It was also nice getting a $1200 check in the mail just for being American.

Don't worry. The Donald is going to sort all of this out for you, just don't check the statistics or the polls. Best just stick with Fox News although even they have began to turn. YouTube is probably your best bet at this point. Trust the algorithm.

Trump has actually handled it quite well, but when the other side wants America to fail at all costs during an election year, even he can’t do it all himself.

Yes, a truly solid and coordinated national response ... which is sarcasm. I got here mid June and am thankful to have left the shit show back home as there is no end in sight at this point.

Yessir, young Michael Vickery online or John Bingham , I'm speaking to my own shadows again re: other news than CNN for the other than American populations out there, but the ubiquity of CNN is there in airports and hotels. Can you tell me how some of the bigger news outlets treated the recent police killing of George Floyd? I hope BBC Al Jazeera did the matter a much fairer treatment than the tiny bit i endured from CNN mostly {maybe a pm or new thread here cuz we are not in step with KFH's well directed post}

CNN was a gamechanger I got to grow up with and its hard to accept what a tragic bloody mess its become now.

Thank you very much for a much needed coffee break laugh. Still reeling.

I got regular amusement from talking to my friends and family in the US while I was in Cambodia. As others have experienced, the funny "worry" they expressed for Me, while they're sitting there with both high numbers of covid cases and protests around the country. So silly.

I think the most interesting thing that happened to me, which actually did make me slightly hesitant about being in Cambodia, was when I went to a clinic to see a doctor and got turned away because I was white. They wouldn't see me or even let me in the door. That made me wonder if I should bail and head home asap. The next one I went to happily saw me, and then sent me on to another clinic for testing, and they happily saw me too. Hopefully it was just that one clinic that was discriminating.

Could you please clarify which "people" you're referring to?

(Not sure what this has to do with COVID-19, but a musical interlude is probably called for.)

That's what I assumed too. I just felt I should clarify before commenting. I'm kinda surprised someone would have the guts to blatantly say they thought the US would be better off without black people. Pretty ballsy even for the more blatant of racists.
