• 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.

    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
