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."

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no faith Republicans will do the right thing, in power or not. :(

You don’t have to but people died regardless of the cause.
Personally I don’t know of a single person that has died
from Covid. The families know they died from something.

No one would argue that people died between 2020 and 2022.

The question is how many from Covid? that is where the lie is.

The government (read Democrats) used Covid as a political weapon. It was to their advantage to have as large a number as possible to justify their unconstitutional response to the “pandemic”.

Regardless, the real outrage is that no one in power is interested in just where the virus originated. You’d think that would be a top priority. But no one seems to care. I guess Chinese influence trumps common sense.

My understanding is it came from one of the bio labs we outsourced to China.

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

*******

My dad was in his late teens going on twenty when that was
going on. None of the family died from it but they were in
the country with little contact with the mass populations.

Maybe it’s 200,000 OF COVID and 800,000 WITH COVID. It’s an important distinction that they always INTENTIONALLY fail to make. That 20%/80% split has popped up a number of times in analyses. The other important thing is age brackets. Deaths are heavily skewed to the elderly.

Yep started downsize it but didn’t. I guess it’s a
pain in the butt for all the hand held devices.

This report almost certainly so full of lies and false death attributions as to be completely useless. All they did was take flu deaths away and put them in the “COVID” column. There may have been a few COVID deaths but mostly they were people that the hospitals killed with Remdesivir and ventilators. A pox on them all.

My doctor treated my Covid with several drugs, to include IVM and HCQ. I was sick for about a week before going to see him, I believe on a Tuesday. During that week I dropped 30 pounds and was weak as hell.

Following his regimen, I was back to work the following Monday, though still weak. No big deal, I'm a bookkeeper...lol.

That map is almost certainly a graphic lie. And yet, people like you accept it as if it were gospel. Get it through your head: the CDC is NOT your friend, and they do NOT tell the truth.

And you are so gullible that you believe the Wuhan Flu was a “once in 100 years” pandemic.

Thanks a million and no I don’t or didn’t accept it as gospel.
That is your assumption of which you are full of crap.

I’m glad. There are a bunch on FR that do accept the CDC’s every word as gospel, though.

Depends some if the person actually died from Covid.

I don’t trust government numbers any more than I trust anything else the government tells me.

We KNOW the numbers have been jacked from the beginning, and with financial incentive to do so to boot.

I know of ONE person who died “from” Covid.

He was 85, had been a heavy smoker in his younger years, and was hospitalized at the time of death, so venting was likely happening and probably Remdesivir.

Once the hospital got hold of him, he didn’t stand a chance.

Yeah that’s one of the covid pushers dirty little tricks......dying FROM covid isn’t the same thing as dying WITH covid but I strongly suspect the count includes the died WITH covid deaths.

NONSENSE!

The biggest FRAUD in world history.

Sure some people died. Many of them “were going there anyway”.

Many, if not most died WITH Covid, not FROM Covid.

Because of government payments to hospitals per patient (up to close to $100,000.00) for Covid, it seems like EVERYONE possible was diagnosed with Covid.

It was a YUGE “money grab” by the hospitals. Not to mention the Drug companies. How many did THEY kill? All counted as Covid deaths.

There was so much FRAUD and DECEIT with Covid that you can’t believe ANY government statistics or even private statistics, because the basic information/stats are corrupted/unreliable.

“pain in the butt for all the hand held devices”

Isn’t that the truth? I usually wait until I’m home and on my MacBook because I’ve botched so many posts on phone and iPad.
