How Many are Going to Die Because Trump Surrendered to Coronavirus?
You May Not Want to Know. But the Answer is So, So Much Worse Than You Probably Think.
I have to warn you, don’t read this if you’re already panicked, stressed out, or anxious. It’s one of the most depressing things I think I’ve ever written, and I’m not exactly known for writing cheery missives.
Here’s a bitter truth: Covid is exploding out of control in America. Today was the worst day so far: the daily rate is reaching 70,000 a day. That’s getting perilously close to 100K per day — the number north of which a society will simply begin ceasing to function in basic ways, systems from healthcare to employment to banking breaking down, juddering apart, coming done, stalling and plummeting into freefall.
So. Let’s cut to the chase.
How bad is the wave of death that Donald Trump and his Army of American Idiots have unleashed on America going to be? The answers are staggering. When you do the numbers, what results is too horrific to be believed. And yet there it is, in black and white. The fatal, lethal calculus of a pandemic left to spiral explosively out of control, by an Idiot-in-Chief who encourages people to get the virus, fighting for it — and an Idiot Army who cheers it all on, believing him.
