Yeah but what's the alternative? A comprehensive national three week shutdown with lump sum payments so people can stay home? Using the militarised police state for something other than renegotiating the civil rights act? Using the completely-controlled mass media to shame people into wearing masks by challenging their masculinity/individualism/patriotism?
We need to hit one million dead. It's a nice round number and I won't settle for saying "flag-waving hogs have killed more Americans than WW2 did" or "the neo-confederacy got more Americans killed than the original hicks did". One million dead means I can ask my pet libertarians, "if this isn't the number that makes you believe in germ theory then what is?"

Most of em will just see it as an excuse to declare war on China tho
It could be 10 million dead that the people your trying to dunk would still not give one single fuck.
no some of them would have died by then
I keep hoping that things getting worse will change their opinion, and I keep getting disappointed.
