Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #2,944

yeah I know you did not ask!

I have two conjoined fears.

First fear: it looks like the total number of COVID-19 deaths will come in lower than the original predictions of 100,000 to 240,000.  This is a good thing, but time will tell.  Gospodin Trump will use this lower number to tout the success of his “management” of the crisis.  The MAGAs and GOP faithful will buy it, believe it and repeat it ad nauseam.

Secondly, the COVID-19 pandemic seems to be hitting urban areas the hardest, and especially poor people and people of color in those places. This will result in the cluster fuck of an institution known as the Electoral College electing Gospodin Trump to a second term.  See NPR story: What Coronavirus Exposes About America’s Political Divide

If they have a vaccine by then the south of Spain is looking very good.   I am sure I could figure out health care options when I get there.  I am not sure what the golf situation is in Spain, but I have figured out that most of the golf in Central America is resort golf and very expensive.

  1. Two things, first the world death total is around 6.3% the US
    has just reached 4%, this could be attributed to good hospital care,
    or misstating the cause of death or at least part of it is with time
    we are catching up to the correct percent.
    Second the third world countries seem to have low levels
    of coronavirus cases and deaths which logically can be attributed
    to not testing due to lack of means. Unlike the US response
    caused by a lack of direction from Wrumpington and fear
    of losing $$$ by Gall Street.
