We can be glad bammy isn't running this go round. He's the perfect candidate to usher in true communism in the country.

"I said the justification for increasing the speed was on point 3...it is actually in point 2. Once daily deaths level off then we are at the half way point for the crisis. If we are too “good” at preventing the spread then the duration of the crisis is extended and more people die for economic reasons."
