My mom is a kindergarten teacher. She just attended a training at her school (the same school where I'm expected to send my 6 year old in a week). She called me so angry and frustrated she was practically in tears. She said her principal, the presenter from California and the majority of teachers weren't wearing masks at the training. She has some auto immune issues, in addition to being in her 60's, and she is genuinely scared to go to work. And I'm seriously rethinking in person classes for my kid.

Well, sadly... I guess we know the old saying: 1 death is an outrage, 100,000 deaths is a statistic

I think I'm going as the "Bring out your dead" guy from Monty Python for Haloween

If this is what we need to do to get people to understand, so be it. I'm sick of this so can you boneheads be considerate for once? Please and thank you

And to all the morons who claim, "More people die of flue," (which stopped being true when Covid deaths surpassed 30,000), influenza is coming, too. This last season saw 30,000 +/- deaths.

I have never in my life, not even among anti-vaxxers, seen such c**p logic and sneering ignorance, as I see about Covid-19. We (medical types) applied the standard model at the start. We were wrong. We have since made big loud statements to that effect, that we MUST CHANGE HUMAN BEHAVIOR TO STOP THIS b/c it is that new, that unknown. THE END.

So another airplane analogy for you. Imagine if every day for a year actually every year a jumbo jet with 400 people in it crashed killing everyone inside. Could you ignore that? But we do and have for years it's an analogy for how many Americans die every year from medical malpractice approx 250000. That would make it the 3rd leading cause of death in the USA but its not reported as such. So you can probably take a high percentage of those covid deaths and attribute medical malpractice for them. I promise you I have been a medical provider for over 13 years. I have seen and experienced so blatant errors that are not acceptable and could've easily been avoided. Doctors don't always know what they are doing thats why its called practice.

inb4 "There are thousands of flights a week, 50 isn't so bad!"

It was estimated fairly early on that if the leaders of the US & UK had taken it seriously and acted just SEVEN DAYS earlier the number of deaths would have been cut by 40% to 60%. (the variables are based on the best possible actions vs. the worst) So roughly half of those 2 nations' deaths can be directly blamed on DJ tRump and Boris Johnson.

It is what it is, Donald said. He cares a s**t for America or Americans.

So tired of the fear mongering for the past 6 months... No doubt this is a virus, no doubt that it will be around for years and years as it mutates and new strains are discovered. It is here people. It has been here for a while. Not a damn thing going to change that fact. If you are immune compromised, then you should be protecting yourself, just like you would with any other airborne virus. Simple as that. Remember the flu vaccine that was suppose to "prevent the flu"...how many different ones have they "created" and yet it is still here and killing people. How about we talk about something we can cure....Over 50,000 people die each month from cancer.... equivalent to OVER 200,000 in four months. This has been for the past several years. Where is the outrage and demand for a CURE?

Dumb analogy. 2.5% of the population of the US test positive for CV-19. of that Less than 6% of those succumb with the CV-19 present. Only 2 million folks fly in a year.... well not quite as much this year. Do the math. That would be a 6.3% fatality rate. Covid is a .0015% mortality rate

interesting analogy, i just wonder where it is every year when we lose between 150000 and 190000 people to the seasonal flu. We do not even have a covid-19 test. All we can test for is coronavirus which is everything from the common cold to pneumonia. dont believe me? easy enough to research. People on here need to get over their TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) and wake up!
