You Democrats keep believing that..... until they come for you, want what you have (like yesterday they wanted whites to give up their homes what's next for these hate groups?) You Democrats keep being in denial...Report back on how that works out for you..

Meanwhile we will be the squirrels that stock up on protection. I hope you Dem's do the same.

Meritocracy is biggest lie around, its who you know and color of your skin, not what you know. Capitalism in America is at the stage of oligopoly and monopoly. It uses resources to get regulation from government that protects it from competition. Look at the disrespect your wannabe king has for science. He promotes all his yes men, fires anybody actually searching for corruption. Yea. tell me another whopper. You think the Father of Lies is good for America and believes in meritocracy, then you been drinking the kool-aid and wearing blinders instead of your mask.

Suicide is a shocking tragedy and the problem has always been an important problem to me, long before the pandemic arrived. You are going to have to back up this claim with references or admit you just made that up, which is very typical of COVID deniers. I hope you didn't just make this up.

I assume you didn't make it up, someone probably told this to you. If so, you can go back to the source for the statistics, because if they made the claim they should be able to back it up. I am asking you to back up the claim right here with the information they provide you.

The latest suicide statistics I can find (pre-COVID) was that the average is of approximately 132 deaths from suicide each day, about one every eleven minutes. Do you have more up to date information? If not, withdraw your claim. If so, post it right here so we can all read it.

We should be able to subtract the previous years statistics from the current years statistics and determine just about how many more cases of suicide there are since COVID came to us.

We will await your response.

Covid is in GA as much as it is anyplace else, maybe more so. Schools have opened and closed because of infections. So even though the governor is an idiot and wants to dismiss Covid and its effects, he has to acknowledge that Covid doesn't care that he doesn't care. Not sure what you're looking for, but if you're looking for everything to be wide open, you may be disappointed. Many restaurants still have takeout only. Stores require masks. Some places are only seating at 50% capacity.

Hahaha, really? Well, Trump forgot to fire the most vile, corrupt, sneaky, lying piece of garbage: Anthony Fauci. That's the top mastermind behind this Covid plandemic.

So Fauci is the one responsible for the schools and some bars and restaurants being reopened and closed again. I was wondering who was in charge of all that. Covid doesn't care what you or I or anybody else thinks. Until we take the precautions we need to in order to mitigate its spread like wearing masks and social distancing, then Covid will be with us for a long time to come. It's not a political virus.

Yes. The governors did the actual closing, but Fauci was the "first mover". This is how it all went down:

China spread the Covid Flu.
Fauci/CDC spread the lies.
Liberal media spread the fear.
Democrats spread the tyranny.
We, the people of the United States, are the ones left holding the bag.

Fauci and Birx should not be giving any advice. They are bureaucrats with MD's and they are out of the loop. When Fauci was asked point blank about the negatives of shutting down he said they couldn't be quantified!!! Yet he gave the recommendation anyway
I'll go so far as to say as their conduct has been criminal.

I can’t speak to all suicide, but the increase in teen suicide and attempts is far worse than teen deaths from Covid. I’ll try to find the article I read last month and come back to post it.

We’re back to dining out, going to the gym and going to church. I call that a success.

Meanwhile, it’s the idiots in southern and midwestern states that didn’t take this thing seriously that are now having big problems. If you think lockdown is destroying your lifestyle, you only have yourself to blame.
Clap clap clap clap. Bravo!

The virus dictates whether it's safe to open up. Not politics or spin from Trump disinformation/conspiracy driven TV with paid hosts spoon fed a narrative. We have the power to stop this virus from spreading. It's a dirty shame there are so many Covidiots out there spreading it.
