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& #39;s a low park figure. #COVID19 is coming to #RuralAmerica, so it ain& #39;t someone else& #39;s problem anymore. https://www.marketplace.org/2020/04/15/food-workers-are-suffering-as-covid-19-infections-reach-rural-america/">https://www.marketplace.org/2020/04/1...

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& #39;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& #39;t.

And so far, America& #39;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& #39;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& #39;m simply exposing it.

It& #39;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& #39;s a problem that needs fixing.
