U.S. Covid-19 death toll surpasses 200,000

[Copper]

That appears to be more than the regular flu.

Or, about 0.06% of the population...

@Jolly But higher than any other cause of death beside cancer and heart disease. And that is just in six months.

And the CFR is better than most European countries, and better than the world in general.

I saw an interview with the top dog doctor in Obama's administration discussing how they handled the H1N1 pandemic. He said it was only because of sheer luck H1N1 didn't kill millions of people, because in hindsight every move they made was wrong.

@Larry Did President Trump Administration take the lessons from that?

You have been brainwashed by the media so thoroughly that I don't even know how to explain anything to you .

So watch this video all the way through. It gives the entire picture, using facts, not leftwing media spin that you have bought into. If you watch it with an open mind, you will have no choice but to admit that your entire belief system regarding this issue is wrong. Every. Single. Point. You. Make. Wrong.

If on the other hand, you watch the video in its entirety and still hold to your silly views, there's no hope that you will ever learn anything.

That video utterly destroys the "Trump screwed it up" "Trump acted too slow" bull shit some people here insist on pushing.

Let me get this straight.....

You want to know if Trump took a lesson from the massive failure of Obama and Biden? Why would he want to do that?

To know what not to do.

@brenda Exactly. You can learn as much (if not more) from when things go wrong as when things go right.

You know why? Probably Biden. Seems like every foreign policy step he supported was the exact wrong thing to do or had the exact opposite effect. Makes sense that he was deeply involved in H1N1 mistakes too lol.

I feel like maybe 5 years from now we might get some fairly accurate excess death numbers and finally know how this went. I feel I just can't trust most of the (small) numbers we are getting from other countries.
