I was one day off. I check the COVID stats every day on a website called World-o-meter. I thought we might reach 4,000 deaths on Tuesday. However, the day ended at “only” around 3,700.
Yesterday, thought, we passed 4,000 deaths today from COVID. 4,199 Americans died yesterday. (We started the day with 346,579 deaths. It's ended up 350,778.) On 9/11, there were 2,977 deaths. We are now topping that number almost every day during this holiday spike. And we haven't even really hit the full-blown spike. And Trump, of course, is silent, playing golf. As President Elect Joe Biden fills in the vacuum.

Truly a sad but very telling statistic, if human lives are considered just a “statistic.” As for trump — I would expect no less than him not wanting to identify with the ultimate failure he has made of this pandemic. After all, he assured us it would just disappear by the Spring . . . But he never said which Spring of course!

John, thanks much, I appreciate it. And sadly such milestones won't be ending any time soon.
