    The nation officially marks the somber realization that one million Americans have been lost to COVID.

    Flags were set to half mast to honor those we have lost.

    A look at the numbers gives us perhaps a hint as to why there are so many people who are trying to pretend that COVID is not serious.

    Over a million Americans have died from COVID, yes, but more than 81 million Americans have gotten the disease and recovered from it.

    For those people who do not watch reliable news programming or spend any time at all checking out news stories for themselves to decide what is real, for those people who get most of their information from word of mouth, social media, or rumors, they are far more likely to know someone who has recovered from the disease than to know someone who died from it.

    Their conclusion? 'Oh, it's not that bad.'

    One out of 327 Americans has died from COVID.

    But how many people even know 327 other people personally?

    Odds are that most people do not even know anyone who has died from COVID.

    So they go on rumors and think it's not so bad.

    The fools.

    I love how the "experts" are claiming that there will be a huge problem in about 6 months, when they have over two years been wrong about almost everything....or lying.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    DARK AGES SUCK!

    Hello politalker
    Wednesday and still only one US citizen has contracted the deadly bird flu BUT, there is hope. The CDC is now very concerned about an outbreak of Monkeypox.
    More fodder for you to fear.

    The Meme Moron is on a roll. For the sake of the data thread I'd personally request that the asshole is thread-banned in retrospect. He's only an opinion-less conduit for trash from an external site anyway.
    Let him start his own pro-infection thread.

    Does anyone follow this any longer? Asking for a friend...
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle
