At this point in time 1.45% of all Americans have become infected by COVID-19 in just the last 30 days. (5.3M)
And the Thanksgiving infections have yet to hit.
Sweet dreams, COSOnaughts!

Yesterday there were 19,396 people in an ICU. Mortality rates for these people is about 77%. That means that 14,935 of these people will die. If nobody went into the hospital as of today, we would still exceed 280K deaths. 5% of the total COVID deaths will be from people presently in the hospital. 1 out of 20.
And....infections are getting worse, not better.

Just saw this COVID-19 trend in Canada following Canadian Thanksgiving. If you think it's bad now in the US......

This is the history of Testing, Hospitalizations and Deaths. While the positive tests are greatly outpacing the historical hospitalizations, we're still exposed to a massive uptick in daily death rates in the very near future. Hospitalizations are greater than at any time in this pandemic's history. And, unless therapies are getting much better, this is going to get ugly very soon. https://bit.ly/COVIDUSStates

COVID-19 Death projections are probably going to exceed 1600/day within 10 days.
This data was pulled from Johns Hopkins and processed by me.
The green arrows show the relative ratios on this chart. The period we are entering far exceeds the prior peak and cases are not slowing.

Our Nation's soul will be revealed today.
Are we a good people?
Are we a terrible people?
At the core of my anxiety is my attachment to my country for my identity. Someone else is deciding my identity, and I don't like it.
Solution: Break those bonds.
It is OK to observe your citizenship and continue to uphold the values instilled in the Constitution; Even fight for them.
But if the populace degrades to immoral values, there is no obligation to identify with them.

538 has Biden over 50% in Georgia in a recent uptick in polling averages and other factors influencing their algorithm. Odds are in Biden's favor at 57%.
Given Ossof's strong debate performance, they may also get a D senator.

@th3j35t3r, hello. I signed up to support you by Patreon, but it looks like it didn't make me a Pro user. Is that payment channel linked to my account, or should I re-direct my subscription to CS Pro instead?

Correction: Deaths lag Hospitalizations by 3 weeks.
(duh!)

Brace yourselves.
Hospitalizations seem to lag Deaths by 3 weeks. The nadir of the Hospitalization curve was about 3 weeks ago.

16 out of Biden's 87-out-of-100 chances to win are where he loses FL. Therefore, 45* can win FL 29 out of the 100 most probable scenarios and still lose. But, if 45* loses FL, he doesn't win.

Biden now has the highest spread on the approval ratings at 10.5 points. 45*, at 41.8%, is approaching his lowest average approval which occurred on July 8th and was 41.1%.

I counted 14 scenarios where Biden looses FL and still wins the election. There is roughly a 1-in-4 chance that FL will fall to 45*. Biden presently has 51.3% in FL with 5% undecided.

Those ‘Doomsday Planes’ ... Trump's .. Test: Middlebury Institute's Lewis says. "They just don’t think about that, because that seems crazy. And so when something happens and people look and they see the normal readiness level they think to themselves, 'Oh my God, this must be a catastrophe, because why would you have all these forces on alert?!' But Trump getting sick didn’t cause this. This is what it’s like all the time, and if you don’t like that then maybe that’s a conversation to have."

I would like to propose a new term to replace "Racism". "Groupism" calls out the same, twisted logic that assigns an irrelevant attribute to the entire group. Racism is a subset of Groupism. We're seeing groupism applied to Dems, R's, Libs, Conservatives, Catholics, Protestants, Californians and Politicians. If the group is defined by the attribute - such as Blondes have blonde hair - that is not groupism. Racism is Groupism applied to a race. Notice how the RNC rhetoric is groupist.

Most of the radicals I've encountered do not have the ability to deconstruct complex concepts into more simple components. It's always one big issue. They gut-check it because that's the only tool they have and trust. Therefore, arguing is a pointless exercise.

17. Like-minded state governors establish groups to pool resources and coordinate efforts
18. These new groups give themselves a name
19. Citizens of these new state-groups begin to use that name to differentiate themselves from those with opposing values
20. The federal government runs out of cash, with the currency now highly devalued, and cannot afford to enforce its influence over the groups of states

13. The federal government re-purposes its forces on compliant states with populations with similar values as the leadership
14. State governors establish boarder checks to mitigate the catastrophic condition in violation of the Constitution
15. Federal courts rule against the states
16. State governors with boarder checks ignore the Federal court
