Today, Washington State has less than two per cent of coronavirus cases in the U.S. At EvergreenHealth, hospital administrators have stopped daily crisis meetings, because the rate of incoming patients has slowed. They have empty beds and extra ventilators. The administrators remain worried, but are cautiously optimistic. “It feels like we might have stopped the tsunami before it hit,” Riedo told me. “I don’t want to tempt fate, but it seems like it’s working. Which is what makes it so much harder when I look at places like New York.”
At this point, he is not projecting denial, as he was with similar comments earlier. While the number of dead means little to him per se, trump is acutely aware of how his poll numbers are being affected. While the fact that some places have had to resort to renting U-Haul trucks to transport the dead doesn’t strike him with horrified grief, he is very unhappy with how his chances of taking the White House again look.
This isn’t denial. But he appears to be thinking that the virus will go away without a vaccine. He cannot provide a vaccine, can’t buy one, and can’t order one, and every time he lies about timing, people correct him … so a vaccine has to become less significant.
The only explanation is that he’s thinking herd immunity, just letting it wash over us all from shore to shore in waves of anguish he won’t partake of. We are at over “60,000” deaths, a number many experts believe is off by half or more.
“The U.S. now has more cases overall than the next six most-infected countries — Spain, Italy, German France, the UK and Turkey — the only other countries to have more than 100,000 cases. (Russia should eclipse that mark sometime this week.)”
But trump feels this is unfair. He wants to rev up his economic drive to reelection. Frontline health workers have become the voices of authority, so they trigger suspicions among the Right. He’s been listening to Fox say, COVID-19 is not that bad. Fox found two doctors, repudiated by all other doctors, to fit their storyline, although even YouTube, slack at best, has pulled this pair for spreading dangerous misinformation.
trump and Republicons have devastated us, so it’s time to outrage and distract us at the same time they exponentially double-down on death.
Plus, when trump says something, it becomes “true,” so he might be acting on a bit of superstition, or a bit of fatality where he’s fated to be fortunate.
It’s not going to work. At least, not without stunning numbers of Americans dying under his fake leadership, and because of the disastrous effects of Republicon influence in our politics .
AT LEAST one hundred thousand American citizens dead
And all of its thanks to that worthless repulsive dog-fucker Donald Trump and the pathetic pack of crooks liars and fucking incompetents that make ups his utterly worthless administration
This is what happens when you make the mistake of allowing a man who stares directly at an eclipse and thinks that injecting bleach into your body magically heals illness be in charge of a country
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
