If Governor Retarded woodchuck wouldn’t have stuck covid patients into nursing homes, our numbers would have been a lot lower

Israel is about the same size and population as NJ. Israel’s CV death toll is under 300.

Gov. Smurphy is a total retard. The state run media NJ.com is pure propaganda. South Jersey has to pay for the sins of North Jersey. The state needs to break in half.

Our county here in Texas has had 21 total cases -- with 19 recovered, and the remaining expected to do so. NO DEATHS.

Any surprise that folks west of the Mississippi (excepting a few Indian reservations and nursing homes) are having a hard time getting excited about this "plague"?

That one dark blot at the top of the Texas Panhandle is Moore County [910 sq miles], pop 22,000, (County seat: Dumas -- whose police chief just died.)

That gives it a cases per thousand figure of 25

I live in Ocean County NJ and work in the ER of a hospital down here. I’ve been saying here for weeks this has all been way over blown. We’re being had.

The rest of the world doesn’t matter outside of New York City.

People can’t understand the difference between number and rate.

Why do you think the death counts have been going down?

Because this thing simply wasn’t as bad as they predicted it would be. In 2017 some 60,000 Americans died of the common cold. I would say the quarantine helped but people were still coming in contact with each other in many ways. I work in an ER so I was exposed but didn’t develop symptoms.

The many of elderly in NYC died because those poor souls had weakend immune systems. Cuomo should be held accountable for what he did. Talk about stupid.

I really think we’ll continue to see a reduction and by the end of next month. maybe in the middle of next month this thing will sputter out.
