"1,000 of you will be dead in 2-4 weeks. You just don't know it yet."

The most powerful tweet I've seen about Covid. It will send a chill up your spine. And it's true.

19. That was my reaction as well

[OLDMDDEM]

2. Chilling!!

I cannot impress enough on all of you to stay safe and keep your family safe. ALWAYS wear a mask if you have to go out. My wife and I are in our mid to late 70s and fear for each member of our family. As I read thru the different readings for today, I take note that we are "winning." We are #1 and this sickening excuse for a human being is out, as is his second in command, making light of the virus. May they rot in hell.

7. May they rot in jail.

Trump/Pence for Jail 2021.

3. Do 1/70th die?

Will 1/70th die? That doesn’t seem right.

Maybe 1/70th will have permanent damage, but die?

[central scrutinizer]

4. 2.6% fatality of those testing positive is the current rate

Assuming he is referring to 70,000 positive tests. Not 70,000 random individuals.

So seems reasonable. And of course, more will have permanent lung, heart, kidney damage.

[hatrack]

8. Which would be about 1,800 - so the Tweet's somewhat optimistic

.

[MoonchildCA]

12. That's only about 1.4%.

Chances are that it is actually higher.

[My Pet Orangutan]

22. More will die in the fifth week, and beyond.

Herman Cain lasted for 6 weeks after Tulsa,

[lagomorph777]

5. I thought that was from Trump's rally speech.

He would say it, cackling with glee.

6. Some of you might die, but this is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

9. Herman Cain didn't believe it either.

Oops!

14. If there's a rightous god...

Mark Meadows will be one of the daily 1,000. News of that would give me a wry smile as I go about my business.

15. We're about to see a COVID explosion

Cases are spiking in nearly every state. Hospitals, especially in more rural states, are about to be overrun. As we saw in the early days of COVID, when hospitals got overrun, the death percentage was higher because people who needed treatment didn't get it. So many people, even on our side, are truly naive about how bad this wave of COVID is going to be. We will double the current U.S death toll. Easily.

[Evolve Dammit]

16. As the post states: "It didn't have to be this way." FU Orange Boy and all your family too.

[Roc2020]

18. True. And most will die because the heads of government

Trump and his posse mainly played politics with a killer and didn't take the threat seriously. It's actually very enraging and Prison should be on the table

20. "It took a nipponized bit of the old sixth avenue el in the top of his head..."

"...to tell him."

21. Scientists have been warning America for months

CNN Hosts Visibly Unnerved after Hearing Doctor's Bleak New Projections
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/10/cnn-hosts-visibly-unnerved-after-hearing-doctors-bleak-new-projections/


The infectious disease expert, Dr. Peter Hotez, appeared on CNN last week. He stated that the next three months were likely to be absolutely horrific when it comes to Americans' health and well being. "As bad as it's been, it's about to get worse," he said. "And that's based on projections about a fall/winter surge as people are indoors more . . . some of the projections are just awful. We could be looking at a doubling of the number of deaths a week before the Inauguration. This is tough stuff."

Hotez said the problem could get worse if Trump loses the election and then gives up even pretending to care about the virus.

"They haven't really been very involved in creating a national response to begin with. I can only imagine what it's like during that lame-duck session."

"So people are going to feel abandoned. They're going to feel on their own in what is going to be one of the darkest chapters in modern American history."

"It's morphing into a homeland security crisis as people will be afraid for their lives."

23. What would Trump giving up even pretending about the virus look like?

How could we tell the difference?

24. "Why did the president knowingly mislead America about the coronavirus threat?"
