So the failures in our system were endemic in 2018 when the ultimate "count" was 80,000 dead, maybe even more. Nothing was improved, right? Is that the point? Justin Hart did a great job of displaying the failure in this administration, and there was no need for him to over-estimate the number from the accepted 80,000 to 100,000. He already lost his point by stating it.
Now we have a far more deadly pandemic, coupled with being a country where the 2018 lesson was ignored, making us one of the worst countries in the world at handling this. Our death toll will easily double that of the 2018 flu, probably has already. Is this supposed to be par for the course, something we should just expect, grin and bear, to freely and willingly send our schoolchildren into rooms to share in the deadly aerosol?
Where on earth is this guy's point? What did he think he was saying? Like . . . WWI and WWII wasn't so bad, let's try for another Civil War dead count, or why not go for a record million dead. Let's go for that million, and lick our chops at the collateral disabling of people, or just the torturous sickness, how American, he seems to be saying.
No, the point is not to allow so many people to get sick and die, not to repeat 2018 (too late now!), not to make 2020 worse than it already is. Six months in, we are at 134,731, just our counted dead, while our expected dead coming into this year, reveal this number to be grossly low, possibly 200,000 now, a more realistic doubling of his unsupported and overestimated 2018 number -- and climbing, in waves, with federal and some state policies best designed to kill more of us, going for a million.
