17 9/11's per day now

As someone who tracks the numbers and mathematical functions of this plague *(for my own amazement and amusement), I thought it might be interesting for folks to realize that with today's numbers, we have reached the impact rate on Amercans of 17 9/11 events Per day. every day. And growing. (Not fatalities yet. I mis-posted earlier in my dispair over this administrations treatment of our citizens). Thus far, in fatalities, we have amassed 43 9/11's worth of dead.

So when the Trump Humpers tell you that we need to open the economy wide, and sorry about a few old folks, remind him, this is 43 9/11's worth of dead, so far and 17 9/11's per day in impacted people. Every day. And growing.
