'Unthinkable tragedy': U.S. COVID-19 death toll surpasses 1 million

One million Americans have now died from the coronavirus, according to an announcement made Thursday by President Joe Biden, marking a long-dreaded milestone for an incomprehensible tragedy.

"Today, we mark a tragic milestone: one million American lives lost to COVID-19. One million empty chairs around the dinner table. Each an irreplaceable loss. Each leaving behind a family, a community, and a nation forever changed because of this pandemic. Jill and I pray for each of them," Biden said in a statement. "As a nation, we must not grow numb to such sorrow. To heal, we must remember."

“Died of covid or died of not receiving the proper care for covid?”

THAT is one question!

Last month Mom went to the hospital with diverticulitis, and was admitted. The next day she was advised that she had Covid. (She demanded, “Prove it!” Those tests aren’t accurate.) How convenient for them! A 98-year-old lady under their complete control. They could see dollar signs. Overall, she was in pretty good shape under the circumstances, was not Covid-sick.

They were not giving her “proper care” as you put it. The longer she was in captivity, denied visitors (even Pastor and physicians at the hospital who are family members) the more she declined. They gave her Remdesivir without telling ANYONE. Most likely a ventilator was on standby. It was NOT looking good.

We all called several times a day. Then the next time my sister called the doctor she advised him that her career had been in Medical Malpractice Insurance (true), and that her husband had been in top administration at a Johns Hopkins facility (true). Before she hung up, she didn’t say, “Please don’t let my mother die”. Instead, it was, “DO. NOT. KILL. MY. MOTHER!”

A miracle occurred. She was home two days later.

None of us believe she had Covid but they were going to make darn sure she GOT it. Brought in a room-mate who had a bad case.

Another question: Died OF Covid or died WITH (alleged) Covid?

When it comes to numbers coming from the RATs in DC, everyone knows they cook the books.

No one believes this with an ounce of common sense.

I agree. One million "COVID deaths" is meaningless to me without some context.

I would ask what the mortality rate has been pre and post COVID. Has it gone up significantly? Or are we just attributing deaths to COVID that we used to attribute to other causes (such as diabetes, heart disease, pneumonia or just plain old age).

I would be interested to see how the overall mortality percentage has changed post-COVID. I would suspect that the overall mortality percentage has not changed all that much.

The funeral homes in my area don't seem to be any busier than usual, for example. Bodies aren't exactly getting stacked out in the streets.

It sure paid off classifying every single death as a Fauci/China biological warfare virus death.

Died OF Covid or died WITH (alleged) Covid?...

Back during the height of the plandemic, Dr. Birks made the statement that if a person passed away from anything and tested positive for covid would be counted as a covid death.

There was a case in Colorado where there was a murder suicide of a meth head couple. Cause of death: Covid.

My 83 year old mother inlaw ended up in the hospital from a fall. While there she developed pnuemonia. She passed 2 weeks later. Death certificate listed pnuemonia/covid.

The compassionate person cannot help but grieve for the countless lives lost due to the Left’s desire to drive up death counts in order to declare international emergencies and seize new power.

When you think about this, don’t leave out our medical and legal establishment who played a critical role in the deliberate killings and the protection of the killers and who continue to do so today. Very few of those entrusted to safeguard the health and human rights of our population stood up against the tyranny and still refuse to do so today.

Take these people, groups and corporations off of their pedestals and recognize them for the odious class of people, groups and corporations that they are - punish their actions.

The Chinese Communist, media-driven pandemic is now two years and five months old. The media "million mark" headline is proof that this is a media event. More "official" deaths have occurred under Biden than Trump, but the media does not observe this data point. This is all the more evident as the ABC article speaks about Trump minimizing numbers early on, while ignoring Fauci did the same. ABC also ignores BIden's boast that he would end the pandemic. This is a media event, pure and simple.

JHU "global deaths" as of today are 6,258,724, in a world of 7,946,506,556 people.

( 6,258,724 "global deaths" in 29 months / 7,946,506,556 ) x 100 = 0.079 percent mortality rate "from" and "with" Covid-Schwab-Reset.

Thus worldwide, the Covid-Schwab-Reset pandemic has been survived by 99.921 percent of the global population. This will not be reported in the worldwide press, because it dilutes the "unthinkable tragedy."

It appears that, thanks to Traitorfauci’s funding (using US tax dollars), the ChiComs have a good start on producing gain-of-function, race-specific infectious disease viruses.

If this info is from the CDC, I would expect that the info is full of lies to advance the agenda.

Died of being denied access to safe therapeutics. Died of being trapped in rest homes with infected persons.

+++++++++++++

Also known as “murder” & “democide”.

Estimates by doctors who actually TREATED COVID patients early and kept them out of the hospital COVID death wards, are that 85 to 95% would have survived if given early treatments that proved to work in their practices. I saw comments by a doctor (Tyson) last night, whose survival rate was 99%+, including patients with comorbidities, that 95 to 99% could have been saved.

People responsible for this mass murder on the front end need to ‘swing’ and I mean that literally. When people find out that they’ve been given poison death shots, one very reasonable doctor predicted that many will not be waiting for the rule of law to provide the justice they seek.

“My 83 year old mother inlaw ended up in the hospital from a fall. While there she developed pnuemonia. She passed 2 weeks later. Death certificate listed pnuemonia/covid.”

Absolutely disgusting!! They are ghouls and murderers. So sad about your MIL’s passing. Aren’t you pissed off about that every day?

Mom survived in spite of their best efforts to let her go (MAKE her go?). My sister-in-law who she lives with learned how to administer IV via a port for the antibiotics she needed for the diverticulitis at home. Otherwise, they’d have detained her and who knows what would’ve happened...

Now she has lunch with friends, goes to church, etc., and is fine. She never had Covid, but nice try on the hospital’s part.

Not sure why its “unthinkable.” The Spanish Flu took out the equivalent of about 5 million between 1918-1921.

We can debate the origins of Covid and the stupid policies...but the once in a generation/100 years pandemic can be brutal on an urban economy. It is very “thinkable” and very predictable.

Folks saying it isn’t are either being disingenuous or just plain ignorant.

That propaganda statistic needs a thorough audit to remove false attribution and the effect of a junk test. And Fauci clones must be banned from the audit. If Republicans can ever return to power, such an audit needs to move to the top of their list.

From or with.

You know how they computed this?? They took the number of deaths from a few previous years...and any excess was deemed to be death by Covid.

In other words, there is no real count, never was and never will be. Regardless, the death rate has remained unchanged since the beginning. (Except the rate for the ones that Cuomo killed.)
