    Sure, that's why they revised it down from 60k to 37k.

    Keep the dream alive as long as you can.

    Just another thing leftists will believe in the face of all reality.

    Mistakes were made. Lies were told. The body count kept rising.

    President Donald Trump’s disastrous mismanagement of the covid-19 pandemic has been compared with President George W. Bush’s deadly inaction in advance of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. But Bush did not have months to prepare for that storm, as Trump did for this pandemic.

    This is not Trump’s Katrina; it’s his Vietnam — with a warped timeline.

    In February, Trump said the number of cases would soon be “zero.” Bush may have failed to prepare; Trump actively thwarted preparation. Trump is a tactical liar, spreading falsehoods to get through the next five minutes, not the next five weeks or months or years. He is aided by a Republican Party that has routinely defended his incompetence and corruption and is now poised to contribute to the defining event of his presidency: unnecessary death on a mass scale.

    Casualties from the coronavirus failure will not persist for years. Scientists will devise a response, and public-health experts will make it stick. But Trump, who continues to encourage reckless behavior that will lead to additional loss of life, will make the death toll far higher than it should have been. The price of an unfit American president will be paid in thousands of American lives.

    Time for a reality check from magical thinking.

    Today, 66,385 Americans have died from a corrupt system of plutocratic rot.

    Soon, their will be no sports stadium in America large enough to hold all the dead caused by "The Chosen One."

    U.S. Bank Stadium (Minnesota), capacity 66,666 persons

    You posted this before. The "new deaths" chart doesn't mean anything when discussing total deaths.

    Another reason that the 60,000+ Americans dead from Covid is comparable to the 60,000+ dead from Vietnam?

    Trump refused to fight and defend either.

    Holy ****, you are alive! I wondered where you had gone. Figured that calling this virus the Jussie Smollett of viruses would have shamed you into non-existence after watching the death totals grow by tens of thousands.

    But I see you are still trying to downplay the threat of this virus by pretending that CDC chart means that those people who died with Covid and pneumonia are not actually being killed by Covid. Which is disgusting and idiotic because Covid causes pneumonia.

    Setting aside the fact that Covid-19 causes pneumonia and that pneumonia ****ing sucks.

    If you counted Influenza deaths the way that you count Covid-19 deaths, then the single deadlist year of the flu killed around 15,600 people.

    If flu deaths were counted like COVID-19 deaths, the worst recent flu season evidently killed 15,620 Americans

    Seeing as how you can't determine the "total" without accounting for the "new," then yea...it means a lot.

    Trump admin. is trying to down play the Covid deaths and search for any distinctions like indirect causes so they now reason falling out of a 20 story window doesn't kill you....it's the landing that kills you.

    The media and the Democrats would count a person with CV-19 falling out a 20-story window as a CV-19 death.
    Surely, you believe this is nonsense.
    Correct?

    Ah.
    You -don't- believe it is nonsense to count someone with CV-19 falling from a window as a CV19 death.
    Thanks.

    Just for context, as of today, the European Union has nearly twice as many deaths as the United States with over 134,000 total deaths.

    Just for context, 70,115 Americans have died in total from Covid-19 as of this morning due to the failing and corrupt American state ran by mafia criminals in Washington D.C.

    Lucus Oil Stadium holds 70,000 seats which is less than the death toll today from Covid-19

    Why would I be shamed for it being exactly what I said: a hoax over-reaction to a problem that is no worse than any other flu outbreak.

    If 38,000 deaths is the number that requires us to shut the country down, then the country should be shut down every year since the 90's.

    Keep drinkin that kool-aid.

    Oh and by the way, if you want to rant at someone who disgusts you, go rant at the CDC.

    That's their data taken directly from the provided source.
