Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhat would we be willing to do if we could save, say, a million Americans from
death by virus? Is this not the question we are now trying to avoid answering?
Is it not overwhelmingly obvious at this point that Donald Trump's outrageous decisions are killing people---"on Fifth Avenue" and elsewhere?
How long will we contain our anger? How long will we use "respect for the office" as an excuse to do nothing except whine on line?
The "center WILL not hold". Things ARE "falling apart".
Maybe, just maybe. It is time to abandon the comfort of "the way things have always been done".

We will, however, have our mini-revolution in November. Then, we shall see what we see.

(15,124 posts)did not provide a link re: the "walk back", but that's ok. One has only to use Google to find several authorities discussing the possibility of one million-plus American deaths. They are not all "irresponsible".

(13,485 posts)how it compares to the death rate in China which has fairly well stablized at 4 to 4.1% as I calculate it from the stats. Considering their draconian measures to contain the thing that we will never approach, our death rate will assuredly be higher. How does the one million figure compare? I purposly don't want to read the link, I'd rather hear your argument.
