We'll be at 100,000 dead by the end of May

Probably well before that. And we’ll be seeing the new numbers rising. I’m sure the rethugs are going to try to hide the numbers. But trump will need to revise his target for what he labels as a success. I wonder when and how much he’ll change it so that 150 or 200 thousand will be a success?

Of course medicine and diagnostics were stone age compared to now.
Anything lower than the Spanish Flu will be marked as "success".

has here mask below her nose.

I'm seeing a lot of that with the people working in the stores I go to. I keep on wanting to say something, or maybe ask to speak to a manager, but I haven't done so. At least not yet.

He'll go with happy-talk about a vaccine that will be available (it won't) by the fall, and he'll credit HIMSELF for making it happen. He'll pull off a version of Nixon's "Peace is at Hand" ploy to win re-election in 1972. His victories will always occur AFTER his suckers vote for him. Oh... and there won't a victory after the election. But that's how con artists work, and that's what we'll have if Trumpy can get beyond 42% approval.

How will he celebrate? Golf?

He will rank right up there with WWI, WWII and the Civil War for causing death in America in much shorter times. He will far surpass smoking and drinking and cars as killers, even guns.

And what do those three countries have in common? Each is led by a right wing asshole.
