If Trump were more of a realist he’d be playing DOOM, not golf.

Were going to need a bigger trump trailer. /s
Hell of a hoax.

What do the trumpers think the mobile morgues outside the hospitals are full of? Colombian ballot printing equipment??

Get a pizzagater or project veratas to do an “investigative report” I can’t wait till one of them gets punched in the face by a falling corpse. Wanna go viral? that will get you viral.

Wonder what the long term impact will be on the population of rural red states, which already had small hospitals closing at unprecedented rates?

Remember it isn’t just the 85,000 Covid patients that are impacted by this high rate. There are only so many hospital beds, nurses and doctors. Your Aunt Ruby might not be able to undergo the procedure she needs to keep her alive in the event of an illness other than Covid. Procedures we call elective are often not all that elective for the long term health of the patient. They can be postponed for a while and scheduled but if they are delayed too long patients will be crippled or killed. If the rates get too high, acute care is impacted. You can’t postpone your trip to the cath lab if you are having a heart attack and shouldn’t postpone it if your doctor believes you need a stent.

That is a particular worry. Rural healthcare is iffy at best and rural hospitals are closing everywhere.

I’m waiting for doctors and nurses to express their freedom to stop treating morons. Shut down the hospitals. We’re killing our healthcare professionals.

Someone on FB wrote this morning that the death toll in ND is 1 per 1,000 residents.

On WorldoMeters, the count of the dead in ND is 846 with some 763,000 in population.

So yeah…
