US passes 100,000

According the mid-day update, the US has now had more than 100,000 deaths from COVID-19.

This DOES NOT please me in the least.

Upside- daily new deaths and daily new cases flat or trending down.
Downside- several jurisdictions opening up, maybe prematurely, might change the graphs in days to come.

This is very sad. Although I am a Brit and separated from America by a very large ocean, it is distressing to see what a state the U.S. has got itself in to, particularly as there is no clear end in sight. I hope you all pull through, ideally sooner rather than later.

We're not a bunch of crazy commies, so we'll do fine, but thanks anyway.

Always look at the glass half full but I do share your reservations for the second half of your statement above.

I don't see a lot of social distancing, tbh.

We're turning it around but we need to tiptoe very carefully and focus on lessons learned re. what works and what doesn't.

Ending Reconstruction so soon was a mistake.

It probably passed 100K in the wee hrs today. It did not please you and many others, me included. But it certainly did not impress Trump one bit. Dems had to beg and bother him to lower the flag to half-mast. Reps said nothing.

Probably more like weeks to come.

And if this virus hasn’t mutated out by now, it may come like a wave.

And it will strike areas that have not been touched, at least not hard, yet.

They wrote a letter... and who cares if the flag is at half-mast or not in the first place?

Sure it does, otherwise you wouldn't be starting a thread about it.

I mean, we never see you starting threads about Canada's climbing infection and death rates.

As of 2017 hrs GMT, Canada has 903 new known infections.

Trump was busy tweeting conspiracies about Joe Scarborough being a murderer to be concerned about the nearly 100,000 Americans that lost their lives to a virus to which he doesn't want to seem to prevent by simply wearing a mask and telling his subordinates that "it's cool to wear a mask, be cool like me and wear one." That's all he has to say and people would all be wearing masks.

That's because it's a stupid political game to the Democrsts.

but you have to remember if we had a president who did NOTHING (as if that dark fantasy were even possible) Trump says he acted comparatively early and spared us a million or more deaths. That thought is so deluded and a denial of reality that it reveals a deep mental illness that Trump labors with.

A portion of a day’s numbers is irrelevant. At least look at one day! Yesterday Canada had 1 thousand new infections the US had 20 thousand. Canada’s death rate per million during the entire pandemic is 176, ours is 303. Both are climbing but our rate is far worse. 67% of the US cases are still active while only 40% of Canada’s are so we are not as far along in terms of people recovering as they are. A larger percentage of our people are still sick so we will continue to increase our count of deaths faster than them.

Why did you feel the need to write that these deaths don't please you?

Why did you feel the need to start this thread?

The US has more people. 10x more. Of course we're going to have more infections.

Well, if you dont like that, you’ll hate this.

One of the better modelers has just put out its projections for deaths by September.

It’s about 200,000.

In other words, were are halfway there, with an expectation that more than 1000 per day will die for the next three months.

Of course, that will only be the start, because then, in flu season, with schools starting, etc, we should get another spike.

And the damned thing is.... a lot of this was avoidable with even a borderline competent government, much less thenightmare we have in the WH, who TO THIS DAY - still do not have a written plan to deal with this.
 
As many died of COVID19 as died in WWI.

I agree, since they have a Leader just as ****ing stupid as the Bolsonaro Bros —> Donald, Xi, Jair, Vladimir, BoJo —

Is your Xtry stupid enough to debate wearing a mask and social distancing. I count 11 out of 26 GOP governors who are responsible.

Does your Xtry have a leader who has a Trumpocalypse CT each new day,
