COVID19 Update - Day 14

US Tests: 344,728
US Cases: 51,970
US Deaths: 675
Worldwide Cases: 417,966
Worldwide Deaths: 18,615

One week ago, the United States accounted for 5,923 confirmed cases out of 197,133 worldwide --- about 3%.

Today, the United States accounts for 12.4% of confirmed cases worldwide.  Which means the virus is spreading here more rapidly than just about anywhere else.

One week ago, the United States accounted for 100 deaths out of 7,905 worldwide, or about 1.27%.

Today, the United States accounts for 3.63% of all COVID19 deaths worldwide.

This is what exponential growth is.  It means things will get much worse before they get better.

And the sub-literate moron who sits in the White House (still!  Despite it being obvious for months that he's incompetent and dangerous) is babbling about opening up the country by Easter --- which is just 19 days away.

The number of confirmed cases in the US has been doubling every 2-3 days.  Which means --- unless we get very lucky and things change --- we can expect 3.2 MILLION confirmed cases by the time Easter gets here (and at least 11,000 deaths).

As usual, Idiot Boy can only ever think about how this affects him:

Usually we’ll have 50 governors that will call it the same time. I think we are doing very well. But it’s a two-way street. They have to treat us well, also. They can’t say, 'Oh, gee, we should get this, we should get that.' We’re doing a great job. 

He's completely oblivious to the fact the he's the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and as such, his job is to PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Not just the people in the red MAGA hats.  Not just the people who treat him well.  Everyone.  No exceptions.

Completely unfit for office.  From day one.

I'm so torqued about this completely self-absorbed and whiny baboon, I can hardly bring myself to talk about the personal side of the pandemic tonight.

And you know what: it doesn't matter.  Nothing interesting happened to me anyway.  Just wrap your mind around the fact that this will get very real, very soon.  People you know will die from the vrius, because people you DON'T know were too ignorant of selfish to do the things required to prevent it.  There's a lot of blame to go around, and it starts at the top.
