    Ah, I see. That figure is coming off a very low base. But, I tells ya, I still do not believe it.

    Down here, we are in recession (because of the nasty), no other Country I know of is boasting such a growth in GDP while it is still in the grips of the nasty, as the USA is. You know as well as I do that the nasty stats are getting worse every day in the USA.

    Hypothetical.

    There are 762,062 North Dakotans. That means 5.4% of North Dakota's entire population has tested positive so far.

    I can read whole encyclopedias about Australia. I would never claim to know more about the place than somebody that actually lives there though. Judging by your regular comments here, I seriously have to question your source material about the United States of America.

    Simple. My source material is Donald J. Trump, the bloke you will vote for despite all the evidence, and come post Nov 3rd, you will be eating humble pie or crow...or screaming that you have been robbed, while you eat it.

    Next week is gonna be fantastic and after that, will be even more entertaining and will provide observers with more material of how totally fuqqed Trump has reduced the USA to.

    So why are areas of ND shutting down and masking up?

    Why are deaths up?

    You're sounding like a Trumpist

    Are you President Trump hater? From the graph you quoted it looks that the growth was started in 2009 - by Obama and Biden Crime Family:

    99.9999+% of Americans also recovered from 9/11. Did that mean nothing should have been done about it?

    Infections have tripled in a month in ND. Have tests tripled?

    THAT'S the comparison?

    What is Joe Biden going to do to stop hospitalizations and deaths? Give me ABSOLUTE FACTS as to how the candidate, who claims he will STOP THE VIRUS (quoted yesterday on the campaign trail), will make a differenced in hospitalizations and deaths without destroying our economy and our way of life? He surely isn't going to simply do that with masks because I am seeing better than 95% of the population wearing masks, regardless of what the liberals claim.

    What is the hero (I mean zero) going to do for me to defeat the virus and return my life to normal that the current administration isn't already doing?

    Not one damn thing! We all know it, but some just refuse to see the mine field that is covered in daisies for what it really is. DEATH of a nation!

    So what you are saying is to get a massive GD boom we had to have our worst GDP decline ever? And that’s somehow a win?

    It sounds more like you want to SACRIFICE the elderly...not protect them

    If you wanted to protect them you would be championing testing, tracing, masks, isolation/quarantine where necessary.

    But you're not.

    You're promoting the opposite...aren't you....

    That is you putting words into my mouth. I've advocated CONSTANTLY for protecting those at higher risk. You can protect those of high risk WITHOUT destroying the economy.

    The great majority of our society is NOT at risk of dying from COVID, yet, you are willing to sacrifice the entire economy to protect us all when the great majority do not need protecting.

    And how exactly would you do that?

    By letting the virus run rampant and locking away those at risk...for...how long?
