The best way to know how bad it is will be hospital capacity compared to admissions.as the hospitalizations increase with no plans for army corps of engineers MASH type units, we will watch what happened to Italy happen here.

As long as covidiots refuse to wear masks, restaurants are open, and people's stir crazy trumps their fear of dying, then those hospitalizations will get worse and many, many more people will die. This spike continuation will likely make the first 100,000 look small.

And it makes me want to cry to write "the first" when I am talking about so many lives needlessly thrown away over greed, incompetence, and narcissism.
