Americans are bad at math. The US daily COVID-19 positive rates only look steady because we aren’t testing any more people.
Every week we test 100K and find another 30K new infections. That’s not what “getting better” looks like. But no, we won’t find any better answers when the best we manage is testing one maybe person in 3000.
Republicans know retribution works. They savage every critic, every time. Reporters hold back the next time, especially the big corporate news, worried them might block their employer next time. Politicians either go quiet or suck up to Trump, so he doesn’t withhold the supplies they need to save people’s lives. And that silence leaves most of us in the dark at the worst possible time. Sorry, but crime pays.
Our Republican leaders fail us. They cling to their pretense of strong defense, but they only want guns and bombs. Disease, a well-known threat vector, confounds them. In a pandemic, national defense means healthcare. But that’s like climate change: heretical to orthodox Republicans. They elevate ideology over reality.
