Day 18: 2020 Pandemic. Trust science. In NYC someone dies every 6 minutes today from COVID-19.

Hard as it is to believe, we are still just in the early stages of the pandemic.

The number above has been ticking down. Yesterday it was every 7 minutes. If you think NYC is far away, don’t worry, this will come to your town soon enough.

We have a president doling out emergency supplies as if it’s a game show, rewarding those states he believes support him and denying those he views as enemies. It’s an incredible spectacle but we’ve become so number that today’s tweets that his daily briefings have the highest rating on TV seem normal. It’s not. But it is our insane reality. I was under the impression that the president serves ALL citizens but that has not been this case with this administration. The childish pettiness of having an 8 year old bully in the White House is killing people. Now. Today.

In case people haven’t noticed, there are a lot more red dots all over the country that weren’t there a week ago. This is spreading. And it will keep spreading. No one will be spared despite their political or religious beliefs.
