But by my calculations that would be an average of 1800 deaths a day give or take for almost 6 months. I want to say that’s unlikely but the way this country is treating it now and with no national plan I can’t say it’s not possible. Other countries are all below 500 a day now, meanwhile we haven’t been below a thousand a day for weeks.

Hell - the USA has been poking the two other major nuclear powers, Russia and China for decades . . .

Now, as the USA's behaviour has pushed China and Russia closer and closer together towards a military alliance,

during an international pandemic, the USA INCREASES pressure on them?

BAD IDEA!

imo
