That depends. Are they inspectors with a general portfolio or are they generals with the task of inspecting?

To be fair, I don't think that's supposed to be read as "Yeah all the corrupt ones are staying."

It's just a response to the fact Trump fires so many, he's just going "Yeah I'm not gonna be that guy."

Right, but if all the remaining ones are people Trump appointed specifically to be corrupt, its pretty much a catch-22 situation.

Holy shit the media is stupid.

Hyping up a "second wave" that never materializes is maybe the only thing that could save Trump at this point.

I'm not saying there definitely won't be one.

What I am saying is that if there isn't one, it will make Trump look smart and right. Because they told everyone "there will be one because Trump is dumb."

They don't need to do that. Or they at least should have been smart enough to say "there will be a second wave starting December but no earlier" so that people can't figure out they're lying before the election.

It already has. The curve is flat in basically every US state. States that are re-opening are doing fine.

The wave doesn't end when the curve is flat. It still has to go down before it is over.

And with places opening up that probably wont be soon

If there is one, he will be able to say he warned us. If there isn't, it'll be all because of his visionary policies.

i was confused by muffin's "the first wave has already stopped here" comment.

the netherlands is currently #20 on the list of countries with the most cases and we're still getting between about 100 and 300 new cases each day. the US is #1 and there, the first wave is already completely over? wut?

If they have their biggest day for new cases in the run-up to opening, it means it's not at all safe to open. Shows they're opening before they actually got a handle on things.

Oh totally agree on that one.
The big issue with the US is that not all areas really got hit. Some places shouldn't have locked down, some should've, but this is a regional issue within the state level. So now as the big starting points are becoming okay the smaller ones that always were will start getting hit more.

Edit:
That connects because it means people annoyed with the lockdown before won't put up with it. That's a notable chunk of the desire to open and I don't think Maryland's gonna be an exception there. Just rev the hospitals up.

my country used to be in the top 10 of countries with the most cases.

after the lockdown, we've dropped to #20.

sure, could be a huge coincidence, but it seems preposterous to claim this.
