It will be interesting to see how that shakes out this year without McMullin giving them an easy way out. We were just in Utah, there is a billboard right now on I-15 between SLC and Provo with rhino and telling Romney to resign.
Friend of mine called and told me both he and his mother have it. He is 71 and she is over 90. Looks like both of them are going to make it through. I wonder if the severity of this is actually going down.
Far right news source supporting far right position with no support other than quote of far right politician. Qualify the source.
Do you realize that covid is causing strokes in even young and healthy people and that is accepted fact in medical community?
So making up some wild theory of that's what killed the motorcyclist is what a message board is all about I guess... I mean maybe aliens killed the motorcyclist from outer space and infected with him Covid at the same time. About the same odds as your brilliant theory.
It is also citing statistics from March when weekly deaths were measured in the single digits. Can you find a current source that makes such a claim?

Can’t read the NYT article.... does it claim “more people are dying of suicide than Coronavirus” as you originally claimed? What is your solution? End social distancing so more people will die of Cornavirus?
When did I claim more people dying of suicide that Coronavirus? There was an article to say there were more suicide deaths than Covid deaths one week. All I said was the Yale study didn't take into account increases in over dose deaths and increases in suicide deaths. You might want to read what I wrote again.
at least this has actual data. The problem with the chart is that it compares social distancing numbers for covid with every day life historically for the flu. If we just went about our daily lives deaths would be multiples of where they are now and those numbers would be meaningless.
But it's not a true apples to apples comparison, because with the flu numbers, kids are in school, all sporting events are going on, and people are congregating daily. With the COVID numbers, most places went under lock down in March and only started to come out in May. From March to May, we flattened the curve, only to be irresponsible when we reopened. The question is, what would the COVID numbers look like if we never locked down?
