America's COVID Tragedy...The Lagging Indicator Catches Up.



From the front page of today's digital NY Times.

Don't think that the +42%, in black, has anything whatsoever to do with 'increased testing'.

OK?

omg that man is an idiot. Yes if you test more you have greater accuracy but if you're testing and there are fewer new cases that is also reflected in the testing results.

These increases aren't anything yet. Wait until dear old Betsy forces schools to open and then tens of thousands of children start dying. At the rate people are dying from COVID in the U.S.A. you'd think some one wanted a lot of people to die. there are benefits from a high mortality rate. Fewer people, fewer people of colour, fewer children mean fewer schools required, fewer people fewer pension cheques required, fewer people less food stamps and welfare cheques, the list goes on. Am I crazy? Who ever thought the U.S.A. would look like a "shit hole" country with a "shit head" for President. Things aren't getting better down there. At the rate things are going, I'd bet at least a decent bottle of scotch (I hate the stuff) close to 500K Americans will be dead if Trump remains in office within a year. He will then have what he wants, a reduced population with fewer people of colour. He doesn't care how he achieves it, as long as it is achieved.

there is nothing new about any of this. We can go through history and have a look at the decimation of populations by leaders of countries while the world sat around and did nothing. We all remember Pol Pot, Rawanda, Miramar, etc.
