This is a powerful visual.
I wish there were some way to say "thirty 9/11s" without someone taking that as some sort of attack on them either, as that's also a powerful way to frame this tragedy.
There should be interviews with people who lost family from all walks of life, ages and all areas of the country too.

If we had a competent, compassionate, capable President we would be able to process this as a nation. Instead we fend for ourselves as the President seeks to divide us for his personal gain.
Obama rose to the occasion, with the utmost compassion, after so many tragedies.
I do love the replies though. "...by voting for Biden!"
What a thing to say after a day of golfing. He needs to fuck off to the sun already.
I'm furious all the time. But even if it won't make a difference I'm glad to see a spotlight on the people we've lost.
He won't care one bit, and of course he'll call it fake news, then lean into how it impacts him.
There are a lot of people in this forum (including myself) who have serious egg on their faces from underestimating just how fast and wide this virus would spread.
It's horrifying, and it's horrifying how most of these deaths could have been prevented.
What's also sad is how many people just don't give a shit. They care more about being able to get a haircut or their nails done.
We'll likely be over the WW1 deaths by the end of next week or the week after.
Emotional intelligence goes a long way.
Being compassionate now has a liberal bias. It's fucking bullshit.
Just the fact that Trump will see this as an attack says it all.
I don't think people should beat themselves too much for not realizing how fast and how wide this virus would spread. But seeing how the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress have responded to this should make all of our blood boil.
Meanwhile people out there STILL think this was overblown, even with the measures taken. Absolute insanity.
Well, let's cut him a break on tweeting. Let's see what he is up to:
Ohh.
Alex Jones is asking for war with China so Trump is maybe a week out from it.
yes the 2019-2029 flu season by the CDC are 24k-62k deaths (flu season is done too) Covid-19 is already estimated at 100k and rising but once this is over we'll see that's probably underestimated based on excessive deaths being substantially up in many states even when you account for reported Covid-19 deaths.
My first thought is that the families of those listed there are about to receive daily death threats.
Which is why I found it insane when the shutdown talks first started and the death toll was under 100, people were comparing it to Swine Flu, "over 12,000 people died from Swine Flu and nothing was shut down!!!!"
Idiots were comparing a few weeks of data to a full year and just a couple months late we're at 100,000 deaths with no real slowdown in sight.
And then it quickly goes downhill into a cesspool of supporting him.
It's hard not to feel hopeless.

Yes. The people that kept saying "oh but the flu kills more" were more myopic than a cross eyed squirrel.

great ad
This is definitely going to be an infamous NYT front page. Powerful.
And I will never stop beating this drum until it sinks into the public conscious: A vast majority of these deaths were preventable if the Trump administration acted appropriately back when they knew this was coming in NOVEMBER of last year. They did nothing. There is blood on his hands.

Biden camp has been cutting some really great ads.
In just a couple months and with quarantining. People are fucking nuts if they think this thing is over just because GOP politicians are demanding everything open back up.
That's not enough to even cover the number of people currently dying each day, let alone trying to reflect everyone who has died.
Fuck this is so horrible to witness and this all could have been prevented or at least, comparatively minimized. And of course, Trump doesn't give a shit; he went golfing again!

Really good spot. They have a talented trailer editor (or team of editors there). And the messaging is really good.
There's definitely fearmongering around China flying around. A lot of people still haven't grasped or refuse to grasp that China isn't the epicenter anymore.
Fake news am I right? Mu freedums > your snowflake "safety".
These morons have made wearing a face mask a partisan thing ffs!! I wish that they were somehow tagged so when they do get sick they get a kick in the ass reality their stupidity won them a "will not offer medical care" card.

Nah, his toxicity would cause the sun to go Red Giant, thus killing us all.

I had a track from the anime Flowers of Evil playing when I clicked play, and it was eerie how well it matched up. But yeah no surprise, party of projection.
One of my managers who just got furlough said to be "...there was a time where a lot of people died in the past and things were not shut down like this..."
He was likely referencing the Spanish flu and for some reason doesn't understand why things had to be shut down. I don't know if he realizes that if no preventions were taken then maybe we would have millions then and then what? Would that be better in his view to start shut downs? These people man. No regards for their fellow man.

Seeing this front page only reignited a palpable sense of rage in me...
That we've gotten to 100,000 deaths with so few communal displays of mourning is such a "masks off" moment for me. I'm not religious but, wow, the response to this really exposes the sham of religion. It's so inadequate.
That this has been mainly a political and economic story instead of being recognized as one of the great American tragedies is infuriating to me. Talks of returning to business feel so distasteful.
I think the general lack of respect for these victims in the media to date might have permanently broken my ability to take seriously any such symbolic displays.
