(THREAD) Two days ago, New Hampshire had about the same number of new COVID-19 infections as the nation of Iraq. New Hampshire has a population of 1.2 million; Iraq's population is 38.4 million. But you can go outside in New Hampshire and easily find folks who don't "get it" yet.
1/ I'm not actually a pessimistic person. It takes an incredibly dire situationālike this presidency or this global pandemicāfor me to be a pessimist. But I'm increasingly *severely* pessimistic about the course of this pandemic in the United States. And I think with good reason.
2/ With a dangerous presidency, the math is clear. If you have a majority of the House and two-thirds of the Senate, you can remove a dangerous president via impeachment. If you have a plurality of voters, you can remove a president via a national election.

PS/ Reopening also *implicitly* assumesāsimply as a matter of mechanicsāthat everyone in a reopened jurisdiction *will*:
1ļøā£ Keep socially distancing (10+ feet).
2ļøā£ Wear a face mask.
3ļøā£ Understand that no location is "safe" until the location achieves #3TV (#3T *plus* a vaccine).

NOTE/ Any local, state, or federal official who supports widespread social contact in the absence of #3T is basing their decision on something other than public safety.
The *most* that could be said is that such an official *may* have ensured local hospitals have available beds.
