All the Republicans want to go to church and go shopping and ignore the fact that Trump can't get 1% of the tests we need to have a chance of staying safe. They want to open up the country so (a million) can die.
When this is all done we will lose one million.
To hell with the idiot scientists. Anyone with a working brain knew it would be more than 60,000.

Good luck everyone and stay safe.

it's actually much higher due to under-reporting
and testing.

(15,978 posts)Ugh. I know the number is rather low due to not having many parents of that generation left. But they watched their kids die and now they are dying. Sucks!!!!!!

(31,261 posts)The number of dead is adding up so fast that I have lost track.
I believe that 1 million is too high, my guess is 400,000-700,000. What will slow things down is the dying will move for heavily populated cities to less populated ones in the South and Interior West.
