    Read the topic again and see what that has to do with what you posted. Zero to do with Covid. Please delete and move it to an appropriate area.

    What nonsense. Our citizens are more compassionate and caring today than any time in our country’s history. All of them aren’t and all never will be. That’s reality.

    Nothing like drug companies saying their vaccine didn’t kill the person, it was their extreme age or underlying conditions. But anyone who dies who has had Covid in the last 60-90 days or has had a BS PCR test that’s the cause of death. And people wonder why some don’t believe the Covid numbers .

    Interesting compilation of what we know about overall 2020 deaths so far. This is all preliminary, the official numbers won't be out until 2022.

    Preliminary US death statistics suggest more have died so far in 2020 than in all of 2019

    Solid. The excess deaths data is uncontrovertible, and confirms The logical presumption that not all covid dancer direct, some involve those who have put off medical Care to avoid exposure or other reallocation of resources

    Excellent read from this month's Atlantic by Ed Yong on both the long-term benefits of the intense resource allocation towards covid research and also some of the shortcomings and diverting resources from other diseases

    those voters aren't bad people who want to destroy democracy. They just honestly believe the great orange one and his claims are true and they are defending democracy. They believe him above all others and all common sense. It is a cult.

    I used to think that. But as things go on and as it's more and more obvious, I just don't know how to impute good faith any longer

    Re-hospitalization rates for Covid (returning to the hospital within 60 days of being discharged) appear to be about 10-20%. One guy had to go back six times.

    He Was Hospitalized for COVID-19. Then Hospitalized Again. And Again.

    It is almost a statistical certainty that one or more people will have a severe reaction to this vaccine and die. It is possible that the person discussed in the link story is one such person. However, there is literally not one detail about the person's health, his conditions nor even details about how he died. Why even post something with ZERO facts and then go on some rant as though you have discovered some great conspiracy?? Oh wait.....that is what all you OANN and Foxnews types do.

    Looking at recent day's data, looks like we are starting to see that Christmas travel spike. Although I'm not sure how much worse it can get in terms of spread. In reality, there are probably close to a million people a day contracting the virus at this point. There are simply too many false negatives and people who don't know they have it.

    Fact. If someone dies and has a positive Covid PCR+ test anywhere from 0-90 days(depends on the state). They are labeled a Covid death until proven otherwise. No rant needed. Sorry the facts don’t support your bs excuse. Drug companies are saying it’s something else that killed the person but that’s not how it works with Covid deaths. I know it doesn’t fit your narrative. Oh well.

    I think they don't care. It's a façade of principle to justify their desire for autocracy, as long as they're the ones in power.

    I’m with you. If you are still supporting this ridiculous attack on our democracy, I have no patience for you. You have willingly chosen a pathological liar over this country and I judge you accordingly.

    Yikes. I was unaware, however, that Larry King was still around.

    I’m surprised this isn’t being talked about more.

    Coronavirus live updates: South Africa variant 'more of a problem' than UK strain

    I also do not think this is truly only the 2nd variant of the original Covid virus. I think there have been more than two. A couple weeks and all the sudden we have not one, but two variants? You see where this is heading. It’s the new flu. It’s gonna be around for a while.
