COVID-19: Pandemic Politics

-40,000 dead Americans due to covid-19 by Sunday. That's in a period of 5 weeks.
- Republicans and Fox are sparking massive protest to disrupt the efforts of health experts trying to reduce the death count.
- the main focus of the GOP is not the body count or the almost certain double peak of deaths public protests will spark. Their main concern is Trump's poll numbers which continue to plummet in swing states. They are calling on protest in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin to hurt the state governments by ramping up the health crisis.
- they know Trump fucked up, they know they're screwed unless they find a way to blur the issue with politics. And they're willing to do that with human lives.
- this is not hyperbolic or hysterical. We are watching in real-time a party intentionally set out a policy that they know will kill thousands of Americans, prolong the quarantine, cripple hospitals, and do even more damage to the economy.
- it will be 50,000 dead Americans by next weekend.
