More than just a number in a long tally.

The New York Times' front page depiction of the names of the dead was incalculable. It was gripping precisely because it was chilling.
A hundred thousand lives lost today. If that number does not give one goosebumps, I rest my case to the callousness. Not human.
Here are a few stories of those who died. Hu hu.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer pays tribute to those who have died of Covid-19 as the United States death toll surpasses 100,000. #CNN #News

Sometimes you can blame it on them that refuse to accept that this pandemic is really a killer of the population does not want to sacrifice some freedom at the moment. They refuse to wear masks, do not want quarantine and many more. They refuse all tjis in the hopes that the medical system would save them once they got it. I am sad for those that lost their lives there.

There was a young widow with six children. Those kids are orphans now. Hu hu.
The false leadership has much to do with the deaths. The trumpster led his people to their grave.

@eileenleyva And still defiantly saying they are doing a good job at that. Sad but it had put a lot of lives at stake in this pandemic. No war or weapons that can defeat the invisible killer and it does not discriminate whether your a superpower or not.

@rsa101 True. Knows no walls nor borders, this virus is. No rich, no poor.
The orange tinted fat kid at the White House has blood in his hands.

The pandemic didn't stop the thrill seekers. They were looking for the opportunity to kill.
Here's a clip on a chokehold from 2014 July, on Eric Garner. The one who took the video was his friend, they were about to go to dinner when his friend saw him cornered by the cops.
A grand jury decided not to indicte an NYPD police officer Wednesday.

Nope, not good at all.
This morning, the effect of the protestation has happened - more cases of infected people. Sigh. Prediction for September shows over two hundred mortality.
