How is the Counting Going?

 

The US recorded a staggering 102,831 new Covid-19 infections Wednesday — the first time since the start of the pandemic the country has reported a six-figure number in a single day. https://t.co/esj3h6agVz

If there is one thing I will never get over, it is that Trump's feckless COVID-19 response did not make this election a landslide against him. The talk about "COVID, COVID, COVID" is absolutely not going away just because the election is (nearly) over as the turn we're rounding is nowhere near the end of the race. We're not even on our way to being economically sorted out. And with the Senate not flipped, who knows what kind of slim, insubstantial relief measure will be thrown at the problem (if any at all)? 

 So look at the number of COVID infections the last few days. That's how the counting's going. 

 (I blame anti-science, pro-lying RW media for a lot of this. Their ecosystem needs, I dunno, bleach, or a bit strong light shone up it.)
