As The Donald gets closer to the election that looks more and more like he will lose, he gets whackier and whackier. He has held large political rallies, indoors and out, with thousands of packed-in, unmasked supporters. He has had events at the White House where people were not distanced and mostly not wearing masks. There is an outbreak in the White House, with numerous staff testing positive for COVID-19, as well as Donald, his wife and son. He was hospitalized with COVID-19, came out after a few days, and went out on the campaign trail claiming that the "Chinese virus" is like the flu (he told us that long ago), that it is not a killer, and that everyone should get it so we will all be immune.
Meanwhile, back in reality....
...the number of new COVID-19 reported cases per day continues to increase...
...the number of reported COVID-19 cases in our State of Oregon is increasing...
...and the number of deaths reported per day related to COVID-19 in the world, USA and Oregon (below) seems to be steady or declining slightly. (All graphics from the Washington Post.)
The medical experts tell us that things are trending in the wrong direction and will get worse as winter approaches. Trump tells us that the "China virus" is going away and everything will be just fine very soon. I know who I believe; how about you?
I am working hard and hopeful that President Donald J. Trump will be citizen (and inmate) Donald J. Trump as of January 20, 2021. We ned a president who is serious about dealing with a killer pandemic and provides the resources and leadership to get it under control. We need a leader, not a miracle.
