The Johnnies are being difficult. Their daily bar graph is only updated through May 3. I don't remember a time when they had a two day lag. Here it is as I "snipped" it at 12:03 a.m. on May 6.
What is striking to moi is the continued "skyscraper" look to the graph, a pattern that began on April 13 and had four consecutive taller skyscrapers, then three successive lower builds through April 20, then four higher builds to the Empire State Building on April 24. Then three build downs through the 27th; four build ups through May first and then two climb downs May 2nd and third. It really is an extraordinary pattern to me and extraordinarily regular. The logarithmic curve is still flattening out with a slight tilt upward. The flattening was predicted and hoped for but I at least never expected to see that repeated skyscraper pattern of daily cases in the details.
By the numbers then:
1,204,479 cumulative cases of Trump Virus.
The U.S. has passed the 70,000 number in total deaths.
71,070 Killed by Donald Trump. That is just shy of the wealthy, exclusive city of Weston, Florida.
5.90% That is Donald Trump Killing Efficiency. He kills almost six people who he infects with Trump Virus. That is Trump's highest Kill rate ever. One would expect (at least I would) that as the number of cases of Trump Virus rise with his encouragement of violent protests to "LIBERATE" the states and to reopen that Trump's Kill Efficiency will fall. So many people, he's going to have to reload. But, needless to say, as the number of cases rises the number of deaths will too. When the cases hit, say, 2,000,000, and giving Trump time to reload, dropping his efficiency to say, 5.25%, that's 105,000 people Trump will have Killed. And it needs to be restated that Trump is not even trying anymore to "flatten the curve." He's washed his hands of it, left containment up to the states, and is leading the protests to raise the number of cases and thus the deaths. Premeditated murder, in other words.
