it has jumped by 2^5 times approximately.
Which means in 2 more weeks we will be lookin at between 250,000 and 500,000 dead.

That is really scary - probably a lot of doctors and nurses in there.

Going to blow by Obama's numbers for H1N1 in a day or two.

This was the measure that they asked for so I say we hold them to it. Every day after that, someone should ask him what Obama did better than him and why he is such a failure.
