Nearly 400k deaths isn't that bad considering a population of nearly 400m....right?

Also the fact this has been going on for over a year now

    Considering that we lose 60,000 per year, every year, decade after decade to basic Influenza even with a vaccine that is upgraded for mutations every year or every other year, it is remarkably low. That is the equivalent of six years of flu deaths in one year, (with no vaccine and much higher base lethality).

    The scariest aspect of this is how everyone seems to think that a 'vaccine' is a 'cure' and that 'Hug me I'm vaccinated' is a good slogan for seniors to be wearing on their shirts. Good lord. 

    COVID-19 is likely to continue to kill AT LEAST 60,000 per year every year from now on, especially given its lethality compared to the common flu virus. No one should be 'hugging' seniors as if they are now fully protected. 

    Are Democrats REALLY this dumb?

    The fact that there are so many countries with a MUCH lower covid infection and death rate per capita than the US is proof it was mishandled. Since trump is the POTUS, this is on him. He lied to Americans, we've heard him admit it on audio. He said he was afraid they would panic. He thinks you and the rest of us are stupid. Read the attached link and realize that if trump hadn't denied the seriousness of the virus, hadn't told people it would miraculously disappear, had listened to the experts, wore a mask and practiced social distancing the US would not have one of the highest in the world.

    Yeah, it's bad to lose your loved ones, needlessly, years before their time... 

    People are not numbers, when this could so easily have been prevented. 

    Can't undo the past, but we can start right now to make it better.

    If you exclude those who had unrelated medical conditions or died in car crashes,, the number is way lower. A local talk show host I listen to got Covid and he often asks many people truly died of Covid, not with it.

    The COVID death rate/population in the USA is among the highest in the world.
