As the US has passed this milestone im sure trump has commented about the sad loss of life and begged people to comply with his admins advice to social distance and wear masks and how if we all follow the experts advice we will all get through it.

Surely thoughts and prayers would suffice?

An apology from trump for his misinformation & errors of judgement concerning Covid would be good

Hey look at the bright side a full 24 hours after we have reached this horrific milestone trump managed to put out a tepid condolence tweet

The number does seem very low, especially when you consider that in America, in any 5 month period in years gone by, the average number of deaths would be around one and a quarter million. Obviously dying has gone out of fashion, in a world that now expects everyone to live forever.

Maybe I wasn't clear. It was 65k beyond "run of the mill" death level from previous year and reported covid-19 deaths subtracted.

Would be difficult to tease out as so many traffic deaths here reduced due to lockdown & Thai practice of not counting as traffic deaths those who die in hospital, contrary to world standards

What would you say....if you had the deaths of some goodly portion of 100,000+ dead Americans squarely on your hands?

 

There has been scientific research and studies announced lately re the U.S. that more rapid deployment/enforcement of travel bans, testing, social distancing rules would have substantially reduced the U.S. death toll... And the responsibility for all those failures/delays in the U.S. lies squarely on virus denier Trump and Co.
