Hopefully 3 million.

I'm 67, just recovering from COVID. Only missed 1 day of work because of it.
BTW: Go F - yourself with a red-hot poker!

@averagejoe1 saidSo how did the Israeli press report it ?
So he is in Israel, speaking to Israelites, and says should honor the holocaust, (meaning remember the 'horror'π. He is a sad man leading the free world. Ohh for Trump. I'm still thinking gone by end of August.
If Kamala becomes president, you aint seen nuthin yet. Our stations are calling her diatribes 'Word Salad". Google Kamala Word Salad for a taste.

Do bear in mind that Biden has a speech impediment. This is no secret. It’s not necessarily senility when he mis-speaks.

Metalbrain at least does it to get attention ?

@sh76 saidBut he mis-reads....all the time. That is my point. I am not talking about honor vs horror. He mis-everythings. He will mumble and mutter though his next puppeteer speech, and then, the next one. If he could just get a nap, it may make things better.....
I always get a warm and fuzzy feeling when people call me a lib. Do it again, sweetie.
In any event, misreading “horror” as “honor” on a teleprompter is not that bad, especially since honor is also a buzzword that politicians use at these ceremonies.
Shoot., I just hate it that you fellers will see all of this too late.

@jj-adams saidno...no....he is serious. He has apparently had job problems, or something like that, somebody screwed him over or he was fired over his hair bun, and taking it out on us. I think he wants some stuff, to tell you the truth. They are out there, be careful.
There wouldn't even be a USA after 16 years of those two.
Are you just trolling?
Downer... and I was having a very nice night...
@averagejoe1 saidYou do know that there wasn’t a global oil supply issue when trump was potus joe, I mean can you remember that far back when there was a global glut of oil due to the global economic activity slowdown due to the pandemic.
Dont have to. Do you know, as I have my evening repast, that Biden is begging (Trump never did, but I digress) for oil from other countries? Just one controversy after another.
Your such a silly billy joe
@kevcvs57 saidSo you are saying that Biden is doing a great job and nothing is his fault. If I am a Billy, what are you? Why do you fellers Never point out his one pitiful everything after another?

@averagejoe1 saidI’m not saying he’s doing a great job no but I’m also not gonna pretend that any one man or nation, not even the all powerful US can do more than tinker around the edges of global economic trends and fluctuations especially when it comes to global demand items like oil and grain. Too many players with too many disparate motivations, alliances and geopolitical realities Joe. If your waiting for a potus that can run the world you’ll need to hunker down because you have a long wait ahead of you.

@mghrn55 saidHa! Spot on. I just rewatched Trump’s infamous ‘inject disinfectant’ performance from a 2020 press conference, with Dr. Birx sitting thunderstruck dumbfounded at her boss’s incoherent, rambling, dangerously stupid, NOT sarcastic, word salad. Trump thought he was being oh so stable-genius, telling experts what they should be researching, and made a complete fool of himself.
cofefe
Biden at least understood he was there to honor someone (or something).

@sonhouse saidVery little, correct. There's zero evidence that BA5 is worse than omicron. Each variant outcompetes the previous one because it's better at immune escape than the version everyone already had. So cases go up, sure. But more deadly? I haven't seen any evidence at all.
@sh76
I guess the latest variant of covid means nothing to you. It is worse than Omicron. But hey, no bid deal, only ONE million dead so far, maybe it will go to TWO before it dies down.
Excess deaths have been basically zero since March.
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm
Covid will never ever die down, my sweet summer child (unless we find a cure or sterilizing vaccine, which is unlikely). And as long as they continue to count covid deaths the way they do, they'll probably count half a million a year for the rest of time.
But as an epidemic, it's over. It's another respiratory virus that we have to deal with for all time. You deal with it how you choose. If you want to wear a haz-mat suit for the rest of your like, knock yourself out. I'm gonna live my life and I'll chance it. I had what was likely BA.4 or BA.5 anyway a few weeks ago (I imagine it was BA.5 since actual infections usually precede them figuring out what's going on by a few weeks); as I'm on record having said, it was no BFD. I understand that people who are very old or very weak may want to take precautions and I wish them Godspeed in doing so.
This is just speculation, but I imagine that SARS-COV-2 can mutate and evolve as fast as it can because it was enhanced by gain-of-function research before it escaped from the lab, but that's water under the bridge. Nothing anyone can do about it now. It's here to stay and is part of the world like the other coronaviruses, influenza, RSV, etc.
