That flies in the face of current efforts to get people to see themselves as black/white/hispanic/Asian before seeing themselves as Americans. We should all be in this together, instead they've divided us so they can control us.
Agree but my point was that was NOT a founding principle.
Well, our dear leader (the gov) wants desperately to keep Florida's economy going, at whatever cost to people's health. This is so he can run for president from a state whose economy looked good during the pandemic.
I hope there are a few people left in Florida by the time that happens.
So are you saying you want Floridians to die? Or leave? Because I can promise you, they aren't leaving. They are coming in droves.

Shouldn't all the un vaccinated people be dead by now? LOL... such a display of empathy comrade.
Interesting way of looking at the death rate from COVID by including the entire population of the US, rather than case numbers.
John Hopkins has the case fatality rate (CFR) in the US as 1.8%.
Yemen currently has the highest CFR of 19.5%, but very few confirmed cases and a country ravaged by civil war will have mitigating circumstances. Peru at 9.3% is more alarming.
We KNOW the population of the US (within a very small percentage) accurately. The total number of cases of Covid is just a wild guess. Besides, how many people were exposed to Covid and never came down with it or never got tested for it?
The best way to show the impact of Covid on a country is by comparing the deaths due to Covid to the entire population of the country. This shows the death rate of Covid for the country. Yes, some people suffer lasting consequences from Covid, but nevertheless, the death rate for the US is only two-tenths of 1%.
That means that of the 320,000,000 people who were living in the US about 18 months ago when Covid started here, 319,380,000 of them are still alive or died of something other than Covid. That kind of puts the problem into perspective.

I suppose that's true. As I said, an interesting way to look at it.
Population of Peru is 33million about. 196, 214 deaths. So about 5-6% just to put their plight in the same realm.
The death rate from Covid in the US is not even close to 1%. One percent of 330 MILLION people is 3.3 MILLION people. We're not even close to that. Last I heard it was about 620,000 deaths allegedly from Covid. That's about two-tenths of 1%.
Can you imagine that it matters to the families of those 620,000 dead people? Statistics don't matter when it is the life of your loved one. 620,000 is still a lot of people.
