We are relying on Donald Trump to provide us leadership. We are so screwed.

I need you look at this chart. Belatedly, we are taking dramatic steps to shut down, shelter in place, and essentially quarantine much of the country. Many of us are decisively socially distanced. All of this may well slash the death toll and mitigate the spread of the pandemic by "flattening the curve." But here's the thing... "by applying all that downward pressure on the curve — by canceling public gatherings, closing schools, quarantining the sick and enforcing social distancing — you elongate the curve, stretching it out over a longer period of time."




In other words: this thing won't be over the next few weeks or even months. Like the Spanish Flu, it could also make a deadly return in the fall.

This is where things get very dangerous. Look at the curve again and try to imagine where we will be in, say, October, in the midst of the presidential campaign.
