It could have been stopped. I was in the Bucky student section when they beat Penn State go to the Rose Bowl. Once it became obvious they were going to win security swarmed the area - every aisle of the student section and in front of it. Nobody rushed the field. Here, we're talking about ND, a school that already shut down due to COVID and whose President tested positive after the ACB superspreader event, drawing the ire of students. This one is on the administration.
Yep. Between Trump golfing nonstop and Pence escaping to Sanibel, it's business as usual in this Administration. Nothing but bluster and hyperbole.

Interestingly, apparently Sweden’s constitution guarantees freedom of movement, which it was felt prohibited a lockdown. Also, apparently it provides that the politicians do not direct the response, but all recommendations come from the relevant agency. They did move secondary schools and universities to remote learning. And in some areas they are moving towards more restrictions now, as their numbers are climbing. Not necessarily here, but I have seen in other internet postings the belief that Sweden took no action at all, and that everything is fine.

I saw a graph somewhere the other day that showed our current hospitalizations (approximately 60,000 hospitalized) which estimated that by Christmas we will have about 230,000 people hospitalized. Once it starts going up, it goes up fast.
