Did DUers hear him say 90,000 dead then 100,000 dead before he went down to

80,000 (although it's 81,000).

That was the most interesting thing here today. He must know which ReTHUG governors are hiding the numbers for him. The Miami Herlad says DeSantis is hiding lots of numbers.

narrative. This Prick with Ears has already declared victory with 100k deaths,and his Aides most likely used that number knowingly he can save face by adjusting his numbers upward and once again claiming to be a expert on death.

It's like the old joke where a man calls his buddy on vacation: "Hey buddy, I have bad news for you. Your cat is dead." Buddy responds "Oh man, you can't just come out with it that way. Start slowly...like 'your cat was on the roof'. He slipped and fell..."

The next year, buddy is away again, and man calls him. "Hey buddy, your mom was on the roof..."

Bad news comes best in gradual doses.
