Am I the only one who cried today?

I knew the 100K was coming, but I just find it so overwhelming. It doesn't help that my boss and his wife think COVID-19 is all a liberal hoax. The people who say it's "just like the flu" just don't get it. COVID-19 is in ADDITION to the flu.

1. Yes, so terrible

[cayugafalls]

2. You are not alone...today was a tiresome day to be sure.

One of the first things I encountered this morning was a comment that this was just like the flu which kills 30-60 thousand people a year...I had to sigh and shake my head because COVID has killed 100K in 3 months WITH SEVERE MITIGATION.

It is not the flu...idiots, all who say that stupid phrase.

3. I have been crying all week

My heart is just heavy

[underpants]

4. Gladly it's slowed.

There were 38 deaths in the US on March 11th.

5. Every time the

timeline appears, I gape. Hard to wrap your head around.

10. It slowed in NY but it seems the red states have started to...

repress the release of accurate reporting of new cases and deaths to bolster their moves to re-open business. And also to curry favor with trump.

12. Lots of meat processing in red states

And they stand shoulder to shoulder.

6. Trump needs to be held accountable - there is no excuse for his response.

7. As if things weren't bad enough then I heard about the murder of the black man in Minneapolis

by 4 policemen in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Thank goodness they recorded it.

That sent me over the edge.

[TexasBushwhacker]

11. Yup, that got me too

Nothing but cold blooded murder.

8. You are not alone. I broke down earlier. Been doing that lots more lately.

[cry baby]

9. Nope.

[lunatica]

13. I cry just about every day at least once

I cry for the deaths. I cry for the memorials. I cry because of the insane cruelty that Trump’s narcissism is forcing on people. I cry for every Black person who is so needlessly killed. I even cry at the stories of heroism and kindness.

14. I cried today because I found out that a very sweet man I knew VERY briefly in

my mid twenties died of CV-19 -- I read the blog his wonderful, magnificent wife kept for almost two months as he battled, and she and his daughter weren't able to see him. Just as it seemed he was slowly improving she wrote yesterday that he passed.
Fuck you and may you rot in hell donald john trump.
