(7,431 posts)Trump the Magic Dragon will wave his wand and the Evil Virus will disappear, and all 80,000 people who died will come back to life. The virus, as the Trumpy said, will go away and magically disappear. ONLY TRUMP CAN DO THIS, because hes a WINNER.
But Trumpy-Boy wont wave his wand until the death count reaches 500 thousand. Trumpy-Boy doesnt want to overuse his mystical powers. One invocation a week should be enough.

(2,193 posts)Data is the most powerful tool and those nations that overcame the threat did it largely by testing and by distancing ASAP.
We are so backward, led by the most backward of all.
Take care!

(2,193 posts)Just as a pneumococcol and meningococcal test would be routine for someone aged 63 with no spleen and other surgeries, the Covid test was recommended as a precaution against infection at a time when our county has few cases but wants to expand testing.

(22,634 posts)1,029,098 with what? What's their status? Still hospitalized? At home recovering? That's a lot of cases without a designation. Such a high number, it makes me worry.
