Killing to win election

jeudi 18 juin 2020 à 02:00

*Trump Willing to Kill Hundreds of Thousands of Americans in Effort to Win Election.*

20,000 Americans are dying each month from Covid-19 because of the government's totally wrong-headed response. But it could easily go back up to 30,000 a month, as Republicans "reopen the economy" without having prepared to make that safe to do. Meanwhile, the mad killer encourages Americans to stop wearing masks and spread the disease more.

This could add up to more than 200,000 before inauguration day, at which point (assuming the election wasn't rigged and doesn't get overturned) the new president can start adopting the policies known to stamp out Covid-19.

Until that gets done, we are in the position of competing with everyone else to be among the last ones that remain uninfected until herd immunity protects us, perhaps 18 months and 600,000 deaths further along. (Assuming we have around 10% exposure and need 70% for herd immunity.)
