I know several who have been sick, two dead. Can’t say that about the flu.

You got to be bull corning. Trump just set the Taliban free, and you’re gonna listen to the sister of one of history’s more nefarious criminal masterminds? No wonder Putin’s licking his chops.

I’ll bet his hospital bed wasn’t crammed in some hall in an emergency room.

[Hidden Content] Those numbers don’t jibe with CDC. 2019: 34,500/35,000,000 Flu death to infection ratio. Latest COVID-19 numbers: 211,000/7,600,00. Do I need to do the math, too?

I can. Certainty in the markets for one thing. Biden won’t call off a legislative deal as significant as the stimulus one day only to call for it the next day then double what everyone else was asking the next. Encouraging investment in new technology and making investments in infrastructure will do more for the middle class than a paltry tax cut. I think the markets are ready to see a functional Congress, and it appears one party control is the only way legislation will ever be passed. Conservatives peed away their opportunity by following Orange Man over the cliff.

That’s way paranoid, man. No man, no political party, no thing can bring an end to the Lord. Times is changing, but it’s still His world.

That’s productive discussion.

What was the cause of death? Are you privy to the coroner’s report?

You saying the knee on George Floyd was harmless? Did you watch the video?

You’re reporting what they said “could be”. I’m talking from what they say “is”.

The reporting is based on the actual court transcripts. You have to have them to believe it? They quoted the judge and Carlson’s lawyers. What’s that got to do with an axe to grind? If FOX doesn’t report it, it doesn’t exist? Sheesh. Did you even read it, or see NPR and dismiss it off the cuff?

We’re called to care for the sick, not judge them. He may be responsible for his plight, but taking glee in or showing indifference to any suffering human is just wrong. I hope he gets well and lives many happy years. I just don’t want him to be President anymore.

I gotta side with you on this one, Stevenash. You’re not nobody’s mama, you just got your opinions like everyone else, and like you say, time on your hands to express them.

Okay. The epidemiologists would disagree with you, but what do they know, right?

I don’t think knee on the neck is a side effect of COVID.

The CDC numbers are the official ones upon which the history of this calamity will be based.

You’re doing nothing more than regurgitating what the FOX talking heads tell you. I’m using CDC data, nothing more.

So, how many deaths have been mis-reported? Can’t have one without the other.

Yeah, kind of like trump’s compassionate reaction to Hillary’s pneumonia. You guys’ bald faced hypocrisy astounds.

Well, I guess that settles it. If only he made that a consistent message.

You want to play that game? How many deaths have been reported as pneumonia, heart disease, or other causes where Covid was actually the proximate cause? CDC is not providing “contrived unsupported statistics”. Imagining how many might have it who haven’t been tested is the kind of thinking that’s got us in this mess.

I’m using numbers reported by the CDC. You can’t quantify what you don’t know. Please cite the data supporting fewer deaths in 2020. CDC report indicates expected deaths in 2020 are running 10% or so behind 2919. That would indicate excess mortality of 200,000 or so - wait! That’s about how many Covid deaths reported.

Did you take civics?

Existing statistics and math. 7,300,000 reported infections times 3% equals 219,000. Total deaths reported 203,000. It’s not propaganda. It’s fifth grade math.
