At this rate, we will easily be at 200k by election day, if not worse.

And to think of how this country reacted over 9/11 with under 3,000 dead. Not that 9/11 was any less tragic or horrifying, but just by pure scale of preventable deaths, this is a disaster of epic proportions.

Yet there are still so many out there who are not taking it seriously. What will it take to wake people up?
