459,000 Americans have SUFFERED horribly, then DIED, from the virus trump and his accomplices downplayed and ALLOWED to proliferate and kill

459,000   Americans    have SUFFERED horribly,      then DIED  
from the deadly contagion that trump and his accomplices downplayed then  
allowed to proliferate throughout the nation.

Millions more SUFFERED illness, sometimes very severe, but survived.

trump's incompetence and criminal negligence has now killed more Americans
than were lost in combat in Korea, Vietnam, WWI and WWII *combined*      

That is 200 k more than Biden won Nov 3rd.

Really if you don't mind I rather use Darth Vader than a bunch of girl Scout cookie center sellers if I need to go to war against an unseen microbe.

Biden himself did it he crushed covid as he did Ebola but don't look to deep in the ways and means princess...

what rump and all rumplickers have allowed to happen is an absolute atrocity

Atrocity!  That's the word I was looking for too...

if there is a stronger word   it is applicable

The US reported 119,235 new Covid-19 cases   and   3,796 virus-related deaths

on Wednesday, according to Johns Hopkins University (JHU) data.

Australia reported  0  new Covid-19 cases.........again!

Already on Thursday, Feb 4 as of 5pm ET, the trump-enabled virus has killed 3,800 Americans

..... and counting

    ..... and counting

 It's a good thing Biden or Cuomo weren't in charge when this hit or we would have twice the casualties.

That's pure conjecture. I personally think our casualties were going to land right about where they are regardless of who was in charge. And I say that same thing to people who think there would have been less casualties if Trump wasn't in office. There are many moving parts so in each scenario there would be tweaks here and there but in the best of scenarios I think this is about where we were gonna be.

Off the subject, on the subject. 

@THEMUGG

 What's up with businesses in Washington? Bars and restaurants specifically. We were thinking of driving up to Olympia for the day to do something different for Valentine's. Hard to get a read on what exactly is the deal from the news. I know everything is broken into sections so we get updates for southwest but even that is convoluted.

@StumpTownStu

 Sure, it's conjecture. I base my assertions on the fact that if NY was a country, it would be near #1 in the world in covid death rate, & that Biden initially resisted travel restrictions & has now seen fit to unsecure our borders.

 Do you know someone in Olympia? It's not a place I would choose for a day trip. There's a great bbq place a few miles west though. They've won some awards. I'm not a huge bbq guy, but I've eaten there & it's pretty damn good. That area is in "phase 2" so they're allowed in-door dining up to 25% capacity......but I would check with each place as they're not all opening for that immediately.

@THEMUGG

 My wife has a friend there but we won't necessarily see her. We have been to Olympia. It's just a place to take a drive. Get away for a few hours. I'm more just curious if bars and restaurants are open. I'm having a hard time fully understanding what Inslee's policy is.

How have RESPONSIBLE gov'ts handled the pandemic?
Feb 5, 2021:

              Japan       = 49 deaths per million
            Taiwan       = .4 deaths per million
     Hong Kong     = 25 deaths per million
          S. Korea      = 29 deaths per million
  New Zealand     =  5 deaths per million
        Australia     = 35 deaths per million

trump-regime  = 1,419 deaths per million

*NOTE:
From the 129 nations in the world listed with at least 4 million population
124  (96%) are doing far better  at protecting their citizens than trump

Stat source:    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

keep these coming !

any narrative that says we would be in the same unenviable position with covid that we r today regardless who is in charge is just plain stupid  or ultra rightwing rumplicker belief    which is the same thing

Will do!

The trump-regime has USA ranked 5th WORST in deaths per million among the 129 nations with at least 4 million populations

Officials plead against Super Bowl parties

Officials and public health experts are pleading with people to avoid Super Bowl parties
to cut down on chances for the virus to spread.

      "Now is not the time for a Super Bowl party,"
Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Scott Harris said Friday.
      "Now is not the time to fumble the ball, because you got careless by spending time
       with a bunch of people that are not from your household."

odds that public wilfull ignorance and moronic defiance brings another spike in a few weeks and more deaths

- 1000  yes it will

+150   no, another spike from sb parties will not happen

these odds have just moved

- 3000  yes it will

+1000   no, another spike from sb parties will not happen

these odds have just moved

- 4000   yes it will

+2000   no, another spike from sb parties will not happen

465,000 dead now thx to rump and the rumplickers allowing virus to spread

Health experts warn that it's extremely risky for local and state leaders to lift Covid-19
restrictions right now because of the rising threat of coronavirus variants.
In fact, the Biden administration is considering more restrictions, like a Covid-19
testing requirement for domestic air travel.
