      Maybe so. But standardization of information, better recognition of symptoms, an understanding of how reinfection works, another series of openings/closings, supply chain of PPE being prioritized, and the public's general resignation to the virus rather than trying to recreate 'normality' may be steadying factors going forward. Further, as more people die, more people (not a lot, but more) will then be aware of deaths via less degrees of separation, and start to take things more seriously.

      ... Though any storms/wildfires will probably fuck that number, plus the riots after the election. Well, if we do hit 600,000 earlier than September, make sure to post the "REVERSI YOU LOST THE BET BRO 0 FOR 1 BRO DAMN" in main.

        They won't.

        People here don't take it seriously. The government refused to take responsibility and instead consent has been manufactured for just ignoring the damn things.
