Explain how my numbers are way off. He stated that it kills more Americans than died in those three wars. I posted numbers of deaths in those wars with citations. I then posted the coronavirus numbers with citations.

Got my first jab today (woo hoo!) - administered by a National Guardsman. Boy those guys and gals really know what they're doing... no fuss, no muss, in and out. I didn't even get a band-aid!

Happy to have it. My hubby lost two beloved family members to Covid. It's been a hard year on everyone and I, personally, am looking forward to better days ahead. Now I just need to find a job.

We are making an appointment tomorrow to get either Pfizer or Moderna, we're both wanting to get vaccinated ASAP, they are having local pharmacies here do all the jabbing...

Please note... do not ever......... ever, ever, ever, ever..... quote Wikipedia as your source of ‘mis’information. You loose all credibility when you do that.
That is like referencing The National Enquirer tabloid paper as a reliable source.

Stroh I was quoting the sad total of the US Military combat losses in three wars not losses in other countries too - for your information I’ve attached the numbers below. You could also nearly add in the Civil War losses. For one year of Covid deaths in the USA to be roughly the same as those combat deaths indicates how serious a killer Covid is for those of us who feel the combat losses were enormously high.

In 2017 a book by Laura Spinney, “Pale Rider” was published to be in time for the 100th anniversary of the “Spanish” (it did not originate in Spain) flu. It makes for fascinating reading in terms of what eventuates in 2019. One of the fundamental points was that the advice to people to stop the flu spreading was “ social distance, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently”. Whilst it is not possible - if we all did not have contact with others for two weeks the virus would be unable to replicate. The thing that keeps a virus going is the ability through contact to be transmitted between people. That’s why Australia (as it did in 1918), New Zealand, Taiwan and China have managed relatively well. Libertarians hate lockdowns just like viruses do. Viruses love lots of contact and “business as usual”...

The real sad truth is that so many deniers said it so many times that a lot of people believed, exactly what Hitler's propaganda minister said, and Stalin's followers used again, that a lie told once is a lie, but told many times becomes the truth. This is especially true in our modern internet accessible society, where many just don't double or triple check their fact finding for the real story. The number of AMERICAN (USA) military deaths is sadly lower than the the Covid-19 deaths in one year in the USA. I am really disappointed that anyone would think that those brave (military) souls that fought and died for us all could believe that the facts of Covid-19 death totals greater than 525,000 (USA) are just BS. Just another $0.02 worth of my opinion...

As an aside, my vaccination is for Thursday morning, and I'm looking forward to it...

i watch alot of apocalypse hitler stallin ww 2 ww1 on the american heroes channel and its sad what humans did to humans, hitler brainwashed everyone, promissed the world, stallin was no better he was a crazy man on what he did to his people and specially in the jail camps, the media is a terrible machine when they are involved in politics, like cnn everyday for 5 years spreding hate speech againt trump, and fox defending trump and blasting cnn, this should not be aloud, cnn everynight same thing, anderson cooper, cuomo and lemon are all hate spreaders every single night,
this corona is a huhe scam they failed to protect the seniors and the whole world suffered, i said it from the begining protect the ones that are in high risk, leave the rest alone, good on florida and texas for not requiring masks, this is just ridiculous people walking around with these stupid things on,

If you want to wear a mask in your car, or straight out of bed, to feel safe that is your choice, and me not wearing one is my choice. No one in my local town gives you any issues, but I did notice in Dallas that I got a few stares for being what used to be considered normal aka not wearing a mask. I apparently already had Covid so I have antibodies (zero symptoms in 2020 for me), and my wife also had Covid which she got from her Hospital (where she works). If a business wants to force mask that's fine I can simply go someplace else or put a mask on. I don't rave n rant about it, but 99% of the time I will not be wearing a mask.

I saw today that CA wants to stop screaming at theme parks........ Ummmmm sorry screaming on a roller coaster is kinda what happens.... Just another way to control ya IMHO..
