Closing in on 44,000 deaths and 1,500 new deaths.

[gibraltar72]

Sounds like a great time to open em up. We are at the mercy of fucking idiots.

[Squinch]

1. I'm showing over 20,000 new cases.

[gibraltar72]

2. Yeah fucked that up will edit.

[Squinch]

4. .

[Arkansas Granny]

3. Getting real close to that 60,000 prediction that Trump keeps talking about.

Who will be blame when we top that number?

[RRDrummer]

8. 60k?

it's inevitable isn't it? We'll blow past 70 probably. But then? Peters out? Second wave? Continual first wave? The uncertainty is the constant gut puncher.

[OnDoutside]

17. There's been 38,000 US deaths (at least) in the 20 days since April 1. I think 70,000 is still

optimistic with such an erratic state compliance.

[Arkansas Granny]

20. Here's the prediction.

Key coronavirus model revised downward, predicts 60K deaths in US by August

10. Yeah, he's gotta beat the Vietnam War...

So it will be great.

[Midnightwalk]

11. Governors and Chinese. nt

[Newest Reality]

5. Sure!

Let's get the party started. Haircuts and bowling, with a trip to see a movie at a theater to follow, for all!

You know you are living in an "economy" that is toxic when it is being treated like a war effort in that the implication is that you should be prepared to give your life to protect it and keep it going. I am going to misquote Jesus here, "The economy was made to serve man. Man was not made to serve the economy." And yet, we see people who are so naive that they THINK they are representing and demonstrating freedom while they are merely being foolish pawns and soldiers in an elite and GOP game to get them to lay down their lives so that the wealthy can thrive. I mean, is there really one born every minute? Suckers for Trump?

I know that their are other factors, like people who can't stand to not be distracted from themselves and many who only feel worthwhile if they work, and yes, I recognize the extreme need this has created in regards to food, housing, etc. for many people, but not all of them are being "worked" by the propaganda and lies used to massage them. They understand, even with their dire situations, that this goes deeper than even that.

As the GOP says: "There are more important things than living!" That should be their motto!

TRUMP/DEATH 2020 - "There are more important things than living!" If the shoe fits.

[gibraltar72]

6. And a tattoo.

[central scrutinizer]

18. And nails

Really vital shit

[cilla4progress]

7. I think when we hit 50K

it will have a huge psychological effect.

I'd say by tomorrow?

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. It will be either tomorrow or the day after if we continue at the rate we've had for the last week.

So when do you think they are going to stop with "the flu kills more people every year" bullshit?

[cilla4progress]

15. I know...

"Yeah, but we have a vaccine and treatments for the flu. And why would we add another viral exposure on top of what we already have???" Dumbshits.

Are these the same people that believe their civil rights are violated to wear seatbelts?

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. I suspect the Venn Diagram may also be a Euler diagram on that one.

[standingtall]

9. At this rate we will be past 60,000 deaths by the middle of next month

and if this pace continues we will be at 100,000 deaths by August or September. The death rate in New York maybe declining, but it looks like it rising in other States now.

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. If the average deaths per day that we've seen for the last six days continues...

without much change, we're going to reach over 100,000 deaths around Mother's Day. Let's hope that rate starts declining soon.

[Blue_true]

25. I think that with southern states opening things up,

who knows where this ends. The death rate in Sweden is 10x that of it's neighbors and Sweden's infection curve is still rising while it's neighbors are clearly on the down slope. Sweden chose to stay open and do marginal social distancing, the neighbors locked down. The southern states have more people that the virus has shown a tendency to kill. The death number could easily balloon to 100,000 within the next month, like you indicated, by Mother's Day.

[Blue_true]

24. More like before this month is over.

We were at 34,000 around Sunday. Now we are at 44,000+, this is just April 21, we have 9 more days in this month.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

14. So only about 16,000 more deaths until August then.

I mean, based on that IMHE model used by the Trump team that projected about 60,000 deaths by that date.

[central scrutinizer]

19. But anything less than 2.2 million

Is reason for a victory lap. Cherry pick the most pessimistic estimate as your benchmark. It’s a win-win, baby.

[uponit7771]

26. +1

[greenjar_01]

22. We'll hit it by the end of the month for sure

Horror. A grim day today. New York spiked back up to nearly 800. Pennsylvania is starting to spike badly. Illinois over 100 dead again.

Awful day.

[uponit7771]

27. +1, the death rates are flat and the infections keep peaking according to JK site looks like overt

... under reporting.

[blitzen]

21. Up to 2,500 U.S. deaths today per Worldometer...

and it's still afternoon.

[gibraltar72]

23. Yeah still some states to report. I think Texas dribbles its numbers

out to keep from shocking people. We may have a new high mark before day is over.

[Celerity]

28. 45,318 now
