Fortunately,

HHusky

we didn't panic.

RaceBannon

How many lives would panic have saved?

Woodward obviously thought book sales were more important that getting the story out

You certainly kept your head, and discerned what guidelines to ignore.

Just doing my part.

(You're aware essential travel is not against any advisory, I trust.)

Essential lol

Did another 78 year old with stage 4 colon cancer and late stage dementia who happened to have Covid die again?

6.5 million cases is a joke. I'd be shocked if the real number is under 30mil.

And the death totals are and have always been inflated, because any death of a Covid patient regardless if Covid is the primary cause or not is counted.

But continue to hide in your parent's basement champ.

50,000

Maybe 75,000

Ugly flu bug.

Our only two choices when faced with adversity are (1) panic or (2) pretend there isn't a problem.

That's obvious.

Actually the death count is probably under counted right now. Excess deaths in the US from March-July was 200k over the average year.

Across the United States, at least 200,000 more people have died than usual since March, according to a New York Times analysis of estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is about 60,000 higher than the number of deaths that have been directly linked to the coronavirus.

It was that big of a story

I'm sorry but why would anyone believe any of this at this point?

Authorities can only tell so many lies and spread so much propaganda before it all just falls on deaf ears

200k over what number? I'm sure the rise has nothing to do with the increase in obesity, boomers getting older, cancer rates at all time highs, suicide rate increases, etc. But I guess since a lot of these deaths could be linked to issues involving isolation and unemployment, due the virus, they also count as Covid death.

Democrats can't help but to shoot themselves over this thing.

Seems more calculated to me. Much fewer people will pay attention to the nuances of congressional negotiations than will feel the economic pain at the ballot box come November.

We're well past the point of actual governance and legislating paying off. Letting the majority party foot the bill for inaction has become the go-to strategy.

RaceBannon

Unemployment payments are a state thing and the governors originally said no to the 300 then said yes They heard from people who understand

Now the democrats are letting Trump EO the money to the people. I get the plan but seems risky IMO
