1. 7 million cases is more then Massachusetts' population but less then Arizona's population

Arizona 7,278,717

2. 7 Million equals 2% of population, One in fifty of us have gotten this. "PLEASE BE CAREFUL"

3. And that's only the 7 million we know about. Since there hasn't been extensive testing in US,

we really don't know how widespread it is.

This didn't have to happen. The US the richest country in the world had the poorest mitigation to combat the virus.

4. The US isn't the richest country in the world. We're number 11

after Qatar, Macao, Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland, Brunei, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Switzerland, all of which also managed to control covid a whole lot better - but that's not because they are richer, but because they were smarter.

8. OK, Velveteen Ocelot...thanks for educating me - much appreciated.

5. And what is the real fatality rate?

How could anybody vote for Trump?

How many will die? Have we crossed the Rubicon in our path to > 1 million deaths?

7. Zombies don't care.

I think we've entered the zombie apocalypse.

6. And that means 7 million more with "pre-existing conditions"

who won't be able to get health care due to ACA being killed by the GOP/SCOTUS

9. Exactly
