Well, we did get you back at Baltimore, where that famous Star Spangled Banner was written.
It is rather interesting how this is developing. With all the COVID-19 lockdowns and people getting restless and stir crazy, something like this happens, and boom! It's all over the country.
We'll probably be living under martial law by the time of the election.

What? Me worry?
Funny -- I'm just in Baltimore right now, watching "Hairspray" with Harvey Fierstein. Great musical
That's all you see, isn't it?

Do you have source for that? I thought I had also read that people took advantage of desolate lord's manors and stuff as well, so there may have been people that weren't exactly acting in a 'socially perfect' way

Except we have vaccines for flu. We don't for this, so EVERYONE is susceptible. Apply a typical flu fatality rate to 331 million people and see how many could die from this. It is in the hundreds of thousands.
I am on my phone but you can just search stuff like this,
Plague-Infested Village's Poignant Self-Quarantine Story That Stopped the Plague of 1666
We were taught it at school iirc.

Not all areas are like that. Here in my corner of the country, we have a different problem related to COVID 19. (King County is where Seattle is located, where the majority of the COVID 19 cases are in the state.)
Masks and gloves getting flushed down toilets, clogging King County pipes
Around here, people are careful....masks, social distancing.
One exception though....liquor stores are 70% no masks.
People get'n their drink on are also get'n their plague on.

Sad, because the daily deaths have been trending downward since about early May.
None of us anywhere want to live a "bubble life". Most of us realize that we owe it to ourselves, our neighbors, the country and the world to act responsibly and not just callously not care if another 100,000 or many more die as long as we can get our selfish way assuming it won't be us or our family or friends who pay for our actions.
Christians understand that because they try to follow what is in the Sermon on the Mount and the 2nd greatest commandment.

The bubble life is temporary. Death is not.

This group has MANY who have been selfishly pushing to be allowed to congregare for many weeks now, many if them doing it anyways. And this is definitely a group with the amnesia Newsome was talking about.

Exaclty. We pick up the pieces and rebuild after a disaster. This should be no different. But it's different because so many don't even want to acknowledge a disaster is happened and is on going.
I do fully anticipate lockdowns to be reinstated no later than July. Ill be surprised if we make it through June without.
I have some legitimate studies for my state: social distancing has cut the number of flu deaths down to 103 so far this year in Washington state from 225 this date in 2019, 283 from this date in 2018, and 274 from this date in 2017.
So far there have been 1,111 deaths from COVID 19 in this state, which is more than 10 times the death rate for the flu.

Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Well a riot that doesn't practice social distancing and proper PPE.....
Well then again, maybe a few might be wearing masks still.
Have been to Eyam - a local pub I think - when I was caving in Derbyshire regularly. We all wore masks of course.
