So many more will die, just so Trump can increase his chances of getting re-elected.
His successor should put him and all of his henchfolks on trial for mass murder. (Just a dream, I know, given the spinelessness of the “opposition” party.)

The moral failings of administrations across the globe during this crisis will be of major import to historians. The US will be a big one, but not the only one. The more of us that keep from being a historical footnote or statistic the better though.

Tangential to “Reopening Fever!”, which is what everyone should be calling this murderfest, but I was reviewing ways to manage some cash a little more safely (my primary concern) than having it just sit in my bank account, and came across this gem on the Fidelity website:
If you are like most people, you probably have some cash in a checking account for day-to-day spending, some savings for major purchases or unexpected expenses, and hopefully, an emergency fund with enough cash to pay for 3 to 6 months’ worth of household expenses. You may also have more cash sitting idle in your investment accounts and you’re considering what to do with it, both now and in the future.
I’m lucky, and relatively well off (easily bottom income decile for my profession), despite my life being a long string of stupid mistakes leaving me stuck in a shit house in a shit town with a shit dead-end job. But I digress: six months emergency fund for me would amount to basically half of what I have in my 401(k). And no, I don’t have that sitting in savings. And that’s based on my monthly expenditures now, of course that doesn’t include suddenly having to pay health insurance, etc. for my family.
And maybe I don’t read the right news sources, but so far as I can tell, Bernie Sanders is the only person talking about what we need to do right now to address “10%” (bull-fucking-shit, it’s 10% when the economy is doing well) unemployment.

That’s because Johnson pushed biking in PMQ this week while evading one of Starmer’s questions. To his credit, Johnson is an avid cyclist.
My wife suggested that the Cabinet should lead by example. She wants to see Rees-Mogg ride to work on one of these:

White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that the documents had not been approved by CDC Director Robert Redfield. The new emails, however, show that Redfield cleared the guidance.

That does look kind of high-end, but I suspect even most of the lower income schools have pretty good (although less flashy) procedures.
