all his fucking enablers (yes, talking to massacre mitch and company here). May they never have a minute of respite from the dead.

Meanwhile in April it's more likely before months end?

They lowered the estimation to 60K dying this year. Now just two weeks later it looks like we could easily exceed that!

Sure seems like an admission that they're making nothing more than best guesses.

Over 58,000.

Or, to put it into terms that the Reich-wing understands... about 14,500 Benghazis.

Congrats to all the enablers who allowed this to happen and are continuing to allow it. Thanks Mitch, Barr, Lindsey, and pals. You guys are doing a great job running (or ruining) the country...into the ground that is. You're reaching your goal of killing and bankrupting the country and in record time no less..woohoo!

It bugs me to no end that authorities, and not just Trump the Foolish, act like the pandemic is almost over. Just a couple more weeks and we can get back to normal! Angela Merkel got it right. We're at the beginning. This disease will be with us a long, long time. And we won't be going back to the old normal ever. We will have to find a new normal.

Compare to South Korea, which discovered their first case on the same day the U.S. discovered our first case.

Almost all of those deaths, that misery, the survivors' grief, could have been avoided if not for greed, stupidity, ignorance, callousness on the part of Trump, the GOP, and their propaganda machine. How did they get to be so power-mad?

I'll stop. Not even sure I'm being coherent.

Approximately 58,000 died in the Vietnam war, we’ll go cruising past that before May 1st in all likelihood.
