1/ Re-tweeting. We went from 18K to 30K #COVID19 fatalities in 5 days (in line with my prediction from 3 days ago, that we will hit 40K soon.)

Expect 60K in about 5-7 days, and, unless a miracle happens 120K in 10-14 and over 200K in 30 days.

2/ And that's a low park figure. #COVID19 is coming to #RuralAmerica, so it ain't someone else's problem anymore. https://www.marketplace.org/2020/04/15/food-workers-are-suffering-as-covid-19-infections-reach-rural-america/

3/ It was always an American problem, affecting Americans. But it was never seen as an American problem until it hits the Little House on the Prairie.

I don't expect people penning editorials in the Federalist calling to sacrifice WY the way they suggested we did with NY.

4/ That is, #COVID19 simply illustrates the deep perceptions of who is American and who isn't.

And so far, America's response to this question when it comes to viral hotspots like NYC have been wanting in the moral department.

5/ IOW, expect to see heart-warming editorials about how to save America when the virus finally hits the hearth lands - "COVID19 ain't hurting the ppl it is supposed to be hurting."

Never mind the body bags in St. Louis, NYC or Seattle bc, you know, the economy and shit.

6/ I am not creating a divide with this thread. I'm simply exposing it.

It's all up to you to choose what to make of it, what you do about it, or even whether you choose to admit there's a problem that needs fixing.
