    You posted this three days after Dylan released a “new” song. Am I the only one who immediately assumed the worst?

    Then again, that might be better than “We’re going to have 100-250K dead! I’m doing a MARVELOUS job!”

      Ken:

      Actually if the trajectory holds till the end of April, we will be looking at 1 million or there about. Read New Deal democrat on our site.

    run,

    That’s where my numbers are heading, too; I keep thinking LA, FL, OK, or MS will wise up. Then I look at people using OH as their exemplar.

    I just keep hoping I’ll end up being wrong–and every time I look at the data another way, I know that’s a forlorn hope.

      Ken:

      Our kids (mine are older) will be talking about this as well as their children just like my dad would talk about the Great Depression.

    By this time next month, the worst will be over. By June all the shutdowns will be gone.

    Ken,
    the day before yesterday Germany had almost as many recoveries as new cases. That is a sign there is still hope. Don’t look at Spain though, it is depressing.

    I enjoy that video but my favorite is their version of the Del Shannon classic “ Runaway”. It even includes a little footage of Del performing the song in the 60’s.
