We are like a D-Day every few days in C-19 deaths or a Titanic every few days ...

... or a 9/11 few days in the number of deaths

"The virus is with us, but we need to live with it," said the White House but many of us will not
"just live with it," because we and or our families and or our friends and or our neighbors
and or our coworkers are not "just living with it." When people die of something they are no longer
"just living with it."

D-Day Deaths 2,501

Of the 4,414 Allied deaths on June 6th, 2,501 were Americans and 1,913 were Allies.

Titanic Deaths 1523

9/11 Deaths 2,977

********

I can't find the exact figures but America is @ something like > 600 C-19 deaths per day.

And this is all on Trump and his enablers. This shit should never have happened. This would not have happened
with Sec. of State Hillary Clinton as President.

"The virus is with us, but we need to live with it," is how one official said the administration plans to message on the pandemic.

The peak was mid-April when 2750 were dying a day. Now deaths are in the 200 -300 range.

South Carolina, Texas, Arizona, Nevada and California reported record numbers of current covid-19 hospitalizations. The country’s seven-day average of new deaths fell to 485, down from 562 on June 28, but health experts cautioned that the count of infections would soon drive the number back up.

And even if the younger people live with the virus they can pass it onto older people
or those who are already at risk.

of earlier detection and better treatment which is going to blow up as hospitals are overwhelmed and triage decisions must be made on who is treated and who is sent home to die
