US tops 100,000 coronavirus deaths with no end in sight
By Reid Wilson - 05/27/20 05:51 PM EDT

More than 100,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus, a staggering wave of death that has brought the world's largest economy to its knees as the federal government struggles even now to mount a concerted nationwide response.

As of Wednesday evening, the U.S. had recorded 1,695,776 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 100,047 deaths, according to a Johns Hopkins University tracker.

The crisis shows few signs of easing. And as states begin loosening restrictions on business closures and social distancing requirements, many fear the country could be headed for a second wave of infections even before the first has been fully contained.

The two months of lockdowns meant to buy time to build the necessary testing and tracing capacity to bring COVID-19 under control have passed with only modest improvements, epidemiologists and public health experts said, at the cost of millions of American jobs and trillions in lost economic activity.

No end in sight?  Nonsense.  Cuomo has run out of nursing homes to put Covid-positive patients in.  Even New York numbers are starting to drop.

As for the states who haven't hit the peak yet, if your governor is a Democrat, you have my condolences.

As for the rest of the article, pure BS.  A staggering wave of death didn't bring the world's largest economy to its knees.  Fascist state governors did.  The crisis is showing signs of easing.  And lockdowns were never advertised as buying time to build the necessary testing and tracing capacity.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

True enough.

But most of us won't die today.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No.  Not today.  Probably not tomorrow, either.
