My question.

My question to trump and team.

What number of American deaths do you deem expectable as collateral damage by:

Reopening business by Easter.

Denying States help.

Putting Healthcare workers in peril without proper PPE

Are elders disposable? Seems to me like they are. All I hear are lies and false claims of Teerumps miracle cures. Pence as I type is saying all Americans showing symptoms will get a test, FALSE. Those that do not have symptoms will not...unless you are a Pence, Trump, Brix or Paul. Oh and there he goes praising trump for the truly inspiring job he is doing. Makes me sick.

about how many people die. As long as his precious economic indicators go up, he’s happy as a clam. Fuck him and anyone who supports him.

I can’t imagine people over 55 will find it easy to keep or find jobs after this. Being we need more protections, not the fewer ones the Pukes are bent on.

Those people will be "left at the roadside" even by compassionate doctors who need to triage because of insufficient resources. It won't take the orders of a psychopathic politician.

That's based on the current death increase fitted to a curve that seems "reasonable" and projected out 60 days. I think it's what the US can expect if the health care system collapses and some states don't enforce lockdowns.

Trump doesn't have the ability to reopen business himself, but he has the economic means to browbeat weak-minded (i.e. GOP) governors into doing it.
