Covid cases ramping up each day, over 70k today

Numbers aren’t finalized yet, it could be well over 70k. Deaths are somewhat less than in earlier peaks but getting close to a thousand again. Of course the trumper’s lord and savior will protect them so no need to be cautious. If it’s the usual pattern the numbers will dip over the weekend then head back up next week. At this point I’ll just be glad a whole lot of the red hatters will be sick by Election Day. I was surfing on youtube and ran across T Oompa Loompa having his rally, I think it’s in Georgia. I only watched for a half a minute, I can’t stand the way he does that sing-song delivery at his rallies. He was talking about Hershel Walker who apparently has endorsed him.

Unfortunately he seemed pretty much back to normal. I keep holding out hope the virus will lay him low.

So we be seeing the peak in about a month, so numbers will be worse daily right thru the election. A constant reminder of trump and the GOP failed Covid response. Of course flu season begins in earnest NOW. So Covid/seasonal flu victims all competing fir hospital time for next 5 months

We’re going to be hearing a lot about this in the next 17 days. This country is absolutely awash with Coronavirus. Many places are out of ICU beds. People are losing their unemployment benefits, evictions are rising as are jobless numbers. It’s quite a mess.
