8. What turnaround will there be? 250,000 deaths instead of the 150,000 now?

The virus is out of control and still there is no national policy to control it. Those death figures aren't going away, just as the virus isn't. 40 million jobs did go away though and most aren't coming back anytime soon.

Meanwhile the repugs are going on August recess soon without approving a continuation of the $600-a-week unemployment benefit for the millions of jobless workers.

And wait until schools re-open and then close again. My money is on Biden.
