and by a lot.

Nowhere near the amount Filthy Donnie wants us to believe, and the actual number of deaths will be quite a bit higher than the 60k they are saying, but the spread of the virus is slowing which means the daily deaths should slow in the next couple of weeks.

That's the mitigation talking. The "Stay Home" orders or recommendations. The mask-wearing, the 6-foot physical separation. It's working. But it has to be maintained. And probably for far longer than we'd like. If we let up too soon, the problem will just explode again. It's the discipline. There is NO quick fix. Unfortunately, that's all that Mr. Short-Attention-Span trump ever talks about. He's fixated on "very quickly." And that's not gonna work, here. Especially if you don't want a relapse!

THIS FIX IS GONNA TAKE TIME!!!!

And now, world-wide confirmed cases HAVE hit 1.5 million, and still climbing. YOIKS!
My science-nerd husband has been guessing we'd hit 20-thousand deaths this weekend, probably Sunday. I shared today's trending with him and he said he might have to revise his projections. Twenty-thousand on Saturday.
