Was hoping. But since then, the numbers have been back up over 2,000 deaths each day for tuesday this week, wednesday, thursday, and now for today as well. It is just astonishing to be having that Many Americans killed every day now. More than 2,000 americans every day. But just look at how fast this thing has exploded. If you go back seven weeks ago to the last friday in february, that friday, february 28th, four americans had been killed by coronavirus. A week later, march 6th, it was 26 americans who had been killed. The week after that, march 13th, it was 55 americans dead. The week after that, march 20th, 247 americans dead. One week after that, we went from 247 to 1,574. And the month of april has just been astonishing since then. In that one week between friday, march 27th, and friday april 3rd, we went from about 1,500 americans dead to more than 7,000. By last friday, april 10, that number had more than doubled, and now since last friday we are having more than 2,000 americans
I would love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by easter. Easter is a very special day for me and i see it sort of in that timeline that im thinking about and i say wouldnt it be great to have all of the churches full . I think Easter Sunday and youll have packed churches all over our country. I think it would be a beautiful time and its just about the timeline that i think is right. Today images poured in from across the country of what easter looked like in the age of social distancing. And clearly, they are nothing like President Trump hoped they would be. And now as the president eyes another benchmark, 19 days away, the Washington Post reports one of the biggest obstacles to the virus response is trump himself. Advisors spent significant time to manage the president and his whims from successfully dissuading him from seeking to reopen the country at easter to tempering his impulse to push unproven drugs as miracle elixirs and we have a window how we arrived at th
Numbers had maybe hit their peak, and would start to consistently drop, thats obviously what everybody was hoping. But since then, the numbers have been back up over 2,000 deaths each day. Or tuesday this week, wednesday, thursday, and now, for today as well. Its just astonishing to be having that Many Americans killed every day now. More than 2,000 americans every day.

When i was in nursing school, i was talking to some friends, and we were going around the group discussing why we all signed up to be a nurse. And honestly, when i signed up for nursing school, i had these visions of myself working for a cosmetic dermatologist or something. You know, id go to work, and the real housewives would come in, and they would get a little facial filler and a lot of gossip, and wed have fun. And if you told me that just not too many years after i graduated that i would be living in a hotel in new york while i was putting bodies in body bags because this mysterious virus was mowing down everybodys grandparents, you know, i just how do you process that . And i didnt have to come, but it seemed to me i kind of did. Im like, well, if i dont come, who will, you know . But it does not make it any easier. Oh, and we got to call families, we got to call a family today, because, you know, families arent allowed in the room. Theyre not allowed in the building. And of cou

And gets them ready to be sent to the morgue. And they have me do this because i am the biggest one on the floor, and i can lift them easily in bed. So ive been ive been looking at a lot of faces. And i keep seeing my parents. And if you could, please, im 1,500 m
