Bill Gates warns that we’ll likely see 2,000 COVID-19 deaths a day before vaccinations are widespread.

He said of the coronavirus pandemic, ‘We’ll look back and say, ‘Why couldn’t we convince people to just stay the course?’’

Agree, far more knowledge than what has been in charge of the coronavirus task force.

What a complete disaster. Nearly 260,000 deaths already and solely on Trumps watch. America will never forgive him or forget for what he has done.

Like other disasters in America history, every time Trump virus comes up, only one name will come to mind who failed and costs hundreds of thousands of lives.

We already went over 2,000 today and it’s only 6:37 Pacific.

I think we’re easily going to do over 3K per day a few weeks after Covidgiving on Thursday.

Would have been worse under Biden, and with no vaccine in sight. I can’t believe that the media was successful in blaming this on Trump, and using the issue to get him out of office. You can stop peddling the lie now....you won (sorta).

Thank G-d Trump was at the helm this year, when the Chinese government unleashed their virus on the world.

Total US deaths after four years in World War 2: 291,557. We may reach that in December. Kind of a dark milestone.

I keep hearing people blame Trump over & over again. To me that is part of the reason why we are where we are. It's all about putting blame on somebody & not yourself.

Did Trump miss great opportunities to send a message to his followers that they should be wearing a mask in public? Absolutely. He's failed in that sense.

But people need to take responsibility for their own actions & stop blaming a lame duck president.

So many of the deaths happening every day are coming from Democrat areas. So how is it Trumps fault? It's people not taking it serious that hated Trump since day 1. So why are we acting as if they are listening to Trump?

It's just like the typical Democrat platform. Find somebody you can blame your problems on & run with it.

Still rounding the turn, are we?

Correct. Reminder when Trump was starting to limit travel and Biden/Pelosi/Cuomo/DeBlasio all said the virus is nothing more than a common cold. They all said Trump was full of it, a racist and people should not listen to his warnings about the virus. They told people to ignore the virus, come on out and socialize together. Yet the left ignores what they all said and pretends it would have magically been better.

Reduce the HIPPA censorship requirements limiting the data available.

We don't need names but give more info than 'had comorbidities'. Tell us if average folks are really in danger. Give specifics. I think we're becoming inured to the gross numbers. Put a lot of personalization to the numbers not just a few outlier cases. Maybe pick a random day and give the circumstances behind each death.

Personally I don't take it too seriously, maybe incorrectly, because my general impression is that it doesn't harm people like me.

We're big kids, give us the truth.
