Sept 22, 200,000 Dead from Covid 19 in the US
 
How can the US have 5% of the world population but 20% of the deaths related to Covid? We have failed to protect our population from the pandemic. How did our country become so anti-science during this world wide health crisis?

"Get p....." is exactly why we lead the entire world in disappointment and shock in this ongoing pandemic.

I am more dissapointed that it appears many citizens of our country don't care.

Harsh judgement, I know, but quotes and actions is all that I, and the world can see or hear.

Fewer people to play?

But, it is shocking, especially to the families and friends of those who passed away. We are no longer innocent, with respect to this new virus.

It has affected old, young, rich, poor, all races, all heritages, virtually everybody in some way.

And frankly, I think it is far from over

Knocking on wood, but I do not know personally any one who has died from COVID or for that matter anyone who has even had Covid.

Well, I’m doing my part. So what was we not doing?

Please follow the science. Covid deaths prove it is not a hoax!

It is about honest reporting of the numbers. The United States and Euro Nations Have honestly reported numbers. It ends there. China in some honest outside estimates may have lost millions to this terrible crisis. Most third world countries have no statistical tracking at all and Russia will never tell the truth if it makes them look bad. Therefore these figures are at best totally bogus. We won’t know the true figures for years and with the corruption of our news media, even then the “truth” will be suspect.

Through ignorance , arrogance and hubris.

We, the 5%ers, also create 27% of worlds greenhouses gasses. Not a good world citizen. Connection?

So many of the people with co-morbidities could have lived for years if they hadn’t contracted COVID. Yes, they were sick, but they died of COVID, and rightfully should have been classified as a COVID death.

Are all countries using the same criteria? We need an apples to apples comparison.

Did they die FROM the virus or WITH the virus? Big difference!

You forget China and India...
