Rona needs to leave We need to show it the door (Protocol compliance)
Thanks to all those ASS H.'s that follow Rumps example ! 🖕
Lockdown deaths, to save lives.....
Fuck your lockdowns.
How about we talk about deaths and overwhelmed hospitals again. The entire COVID response was based on hospitals running out of room and death counts near or over 5%. None of this came to pass, so the goalpost was moved to the number of cases. That is not a valid concern.
You ap keep reporting that the rate of infection is up from the spring, but you do not put that into context. You forget to mention that the mortality rate is down 75% from the same time period. You are becoming FakeNews
And the death rate? Still extremely low?
Shucks! That Trump is now infecting Europeans 🦠😷
No it isn't... Ppl have been working in this, and it has passed through us, we still worked. The only ppl crying are the privileged ppl who are offended they get the virus too. fk off.
What “progress” was made in the U.S.? This surge was expected, just as it was expected to recede slightly during the summer months. The U.S. has done very little, if anything, to stem its growing number of cases. Anti-intellectualism is a real slap in the face in pandemics, eh?
In US, its because of....
Many people will not agree, but we need a world wide short strict lockdown, or we will see case counts and deaths spiralling out of control. Hospitals have no more beds and doctors, nurses are exhausted.
Don’t worry, this guys gonna save the world 🤪
this is fake news
Imagine all the people going about their life happy, and un-afraid, because they don't watch fake news. COVID will be over after the election.
fakenews COVID killed the flu, get this shit a Nobel Peace Prize NOW.
Obviously, no one has a clue. History will see this moment as the time Europe & America fell to the Chinese virus, & China's totalitarianism took over the world. So sad.
