As the U.S. coronavirus death toll approaches 600,000, an @AP data analysis shows COVID-19 has proved adept at exploiting the nation's inequalities. Native Americans, Latinos and Black people are 2 to 3 times more likely than whites to die of the virus. https://t.co/EOTkuHFCZH

Vermont deserves kudos! But as a side note, while it’s not a wealthy state, its poor / uneducated people are white, which meant a lot less pushback on early, effective assistance from The Usual Suspects…
Congratulations #Vermnt!

This would be my mood right now, except I never trusted the expensively-educated upper-middle-class pundits in the first place…
almost none of you are to be trusted. the 600,000 dead people are the biggest tragedy, but the single biggest bolt of lightning is that when it comes to the real showdown i can trust almost none of you because you are soft, solipsistic assholes.
