Anyone who's chosen to pay attention to the pandemic knows by now that it's a few orders of magnitude more-dangerous than what we call "the flu".

For those who've chosen not to pay attention, this article will have as much of an impact as all the rest.

Every dark tunnel has a light at the end. Unfortunately hundreds of thousands of Americans won't see the light.

And they are continuing to learn more about the virus such as how it effects children. In Florida, 31% of all those tested under the age of 18 have tested positive and even without symptoms there appears to be lung damage which could be debilitating in the future. This news comes at a time when they want to open the schools back up. What a disaster.

And those here, which represent similar opinions found in the 30% of america that are Trump's base. Do not care or simply do not believe the medical evidence and findings this story highlights. Our average new cases/day are over 60,000 now. That is 6,000,000 more people with covid in 100 days. At a mortality of 1% that is 60,000 more dead in 100 days but our mortality for diagnosed cases is currently above 7%. Assuming a continued drop in mortality, that is another nearly 200,000 deaths in 100 days if we do not act to stop the spread. And If it continues to grow like it is now, it will be 100,000 /day by early august.

Yeah, I don't get it,I really don't. It's got to be a psychological thing. I think their minds just won't allow them to accept the facts of any issue if it's in any way connected with and perhaps politically detrimental to, the scoundrel they put in the White House. Honestly, I think that some here would rather give up their democracy than to open their eyes and see Trump for who he really is.
