59,000 Americans are dead. We’ve lost another 2,400 today alone. The US now accounts for 27.2% of worldwide deaths. We are just 4.2% of the population. There is no GOP or Fox News spin to make this loss any more palatable or remotely acceptable. Tiny hands covered in blood.
Imagine typing this and not questioning it.
We have the best Dr’s in the world. We have the best hospitals in the world.

US deaths from all causes in weeks 7 through 13 in 2020 compared with average deaths from all causes in weeks 7 through 13 from 2014 through 2019 in (parens). Week 7 - 55,981 (57,033)Week 8 - 55,494 (56,300)Week 9 - 54,834 (55,848)Week 10 - 54,157 (56,160)Week 11 - 52,198 (55,395)Week 12 - 51,602 (55,035)Week 13 - 52,285 (54,212) Every one of those weeks - 2020 deaths below and in many cases significantly below the average. In the US, the leading causes of death are heart disease (roughly 23% of all deaths) and cancer (roughly 21% of all deaths). Are these deaths suddenly not happening in 2020? We know more now that we did in Week 7. The numbers don't appear to support a complete lockdown and trashing of the economy anymore. Perhaps wait one more week in the harder hit areas like New York City, implement policies to protect nursing homes, then open it up and let's get back to business.
Exactly.

Numbers are relative but 172:3 is just the deaths. But aside from deaths, flu strikes kids harder as far as hospitalizations and illnesses as well. They say one of the few bright spots in this pandemic is that children are not being hit that hard like the H1N1 (1180 deaths) did or the seasonal flu does. For example: One more death was reported this week, making 172 child deaths reported for the 2017-18 flu season, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. CDC says three kids have died from suspected coronavirus in US. People at higher risk of developing flu complicationsinclude: children younger than age 5, especially those younger than age 2 Yeah, but 172, out of the tens of thousands of flu deaths corona deniers like to throw around, is a very small number. Definitely not enough to make the statement that, "the flu kills kids unlike corona virus." Quite the contrary. The numbers say that the flu doesn't kill kids. Like many viruses, both disproportionately are going to kill those with underlying conditions and the elderly but the coroba virus seems to be deadlier for healthy adults. I'll go a step further. If someone with asthma dies from corona, you could easily chalk it up to underlying an condition. You could do the same for the flu but the chances of a otherwise healthy adult dying from the flu simply because of having asthma are relatively low. I don't know why people seek to twist facts, deny, and worst of all, politicize this thing. This is not the flu. They have some similarities, as do many viruses. Many viruses are spread the same way. Most cause fever. The body tries to smoke out intruders. These two aren't the samw though. Corona is a lot more deadly and from the looks of things, a lot more easily communicable. My guess is b/c though influenza strains mutate, most of us have had oue entire lifes to build up some semblance of immunity. Most of us have received a flu shot at atleast some point in our lives. I just saw a story where corona swept through a Safeway warehouse, infecting 50+ people and killing one. You don't ever hear of the flu sweeping through places of work like that. How many healthy adults has the corona killed?
The fuck if I know. At this point I don't know how many people it has killed in general. I don't follow much corona related news.

And that is one of the reasons the death toll is not higher.

The GOP has lost it's way...Imagine putting all your marbles on trump...bad efin bet! Maybe the worst ever...right up there with Nolan Ryan.
Seriously...Dems are going to win the WH and the Senate...I don't blame trump, he's an idiot. I blame all the never-trumpers for standing with this clown.
I'm not alone in these thoughts...and I voted for:
Reagan, both Bushes and McCain...the spineless fools in the Senate and the House that stand by this lyin' cheat.
I wish the GOP would nominate John Kasich!

I remembered turning to CNN about 2 years ago and I remembered watching the host and some of her guests of the show, ridiculing General Flynn and calling him a double secret agent for Russia.
Wow...do you think they will apologize to General Flynn now all these bombshell documents are coming out now. That is who General Flynn should sue too!

The tide is turning against MSM....do they start reporting the truth or go down with the ship?

Obama’s IRS targeted republicans before the 2012 election. Obama’s FBI targeted President Trump and his allies before the 2016 election. Nasty nasty people.
The first question to o`bama should be what size jumpsuit do you wear ?

Momentum is starting to shift. Once again democrats are overplaying their hand. People are tired of the lockdowns. Now the crashing economy will be on them.
Democrats are not keeping anyone from going out. You want to go out, go out.
Your talking points are worthless because people understand this virus is nowhere under control & they are not willing to jeopardize their health or that of their loved ones. Trump even rejected the CDC guidance they wanted to provide to small businesses prior to their reopening. Just the fact that a place reopens doesn't guarantee people will come.
Do you want your grandchildren or kids going to day care or schools right now? The only thing shifting is more people realizing the POS in the WH is totally unable to deal with this crisis.

WASHINGTON, DC.. Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser is threatening residents of Washington, DC, with 90 days in jail and a $5,000 fine if they leave their homes during the coronavirus outbreak.
The order is similar to dictates in neighboring Maryland and Virginia..Gov. Hogan signed the executive order on March 30, mandating that Marylanders can only leave their home for essential reasons, such as grocery store shopping or essential work. If somebody chooses to disobey the order, they can face a misdemeanor charge that carries an up to $5,000 fine and potential jail time of up to a year....

I will say this coronavirus pandemic will be the biggest hoax of all, bigger than the Russian Collusion and bigger than Trump Impeachment from Trump phone call with the President of Ukraine.
I am not downplay the virus at all and I believed we do had nothing but a very bad flu-like season but this democrat-run state will seize this opportunity to damage this country economically because of their hate for President Trump. You can feel it coming and it just a matter a time before this will become full blown like the other hoaxes
I am a democrat and I am very ashamed of my own party. I called myself, JFK-democrat, which has been hijacked by this Socialist-democrat.

I had said this before. I get it when many of my fellow Democrats do not like President Trump. I do not like President Trump myself either. I did not vote for him in 2016. I was skeptical at first but I watched him carefully since the 2016 election. President Trump has produced more than any President in my lifetime. He is not afraid to deal with our enemies like China or even our own allies. He worked very hard and available plus visible more to the American public than any President. And above all, he works for free. For that I am willing to put up with his antics because he had done an outstanding job.
