White House increases death estimates as restrictions loosen - CNN Headline.

FUCKING INSANITY ON ANY LEVEL

(CNN)Internal Trump administration projections estimate that about 3,000 Americans will die from the coronavirus every day by June 1, according to CDC documents obtained by the New York Times.

The increased estimates come as states have eased restrictions and after a weekend many Americans spent outside at protests or enjoying spring days in the park. Florida, Colorado, Indiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia, among others, moved to loosen restrictions in an attempt to revive a sputtering economy and calm restless residents.

But the projections make clear that these reopenings come with fatal risks.

"It's simple logic," CNN's senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen said. "When you tell people, 'Hey, you can go to bars, you can get your nails done, you can go to a restaurant,' those numbers are going to go up."

I have been of that opinion for a long time, though there is an ulterior motive behind the malice as there always has been with Trump.

His malignant mind is most likely fixated on that, (scheming, conniving, scripting) and putting somebody like him in that official position is the worst mistake a country could ever make, as we see.

The proof is in the pudding. Now, to be DONE with him for good.
