>When the lame duck president speaks about the pandemic, he only further undermines scattershot efforts to contain it. That Trump skipped out of a side-session focused on pandemic preparedness with world leaders at the G20 virtual gathering on Saturday surprised no one. It's unlikely he was missed. All the while, states and cities around this country reported record-high numbers of infections as hospitalizations mounted -- setting off alarm bells over a collapse of an overwhelmed health care system.

>Here’s the fantasy: if we stop the shutdowns, the economy will naturally bounce back to its oh-so wunnerful perfection of Q3 2019. This is a double-dose of magical thinking and denial. The U.S. economy was unraveling in 2019 from 11 long years of Fed-induced over-capacity in almost everything (except integrity, competition, transparency and social cohesion) and the bone-crushing burden of corrupt, greedy cartels that have the nation by the throat.

>*Negligent homicide* has a specific meaning in the law books. The standards of proof and categories of offense vary from state to state. But the essence is: Someone died because someone else did not exercise reasonable care.
>An adult leaves loaded weapons where children can find them. A factory owner or amusement-park operator ignores the safety standards for their equipment. A motorist in a hurry, or heading back from a bar, roars through a school-crossing zone full of children. A parent leaves an infant “just for a few minutes” in a car with rolled-up windows on a baking-hot day. Prosecutors and juries draw the line between cases like these and murder, based mainly on intent. Did the person who caused the death actually mean to do harm? It’s a distinction that matters a lot to the defendant, but not to the victim. Whatever the legal outcome, a person who—except for another’s indifference to risks that should have been foreseen—would still be living and learning and loving, instead is dead.

I just can't help but remember the COVID Karens saying 200k deaths was a best-case scenario if we did absolutely everything they demanded 8 months ago, and the likely death toll would be millions in the US alone. Now that we're seeing deaths in their best-case range with haphazard compliance, they say these numbers are unacceptable.

That was Dr. Birx, not "the Karens":

https://politicalwire.com/2020/03/30/100k-to-200k-deaths-is-best-case-scenario/

But anyway, we’re only in the early stage of the second wave. Depending on where you draw the dividing line between first wave and second wave, 200k-250k died in the first wave. Adjusting for population growth, that’s roughly comparable to the 75k-78k killed during the first wave of the 1918 pandemic. The second wave killed 300,000 which would be about 900,000 now, adjusting for inflation. Of course back then, no vaccine was developed.
