2. In early March I had posted my prediction of about 50,000 deaths from covid-19

My prediction will be closer to reality than all the doctors and "experts" who were predicting minimum 100,000 deaths all the way up to 250,000 deaths in USA.

I was flamed mercilessly for my prediction. Now I feel better having been closer to the reality. I heard yesterday the latest estimate by "experts" is 60,000 deaths.

The Orange One will crow about his great success at not killing two to four times that many!

The point is not if deaths are good or bad, they are ALL BAD.

My point again is, since you ignored it, my prediction will be closer to truth than all the experts surrounding Trump.
There was no need to flame me in early March for simply posting my prediction.

I was never thinking that you meant "only" - that was a reference to what HE will say.

I am horrified by what is happening and, sadly, I agree with your prediction.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

On Edit: I just reread my post and realized that I must have left out "The Orange One" in my reference. Again, sorry.

... NO ONE ... will get into a crowd, go to work, go outside without phone etc etc.

There is no return to normality without mass testing.

What we're doing that is novel is anti body testing
