No, things aren’t normal at all but your read on the reason is not correct. This is not a conspiracy to take down trump. As for the numbers, you clearly don’t understand how rates of growth work and how small numbers can suddenly become very large. The maddening thing about this will be, if the separation continues and the numbers are able to be suppressed, it will just be more fuel for your conspiracies.
Understand, people like yourself fuel these conspiratorial concepts. The negativity wreaks from your every post. Although, it seems as if you've toned it down a bit. You made a statement that you have the right to criticize the President, and I agreed. But understand that words and statements have consequences, negative or positive. Not many are happy right now, I'm not. But to lay all the blame on Trump is more than ridiculous.
I am doing my part by washing my hands and keeping a reasonable distance from other people. I have a crew coming in on a job tomorrow, if you know anything about construction, it's hard to maintain social distancing. Until the governor shuts it down, I have little choice but to carry on. I am in a wait and see mode. I'll do my part, but I guess we'll see how this turns out. With that said, I'm not buying the "we're going to war", or whatever the conspiracy is.. I still think we're in a panic mode created by the media...
