This puts today's US death toll at 5,985. so far.

Those deaths occurred over the last 30 or so days but I guess it’s not feasible to have everyone update their old numbers.

Small chance of that...
I can't wait for the Trump v Biden debates where we have two senile boomers rambling on about poo poo.
(there won't be any debates)

People are worried about Biden's mind but Trump is just as bad. Trump will survive until November on pure spite alone though.

The fact that the WHO backs totally unscientific traditional Chinese "medicine" isn't going to help them. Not that Trump isn't a clown for cutting the WHO's funding over COVID-19, but they absolutely aren't an impartial/evidence based organization, unfortunately.

Trump isn't defunding the WHO for TCM or anything similar, he's simply trying to find a scapegoat. Defunding the WHO in this time of crisis is an extremely stupid and dangerous move. Just because the WHO once said something you don't like doesn't mean defunding it now is a great idea.

they have a bunch of issues that suck because they have to lick various countries boots for them to exist(china/US/probably KSA/etc) and they have dumb opinions at times but this is the worst time to do it and the worst way.

Even without the additional deaths, today's toll is over 2,300 which is the highest ever.

And the team they were playing. And so all the games those two teams were gonna play for the next two weeks are forfeited and so they’re out of the playoffs now.

I really don't want more people to die. But at the same time I feel that if another country somehow outpaces the USA for total deaths then it will lead to Republicans declaring victory for not being the worst hit country anymore.

Fighting leagues will be able to come back because their owners have absolutely zero scruples about risking the lives of the talent and there are no players unions to oppose them. Also they can make do only having a couple people out there at once performing. And if someone tests positive they can remove
them and keep on chugging because the schedule is just all made up bullshit and can change at a whim. There are no standings or stuff that means anything.

But team sports are orders of magnitude more difficult to get going again for a ton of obvious reasons. And if someone tests positive shows over the entire season falls apart.
