They don't call them Trumpanzees for nothing. While they will spread the virus most of the victims of their spreading will be other MAGAts. The deaths from the Spring break surge is a week or so away. The current US COVID-19 death toll of 568,895 will climb past 570,000 by the end of the week. COVID will become endemic among humans but it will remain epidemic among MAGAts,
The current mortality rate, based on reported cases, is 2.5%, according to Johns Hopkins. The CDC estimates this percentage would be far lower if it included people who are infected but unaware. Asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 are very common, and if those cases were included, the CDC predicts the mortality rate would be closer to 0.65%.
Even if we go with the lower figure we can be happy knowing that more than 1 in 200 people die from COVID-19. Given the fact that MAGAts are often swag-bellied gluttonous smokers the death rate for them will be closer to 1 in 100.

‘I won’t wear that diaper on my face!’ said woman.
A woman in Galveston, Texas was arrested at a bank on Thursday for refusing to wear a mask — one day after Gov. Greg Abbott lifted the statewide mandate which was imposed eight months ago to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
“Removing statewide mandates does not end personal responsibility,” said Abbott earlier this month. “It’s just that now state mandates are no longer needed,” he said.
65-year-old Terry Wright entered a Bank of America and refused to wear a face covering. Staffers reportedly asked Wright to respect the rules of business or vacate the premises. When she refused, police were called and their confrontation with the woman was captured on police bodycam.
“What are you going to do, arrest me?” she said to a police officer, according to The Washington Post.
“The law says that I do not have to wear a mask,” Wright insisted. She explained that she was there to make a withdrawal. An officer said she had to wear a mask to do so, just as bank management requested, or she would have to leave the bank.
In video of the incident, an officer tells the woman, “Ma’am, listen, we can do this the easy way or the hard way.” Wright’s refusal to comply resulted in her being wrestled to the ground, handcuff and arrested.
“Police brutality right here, people,” she said at the customers waiting in line, many of whom vocalized their disapproval of her no-mask stance.
Wright’s defiance reportedly resulted in her being charged with criminal trespass and resisting arrest. Police issued a statement noting that they responded to the bank’s call about criminal trespass and that the department is not enforcing mask-wearing.
In an interview Friday with Eyewitness News, Wright said she had stopped in Galveston as part of an RV road trip and was at the bank to close her account.
She said she is “very opposed” to masks and doesn’t believe the coronavirus pandemic is a real threat.
“I won’t wear that diaper on my face!” she told ABC13.

Wright said she was “attacked” by police, who confirmed she “sustained minor injuries” and was taken to the University of Texas Medical Branch Health in Galveston to be treated. However, Wright claims she suffered multiple fractures. She also noted that people “can’t cancel me, I’m retired.” She told The Washington Post that she plans to call police on Monday.
“I feel like I took one for the team, because people need to wake up,” she said.
In response to the incident, the bank issued a statement on its mask policy.
“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other medical experts continue to reinforce the importance of using face coverings and practicing physical distancing in all public spaces,” said spokeswoman Carla Molina. Customers who do not want to wear a mask are advised to use ATMs or drive-through windows.
My Op Ed: This cunt was a threat to everyone in that Galveston bank someone in the bank should have killed her on the spot. Luckily the cop got her out of the bank fairly quickly but he was exposed to her germs and so was his patrol car.
