Dear Reader:

Worldometer (august14): More than 21 million cases and 760 thousands deaths worldwide. Over 5.4 million cases (over a quarter of the world’s cases) and almost 171 thousand deaths (over a quarter of the world’s deaths) are in the U.S. Over 55 thousand new cases and 1,284 new deaths in the U.S., yesterday, Aug 13.

This is the breakdown of new deaths in 25 of the U.S, states deaths yesterday, Aug 13, in descending order: 274 in Texas, 186 in California, 147 in Florida, 82 in Georgia, 66 in North Carolina, 42 in South Carolina, 41 in Louisiana, 36 in Arizona, 27 in Pennsylvania,  24 in Illinois, 24 in Tennessee, 24 in Ohio, 22 in Mississippi, 21 in Massachusetts, 16 in Michigan, 13 in New York, 12 in Washington, 11 in Virginia, 8 in Alabama, 5 in New Jersey, 2 in Hawaii, 1 in Wyoming, 0 in Vermont, Wyoming and Alaska.

The Washington Post, As he attacks mail-in votes, Trump and the first lady requested absentee ballots in Florida (Friday, Aug 14): “On Thursday, President Trump repeated his attacks against mail balloting, saying it would lead to ‘the greatest rigged election in history’ and ‘the greatest fraud ever perpetrated.’ At the same time, his own absentee ballot to vote in Florida primary election on Tuesday was en route..”-

– my comment: if you are wondering what does the President’s interest in the US elections have to do with the pandemic, the answer is: nothing at all: the President of the United States is concerned with winning- winning another 4 years as President because he is into Power and Winning. He has no concern for the pandemic other than how it affects his prospects of his very personal, self centered, very extremely selfish winning.
