More than 80,000 people in the U.S. have now died from the novel coronavirus, according to statistics compiled by the John Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center.
Good luck in your efforts! Send us a post from your hospital bed!
I’m afraid we’re entering a period of death count misinformation. The early hit states generally had good reporting of deaths. This applied to New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Washington, and even Louisiana. But now as outbreaks spread to places like Florida and Texas, it seems we’re not getting the whole picture.
[“Increasingly, the virus is moving to smaller cities and rural areas. And though President Trump has touted falling rates across the country, a White House task force report obtained by NBC news and published Monday shows virus rates spiking in the heartland.”]
At this time, I’m content to add only the above (from the article).
Other sources showed that we surpassed the 80,000 mark on Sunday. Trump himself acknowledged 80,000 yesterday.
The US passed 80,000 deaths last Saturday, May 9.
This morning, we are at 82,018 with the majority of states still not started reporting for the day.

TPM might want to follow the main reliable sources for data on the topic of the century.
Too bad Trump and his MAGA Morans don’t believe in science and data. Worldometers projections (based on IHME) show that not only blue California is trending up in confirmed cases, but the states full of morans in the middle, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri are all trending upwards. Sure, it’s just a ripple at the moment, but the second wave coming if these morans don’t do an about face right now.
Your analysis is garbage for the morans. Nobody on this site is stupid enough not to see the numerous flaws in your analysis. If you want to gain traction with this nonsense, go to a site filled with MAGA morans like Fox News. Then, when you back up your mouth with actions like working on the front lines in a meatpacking plant, hospital, or elder care facility, you can come back on here and talk.
MAGA!! Winning!!! (At FAILING!!)
It’s partly having been up late and lack of cooperation from one problem-child client and my just not being in a tip-top mood but I have no snark for mass death today. It’s more like when we decapitated the Iraqi regime without a Step 2 for taking care of the power vacuum and they pretty much immediately started torturing and massacring each other. It’s just a horrifying, appalling spectacle that, as its author often says, never should have happened. Maybe if I get a good night’s sleep, though, mass death will seem funnier tomorrow.
