Belgium has 23,900 new cases today, equivalent to 680,000 in a population the size of the U.S.A.

Hide under your beds Democrats. Let the rest of us live our lives. Stop using government to oppress society.

“The United States surpassed its record for single-day reported infections of the coronavirus Thursday, counting more than 88,900 cases, and pushing the total number of infections toward 9 million.

The country also tallied more than 1,000 deaths related to the virus for the second consecutive day. At least 228,000 fatalities have been linked to the virus since February.”

So 88,000 people might catch a cold.

There is no chance that the U.S. will tolerate another lockdown like we had in March and April after the media endorsed all those protests all summer, so it's herd immunity, vaccine, or bust at this point!

Wow, you really are thinking outside the box. America has finally grown a backbone. Many Chicago suburban restaurants are openly defying the closures, and even the state cops are enforcing them reluctantly or not at all. (Chicago proper, less so, because they're scared of that loon Lori Lightfoot.) I myself will be out this Halloween, helping build herd immunity. That, and voting for Trump on Tuesday.

It was never serious to begin with. It's a cold virus, that started because some moron in Wuhan ate a bat. The only reason Democrats and their MSM cronies created the mass hysteria is to hurt Trump. Well, they didn't expect the looters and arsonists, who they embraced and even sponsored, thus exposing their party's true agenda. Heck, we just had some in Philadelphia. And most of them never caught Covid, and are still healthy as a hoax. "What?" I said "horse", healthy as a horse. (Well, none of those criminals are over 70, but still.)

That’s insane to think about.

C’mon bro.

You can be both honest about the virus and against the government measures at the same time.

Republicans/Trumpers sound absurd when they go all in like this.

Democrats/Bideners are absurd too, when they create mass hysteria over a cold virus with a 99.7% survival rate.

The virus is dangerous to those over 70 years old. For most everyone else - get on with your life.

BTW, our 7 day average deaths went DOWN and is 817.

Deaths are always a lagging indicator, usually lagging by about 3 weeks.
