Covid-19 has killed 439,536 people in the US so far. This is nearly 9 times as many people as influenza killed in 2018, the most recent year with finalized data. Covid-19 is NOT a flu; the virus that causes Covid-19 is a coronavirus, meaning that Covid-19 is related to colds, not flu, although it is much more serious.
No, there was no conspiracy to create a pandemic to hurt Trump. However, the leftist adage of "Never let a crisis go to waste" is very much in operation here. The pandemic created the perfect opportunity for the left to fabricate the narrative that Trump's handling of the pandemic was incompetent. And this narrative was eaten up by both the left and the right. The left made memes demonstrating how stupid Trump and his supporters are, and some on the right picked up the conspiracy theories that Covid-19 is nothing, that no one really dies of Covid-19, etc. And the conspiracies provided more material for the memes. Those who fell for the conspiracies and misinformation hurt Trump just as much as any vile leftist could hurt him.
Your Covid posts are fear porn at its worst.
The average US citizen (under age 75) is about as likely to die of Covid as they are to die in an auto accident.
That count can only be understood correctly if the concept of "comorbidities" is included. We don't count flu and Covid deaths the same way at all.
Well isn't that special? Would you please calm the F down?!. . .as if we need more COVID hysteria? We get it, believe me. . but excuse us if we choose not to join you in the fetal position under your desk in the basement.
And here's another thing. . .could you take your COVID hysteria to a relevant thread and bloviate there, please. My brief COVID reference was a throw-away line pertaining to a totally different discussion.
I guess it also demonstrates that even though someone may be an ex Dem, they still may struggle with basic logic when their emotions take control.
That's the number being widely reported.
The data was deliberately and maliciously skewed by counting anyone who died WITH Covid-19 as having died OF Covid-19.
No one knows the actual Covid-19 toll.
"Never let a crisis go to waste"
And the corollary, if there isn't a crisis handy, manufacture one!
