Time to listen to experts

[furrowtickler]

What are you guys talking about? Joe Biden claims that 120,000,000 lives have been lost to Covid in the US.

Probably a slip of the tongue 😴

Just a little sarcasm. Next time I'll label it as such.

Joe Biden couldn’t tell you his own name never mind covid deaths. He still thinks it’s 1984. When he was 70. Lol

Seems it's killing more small business owners then elderly and immune compromised in the US. Attached from Wall Street Journal

Killed more businesses than people. Good one experts.

The same experts who claimed having a protest riot was healthy but seeing your family was going to kill everyone.

And now they have bundled it all up for the ultimate trifecta of foolishness, climate change exacerbates the virus and the virus is racist.

If you trust these experts you are an idiot.

I really don’t get the “died of natural causes and was just called covid” perspective.

Wtf is a natural cause compared to a virus?

Heart attack? Cancer? Diabetes?

Covid has shown to stress the body out. Could this cause blood pressure issues and heart attacks? Probably. So if someone dies of a heart attack is the argument really “Well they had heart disease already so that would have killed them so Covid doesn’t really count”

Cancer and it’s treatments can lower the immune system so is the argument it’s cancer that kills the person, not the Covid? If they were healthy Covid wouldn’t normally be an issue.

If a person has a preceding health condition that may eventually prove fatal, does that mean no matter why they die, it should be attributed to that condition? Even if they could have easily lived for days, months or years longer if they’d never contracted Covid.

Add this to the pile. Is Florida cooking the books?

You are correct Blaithin

Perhaps it is just an extension of the "guns don't kill people, people kill people." Does not matter to some people apparently if Covid19 hastened a death of someone with compromised health; be if age, lifestyle, weight, or underlying disease. Sort of like if you are shot, it was not the bullet that killed you, it was the blood loss that just happened to flow out the wound. Redneck logic.

Redneck logic.

Well of you want to be that technical, then all deaths are actually cardiac arrest.

Spin it anyway you want. The San Diego crew was the only ones to actually do some autopsies and post mortems and less than 10% could be attributed solely to the virus.

There are 10,000 people dead in Canada too. I don't hear you saying jack sht about how skippy is doing hiding in his closet. Our death rate is right on the same trend for a country with 10% of the US population.

Be interesting to stats or graphs on the time when protests started and infection rate increases...... probably just coincidence

Maybe WestJet should listen as well

How’s the social distancing gonna work there in a flying tin can ?
Sure big time differences in how rules are being applied
