Just to keep track of the nonsense that has wrecked our economy and generally made our politicians run around as if their fool heads were on fire, each day I publish the corona virus total death toll in the US based upon the latest data I can find. A single death is an immense tragedy if you love the person. However, we are not talking about love, but rather public policy, which should always involve a sober analysis of risk and cost. Please recall that in a bad normal flu year our death toll in the US can be as high as 90,000.
Note: this will be a total death toll since the beginning of this bad farce, and not a daily toll. As of the beginning of May 2 the death toll is 65,776 . May the Perpetual Light shine upon them.
Worldometer has 65,782 (that’s 0.020% of population, but 199 per 1,000,000 advances the narrative) US deaths. And, 16,481 US critical/serious cases remain. W also reports total US tests 6.7 million and total positives 1.1 million. That is five of six people with “symptoms” don’t have China Murder Virus. Does all this mean the death rate is on the decrease? .
“O my Jesus, forgive us our sins; save us from the fire of Hell; take all souls to Heaven; and help especially those most in need of thy Mercy. Amen!”
