There will be two 9/11s worth of death this week.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

Let's see... 3000 people died on 9/11... about 1000 dead people per day... yep, a little bit more than two 9/11s this week.

All because a republican President was warned months in advance, refused to act and went golfing instead.

Fox News is already preemptively denouncing any post-COVID-19 investigation as a smear-campaign against Trump.

There was a lot of hype from the feds about this week on the news (NBC) last night, which I found disturbing. I guess it is meant to innoculate us to the higher death numbers expected.
