It'll be back
"Just a reminder in case you haven’t absorbed enough bad news over the past few weeks: epidemiologists expect COVID-19 to return in the fall even if we successfully stamp out the current outbreak by the end of spring. This means that after a few months of respite, we will be adopting social distancing measures again later this year."
Not to put too fine a point on it, this will certainly be true by November. The Wisconsin GOP is already fighting against an extended deadline for mail-in ballots for next Tuesday's election and they adjourned without taking up the governors request to delay the election for public health reasons. In red states, if you want to vote, you'd better be wearing full body PPE.
From the comment section:
"In late October and into the first week of November there will be a spike in reported cases in every urban centre in the US, particularly in swing states. That, of course, will depress voter turnout where population is densest and Democratic supporters are most numerous. At the same time, there will be the usual over-supply of voting machines and polling places for the more rural and more Republican-friendly districts.
That's how the 2020 election will be stolen. Public health will be used as a pretext to suppress voting in urban areas. And that is why Republicans will torpedo every single proposal to expand vote-by-mail."
