    People aren't statistics, dumbass. An individual gasping for air on his death bed (which may or may not be in a hospital) doesn't give a fuk the mortality rate is below 1%. 400k people may not be a high percentage of 300million but they are STILL 400K HUMAN BEINGS DEAD, you absolute garbage person.

    This is the mentality of a psychopath. Seeing people as numbers instead o ...[text shortened]... eople deserve to die because you don't think there are enough dead people to concern ourselves with.
    This is a childish attitude to have. Of course people aren't just numbers, but we need the numbers to get an accurate perspective...otherwise we ( as in yourself ) let irrational emotions make self serving - generally poor decisions that "feel" good instead of actually being good. You want to be a citizen of the world so bad...better get used to looking at the numbers, cause that is how scientists view it. That's how you make informed decisions.

    Shutting down the world because 2 out of 8 great grandparents that catch COVID could die but still having 2 of them die regardless is moronic.

    the Chinese are big on herbal medicines and snake oil
    Endemic racism rules in this narrow white-dominated forum.

    IF Chinese scientists had NOT quickly discovered the genetic sequence of Covid-19 and published
    it for all the world to see, then the development of vaccines would have been greatly delayed.

    Some Western scientists have given credit to Chinese scientists for that vital work.
    But none of the hateful racists here apparently would ever give any Chinese any credit.

    According to worldometers, as of today
    1) USA 424,177 deaths by Covid-19
    ...
    47) China 4635 deaths

    Do research.

    Almost everyone survives covid, even without taking vitamin D.

    Let's see if you can figure this out. If 100 people get covid, how many of those 100 would be expected to survive?
    You must have detected my sarcasm.

    How about some stats on your thinking that vitamin D will be stop you from getting the virus? Start using your head just a little please.

    Polio destroyed lives of little children, Covid generally kills those 85 and older. I think that is the main difference.
    You are talking about a long time ago when medicine isn't anywhere near what it is today! (SIGHS) Covid kills people of all ages not just those 85 and older. Man where do you live under a rock?

    Over 80% of all deaths are people over 65 ( retiree's ) which cumulatively represent 16% of the US population.

    I guess I'm the only one that can imagine the government would euthanize its aging population of the baby boom ( who is now drawing massively ) as SSI reserves are projected to be exhausted in less than 20 years time?

    Look at the study I provided. It is in the science forum.

    OK, so let's see all these new policies that will drive covid from our shores. How is Biden different?

    We became instantly over the peak. Biden didn't have to do anything. It is all better.

    Oh yeah, the secret is out. WE invented C19 virus specifically to kill off all the old farts in nursing home.

    How did you figure that one out?

    You can be assured I'll not be running around looking for stats you posted in any forum as I would then question the source. 1 death is too many deaths, what do you think about that?

    Do you call over the peak 4,000 deaths a day?

    Did it ever enter your mind to give Biden at least 3 months and see how things are then?

    Biden is being honest about the pandemic over the next few months.

    He doesn't need to lie to you. You seem to be doing a pretty good job lying to yourself.

    Yes, Biden has said that himself! That is because Trump wasn't doing anything since November4th but crying about an election he lost fair and square. While he was doing that thousands of Americans were dying every day! What a hero he is!
