Actually I think what TwoWrights is describing is foresight
You are, of course, correct. What flummoxed me was, politician and shown to be correct, in the same sentence.
2020 is the deadliest year in US history - and is attributed mostly to the coronavirus pandemic.
The US is on course to surpass 3.2 million overall deaths in 2020, according to preliminary data, which would mark the first time figures have topped three million.
A rise in deaths between 20,000 and 50,000 is not unusual due to the country's ageing and growing population - but the increase this year is thought to be closer to 400,000.
This sort of increase - a jump of around 15% from 2019 - would mark the biggest single-year percentage leap since 1918, when hundreds of thousands of lives were lost due to the First World War and Spanish flu.

Daughter's supposed to be working for me today, but she's sat at home waiting for the results of Grandson's COVID test yesterday (Humber Bridge testing centre was rammed at 8.00am), they told her results were coming back within 24 hours now, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
One of my colleagues was told 24 hours. Ended up being around 28 hours. That was last Tuesday.
Last month junior was a couple of hours over and I was a couple under, both negative
I don't know what the precise testing structure is but if they're using the more reliable PCR method there is always an additional delay in transferring samples to the lab and, after testing, in distributing the results. Even in the slickest of organisations it is really difficult to achieve reporting results back within 24 hours. Fingers crossed there won't be an excessive delay for you. Hopefully the tests are being run locally and not in one of the remote "lighthouse" Lacs.
Their levels are not all that different to ours, and they're due for a 6 week lockdown.
The post-Christmas lockdown will effectively see a curfew introduced across Northern Ireland for a week, with shops closed and gatherings banned after 8pm.
