Shockingly, none of them had difficult symptoms. 1 guy had it somewhat bad but he's in horrible shape and 65 years old. The healthy people in decent shape had no problems.



When this nonsense blows over, the real death rate will be 0.01%...just like the flu, which is what us republicans have said the whole time. The whole point of the united state is freedom of choice. If you're that unhealthy to where a flu can kill you, stay the **** home. Asking everybody to abide by draconian measures is asinine


and I love how the government will enforce masks but says nothing about the huge obesity problem in the US. Get rid of the obesity problem and there will be way less deaths from covid than masks will fix. The odds are like 30-40% worse you will die from covid if you're obese yet this is not politically sexy so they will say nothing. If everybody in US worked out and was in good shape and ate healthy, covid deaths would drop by a huge percentage. The government will say nothing about this but then force me to wear a ******* mask when I go to the gym to take care of myself

As for the rest, when going to a night club is somehow this much of a priority, well...

this is United States of America. I'm an extremely healthy 31 year old male in great shape. I should be able to enjoy my life however I want. Life is short



this year is basically ruined - I can't do anything I want to do with my other friends who are in great shape. I work in sales so I have to wear a mask all day at work, which is beyond miserable.

Bloomberg tried to ban large sodas as mayor of NYC to fight obesity and the Republicans you know and admire knock him for his "authoritarian tendencies". Also I know two 30-40 range people in good health that visited the ER with COVID.

So why can't we all just admit that covid is harmless for 95% of people?

^^^ ^^^

Every day there is more data to prove the dangers of the coronavirus. Yet, bizarrely, the more proof we have of the damage of the pandemic, the more vicious and hysterical its deniers. It is hard not to be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of uninformed, deluded ideas of covidiocy that the covidiots spew on a daily basis.

So, why can't we all just admit that covidiots have made the USA the laughingstock of the developed world?

So, why can't we all just admit that covidiocy is almost as damaging and depressing as the destructive and dangerous spread of the virus itself?

So, why can't we all just admit that the more proof we have of the damage of the pandemic, the more vicious and hysterical its covidiots become?

So, why can't we all just admit that covidiots and covidiocy are trying to move America from freedom to freedumb?

So, why can't we all just admit that covidiots have plagued our country for decades and there will never be a vaccine for covidiocy, because it promises to linger well after the SARS-CoV-2 virus has been contained, wreaking havoc on our society, taking up resources and frustrating progress?

So, why can't we all just admit that we in America are mourning not just the lives lost and the bodies damaged, but the collective intelligence of our nation, thanks to covidiots and covidiocy?

Only one that has said this is you.
I almost watch to catch covid so my body will build natural immunity like it should since it is unlikely I will be taking a vaccine that is possibly including a digital certificate.

You've just admitted that you HATE the United States, and quite possibly yourself. Good show.

I know of not a single person...

In the past 8 months, I don't know anyone in the hospital for cancer or heart disease, either, not a single person - but I'm pretty sure those things still exist.



200K dead people - means something like 20-30 million infections - and only a small percent of those are ER/Hospital, something less than 2%...0.2% of the population maybe? 600K people? One in 500 people, nationwide, MAYBE have been the hospital for COVID? Do you KNOW 500 people? And if I know TWO in the hospital, then you'll have to know 1000 people to know someone. Ya see how uncommon it is? To say "you don't know anyone..." means nothing.


MOST PEOPLE do not know anyone. Many of you have an exaggerated opinion Hollywood-style of what a serious problem looks like. It's not bodies on every corner. No. While that, too, would be a serious problem, it becomes serious enough waaaaaaaaay before that.
