We're the laughing stock of the world right now...

99% of us are more sick of the news than of corona virus.

I'm a carpenter. I have been working 5 max days a month. When I stop by stores to buy gas or food I often see the signs saying masks required. People are not wearing masks. Its horrible. Do we have such a social devide where we can't even be socially responsible? Please wear a mask. Make enough to survive and stay home.

No word on the protesters' at Mount Rushmore inches apart . Bahaha

[joshgirndt]

Why cut off Dr. Adams? You can immediately tell that he wasn't finish saying what he wanted to say just from his vocal tone...

[bigbluezo]

Should have called it the Rushmore protest then it's fine no virus.

[bonajab]

Today, Martin Luther King would be called an "Uncle Tom."

[Ekkie]

The worst excuse for a president this country has ever suffered under.

[kaelanwhittington]

“If you have problem stay home” not that hard.

[mikemarsh]

What about the CHAZ, people weren't social distancing and i never saw a report on that.

[tonito_el_tigre]

“Protests are outside so it doesn’t spread covid!”
*July 4th outdoors event* “THEYRE SPREADING COVID”

[gavincurtis]

Rioters also rioting despite Covid-19 increase...no problem.

[bunnywabbit]

You know Trump is starring up at Mt. Rushmore thinking his face deserves to be up there

[universeofrelaxing]

Wear a mask, social distance & isolate when you can 😷👍, Sending love to u'all and wish u'all the best Americans

[PowderedToastMan]

“We won’t be social distancing” smh the US is the laughingstock of the world

[anabeltoirac]

Why didn't you some time ago criticize the protestes who most didn't wear masks and brought on this spike. Oh yeah, they had a right to legally assemble.

[lucidexistance]

I remember watching something about the US failing at science education and possible future implications and I thought there's no way we can get that stupid. 15 years later and it was faster than predicted.
