United States Surpasses One Million COVID-19 Cases, GDP Falls 4.8%
Stephen Sorace, writing for Fox News:
The United States recorded 1 million coronavirus cases Tuesday, the first nation in the world to reach the grim milestone […]
The mounting infections across the U.S. come as the death toll exceeded 57,000, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University.
The coronavirus pandemic has slammed into the economy so hard the nation's GDP has fallen by 4.8 percent, bringing the longest economic expansion on record to an abrupt halt. […]
It's the steepest decline since the Great Recession, which ended in 2009.
None of this is surprising, given how well our federal government has handled this. Can you even imagine what people would be saying about Obama if Swine Flu, Ebola, or Zika had infected and killed so many Americans, or had caused the economy to fall into a tailspin like the one we’re experiencing now? Especially given that the president didn’t take the steps recommended to him by health officials in the early days, forced all of the hard decisions on to the governors, and still hasn’t been able to produce results when it comes to significantly boosting our capacity to test for the virus; there would’ve been legitimate calls for impeachment.
