From The Washington Post:

Quote:

How much is 250,000 deaths? Enough to empty wide swaths of the country.

As of Thursday, over a quarter-million people in the United States had died of covid-19 as the number of confirmed cases continues to skyrocket. Hospitals are short on nurses, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended against traveling for the holidays.

Each of these 250,000 people is a life lost to a single virus in less than nine months. One way to understand the impact of this loss is to compare it with the number of people who live in your town, city or county. This amount of death would draw a hole in America’s heartland.

250,000 people is more than the population of any of these counties

The majority of counties in the United States have less than 250,000 inhabitants. In these places, the number of people who have died of covid-19 in the United States is the same or many times greater than the county’s population.

As deaths continue to rise across the country, daily confirmed cases of covid-19 are skyrocketing. Over 11 million confirmed cases have been reported, which is more than the combined population of multiple states.

The recent spike in daily confirmed cases is the largest wave so far during the pandemic in the United States, and it shows no sign of slowing. It is estimated that more than 3 million people in the nation have active coronavirus infections and are potentially contagious.

This week, two companies announced coronavirus vaccines that appear to be more than 90 percent effective in clinical trials. However, it will still be many months before the vaccine is distributed to people who are not considered at “high risk” based on their job, age and underlying health conditions.

it’s truly dawning on me today (lol) that this country is veritably fucked.

really, we’re in the hands of utter imbeciles. wtf.

just look at the stuff thar comes out of so many people’s mouths. just look.

with citizens like tessie and bytoad and skunky, supporting the atrocity we have going on... who needs enemies?? seriously??

we’re fucking toast.

toast.

That's the CDC talking, which although technically part of the Dotard administration has been in practice as removed from it as you or I.

A different message has come from White House officials. Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary, criticized health guidelines issued by governors as at odds with American notions of freedom in an interview on “Fox & Friends” on Wednesday.

“I think a lot of the guidelines you’re seeing are Orwellian,” she said, pointing to a rule in Oregon that gatherings should be limited to six people.

“The American people, we’re a freedom-loving people, we can make good decisions,” she said.

YOU'RE AN ORWELLIAN CHARACTER YOU MCENANA PIXIE PIECE OF SHIT.

almost 67 million people, i think, voted for trump. SIXTY SEVEN MILLION. that’s about 8 new york cities worth of population, just full of trumpists. 8.

even of they lost by 4 million—it’s 67 million!

consider the critical mass of those numbers, realize there’s nowhere else to put them, and tell me that we’re not ultimately FUCKED.

The quotes that I have been seeing from tesla genuinely worry me. He comes off as Giuliani-Squared. He has clearly gone off the deep end.

Oh, it's not an understatement to say he's absolutely next level

I'm sure this is fake news, but apparently, at the Virtual G20, Trump skipped the pandemic meeting to go golfing, and during other meetings he was simultaneously tweeting about the rigged election.

Yeah. It has to be fake news.

Detective Rust Cohle : What do you think the average IQ of this group is, huh?

Detective Marty Hart : Can you see Texas up there on your high horse? What do you know about these people?

Detective Rust Cohle : Just observation and deduction. I see a propensity for obesity. Poverty. A yen for fairy tales. Folks puttin' what few bucks they do have into a little wicker basket being passed around. I think it's safe to say nobody here's gonna be splitting the atom, Marty.

Detective Marty Hart : You see, that. Your fucking attitude. Not everybody wants to sit alone in an empty room beating off to murder manuals. Some folks enjoy community. A common good.

Detective Rust Cohle : Yeah, well if the common good's gotta make up fairy tales then it's not good for anybody.

It looks like the most important people and greatest country of all time is getting the vaccine first.

#take that America. Daft cunt
