Scammed? Lol
This must be another hoax?

So far "All of the above" has taken a commanding lead.

Even in this thread, the panic pushers push more panic while keeping this poll at the top of the front page.

It's too bad I couldn't add a couple new ones, like this, which is my personal choice.

8. Since they are in a high risk category themselves, they want the whole world shut down until they personally feel safe.

. I agree on your choices 7 and 8.

Following this post life will not be too permanent. Not even as permanent as with this post.

There's at least one person who has changed their mind that Covid is a hoax and everyone is lying.

Chuck Woolery, who said 'everyone is lying' about COVID-19, reveals son tested positive

revealed one day later his son tested positive. Then his Twitter account disappeared.

Apparently he has since deleted his tweeter account. I hope his son is eventually OK.

Everyone is totally focused on how many people die from COVID-19, Here is a little information for you about those that don't die.

For every one person who dies: of COVID-19

19 more require hospitalization.
18 of those will have permanent heart damage for the rest of their lives.
10 will have permanent lung damage.
3 will have strokes.
2 will have neurological damage that leads to chronic weakness and loss of coordination.
2 will have neurological damage that leads to loss of cognitive function.

So, to summarize - worldwide. The percentages roughly the same for the US.

03,282,000 people dead.
62,358,000 hospitalized.
59,076,000 people with permanent heart damage.
32,820,000 people with permanent lung damage.
09,846,000 people with strokes.
00,564,000 people with muscle weakness.
06,564,000 people with loss of cognitive function.



It might be time to think this is a little worse than the flu.

Do you have a link to that info?

This is complete nonsense. The CDC just aggregates the numbers each individual State reports. Each State has it's own covid 19 data site. The numbers will continue to be available to everyone.

Perhaps you think all 50 states will engage in a conspiracy to lower their numbers?

No, but I think the current administration is trying to push the truth away from us.



Not nonsense. Some of the underhanded political machinations vis-a-vis the health of our citizens is more than complete nonsense; it's dangerous.


You have had a certain agenda for weeks. I think it is dangerous as well. That's my view and I'm sticking with it.

Too late! You already responded. Do you think labs reporting 98% positive cases for those tested could be bull? When you don’t get the truth from the state and media there’s a problem.

Let me add one.

9. Because the numbers are only going to climb unless everyone does the simple thing wear a mask.

[Keysers]

Because I want my family and friends to survive this pandemic.

I want to be able to visit my Mom without exposing her to a deadly disease.

I want to help slow the spread so our economy will come back.

I don’t want to see our hospitals overwhelmed and refrigerator trucks lined up outside.

I want to be part of the solution. If the rest of the world can do it, so can we.

And I want to visit my husband in his care facility, hug him and stop crying because I miss him so damn much!

So, go ahead, call me selfish.

As long as all 14,000 were tested on the same day and all results are reported for the same day. But in reality it does not happen all in one day.

Those who have tested positive, are retested until 2 negatives are still counted as a positive for that day.

So even though one health care worker should only be counted once, system counts them each time for every positive test.

Until every person is assigned a number, similar to SS#. Is the only way an accurate count will happen.

How about none of the above....they are just scared to death for whatever reason, and they will share that with you, if you ask, or the subject comes up. I am not scared, but, I am cautious and respectful, so I try to avoid those that are not.
