Why you don't know anyone who died from COVID

They aren't pro life.

Hell, I know, personally, multiple people who have died from this thing.

Well. Did know.

No t only do I not know anyone who died from COVID. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who did. Stands to reason when a "whopping" 0.000378 % of the populace has died. Unless you know 10,000 people, you wouldn't know.
 
I never really was worried. For one thing death is a part of life. Everyone eventually dies..I know it's hard to accept but true.

The Dems live for this world alone... generally speaking don't give life after death much thought since...no God and etc...

But anyhow...whoda thunk it...that the US economy would be shut down because omg ppl die....

Your post pretty much says it all and reminded me of something interesting and how easily things snowball. Government has gotten far too large and was originally intended as a means of defense against enemies as the larger and stronger you are and UNITED, the less likely you are to be taken over by a competing tribe who wants your resources and nubile young virgins. With 330 million people, we now have all of these departments and agencies with millions of people we have never heard of. Not only that, we had that worthless WHO, whose members seem to exist for the sole reason of raping other countries so they can travel the world over and stay in first class hotels and have lobster, caviar and wine and get millions in bribes so that China can be protected. So, someone in one of these wonky agencies says "Hey, masks "might" sow down the spread and this disease seems to spread easily person to person so our recommendation would be to make people do that and not work." That's ALL it took. There were no high level meetings anywhere that anyone knows of. One person thought out loud and was considered an "expert" so the other "expert" agreed and like a snowball rolling down hill, it got huge until if you did NOT shut down and do this, you would have been called Genghis Khan.

That's all any idiotic policy, war or overthrowing a duly elected president takes in this crazy world. ONE person. Remember that when it comes to evil. It starts with just one like the riots and infects other minds.

The governor of Texas hit the brakes on reopening his state Thursday as hospitals were inundated with “an explosion” of COVID-19 cases and officials reported 47 more deaths and nearly 6,000 infections — a grim new daily record.
Texas pauses reopening as hospitals inundated with '''explosion''' of COVID-19 cases

That's been pretty well debunked. But what does any of that have to do with libs being sick, evil mother****ers?

Texas hospital CEO: COVID inpatient count 'misinterpreted,' level of alarm 'unwarranted'

Health officials in Texas are logging every single COVID-19-positive hospital patient in the state as a COVID-19 hospitalization, even if the patients themselves are admitted seeking treatment for something other than the coronavirus.

That policy may be serving to artificially inflate what ostensibly seems like a significant COVID-19 surge in the state. Texas has lately been the focal point of national anxiety over concerns that a "second wave" of the coronavirus has begun there after the state began reopening nearly two months ago.

COVID-19 hospitalizations there have been on a steady upward track for about the last two weeks, per the state's coronavirus dashboard, which on Thursday recorded about 4,400 coronavirus hospitalizations in the state. But at least part of that trend may be due to liberal coding policies by state officials.

Lindsey Rosales, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services, confirmed to Just the News this week that the state is categorizing every inpatient in the state with a positive COVID-19 test as a COVID-19 hospitalization.

"The number of hospitalized patients includes patients with a lab-confirmed case of COVID-19 even if the person is admitted to the hospital for a different reason," Rosales said.

Asked if inpatients in the state are tested for COVID-19 whenever they arrive for treatment, Rosales said, "Hospitals set their own protocols for determining when and if to test patients for COVID-19."

She said the state does not keep track of the patients hospitalized with the coronavirus versus those hospitalized specifically because of it.

The number of hospitalizations are "being misinterpreted," said Houston Methodist CEO Marc Boom, "and, quite frankly, we’re concerned that there is a level of alarm in the community that is unwarranted right now."

"We do have the capacity to care for many more patients, and have lots of fluidity and ability to manage," Boom said.

He pointed out that his hospital one year ago was at 95% ICU capacity, similar to the numbers the hospital is seeing today. "It is completely normal for us to have ICU capacities that run in the 80s and 90s," he said. "That's how all hospitals operate."
 
When they included someone who died of alcohol poisoning a reasonable person should question if slip and falls are also include and 98 year olds who have had ten strokes. Were you aware that not all countries include pre-existing conditions as COVID deaths?

Thanks for admitting that you lied.
 
Covid cases don't mean Hospitalization

Did you read the link?
Or even what I posted,

From your own article(LOL)

Yes. It is widely reported of Tx, Fla, Az, Ca are big hotspots. Are you agreeing? Or do you think this is some hoax yet?
 
