That almost certainly means that more death will follow. According to data from health and human services, one in three hospitals nationwide reached 90 icu capacity last week. Keep in mind that doesnt just affect covid patients, it affects people who need emergency help, pregnant moms. The effects on our Health System are far and wide. Heres a sobering warning now from the director of the cdc. We are in the time frame now that probably for the next 60 to 90 days, were going to have more deaths per day than we had in 9 11 or pearl harbor.

It is tuesday, october 2nd. Im Ayman Mohyeldin alongside Hallie Jackson. President trump rallied in tennessee last night and accused democrats of trying to sink Brett Kavanaghs nomination. This election is a choice between a Republican Party that is building our future and a Democrat Party that is trying to burn our future down.
