Meanwhile U S is paying a yuuuge Trump tax as we approach 2,000 deaths today

If I remember correctly we went from 11 million cases to 12 million since Sunday. We need to keep this on the news along with all the other shit. I feel this is strongest point to use in Georgia election. My calling today leads me to believe this is still very important to Georgians.

Probably closer to 30-36 million total exposures (or more)...
And yet that is barely 10% of the total population.

If we are on pace to lose another 50,000 people in the next 3 weeks, we may be on an overall pace to lose somewhere between 1 and 3 million people in all....and that horror is before you add in the mental anguish of everyone in the industry being worked to death under extraordinary stress every day or the people who have lost loved ones to non-COVID injuries and illnesses but because of the virus lost them the same way - loved ones dying alone, survivors enmeshed in pain and guilt and holes in their hearts...

This is the single greatest crime against humanity since at least Pol Pot and the killing fields but regardless is traceable in the USA to the inaction of one single jackass. I hope he rots in hell...

If you tell them the truth it doesn't register without actual numbers to look at. So many deaths are being reclassified. 61 of Mi. today were reclassified by testing. I've always known there is a huge undercount.
