What may have seemed like a ridiculously high prediction weeks ago has turned into reality -- and much faster than health experts expected.

The US just reported its highest number of new coronavirus infections in a single day -- 102,831 on Wednesday, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. 

And it's not just due to more testing. New cases have increased 21% over the past week, according to Johns Hopkins. But testing has only increased only 4.52% over the past week, according to the Covid Tracking Project.

Huh, and here I thought (according to some here) that Covid would go away when the election was over.  It was all a Dem hoax.

In the words of Faux News' Trump Ass-kisser Sean Hannity (referring to what more and more people are now referring to as "The Trump Virus", early on Hannity said:
And this is the Democrats latest hoax!

The truly crappy part of this is that if Trump had taken just a small fraction of the effort that he has put into trying to steal the election over the past few days, and had put that effort into dealing with COVID in February or March, we wouldn't be in this desperate a situation now.

As hospitalizations and deaths surge, some officials are enacting new rules to try to control the virus' spread.

And unfortunately, all indications are that new cases of "The Trump Virus"  will only increase in the near future :-(

If some people actually adhered to the rules rather than whine or complan about them, we may not be dealing with this now.

That's usually the case in areas where there's been a resurgence. 

That-- and also stores, bars and other businesses opening too quickly...

Well, from the start, Trump and the entire Trump administration has downplayed the  virus-- Trump himself even going to the extreme of setting an example by he himself refusing to wear a mask! :-(

The obvious message that sent: if Trump himself didn't wear a mask, well-- there must not be any merit in wearing one,

So not surprisingly, states with high numbers of Trump supporters are also having a YUGE spike in new cases, followed by the biggest spike in hospitalizations...followed by a big spike in deaths.

None of which should be surprising . . .

Hasn't everyone heard, it's a hoax. Other than that we're rounding the corner on the virus and it's disappearing. 

OK, those are all things that Trump has said. If it's a hoax how can we be rounding the corner? Trump logic.jrSmiley_10_smiley_image.gif

According to Worldmeter the US today is at 107,677 new cases and 1,054 deaths. 

They will be reporting new cases and deaths for another two hours.

Didn't Trump say Covid would go away by now?

Either that or we are rounding corner or it was going to disappear, like magic.
