COVID-19 Update

So President Stoopid finally gets up there at the press briefing and admits he's had his head up his ass for 3 months, and that, golly gee willikers it looks like maybe 100,000 of us may die because of it.

And that's after Deb Birx and Tony Fauci told us the death toll could be as low as 100,000 if we do everything perfectly for the next month or so, but don't be too surprised if it pops up over 2 or 3 hundred thousand.

Cuz guess what - Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Greg Abbott (R-TX) still won't issue orders to tell people they need to do what President Stoopid's Task Force is telling us we have to do perfectly if we're going to have a chance to salvage something decent from this fucked up mess.

Growth Factors

Cases:
1.09 - World
1.15 - USA

Deaths:
1.11 - World
1.29 - USA

Case Fatality Rate (CFR) for The US right now is at 2.2%, which is lagging behind a World CFR of close to 5%. Which is another one of those things that seems weird because either they just don't know enough yet, or Cult45 is still trying to keep a lid on the bad news.

Or maybe that lag is why the briefing yesterday was so dark and ominous. When we look at the USA numbers on this thing, it doesn't seem all that bad, but there's a definite "We ain't seen nuthin' yet" vibe to it that's pretty fucking scary, so maybe they're just owning up to it now.

Wouldn't it be nice if 45* hadn't spent this whole time lying to us about everything.
