At least in this article, they use more proper terminology. Other headlines just pin it all on C-19. Not only was he up in years, his 2003 stroke during a performance caused their tiger to bite and drag him like dead prey off the stage, causing severe and lasting injuries including the main artery that supplied his brain with oxygen. Another quite compromised individual (who happened to be famous) pushed over the edge. They even admit he was responding well to treatments (tho fail to state what those were). The MSM hype machine is like a dog on a bone with this and won't let go until every last person is running scared. IMO, they are paid hacks. Paid/controlled to generate a narrative of fear. Fear will steal your will and when you lose your will, your freedoms soon follow. Don't fall for it! Use discernment and pull the curtain back on MSM outlets to find "the rest of the story" and most importantly, the unbiased truth.

Don't forget how this scare was propped-up with model forecasts. Some will say those crazy high numbers coulda-woulda-shoulda happened minus lock-down, to which I give you AR and any other place that didn't jump into panic mode. Those same models used to strike fear that there'd be no ice left in the Arctic. Pfft

I've personally seen cars at almost every non-automotive factory in my city and neighboring municipalities. I'm a boots on the ground source.

Nor can you. CDC wasn't issuing pre-printed death cert's and encouraging the medical community to list every death of Peeps with "flu-like symptoms" as having died due to the flu. But with C-19 this is exactly one reason death rates seem much worse. Even heard of a case in the UK where a young man died in an accident on his motorcycle but testing positive for C-19 was listed as cause of death. Fam is furious since that death certificate allows no legal avenue to go after the other vehicle operator for compensation/damages. This entire thing was bungled from the word "go". We have a ton of lessons to learn from this event. Some of us who aren't sitting on "essential" govt jobs, don't even know when we will be able to work and support our households again. It's crap with a capital "C"!!

He may be an idiot but on this his stance is shared by many who understand how the human immune system functions. Those compromised, or too scared should remain in their bubbles. Everyone else that can should be back to business. Strengthening one's immune defense against disease is another side of the coin getting very little air time. Just like the rest of western medicine..we wait for a pill from big pharma.

I saw this outside of Lowell this afternoon. Kudos to these Peeps! Other side reads: "I AM ESSENTIAL"

Comparison attempts at this point would be like calling the final score in the bottom of the 1st. Could take a decade to unravel all the nonsense numbers from the real numbers and at least take a stab at the incidental deaths caused by the lock-down/shut-down orders. Not to mention life-long scars due to increased child/spousal abuse during this scare. Those won't be tallied ofc since they aren't deaths, but they're severe perhaps even disabling side-effects nonetheless.

Those two medical Doc's in CA were off their rockers. Because their take on this goes against the majority coined narrative they are censored? Hmm. What they've deducted based on hard testing numbers just confirms what has been known outside the official narrative for some time now. It makes total sense. It's obvious the initial knee-jerk reaction to isolate everyone was typical, if not the best choice in hindsight.

Yeah, no SH*T! Spending money pretending to have fun while being out of/off from work is the last thing people do when facing an uncertain future. Get real

Don't fear! They will "save" you with their vaccine!

"Are we setting ourselves up to face even a bigger onslaught of Covid cases, too?" No. We are being set-up. Need to reach herd immunity asap to minimize the damage. Hope you enjoyed life as you knew it.

Noice. Playing political scab in the midst of a tragedy. Should be ashamed of yourself! A pair of good thoughts you shared. Thx As for the NY'ers dying at home, I think many folks that might otherwise go into a hospital haven't due to any number of reasons. (you make your list) My bro-in-law recently passed at home, not in a hospital because that's where he wanted to spend his final hours, in familiar surroundings with fam, pets, etc. Even per this post, the "test" may be finding COVID-19 in everybody, and being listed as cause of death without any deeper understanding. Not saying the tests are phony, but the Italian's own gov't medical officer has been hushed for saying that in his professional opinion, only about 12% of their cases were strictly the virus, and not folks with 1 or more prior conditions complicating the matter. Personally, I'd like to get my life/liberties/future/hope/income and sense of normalcy back. The sooner the better. The post regarding suicides is legit. So too, is how many people will have died due to strokes and heart attacks and such because they couldn't get treatment or chose to stay away from the trauma centers. Have fun tracking this everyone. I'm moving on..

