working who shouldn't be." By and large, people are fucking broke in this country and our healthcare system is garbage. I'm 100% sure there are people who have symptoms but don't want to go to a doctor out of fear of getting a massive bill.

Removes the right of Habeas Corpus meaning they remove your right to be brought before a judge and jury. They can place criminal charges on people and detain them without a trial

Less testing
People unwilling to listen to experts
People unwilling to compromise their livelihoods or day to day activities either out of survival, spite or profits
People intentionally spreading it to groups they hate
People who are weaponizing it as a punishment to who slighted them in anyway

So yeah, stupid, selfish and spiteful makes for a bad country

If you consider covid an "invasion", maybe.

Even then, 1st amendment's "assembly" clause very strongly opposes lockdown.

i had to start wearing a mask whenever i went to the store. especially be extra vigilant about being around someone hacking up a wicked cough. going in the morning does help in the crowds though only go shopping once every 3-4 days (no car means more trips).

It means they can enforce it as your rights no longer are active. Under normal circumstances they cannot make you stay home unless you've been charged and sentenced to house arrest. With Habeas Corpus removed there is no trial.

It's such a big country that some states are further ahead in the curve. New York is the worst clearly, but their rate of new hospitalization is going down. Other states though are earlier on and still have growing epidemics so the overall numbers stay high.

This country is trash though overall. We elected a moron, have tons of people with no healthcare, and a poor social safety net that discourages people from listening to the government.
