    Florida locked down their senior homes very early. Where is Florida on the top ten list of Deaths/Million? Oh. They aren't on that list.

    So find her in your next life, and you'll both be young again. If it is your time to go, then your soul has learned the lessons it was meant to in this life. That's why I don't get too bent out of shape trying to avoid it. When it is time, it is time. Just enjoy yourself until it is time to go. Don't isolate yourself in the dark away from everyone and let this world fall apart for "safety". This world has too many people on it anyways. This virus is part of earth healing itself. To us it is a virus, to the planet they are antibiotics.

    What do you bet that over 99% of them who might contract the virus at a Trump rally...or at the grocery store...or at their job...will live to tell about it?

    Gosh... well, that's they way you interpreted it. What he actually said was factually correct, and that the vast majority of the deaths are happening to elderly with pre existing conditions and very few outside of that demographic. I understand that perhaps it effected your sensibilities, but the facts aren't going to change just because they upset you.... Folks over 50 understand what money is, and of course, what it takes to live on. A vote for Biden is a vote for dependency and despair...

    Who made the elderly the most vulnerable? Was it the President who downplayed the virus, or a Governor like Cuomo who ordered Nursing Homes to accept patients that tested positive for COVID-19? The fact is that there is a limit to the impact that the President has on individuals within a state. The greatest impact was from the Governors. Yet, liberals want to blame the President. It is strange how you equate the President with GOD. You claim that he is supposed to be all knowing and all seeing. You expect him to have a Doctorate in every field of study in the world. The fact is that the President is dependent on experts. In this case, the experts disagreed on every aspect of this pandemic. They even got a lot of things wrong. They even pursued their own agenda. Such as Dr. Fauci pushing that masks were not necessary for those that were not sick to ensure the masks are available for healthcare workers. How many people followed his advice only to get sick and die? You blame the President for downplaying information that was far from conclusive? Pathetic.

    BTW, by election day, I will be 59 years old. I will vote for President Trump. My wife, who is 16 years older then me, will also vote for President Trump. Now, you know why.

    There seems to be a lot of that going around. Apparently a number of long time conservative posters got -- er -- persuaded to leave this past week.

    Desperation. When the US has gone over 200,000 deaths has a very poor record in dealing with the virus. Has over 20% of the deaths in the world. Some people feel the need to change the subject to who is dying and why it is ok.

    A question for my conservative friends, don't they have old people and sick people in China? in Europe? In Asia? How do they manage to keep their numbers down?

    You sound disappointed he doesn't have the abilities of GOD.. But clearlyXI the CHINER has all the power of the grim reaper, so why are you not more critical of the death maker and collector of souls around the world..

    Unless you are one of the survivors of the 200 million that died before Biden finished his speech a couple of days ago, is your question worth asking?

    I gotta laugh every time this same tired subject pops up. I'm 60ish and I have never wore a mask, go to rallies, poker runs, restaurants absolutely no change in my life long routines and survived the virus in December last.. I honestly wonder how frail these folks must be to fear something so bad that they abandon all evolutionary protection and cling to mask and rubbing alcohol and house arrest just because they are so afraid of death!

    People in their 60-70s hiding in a house avoiding human contact with relatively no real life left WASTING away in fear.. YA that's the good life they all worked for and XI has robbed them of, and Trump is the bad guy, right

    You are free to live your life any way you see fit. The real point is this is a deflection away from the fact that we have done and continue to do a disasterous job dealing with this virus even if those that are dying somehow deserve to.

    Hmmm.. Weird.... I did not see anywhere in the CDC guidelines that stated that elderly patients diagnosed with COVID should be returned back to their retirement community to make space for other COVID patients. How many patients did Cuomo send to the USNS Comfort? He surely could have send those diagnosed elderly patients there versus sending them back and killing thousands more!

    Deflection would be outrage at the person(s) around the world that got misinformation and lies from the WHO and XI the CHINER.. But the left have clearly took the side of XI and all those American that have died are credited to Trump and not the real death bringer..

    Now that's shame on anyone pointing a finger anywhere but at those two bringers/spreaders of death..

    Yes, but back then most of them were also patriots and would NOT have sanctioned burning flags or spitting on returning Vietnam veterans or defunding police departments for the long term benefit of absolute . . . thugs. These changes happened gradually and step by step with each decade turning vast numbers of them farther and farther away from values that once were the effective definititon of citizenship.

    When that "selfishness" demands harming others, it is revealed to be delusional.
