- In hospital: 126,166 (+6,618)
- In ICU: 21,707 (+497)
- New deaths: 1,797
This is just the start, IMO. Those ICU numbers are probably the consequence of ~300k cases per day from 10 days ago. Biden is really going for it.

There's always this implication that gets made that covid deaths are going to result in dems losing the midterms/presidency, but the big winners electorally have been the ones who've gotten as many people killed as possible. We all remember how popular Cuomo was before they got rid of him, and Desantis and Abbott are both looking at a viable 2024 run. I hate to say it, but I think that throwing their hands up and telling us that things are going back to normal as we continue to stuff fresh corpses into the meat grinder could be the dem's ticket to staying in power
I think you're right. And i think the reason for this is pretty clear.
COVID isn't life threatening for most people. So having the government throw up their hands and do nothing is fine for them. They can get back to enjoying all the treats.
The people it kills obviously don't vote so fuck um.
Also opening up no matter what is what capital wants so the politicians who do so will have plenty of corporate money
We’ll probably see a low turnout for the next election, lol. Bunch of peoples that died, and bunch of voter apathy for this disastrous admin
Dead people aren't counted in voter turnout, right?
Also unless there's something absolutely bonkers down ballot, I'm not paying 7€ to fax/mail my vote in.

I might be off base here but at this point I believe everyone to both the left and right of the DNC is baying for their blood right now. I am anticipating haunting nightmares of Reaganesque election results with exactly the wrong kind of red sweeping this country.
