3,150,000 is 1% of the US Population
Both numbers are possible death tolls in this country. At which number of deaths will we finally impeach and remove Trump from office?
You decide.

(25,457 posts)The Republicans can't and won't acknowledge that Trump is responsible for the delays and the tepid response, because they're complicit in them. That means there's zero chance they would remove him from office. They'll just try to shift blame to everyone else, as they already are.

Republicans in D.C. are going to go down with him, because they are afraid to remove him from office. Sadly many will die because republicans have put trump over country!

(4,460 posts)is "resolved cases". Cases resolve one of two way: You live or you die.
Right now the numbers are:
Lived: 21,561
Died: 12,561
That's a scary %.
Admittedly, the number is skewed in that we have done a fraction of the testing we needed to do, but that was Trump's and his followers choice. They want to hide the size of the pandemic.
At the same time, people dying without a positive diagnosis are also not being counted.

(64,990 posts)Is now higher than from H1N1 and those deaths took 15 MONTHS.
We're 7 or 8 WEEKS from the first death.
H1N1 averaged 800/month. This is averaging 1,500-1,800/WEEK!
But, don't worry, the cases will go from 15 to zero in no time!

(42,690 posts)Show me someone with reliable credentials who believes there will be 3.15 million deaths in the US by November -- that's over 14000 deaths a day every day between now and election day. It's a silly and pointless number.
Is 315,000 by election day possible? I wouldn't completely rule it out, but the numbers from Europe suggest that the peak won't be as high and as sustained as would have to be the case to reach such a number.
