Cases and deaths by region

Europe 25, 074,292 cases - Deaths 1,217 per million
North America 28, 521,787 cases - Deaths 1,376 Per Millions
Central America 2,933,536 - Deaths 1,087 Per Million

East Asia 384 cases per million and death only 6 per million, not that a trust the media numbers in Asia




There's no reason to trust the numbers anywhere.

500,000 is a number.

On September 26, the White House held a Rose Garden event to announce the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Again, masks were not required, and very few attendees wore them. Five days later, the President and First Lady tested positive for the coronavirus. The next day Trump was taken via helicopter to Walter Reed.

His three-day hospitalization gave him an opportunity to recraft his coronavirus message. He didn't. In a recorded statement from the hospital, Trump said: "Don't let it dominate you. Don't be afraid of it." Upon his return to the White House, the President made a show of walking up the curving steps to the Truman Balcony. As he stood facing the South Lawn, the former president dramatically removed his mask, saluted Marine One, and then turned and, actively infected with the coronavirus and unmasked, he entered the Executive Residence.

Three weeks later, the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation issued what would turn out to be an astonishingly accurate prediction. IHME estimated that there could be 500,000 US deaths by the end of February. Their analysis also suggested that 130,000 of these deaths could be prevented if the country adopted universal masking.

I've never even heard of that movie before.

But my favorite movie is Ink.

So is 430

So is 339,203

So is 18

So is 7,500,000,000



I'd ask you what your point is, but I didn't care enough the first time to read beyond the first sentence.

Save yourself the time and don't bother replying.

I've got time, going all the way back to the Vietnam War, to explain what I mean. The highly disciplined pro-Nixon/pro-Vietnam War Americans consistently plugged their ears and covered their eyes and ignored what was happening or else they'd have to admit that Nixon's war, which they wholeheartedly supported both President and his war, was a fiasco that killed around a million South Vietnamese. Jump forward 50 years to 2021.

Today's highly disciplined Trumptards wholeheartedly supported President Trump and his strategy to fight Covid-19, but if they paid attention they would have seen his war was a disorganized fiasco which will kill around a million Americans. (Nixon's war kept killing after Nixon resigned and Ford took charge of the Vietnam War; Trump's war keeps killing after Trump lost and Biden took charge.)

Countries as disorganized as Trump's America have huge Covid-19 death tolls, while countries that went about their war with Covid-19 in an organized fashion have small death tolls. But you can't know which countries are doing a poor job of fighting a war unless you count the number of dead. Trumptards don't want to know the number of dead Americans, just like pro-Nixon/pro-Vietnam War supporters didn't want to know the number of dead South Vietnamese.

Trump's America is looking bad, but true Trumptards wouldn't want to know that.

Cool.

Anything you post beyond one sentence is TL;DR.



Ted should do that more often though. He could use some practice on his bad English even if nobody is reading it. It's just a complete waste of time when you do it though.


FYI... 7 more days and YOU'RE the Trumptard if you're still talking about him. You bring up Trump more in one day that I have mentioned him since Biden* was sworn in.

FYI, Trump will be running again for President and his past mistakes, just for two examples, his Covid-19 War and his tax returns, will still be worth discussing with the people who would vote for him a third time. But I've noticed that those people won't discuss, other than to say those are not important.

Nope. Not important.

I already told you before the fixed election results came in that it would be a pleasure to vote for him a 3rd time. Now that your second fake impeachment failed chances are looking good.

Biden is going to be a 1 term president. He's going to fail to deliver on the impossible amount of promises he made, and the ones he's choosing to make are only serving to embolden the opposition.

2022 is already shaping up to be a Democratic Party bloodbath, and we're just a litle more than a month into it.



You should probably start worrying about fixing your party like I've been telling you for over 4 years now instead of doing nothing but talking about Trump and Russian phantoms.
