The Trump Epidemic

From NYT

Both the Times and the Washington Post report that over 50,000 additional people became infected with the Trump Virus today, July 2, the first time that we have hit (and surpassed) that mark. The trendlines continue in completely opposite directions and by an ever-increasing margin. Deaths are obviously most important and they continue their trending decline. However, there is a serious consequence to the out-of-fucking-control increase in cases—hospitals in other parts of the country are reaching near their bed capacity and MAY become as overwhelmed as New York City’s hospitals were in the beginning of the epidemic. Houston for example has more hospital beds than anywhere else in the country and they are about filled up. 

The up-to-the-minute total Deaths number from Johns Hopkins:

128,742 Killed by Trump.
