COVID-19 Update

My Growth Rates are screwed up again because I checked early today - the same as I screwed up yesterday's rates because I checked late.

There's still some reason to be optimistic about it because people are doing what needs done even as Cult45 continues to to do amazingly stoopid things.

The big hangup now is that 45* has called for cutting back on the testing, which is a really good way to pretend COVID-19 isn't as bad as everybody says it is - as bad as it fucking actually is.

I mentioned it in an earlier post. If you don't have a COVID-19 diagnosis, then death certificates read "Brain Death Due To Anoxia", or "Cyanotic Toxicity Due To Interstitial Pneumonia", or "Renal Failure Due To Sepsis", or plain old ordinary Cardiac Arrest.

So you keep telling the lie about what a great job you're doing - "Nobody is testing better than we are" - while you push down on the ability to process those tests, and keep threatening to retaliate against anyone who dares tell the unflattering truth about the fucking monster in the White House.
