All will be higher next year.
Also COVID-19 deaths.

With all the hand sanitizer I have probably absorbed, any future blood transfusions will probably be done with a squirt pump stuck in my arm.

Either Dr. Birx missed the humor or she has none. What I derive from this is that Trump does indeed have that ace up his sleeve waiting for the right time to pull it. I have my doubts whether or not Dr. Birx is shrewd enough to recognize it.....

Excellent plan! No more federal dollars. Close all military bases. Require passports to enter the U.S. What could possibly go wrong?

And tax all their produce imports - picked by illegals - HEAVILY.

Wait, if CA became its own country that would mean Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t be in Congress. I could support that.

Apparently the numbers weren't as high as they'd like so they changed the formula.
If you've shown symptoms and had direct contact you're counted as having it.
Die in nursing home where 1 confirmed case has been identified and you've died of the kung flu if you had 1 symptom.
No testing necessary now, they'll just mark you down as a yes... Oh they say it'll make it apples to apples since the other way wasn't. yea why use science when making shit up works much more bettet.
So get ready for a surge in numbers (not confirmed cases) so they can scare the sheeple and keep lock down until next year.

These whiny governors remind me of kids that don't save their allowance and then come begging for money from mom and dad when they want something.

Ummmmm, not to beat a dead horse, but: Anyone still trying to support a continued increase in panic should check today's numbers from basically any source I can find online. Honestly, even I find it a bit surprising. Data revisions have been made retroactively more than a few times, so it will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow and the next day.

I would love to see this. Time to Ctl-Alt-Del. Texas can be next. We have sea ports, NASA, oil, oil refineries, gas, and even nukes out in Amarillo.

I know. I would say it's "bad timing", but there is never a good time to be out of work until you are ready to retire. I'm sure that will end when all this bullshit ends.
