Maybe with enough government intervention, we can eliminate all deaths.

So this flu is good thing (sarc) killing off a bunch of us old farts who draw on the system, keeping the insurance companies costs down. Controlling the population by convincing them to stay home.

It’s all good.

There are multiple columns to total up. You'll have to add the COVID deaths and the COVID / Pneumonia deaths together but even that doesn't get you to 67,000.

I don’t know of anyone that has this crap. I don’t even know anyone that knows anyone that knows anyone that has it either. I’ve made it a point to ask family,friends,former business associates,man on the street(no kidding) and nothing. I refuse to wear a mask. It makes me feel like we’re in China and I refuse to don the mask. We’re supposed to live in an advanced healthy country and the Rats want to imulate turd world societies. Fuq that.

Per the official NY CCV data, over 600 of the CCV deaths were people over 90 years old WITH dementia.

If you are in a hospital/Hospice for something else... heart diseases, Brain Cancer, Lung Cancer, stroke and you get CCV and die, you are counted as a CCV death. Period.

Birx even said so.

To me, the interesting numbers are the pneumonia vs covid-19 deaths both nationally and by state. In most states, the numbers make sense, in that they’re much higher for pneumonia (as it should be). But in NY, NJ, MI, they’re about the same. Something isn’t right there. Over-reporting of covid-19 or underreporting of pneumonia?

I’ve read suicides are up.
32 mil unemployed. Add a spouse and a kid and you’ve got 100mil people, one third of the population, whose lives have been destroyed by the government. Just think, it only took the government 6wks to do this. ...wonder what they can do when you give them another 6wks?

Oh no....Cuomo didn't kill enough folks.

And he JUST ordered the buses and trains to be cleaned?? That should have been the very FIRST thing done. Wonder how many he killed with that blooper.

My cousin had it. Elderly with asthma. It slammed him for a few days like a bad case of the flu would , but not enough to require hospitalization

He doesn’t know how he contracted it since he was already working from home but he made a trip to Walgreens to pick up a subscription and concluded that’s the only place he could’ve caught it

and after two weeks he’s 95% back to normal can work outside, can work from home, can run his business

We know of one other case, back in the Northeast the 100+ mother of my wife’s hairdresser. as far as we know she is still with us

I agree with you this whole thing has been greatly over blown

I refuse to wear a mask.

Refuse all you want, but if you were in some states {PA where I live} you could not get into any store to buy food, beer, etc.

The merchants will keep you out, not the gummint {directly}.

It sucks, but unless you have everything you need to exist, or have it delivered, you will put a mask on.

I now wear an orange bandana, even though I have a couple of never used M-95 masks from my garage.

The orange mask came from a liquor company and I used a black permanent marker to write TRUMP, 2020 on it.

I get a lot of thumbs up and a lot heads turning away in disapproval.

I don't give a fat rat's ass, since I never put that mask on, without at least one pistol with me.

I will not go into any place with a "Gun-Free Zone" sign on the door.

Only with a permanent lockdown.

You can die in bed.

The only time there is no risk of dying is when you are dead.

Vehicles, work accidents, heart attacks are probably all down. I expect a spike in suicides soon and a spike in drug and alcohol related deaths, although some of those take a while to occur.

I just got my Trump 2020 mask. I’ve only worn it once so far to Home Depot. Govt. Rules.

Got an enthusiastic “Great mask” from a young girl who works there. She’s about 18 and comments on my Trump hat whenever I’m there.

Nice to see young kids not snowed by the culture.
