COVID-19 Update

We keep hearing some hopeful chatter about "flattening" and "tapering off", but until you're actually past the inflection point, you can't see it. And even then, you could be looking at a plateau instead the beginning of the downslope.

We can hope (and of course we should - nobody's wishin' for bad luck and knockin' on wood), but it's entirely possible we're just taking a little break, and we'll be right back at it real soon - we've been here before:

In the last coupla days, during his daily CoronaCast Live, 45* has tried to claim that 50,000 dead is the ceiling, and that we'd have to consider it a big win cuz after all, it coulda been so much worse yada yada yada.

By the time I get this posted, we'll be over 50,000, and we'll prob'ly be at 60,000 dead Americans by about Monday.

Fuck that fucking fuck Donald Trump.
