Jeff has said there aren’t many, they’re just relentless posters.

I guess you don't have young kids that will be missing school this fall? Or any concerns about losing your job?

JFC, false. Remember, lots of people seem to be developing very serious complications and no one knows if those are lifelong.

Did you care how many cases there were during the H1N1 pandemic?

Cases again, don’t matter. Deaths matter

Interesting that while we still enjoy the comedy of a few Trump sycophants posting lies on DCUM there has been a noticeable reduction in the frequency. I guess they don’t have the stamina to keep spinning their web of BS.

FL passed NY several days ago. In the next few weeks, the top five states for total cases/1 million will be red states:

The red states now have a 5% *higher* case rate than the blue states.

The blue states still have 2.3x as high a mortality rate than the red states...except that was 3x higher on 7/15 and 4x higher on 5/22.

Look how many blue people are dying. Crazy

In February and before, all of the Trump supporters castigated Obama for 18,000 H1N1 deaths.
In March, all of the Trump supports said "this is a blue state issue"
In August, Trump supporters are saying "look how many blue people are dying"

I would note, the very graph the PP cites shows blue states leveling off while red states are still accelerating.

Let's see where these numbers are in a couple of months.

But what the blue states are not doing is denying the virus and they the need to manage it. That alone may save some Blue state lives.

Except it won't be a second wave. We are still on the first wave because, collectively as a country, we suck.

The first wave is over in NJ, NY, and New England.
