And that, folks, is the height of his leadership. As of 1:20 am, we have 160,402 deaths in the U. S. Global 706,342 deaths. We alone have about 15% of the deaths worldwide.
While the virus spreads, Trump is trying to find ways to profit from it and try to find a way to get re-elected.
What has he done that he thinks the American people would think he deserves another four years at the helm? He ran us aground in the first year! No mas, chinga su madre!
The US has only 4.7% of the world’s population and 15% of the world’s preventable deaths. We’re not looking very intelligent compared to the [now] more advanced countries. We’re not the worst on a per capita basis, but we should not as bad as we are.
Note that Belgium is overcounting the number of deaths while the US is undercounting.
“Our way of counting things is the most scientifically correct and honest,” Yves Van Laethem, a virologist and Belgian government spokesman, told reporters Friday.
Van Laethem showed reporters a slide of calculations from the Economist magazine indicating that Belgium’s official coronavirus toll closely tracks “excess deaths” for the pandemic period — the number of deaths that exceed what would be expected for the period, based on the country’s historical death rates. Belgium attributed 7,559 deaths between March 16 and April 26 to the coronavirus. The Economist estimated that the country had 7,397 more deaths in that time period than would have been expected.
By comparison, a team of Yale researchers who analyzed U.S. mortality data in partnership with The Washington Post this month estimated that, with excess deaths as a guide, the true toll could be one and a half times higher than the official number.
According to www.worldmeters.info/coronavirus/country/us/ at 8:27am 08-06-2020 the number is 161,635. I put this here because reporting always seems to lag behind the latest number and yes, I know, with the number going up constantly it’s hard to keep current. The horrific number form this site is “Projections”. Somewhere between 198,000 and 250,000 by October 31. United States of America, nobody does it better.
The numbers folks at the U Dub project that we will have 230,000 deaths by election day. We will be able to remember that they were what they were. I hope that we survivors vote accordingly.
After 4 years that slogan MAGA is truer now than it was at the end of the Obama term.. when America “was” pretty good. trump took a pretty good “America” and ran it into the ground.. much like all his other adventures.. And now, hopes to have another go at it.. That it is even an option folk are considering is truly amazing.
Wait, the show is just beginning, you ain’t seen nothing yet! The spread of the virus after the schools are open, you are in for a shock… America finally gets the Darwin Award in the category of “Countries That Thought They Were Exceptional”….
Also, you can’t have an omelet without breaking eggs. And look, all those people, every single one of them, would have died sooner or later anyhow, Some people just have to make a big fuss out of it, anything to make Glorious Leader look bad.
If we had a LEADER instead of the rapist/traitor currently occupying the White House, things would be very different. Of course, you can’t tell the maggots that: logic is NEVER taught in maggot school!
