The death toll will be 84,000 before nightfall

[malaise]

It is now 83,953.
Fuck these monsters

[doc03]

1. Infection 2020.com has 84528 now. nt

[malaise]

2. Holy Shit

So it could be 85,000 overnight. This is looking like 200,000 by August

[doc03]

6. I don't know why but they always have a few hundred more

than CNN. My county in Ohio population 67000 has 276 up 37% in the last 7 days.

11. Malicious, evil, crippling insanity

You got that right

[orwell]

3. These are the numbers I usually look at...

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Here it says we are almost to 85,000.

The Johns Hopkins site seems to lag. This site is one of their sources.

4. Thanks

Will bookmark that link

5. and Illinois has the highest deaths in the past 24 hours and we had an early shelter at home order

The deplorables are in total freak out mode here

7. My Wife's Stylist...

...has a "Fire Pritzker" sign in the window of her shop.
A guy who lives at the far southwest edge of the township has a sign that reads "Heil Pritzker". This guy is calling a Jewish governor a Nazi.
Yeah, I'd say you're right about freak out mode.

8. 3 months from now - mid August - it will be well over 200,000

because of the GOP and the morons that listen to them

and nobody will want to go to work.

[malaise]

9. That's my prediction as well

This is absolute madness. Just imagine the reactions if a Democratic President were in charge

[Volaris]

14. My prediction is worse than that...

100k by memorial weekend. 250k by july 4th, if everything open back up and stays that way.

Happy Birthday, America.

16. The Grotesque Orange Pustule and his minions have done everything exactly wrong.

This could have been a scary blip in both the economy and loss of life, if handled as Obama handled ebola.

19. We could have matched or bettered Germany, if we had a competent President.

75% of businesses in Germany were able to stay open. The country of 83 million lost around 6700 people to covid19 and is now safely fully opening, with no infection spikes.

Someone here on DU dismissed a comparison with South Korea, but I think the dismissal was wrongheaded. What South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, Indonesia share in common is a mature leader that surrounded himself or herself with competent people and took a strong path of testing and contract tracing to reduce infection levels quickly.

12. Actually, it's less than 30 away from 85,000 now. nt

[malaise]

13. At this rate it wil be close to 100,000 by weekend

[spinbaby]

15. Up to 85,029

100, 000 by next week probably.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. That's PREVENTABLE death toll.

[malaise]

18. Did I just hear that Scarfie is part of the 'hide the numbers' posse?

No surprise, Now for the cover up and hide the guidelines. Lie about the extent of the losses - Chris Hayes is discussing this now

[Crunchy Frog]

20. Don't worry. The numbers will go way down when Trump

succeeds in his plan to make the CDC slash the official count.

Soon we'll have a fatality rate closer to Russia's, and then everything will be great.
