It is being widely reported that the IMHE projections of US deaths by December 1 will be over 295K. But the projections are actually worse than that.
IMHE also projects that if there were mandated mask wearing, the total number of deaths could be reduced to over 228K. Still horrible, but 23% less than the mid-line projection.
But here is the horrible part: The IMHE also projects 391K deaths if mandates are eased. And, as we know, Trump and Republican governors are easing mandates.
Hogan has done that in Maryland with respect to allowing private schools in Montgomery County to open after the county health dept. had ordered them closed. Other states are far worse.

Of course Donald Trump thinks his supporters are ignorant and stupid. Why do you ask?
In 2017, he issued an executive order that broadened the types of health care plans that could be offered without covering pre-existing conditions. This effectively increased the cost of plans that covered pre-existing conditions.
Now, he's considering, well, we don't know what, perhaps another EO, to require plans to cover pre-existing conditions. To the extent that such rules are already in place due to the provisions of the ACA, such an action is not necessary.

This is a good short article on MLB's history of racism. One passage stands out: "In 1947, after Robinson joined the Dodgers and Larry Doby joined the Indians to become the first black player in the AL, the Sporting News ran another editorial on segregation:
'Once Again, That Negro Question.' It quoted an unidentified player who complained about the end of all-white teams: 'Let us not discriminate against the white player because he is white.'”
This, of course, is essentially the same as those who hear the slogan "Black Lives Matter" and complain "What about White Lives Matter."

On Monday, the Court of Appeals of Maryland (our highest court) issued an opinion dealing with the duty of a property owner to third-parties. The principle that it articulates may be more important that it first appears.
The case is Steamfitters Local Union No. 602 v. Erie Insurance Exchange.
While the opinion deals with a number of issues, this may be the most important passage (at slip. op. 43):
For at least the past 80 years, this Court has recognized that ownership, operation, and maintenance of property comes with a common law duty to use reasonable care so as not to cause harm to the neighboring property owners.
