We can thank China for this virus.

People lie every which way concerning covid, to get money, to look better, to look worse. None of these statistics are reliable.

Covid is made up to be someting its not - while its ceratinly deadly its no worse than past virus we had or in fact the common Flu where the same amount of people die from it.

Sounds much worse than Covid for unborn babies. How many babies are born each year???

My guess is this could be a baby death rate of maybe 20%.

Does this get reported as a pandemic????

Just like the talking heads in the media. They pick and choose bits of data that fit their agenda. The numbers of individuals on this site who just repeat what their media tells them without taking the time to research facts is disturbing.

I love that you were like "I don't feel like looking it up" ...However, on a side note I completely agree with your post

Just a bit of info for you. Pre Covid over 7,000,000 die in the US each year on average from various causes. You can find multiple resources that will break that number down for you specific to each cause. Year to date Covid has resulted in an additional 833 deaths per day with the bulk of those deaths occurring in the first 90 days of the pandemic. That number has decreased each day since then and that number includes individuals who died from other causes but then it was determined that they had Covid as well. All this data is available at multiple government websites and other independent sites.

Yes ,contact tracing is needed to find who infected our president

It would be interesting to know how many of those flu deaths occurred in non vaccinated folks. Kinda like non mask folk.

You can go to the CDC website and research the data. Specifically the data is broken down by age groups as to the percent of the population of that group who got flu shot in 2019. For those 65 and older group 67% received the shot meaning 36% did not for whatever reason and they remain vulnerable.

Exactly, China's leader could've prevented all of these deaths, long term effects of the virus and the trillions of dollars spent so far.

I don't see why his failure isn't placed at the top of the list of whom to blame?

Look at California for instance. The highest number of positives. But is it fair to blame the leadership of that state? The blame is clearly on the one who let this happen to the world?

This virus is not in China's best interests. They need a strong dollar and weak RMB so they can continue to export their products and maintain jobs for their people. They are not stupid enough to intentionally try to kill or ruin all their customers.

And don't forget they own a trillion dollars of our debt.

You have to remember China always takes the long view, where everything in the US is based on the next election cycle. The fact is tariffs were starting to have a major impact on them economically and through the new corporate tax structure companies were beginning to leave China. The slogan in China is 2025. That was their target for taking over the world economically and we put a wrench into their plans. So yes, I have no doubt this was done purposely.

Car accidents kill thousands. Are you going to stop driving? The flu kills thousands. Are you going to hide every fall? Hospitals kill thousands through mistakes and wrong diagnosis. Are you going to stay home in bed if you are ill to avoid the chance it could be you next? I won't even mention cigarettes and alcohol and other self inflicted killers.The list goes on and so does life. This country, it's workers and it's children need to get back to work and school. This needs to run it's course like any other Virus. Covid 19 is a modified cold virus. They have never been able to cure the common cold so what makes you think they will cure this. Take precautions but let's live our lives or at least let those of us who want to live ours without taking away the few pleasures we have left live theirs.

That is a curious comparison to say the least. We have 330,000,000 people exposed to COVID only a few million at best exposed in Vietmam or Korea! Really, comparing a virus that effects us all to men and women fighting wars is ridiculous! Exactly how does that compare in any way? Come on man!

[oneclickplus]

Have we done a comparison between war deaths and children killed by their own parents via abortion? Look around - not just at covid19. Consider EVERYTHING that plagues this country: murders, rapes, robberies, riots, civil unrest, corruption at all levels of government & business, widespread pornography and subjugation of women, lying, greed, poverty, etc. Did anyone else notice how easy it was to disrupt the food and other supply lines (toilet paper anyone). And then on top of all this we have an insurmountable debt situation. Do you know that God prophesied that He would destroy an hypocritical nation (Isa 10:5-6). And a nation loaded with debt (pledges) will be conquered (Habakkuk 2:6-8).

How much longer before God’s blessings on it are completely removed? It looks imminent from where I’m sitting. COVID-19 deaths? This is just the beginning (of the end of this age). My 2 cents. Spend it any where you like.
