I got the Covid

[PILOON]

Yep, good move.

Addicts and inmates since they are such valuable contributors to society!
But they have missed the other valuable citizens,
The homeless.

Was saying the other day------
The free injection sites should all be located in the cemetery, they might get a message,

Stupid enough for ya there, PRNDL? Dawn Wells dead of COVID-19; 'Gilligan's Island' star was 82

And you pointing out an 82 year old person died from Covid make you look what? Smart?
Thats not possible

My parent's friends were infected when the daughter came to visit. They were very sick but did survive. These people were not so lucky when a family member did a hair cut. Both parents died within 10 days of each other.

They did everything right. But after one at-home haircut, a husband and wife died of Covid-19

Certainly a very informative report!
Particularly the quote: "the more than 1.7 million people who have died from Coronavirus in the US".
Death count has apparently exploded by nearly 1.4 million since last night ?

If you scroll to the bottom of the report, you’ll find out the source of the information. CNN

Of course.......I should have known!
The ..... Communist News Network.

 

[the old grind]

Don't ya just hate it when they hand out freebies to those people even when its something you can't trust and don't want?

Lotta shots bein' fired here, but too many ricochets. :laughing:

IMO, dissatisfaction deaths are under-reported.

(Still waiting to see who moves to Canada.)

:mur: 500 doses of the Moderna vaccine wasted....

5?? vaccine doses discarded at clinic due to 'human error'

....and, the person did it intentionally too.

Old report....1.8+ million dead worldwide now. Yep, they did a typo.

 

[lilranch2001]

I doubt coming from CNN that it was a typo, more like intentional fake news

 

[ruffdog]

Whatever.....I sure hope Eddie is doing ok though.

 

[lilranch2001]

Sooooo you are saying a huge corporation is so lax in their editing they cannot get a simple fact, well a rather IMPORTANT fact correct??

No matter what, it does not speak highly of CNN!

 

[the old grind]

I wonder who some people do speak highly of, esp when they won't.

 

[Mat4644]

Dawn Wells had serious health issues for over 4 years. Amazing how other types of deaths from such issues as cancer and heart disease have dropped during this pandemic. Why did the gov change cause of death reporting for this outbreak? We will never know the true data numbers now.

 

[ruffdog]

We will never know the true data numbers now.

Being that Covid went political from day one, is there anyone that really thought that there was such a thing as "true data numbers"? The train has crashed. We can either keep pointing fingers or put it back on the tracks.

You assume it was CNN that made the error ... but it could have just as easily been the local CBS affiliate that claimed to have sourced it from CNN.

You don’t have to go to all that trouble ... CNN has the byline ... just under the headline and date at the top.

 

[California]

You dont have to go to all that trouble ... CNN has the byline ... just under the headline and date at the top.

And that's why everyone needs to read news from varied, perhaps contrasting, sources before you 'know' something. Approximate US and worldwide numbers should be part of everyone's 'common knowledge' by now.

In approximate numbers - 350,000 of those 1.8 million deaths are in the US. With 4% of the world population.


Anyhow - Eddie, we hope you and your wife feel better soon!

 

[Larry Caldwell]

Yes, yes I am. Why? I've had COVID. My entire family has had it. We got it before Thanksgiving. We know exactly who we got it from and where. An anti-masking COVID denier relative who refused to where their mask as they attended a necessary family function to turn off someone's defibrillator. Between Thanksgiving, bereavement leave, COVID leave, and Christmas leave, I'll have worked 6 out of 42 days and missed 15 days of actual work. 5 of those I'd have missed due to bereavement anyway, so I missed 10 days of work due to the above mentioned relative.

So yes, I have a horse in this race. I'm trying to post facts, not opinion, but sometimes things get the best of me.

Like this gem on the nightly news tonight and the wonderful plan that was put in place to deal with vaccine distribution...

Operation Warp Speed at a crawl: Adequately vaccinating Americans will take 10 years at current pace

They should have turned distribution over to Amazon. Everybody would have had their vaccine by Christmas morning.

Nah can't be true!
FOX news never reports facts!
Try ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC for accurate reporting!
I did just hear that FOX report also.
Those folks just gotta be lying!

Fox News actually has news reporters, but Tucker Carlson isn't one of them. They don't make a clear distinction between news and editorial rants. Wallace is a news reporter, Carlson is not.

Wallace is an interviewer with an obvious bias.
