I get tired of the deniers claiming Covid-19 is no worse than seasonal flu. We are about to cross the 300,000 deaths threshold (if we have not already crossed it depending upon the data source). The graph below clearly shows death from seasonal flu comes no where close to deaths-to-date from the Covid virus:  Source of data: Disease Burden of Influenza |

According to Worldometer, the US hit the 300,000 mark yesterday. As of right now, we're at 303,048 deaths. Unbelievable that the MAGA crowd still worships at his feet!  |

it is more than upsetting. I can't even describe what it is. the truth is literally killing them and they are not dealing with it. how can anyone explain that? can someone even try? because it makes me feel as if I am losing my grip. |

Look up collective narcissism. The same pathology which guides Trump has become endemic in his followers... how can they admit they were wrong about this... it means their entire worldview is potentially corrupt. Yes. You should be afraid. I started processing this inevitability years ago and I still have days, as we meet and go past each line in the sand that I knew we'd meet... but can you really let yourself believe it will happen?... its been bad all over again. This election has actually been positive because I didn't think many things would hold that did. But hope, hurts. We need to tread very carefully. Steve Schmidt from Lincoln Project was pretty much begging AOC on twitter today to join forces and help hold the ends, so that they could draw in moderates and hold the republic... people on the right who aren't crazy are realizing in full color what they have wrought. Sorry. I haven't been a very fun person to be around in the last 4 years... |
