The US suffered its deadliest week from the coronavirus pandemic last week — and it’s only going to get worse, numerous experts have warned.

Data from Johns Hopkins University shows that 15,658 Americans died over the last seven days — in what the university says is a new record surpassing even the initial peak in April.

It must be clear by now that masking, “distancing” and lockdowns don’t just fail to “stop the virus”, they actually help spread it ... as good a theory as any of “The Experts” have dreamed up.

The data purporting to support these claims of “deadliest _____ ever” needs to be audited for proper causation and the accuracy of the infection claims.

Masked up. Shut down. Distancing. Sanitizing. Zoom schooling. And still the cases are exploding at the highest rate after nearly a year? 100% absolute unadulterated bullshit!

Why, yes, in the places that refuse to practice social distancing and masking, that is exactly what is happening.

Must be just coincidence that Kansas' numbers went down two weeks after they implemented a statewide mask order. I never met nobody with that darn hoax coronavirus, so it must be fake news!

It's complete coincidence, for example, that South Dakota and Iowa have some of the worst infection and death rates in the country. It has nothing to do with distancing, masks, coordinated public health responses, or politicizing a public health emergency. Nope. Clearly all a liberal plot to take away your Freedom™.

Yup. I only read and comment on these threads to criticize the people who are dumb enough to believe this crap. Hospitals get bonus money from the Feds for each “Covid mortality.”

Connecticut had more deaths in April and May than usual. Deaths through September are running ahead of the norm.

rt.live has 40 out of 50 states with Rt over 1.0

Non fear mongering death takes a holiday.

Miraculously, nobody died of heart disease, cancer, or influenza that week.

Well, they fixed the crime problem in Chicago, no murders this week, just 50 Covid deaths.

I asked a Kool Aid drinker the other day why the good old Flu has virtually disappeared? He said it was because of masks. So I asked him then why is Covid not disappearing as well? His answer was “well I’m going to stay protected” Insane.

Most people are genetically programmed for obedience. Their behavior is solely determined by who they choose to obey.

Anybody who isn't wary to the point of paranoia about their freedom now, given all we've seen in 2020, is a damn fool.

You came out of your duct tape sealed closet to make that reply? And your handle is “A Conservative Future”? Might want to look up the term “Cognitive Dissonance”. You might want to put a dictionary in your favorites. Next to your MSNBC and CNN bookmarks.
