And on the third day... we all died

The Republican party is running a death cult. 

Even as nations from Britain to India declare nationwide economic lockdowns, President Trump said he “would love to have the country opened up, and just raring to go, by Easter,” less than three weeks away, a goal that top health professionals have called far too quick.

“I think it’s possible, why not?” he said with a shrug.

The purpose of this is to maintain the general terror under which most workers regularly are forced to accept oppressive or dangerous conditions for minimal pay and benefits.  It's what makes the world go round.

Adding:  How we square this timeline with reality in any way is beyond anyone's reason.

As the number of coronavirus cases in Louisiana continues to surge, Gov. John Bel Edwards warned federal officials the New Orleans area is on track to run out of its ability to deliver health care by April 4.

Edwards made the projection in a letter sent to the White House Monday, seeking a Major Disaster Declaration and federal aid to help Louisiana, which has one of the highest rates of coronavirus infections per capita in the U.S.

"With our current rate of new virus cases, our hospital current capacity to successfully treat infected patients will be exceeded," Edwards wrote. "For the New Orleans area, the current projections of hospitalizations significantly exceed capacity beginning on April 4, 2020."

Easter Sunday is April 12.

Anyway, if you succeed at not catching the virus, make sure you buckle your seat belt. Don't run with scissors or anything like that.  Be safe.
