Trump's historically disastrous failed Presidency hit another milestone in his legacy of EPIC FAIL

[Snake Plissken]

100 times as many Americans have died from COVID-19 than died on 9/11.

Donald J. Trump on February 26, 2020 ---And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.

1. We had 201,000 new cases yesterday.

30. Oof. That's powerful imagery. nt

3. Criminal negligence.

His inaction, his mismanagement and misappropriation of resources, his token efforts that were self-aggrandizing showmanship over substance, his outright lies, and his intentional determination to undermine the actual science all lead to greater spread and more deaths.

Trump is a horrible human being who deserves to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison and forever looked upon with scorn and disdain.

5. I couldn't agree more

this man is a menace to society! He’s needs bars!!!

6. Hey you! Hope you're feeling a little better. I know it takes time.

13. I'm trying with everything I've

got inside me. I’ll get by with a little help from my friends!
Expecting a new kitten in December hoping that helps me some.
Hope you guys are doing ok!

16. After all that, his Deplorables voted for 4 more yrs of death and financial ruin.

Brilliant!

4. So much winning.....

8. He is an unrepentant criminal

Who must be held accountable for his heinous crimes.

9. If current trends continue there will be a 9/11's worth of deaths daily. This also has

This also has the effect of putting 9/11 in a truer perspective on a scale of calamities.

22. The Data Suggest Otherwise

We're far into record case numbers, but daily deaths were higher in April & early May.
The % of deaths per confirmed case is dramatically lower.
In April & May, for 5-6 weeks we averaged ~30,000 cases/day. But over that same timeframe (with a +5 day lag), daily deaths were ~2,000/day.
Over the past 5-6 weeks, we've gone from 60,000 to about 200,000 cases per day. But, the deaths per day is only around 1,050 using the same death lag.
There are 3 or 4 significant reasons for this depression in deaths per case.
I'm not suggesting any wonderful news, just that it's hardly a sure thing we'll be hitting 3,000 deaths per day.
Over a thousand a day is bad enough to keep reminding people how badly this was botched.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

26. Yes, but data SAYS deaths are rising NOW. That's the TREND now

What happened in April and May is not part of the current trend.

The new cases now are rising way out of control. They are doubling every 18 days. So we can expect deaths to double every 18 days too, soon (with more than 5 day lag).

We are already 2/3 of the way to breaking the April death rate record.

We are already half way to breaking 9/11 (1481 daily on 7 day trailing average). So, 18-21 days from now, three weeks, I expect there to be a daily 9/11.

It may take a week or two longer. Deaths are doubling about every 4 weeks, technically, on 7 day trailing average, but that is starting from a sort of baseline of a few months. They didn't really get started until about Nov 5, 15 days ago. In the last 3 days, the 7 day trailing average made a sharp move upwards.

It seems to me that the new case rate 7 day trailing took off around 6 weeks ago, and deaths took off about 2 weeks ago. That seems like a 4 week lag. So I think that even if the new case rate began dropping today, deaths will still increase at the current rate for 4 weeks. So I expect at least one doubling in the death rate from current levels. Hence a daily 9/11.

I'm confident, sadly, in that grim prediction because a simple extrapolation of current trends does not take into account limitations of the health system. As case loads double in hospitals, so do ICU loads leading to an extra burden of deaths as ICUs get overwhelmed. ICUs are already badly strained.

Unfortunately, I do not expect the new case rate to flatten for a few weeks at least. Red hatters aren't scared enough yet.

Further, the Thanksgiving Virus Giving may be an extra burden above the current trend.

First Bush (R) with 9/11.
Then tRump (TR) with daily 9/11.

What a Republicon legacy.

27. We Shall See

Obviously, I hope I'm right in seeing your number as an overestimate. Not about me being right, but it means fewer people will die.
The reasons why deaths are growing at a softer slope than cases has much to do with more therapeutic knowledge (although with no magic bullet), the prior reduction in the most vulnerable, and masking reducing viral loading.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Sure, but therapeutic knowledge won't change much in only 3-4 weeks. We both hope I'm wrong. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

29. It Already Has

It's why the death to case ratio continues to descend.
I'm not suggesting something in the next few weeks.
I'm saying it's already a contributing cause the the declining mortality rate.
If cases triple though, the ratio doesn't have a practical impact.
Too many extra dead people is already too many!

10. 'Close to zero' is their baseline. The quarter million is the Trump/Pence personal death count.

20. Yup. We had years of investigation and hours of Congressional testimony.

But this earned him tens of millions of votes

14. Who could have predicted that a reality TV star couldn't run a country?

No words. Half the country makes me physically ill.

15. He is even failing at failing

He won’t leave office without filing frivolous lawsuits and preventing the Biden administration from getting the info needed.

17. Every marble is an American who died from COVID-19. Each second is 6 days.

19. You talking bout me, Willis?

18. Asshole sure has a way with words. If I didn't know he was an asshole I'd have trouble ...

... really understanding that meaningless classic Trumpism. It's such pure confeve.

[Chainfire]

21. The rightist have a several claims about the virus as it relates to Trump

Trump is totally responsible for keeping the numbers of cases down
Trump is not responsible for cases rising
The number of sick and dead are grossly overinflated
It is no more than a cold
It is not the President's job to keep you safe from the virus.
Masks are a liberal political statement
The economy and the virus are independent of each other
Unemployment numbers are to be ignored, the economy is great
It is still mostly a hoax
They will not talk about Clorox or UV light(it was a joke, stupid)
Lockdowns are a socialist tactic to wreck the economy because us liberals hate freedom
Trump is directly responsible for the vaccine for the hoax virus
The issue is going to totally disappear after the election

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Sadly I Agree

The worst is your second to last.
Taking credit for a vaccine against something he said, MULTIPLE TIMES, was no big deal.
The contradiction is lost on them.
