Over 5000 U.S. citizens will have passed away from Covid-19 this weekend alone. We have been hearing about “curves” and “models” for months, among the latest estimating 66,000 U.S. deaths by August 1.

At our current rate, we will hit 60,000 by Wednesday, April 29, and likely 70,000 by the end of next weekend — one week from today.

May 3.
