Trump and Kushner knew of C-19 and the coming pandemic in November of 2019
and what did they do? They looked for ways to make money on the pandemic in-
stead of getting America and the world ready for it.

into any aspect of American life AND discredit everything government does do. That's been a consistent pattern.

I swear, I think Republicans would privatize the courts if they could get away with it. As their next best thing, they just load them up with hard right-wing Rethug appointees.

So that would include fall numbers. So for a year say it is high at 20k. We are working four months and will have easily 115k. But, that would include numbers this fall. If it does kick up a second wave, which is a strong possibility, that will increase the number significantly.

The number of deaths are also probably under-reported by as much as 30%.

the actual number of cases is more likely to be more than 100 times the number of deaths - I would estimate 11 million to 15 million.
