The murder spree continues, death toll numbers be damned!

There is no way in hell we are ready to reopen our economy. They lied about the testing, telling us last month many millions of test kits would be shipped out in a week. Bullshit.

Trump refuses to address this national crisis with a national response. That has been a disaster and it will continue to be a disaster.
Trumps catastrophic failure of trying to cover up a pandemic cannot be fixed by Trump, Republicans. They just don't have the ability to lead, to make rational decisions.

At this very moment Republican Governors are ignoring mayors of their states, who are pleading for help. "People are dying" is being answered with, We have to open up the economy.

The death toll is as non-factor to Trump and the Republicans. They only care about the economy which of course will lead to the spreading of the virus for a longer period of time. More people will die and in the end they will completely wreak the economy because they could not figure out you have to solve the virus problem first. It's absolutely maddening watching these crooked, foolish, murdering assholes destroy us.

2. The fact that they are personally profiteering off this is what makes me beyond furious.

Fustercluck let the virus spread and multiply exponentially for 3 months while the co. he's a part owner in struggled to design test kits. if he had taken the test kits available, tens of thousands less would be dead. He didn't want that, the profits were the most important. Same with the national stockpile, he had to profiteer off of it so wouldn't use his real authority via the DPA. Profits first people never are his motto. Also, he and PUtin have a plan to destroy us through closing the post office, closing most (all) precincts in all blue areas of red states to cause mass confusion and frustration. He will seed the lines with white nationalist gunhumpers who will start riots on purpose so he can declare martial law and stop the elections. he will declare himself winner and SCOTUS will ok it because they all have the same goal, converting us to a rw fascist nation of serfs and barons and they think they have a once in 100 lifetimes opportunity right now..

3. Here is the latest data I could find about my state.

1,599 confirmed cases in Arkansas
34 deaths
509 recoveries
22,289 negative tests
* 50 cases with missing county information.

If my math is correct, the rate of death is roughly 2%. (34÷1599)

Also, in a state with a population of approximately 3M, less than 1% of the population has been tested. (22,289 + 1599 ÷ 3M)

Approximately 6% of those tested are positive for Covid-19. (1599 ÷ 23,888)

If my calculations are in error, please correct me. I am not a math whiz.
