A week ago our death toll was higher than the new hospitalizations.
I asked,
Where are these people dying?
The answer is, some at home,
Some en route to the hospital.
Over 58,000 Americans died in the Vietnam war and today,
Our (American) death toll is over 55,000.
Over 200,000 worldwide.
This is the virus that drove us back inside our homes,
separated us from each other,
made this a zombie apocalypse where we’re making supply runs
Like we’re in an episode of The Walking Dead.
Oh Glenn. Poor Glenn!
New York reached it’s peak —
Which means one of two things:
Everyone who is going to get the virus got it, or
Every one has it.

Deaths: April 10 — 783, today — 337, the lowest it’s been in April

I do rely on these daily briefings from Cuomo, I

Am not Republican and never liked him but he does give facts interspersed with his ‘personal opinion’, always with a little bit of humor
