It seems appropriate since this is Memorial Day weekend to write a blog post in memory of the roughly 100,000 innocent, dead American victims of the Corona Virus or Covid 19 whichever you prefer.  At this point, I have not known any of the victims although I do  have a great niece in Indiana who is battling the virus after contracting it in a nursing home which reportedly has an 80% positive rate among the staff and clients.  What is truly sad about that is that it is not terribly unusual in the nursing home industry.  The virus has killed astounding numbers of people, both clients and staff, in nursing and long term care facilities.  I know of another nursing home in a very rural county in Eastern Kentucky which has similar infection rates with several deaths including one staff person.  But the truly horrible aspect of this whole pandemic is that the great majority of these deaths were preventable if any appropriate actions had been taken by the federal government in January and February after the White House was notified that the pandemic was coming and could destroy the county.  For two months in January and February 2020, not one thing was done to stop the virus until we actually had cases and deaths and at that point it was far too late to act with any hope of stopping the spread.  It is highly likely that we will hit 150,000 US deaths by the end of June 2020 and the total number of deaths may well reach a quarter million before the pandemic runs its course or a fully tested, ethically produced vaccine can be created, manufactured in large enough numbers, and administered to those of us who are lucky enough to have survived to that point.  And at this point, the TRAITOR who illegally occupies the White House is unethically, irrationally, and indefensibly fast tracking some choice vaccine efforts in which he may well have a vested interest just as he has attempted to promote Hydroxychloroquine in spite of its well documented ineffectivness against Covid 19 and its equally well documented risks of heart disease and increased deaths.  In fact, hydrosychloroquine is no more effective against the Corona Virus than is the combination of injected disinfectants this TRAITOR also promoted.  This TRAITOR fired the entire pandemic response team more than two years ago simply because the team had been created by President Obama.  Nothing he has ever done has been rational, ethical, or in the best interests of the country, the world, or the human race.  He has totally ignored, belittled, verbally abused, and vilified the best scientist alive while claiming to know a great deal when in fact he knows nothing, cares nothing, accepts no personal responsibility for his TREASON, assorted other crimes, and ignorance in general.  Every one of these 100,000 deaths from Covid 19 to date are on his head and his hands.  Let's remember each of these 100,000 innocent victims and all those victims still to come until this TRAITOR can be removed the scene of his nearly four year crime spree to date.  These innocent victims deserve to be honored, remembered, defended, and their final sacrifice must be dealt with by the American justice system against the perpetrator of this disaster.
