    My favorite Covid death of all time …

    Another case at Shands, a 35-year-old male, was listed as a Dade County death from COVID-19: “[The decedent] was working on the roof of a home in Middleburg on 5/28. It started to rain and the decedent and his coworkers stopped working. Bystanders in the neighborhood and the workers on the roof observed a flash of lighting and heard a loud explosion, and several workers were thrown off of the roof. Immediately following the lighting strike, a worker on the roof observed the decedent collapse, fall off of the roof, and land facedown on grass. The decedent’s muscles were reported to be contracted and shaking, and caused the decedent’s body to roll over onto his backside. It was also reported by the workers that the decedent’s eyeballs were rolled back into his skull. Bystanders in the neighborhood observed the decedent on the ground, called 911, and started CPR until EMS arrived on scene. Following the lightning strike, the workers observed a large hole on the roof that appeared burnt. According to medical records, the decedent was transported via EMS to Orange Park Medical Center and was found to have spinal fractures with spinal cord transection, a skull base fracture, and pulmonary contusions. He was transferred on the same day to UF Health Shands Hospital for further management and was admitted to the surgical intensive care unit on mechanical ventilation. He tested positive for the COVID-19 virus on 5/29 and was transferred to the medical intensive care unit. In addition to acute hypoxic respiratory failure and neurogenic shock, he was found to have a subarachnoid hemorrhage, bilateral pulmonary contusions, C3 & C7 spinous process fractures, complete T4 spinal cord transection, a skull base fracture. Trauma surgery, neurosurgery, and neurocritical care continued to follow the decedent and the decedent’s condition did not improve. Examinations were consistent with severe hypoxic brain injury and his prognosis was poor. The decedent’s family elected to transition to full comfort measures on 6/9 and he was pronounced dead on 6/9.”

    In this case, the covid clearly destroyed the bodies natural immunity to lightning strikes.

    She meant to say thousand rather than million and it should be obvious.

    One would think when she got it wrong the first time she would have made sure she didn’t get it so wrong a second time.

    Also when did 200 thousand Americans die of covid in “just the last few months”?

    I guess she meant 20,000 both times?

    I did me level best to inform the good people here that Ivermectin was an effective and safe drug for humans... and the nihilists here simply laughed, denied and ridiculed it as horse paste. Looks like they all knew the truth about Ivermectin that I tried to share all along.

    Since you apparently like graphs.

    Graph won't display summarizing it Covid deaths have dropped significantly since March 2021 with a higher death rate for the unvaccinated compared with the vaccinated.

    By the way I'm getting over my second bout with Covid. First time was January 2023. Experienced symptoms on Sunday evening, felt like shit on Monday and self-tested with a positive result. Currently feel much better with symptoms no worse than a slight cold.

    Are you sure that guy was never listed as a lightning death?
