That's a lot of people.
Do you wonder if it will get bad enough like 1 in 200? I sure hope not.

The republicans are causing this. Desantis must be arrested at minimum negligent
homicide at some point.He wants people to die,he gets off on it.
And this personal choice stuff is bullshit.
What it really is is abuse and lawlessness.
