As per MSNBC last night we could very well be @ 1,000,000 new cases per day very soon.

Dr. Fauci said that 100,000 new cases per day is a very real possibility and then another
expert* said that according to the CDC the real # is more than likely 10 times that amount
so we could be looking @ 1,000,000 new cases of C-19 per day.


* Sorry I didn't catch his name he was on Brian Williams show.

So thanx to Trump and company we now are all in one of 2 groups:

1) Those of us that have the virus or had the disease.

2) Those of us that will get the virus.


The surge is occurring because America reopened before COVID-19 was contained.

Even Italy–not always known for the effectiveness of its leaders or the pliability of its citizens–has contained the virus and is reopening without a resurgence.

Access to timely testing is the primary barrier to this information...Waiting in line 6-8 hours while many are sick...Many can't get to a testing site...Oh, I believe we have an out-of-control virus that has successfully infested America...
