Covid et al

Still killing more people via covid. And in their infinite wisdom Dem centrists and the GOP decided, in the wake of a pandemic that costs a million+ lives etc to unilaterally disarm and also they made sure that our future readiness for pandemics was as close to null as possible. Note, that they thought thousands of things (military spending etc) were better for the country despite all available evidence. Even some staring us right in the face. IOw you know that they only care about their own pocket books and nothing else. 

So while we get headlines about China and how badly off they are, we rise up to 600 deaths a day. Again, that's a lot and even the war in Ukraine would be affected. Hospitalizations looks to be going down, so that's good (assuming it tracks like before), but the more the virus churns out there, the more variants we get. Guess we'll see. 

Our elites still trying to point elsewhere so that we don't see how bad we're doing here. So besides the covid deaths in China they're now talking about population numbers. As Dean Baker says, they have no basis for that analysis. The only thing I can think of is that they turn into a gerontocracy like our country and start making horrible decisions just like us.
