it would have to disappear. There's no sign that it will.

By re-appear I meant like 1 million plus testing positive in any month.

But I sleep soundly by knowing 100,000 dead is 0.0003 fraction of population size of about 325 million.
So chances were very slim of dying from covid-19 in 2020.

These polis have such a fun way of twisting numbers.

If we don't test, we don't have cases.

If they die because of lungs full of crap but not tested, not covid.

If they die because hearts, kidneys, livers, brains failed but no diagnosis, not covid.

If they die on a cruise ship from hell but not allowed to dock on US soil, not covid.

If they die but I don't report it because I've muzzled all US government agencies, I don't know.

I'm Loser Trump. And I'll bankrupt your nice little company just like I've bankrupted everything else I can.

That's what I do.