I know of one death- an 86 year old man. Can't really say if he died with covid or from covid.
I know several who have been diagnosed, from 4 weeks old to mid 80's. None died.

We apparently are on the close to 90th mutation and the one affecting most people now is weaker than the original strain from Europe that whacked NYC.

Nope. What have I lied about? Be specific, and use quotes directly from me.

Sure, as soon as you provide specifics on libs always lie. Use quotes from every single person that's a lib. And every single word and sentence they say or write.

When you finish proving your claim, I'll gladly oblige you.

You're not pro life.
 
At the inflated death claims by the CDC of 125,000, over 80% of those are over 65. Unless you have a grandma or granpa around or know someone in a nursing home, the chances are slim you would know anyone who died from it. But, for all those who attended the socialist public skool system here is the math for all 125,000 deaths:

3 people in ten thousand have die from it. Of those three, at least 2 are over 65
37 people in a hundred thousand have died from it. Of those, 30 of them were over 65 and just 7 under 65
378 people in a million have died from it. Of those 302 were over 65 and 76 were under 65
3,780 people in ten million died. Of those 3,024 were over 95 and just 756 were under 65
125,000 people out of 330 million have died. Of those 100,000 were over 65 and just 25,000 were under 65


Now you know that you can sleep well tonight. No more fretting and nail biting. Sleep tight.

Cool! Following your courageous logic, since I don't know anyone who killed themselves with a bullet to the brain, I got nothing to worry about this upcoming game of Russian Roulette I got planned for this afternoon, right? Whew! Good to know.
 
The number of lives and families the Democratic Party will destroy by the tens of millions knows no bounds. Nor any limit to how many the Democratic Party will kill by covid-19.

Yeah, their concern for the Constitution, and all citizens' rights will be devastating. :roll:
 
That's been pretty well debunked.
No, it hasn't.

There wasn't a sudden surge in people who went to a hospital because of a broken leg, got randomly tested for COVID-19 despite not showing symptoms, and were thus "mistakenly" classified.

The reality is that Texas opened up too early, causing a surge in cases and hospitalizations. The symptoms of having COVID-19 are all over the map, because it can cause widespread damage including clots and strokes. If someone shows up at the hospital because of a stroke or a heart attack, and they have COVID-19, they are almost certainly suffering from that condition because they had COVID-19.

By the way, Texas' positivity rate is very high, over 10%. That means Texas isn't testing enough.

And no, this is not normal. Texas hospitals have expanded capacity, and are still getting slammed. They're expecting 2,000 new hospitalizations per day very soon.

Stop the denials. COVID-19 is real.
 
You're not pro life.

Actually, even though I am an agnostic deist, I am pro life. Not for religious reasons at all. So there.

I just don't think that someone at 85 in a nursing home who can't speak and is being spoon fed who dies and they find COVID in his or her system and so they say she dies FROM COVID instead of WITH COVID is being honest and when more that 80% of those who do die are in poor health and over 65, I think it is much tado bout nuthin.

A better analogy would be a gun that has 10,378 bullets in it and you are told to pull the trigger or lose your job, your home, your way of life and put your grand kids in poverty from shutting down the country.

I happen to think that most all of the leftists here would refuse those odds and say to hell with the rest of the humans. That is just how selfish and entitled society is today.

The depths "conservatives" will go to in order to minimize the loss of life they do not care about knows no bounds.

If you hypocrites really cared so much about each and every life, you would make driving cars illegal.

If I give you a bag of 300 Skittles and I told you that one of the Skittles contains poison that will kill you, would you eat ANY of the Skittles?

I doubt that you would. This is why all of your statistics simply don't matter and why our economy will remain in the ****ter until we have a vaccine or until we have competent leadership.

People don't want to play Russian Roulette with their lives, no matter how you try to spin it.

More like if you hypocrites would be honest for just a moment and simply admit you are pro-birth and not pro-life it would be a miracle.

Please refer to my excellent response to Ol Nate. thanks.

We have laws that try to make driving safer, such as wearing a seat belt. And we don't have 130,000 people and counting that die in car accidents each year.

We should have laws that make wearing a mask mandatory. Just like we have laws for driving. By all accounts so far, wearing a mask significantly decreases the spread of COVID-19.

In other words, your comparison is stupid as ****.
 
Please refer to my excellent response to Ol Nate. thanks.

Whatever response you gave him is irrelevant. It's not an "excellent response" or even an acceptable response. If it was, our economy wouldn't be a total disaster right now.