Somehow, COVID's managed to kick Pneumonia to the curb..

Can't wait to see all the boarded-up strip malls and shops on main street USA as brick-n-mortar is dealt a death blow. Most of 'em were living on borrowed time as it was..

3 confirmed cases/patients at the hospital down the street. This per my neighbor who works in their IT dept. (from home now ofc) I try to do my shopping in the county north of mine where there's only 5 cases and zero deaths. @Jackstraw Yeah, the country drive is another good reason I shop "away" from my home town, it gets me out of the house a little longer, and offers a small sense of normalcy amidst this bad situation.

Sadly, due to a very unfortunate industrial connection with other hardest hit regions of the globe, we are seeing our "safest state in the union" moniker getting tattered, torn, and pummeled by COVID-19.

Pure Michigan! Traditionally a good place to live and this stat from the state's COVID-19 site confirms one of the victims indeed had a good long life.

Per this article, other nations, even in crowded Asia are having far better success in keeping in-hospital care givers from contracting the virus after helping those needing care. Could our lack of simple hygiene practices be an Achilles's Heal here in the US? https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3077345/coronavirus-why-so-few-infections-singapores-health

Pure Michigan

Hmm. I never remember hearing about the great pandemic shut-down of '57. Only heard that they blamed the flop of the Edsel on an unfortunate timing with a recession that year.

at that girl gnawing on that bat, even if it is dead! Never been a "fear factor" guy. Kinda weak in the stomach for that stuff. Never understood what some folks found appealing about fish eyes either? If I were in a real life, stranded out in nature starvation scenario, I'd prolly just expire versus eating grubs, worms, etc to make it.

Incorrect. A contemplator of conspiracies, maybe Wasn't a "blame place". Plus, I've read/perused so many articles/links/tweets on COVID-19 the past few days I literally couldn't remember/find that particular article. (Shoulda figured someone would ask in here tho) You win the "astuteness award". Many sites have theories on how/why all this started, who's really behind it, what the "end game" is all about? Several good ones have been put forth, which makes getting to the bottom of it all the more difficult. I will say this much. There's always a "story behind the story". Did anyone know that Wuhan is the location of the only laboratory in China authorized and tasked with the study of all the deadliest known viruses (including samples of Ebola)? Some say COVID-19 may have been an accidental release from that lab due to lacks safety precautions. Others will tell you more like it was an "intentional accident". Others think maybe one or more rogue elements of our own government made it happen during/after the recent World Military Games hosted by Wuhan. IF indeed there's merit to the claim that it's 600% more harmful to Asian males the fact it started in China may connect some dots. Ofc, we'll likely never know the whole truth since this world is built on the exact opposite principle. Show me a govt that tells the "whole truth, nothing but the truth. so help you.."

Not only does this hit males much worse, it's said that this is 600% more deadly for asian males!

Here in Marshall, H1N1 took the life of a very healthy 21 yr old son of local pastors. Former captain of our football team and in about as good of shape as one can be. Woke up one night feeling poorly so they went into the hospital. Was gone just 2 days later. How merciless these viruses can be!

I'm not prejudice and wasn't talking about who is or isn't getting it. Got it now? My idea may or may not hold any merit but I am trying to figure out why this has shown up so heavily in Metro Detroit? Iran is near the top of the countries with the highest number of infected. Just a pure conjecture on my part that perhaps Peeps travelling from that region of the world unknowingly carried it to SEMI? Could also just be the amount of automotive industry related travelers to/from China as well. Just for discussionary purposes only. Maybe you or others have some better Intel?
