    HYPERLINK has full story

    snip

    The Midwest and the Northeast are now the epicenter of the latest COVID surge.....

    And just like that, inexplicably, the media’s no longer interested in blaming local officials or the political beliefs of residents for the dramatic increase in COVID cases. Imagine that!........


    end snip

    If you have an open mind, please read the article. It is quite telling about media coverage on Texas and FL vs media coverage on Democrat states.

    This is part of the problem. The folks who claim to be "informed" look to a Democrat media for their information.

    Why anyone grants the Fake News Media Democrat Propaganda horns with any credibility at all is currently one of life's great mysteries.

    Here's another.

    A year ago, on 10/19/20, when NO ONE was vaxxed, the daily death rate (7 day average) was 741/day.

    Currently, on 10/19/21, with nearly 80% of the adults either with at least some vaxx or natural immunity, it's 1,527/day

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/#graph-deaths-daily

    Yet, unless there is a surge in a Red State, we hear nothing about it all. A year ago, it was wall to wall coverage, of half the current death rate.

    DeSantis Is Just Mercilessly Toying With Democrats Now. “This should set off another round of libs caterwauling about DeSantis having ‘BLOOD ON HIS HANDZZZZZZZ!’ That’s their boilerplate tantrum every time DeSantis opts for protecting the freedom of the citizens of his state. It matters not that they’ve been wrong each time, they’re not much for memory on that side of the aisle.”

    It’s because the MSM are divisive lying **** *****. They’re not interested reporting news. CNN, NBC, nightly comedy/news empty suites, all just promoting BS.

    And the worst part is they KNOW IT!!! They know they're lying to people. But hey. Ratings and crap :)

    I was simply pointing out that the title of your thread was disproved by another that had the MSM talking about exactly that.

    Our CDC claims blacks are a high risk group for contracting Covid 19 and dying from it. Then how do they explain why the entire African continent and the country of Haiti, both largely black, have far lower rates of Covid and deaths from it than most countries in the world???

    FYI, as we head into the winter months, those states with colder climates will have a greater indoor concentration of people which is a more rich medium for the virus to spread,

    Africa and Haiti by and large have few resources to fight Covid yet they both are far better off than we are, with the highest number of cases and deaths in the world.

    Since general health and obesity are a major factor that plays a big part. Don’t think I’ve ever seen an obese Haitian;)

    Probably because their lawyers saw that their rhetoric was defamatory and they suddenly understood the civil liability in continuing...

    90% of Covid deaths are in countries with over 50% of the population overweight and obese. We also have higher rates of diabetes than many African countries. And we are sedentary. All these (and many more such as dietary fiber intake, Ghana consuming much more adequate amounts than the US) factors affect likelihood of infection as well as outcome after infection. Covid is a lifestyle disease and the US leads the world in unhealthy lifestyle.

    Africa has like a 10% vaccination rate. They are not suffering like the heavily vaccinated nations. Perhaps sunshine and being outdoors, not locked down, is a good idea?

    Because you are being lied to by the left about Covid. Glad you figured that out.

    Because...
    We knew what was going to happen the entire time. We knew that if you let a lot of people get 'herd immunity' vs vaccinations you will get a massive spike in the number of people who are sick. But once the spike is over it's over. This is what led to all the news articles about how bad Covid was in red states. But now that they have reached an ungodly number of dead, sick, and permanently disabled, they have achieved herd immunity. But not really. Because snow birds are a thing. Now the only places that are still getting covid are those places that are taking it slowly. More vaccinations means less need for herd immunity but not everyone has gotten their vaccine. So NE and NW have gaps in herd immunity. Hence the increase in Covid cases there. But they have kept more people alive (hence the lower death rate).

    No it’s because of politicians at least that’s what the left told us. Even the daily death counts are gone, why?
