The good news is, coronavirus deaths have been steadily decreasing --- from 1,100 Saturday, to 700 yesterday, to 500 today. This is likely just a temporary respite, and probably the 3-day weekend caused a dip in reporting.
The bad news is, white supremacists are getting bolder with their acts of terrorism. In Kentucky, a group of white supremacists hung Democratic governor Andy Beshear in effigy. And in North Carolina, the husband of the founder of the white supremacist group ReOpenNC said:
"We want to pick up arms? Do we want to kill anybody? Of course not, nobody wants to take lives. We don’t want to kill anybody. But are we willing to kill people, are we willing to lay our lives down? Yes. We have to say yes,"It may be just a coincidence, but North Carolina also happens to have a Democratic governor, Roy Cooper. I'm unable to find any groups hanging GOP governors Larry Hogan of Maryland or Charles Baker of Massachusetts in effigy (although there have been reopen protests in both of those states).
