COVID-19 Update

President Stoopid gave us another thrilling episode of Gaslight Theater, telling us he didn't say what he said when he said we'd be at 5 million tests per day very soon.

WaPo Fact Checker, on all the nonsense 45* spouts every day when asked about the testing.

And if you wanna have some fun - in a way that's no fucking fun at all - you can always play a little Google Roulette: 

Then, Supervising Meathead-in-Chief, Jared Kushner, told us that Cult45's handling of COVID-19 has been a big win - a stunning success - and we should all be proud and go back to work, and we'll have this economy humming again by mid-Summer.

Meanwhile - not to be outdone, and certainly never to miss an opportunity to fuck us over, Republicans in Congress are pimping the idea that employers need to be shielded from law suits resulting from the death of employees who are ordered back on the job.

They've been eroding the right to seek redress through the courts for decades - the most effective tool has been the inclusion of an Arbitration Clause in practically every contract we have to sign for anything from a service warranty on that new toaster to cable service to brain surgery.

Anyway, we continue apace.

And here we are again, expecting to top 100,000 dead Americans by mid-May.
