It’s trying to kill us. No shit! Did he think physicians were lying? Don’t you know that covid is just one huge conspiracy by the pharmaceutical companies, medical establishment, etc. in order to gain control over the world. Actually, we all should be incredibly impressed that so many doctors and companies managed to all conspire together well enough to shut down the world. Ma6be politicians should take lessons… /s

Good thing he's got some stellar healthcare coverage! 55 days in the hospital on a respirator. That's gotta be a big hospital bill. And it looks like he got a kidney transplant in record time... (maybe the donor had close ties to him and so it went faster?) He beat out about 100K other people waiting for kidneys. Yeah, when I read: He said the experience brought much clarity: ‘this disease wants to kill us.’ Covid is real and dangerous. I heard the unsaid smug "but it didn't kill me!!! I got money!!! if you got money - no need to worry about Covid19." This isn’t quite fair. If you have someone willing to donate a kidney to you, you aren’t exactly competing for the 100k kidneys that those who have no family or friends that are viable donors. True. not quite fair. I assume he had someone in his family who was willing and able to donate a kidney. It's still a big expense and a life changing thing for him and the donor that may not have needed to happen if his organ failure was related to his having had Covid19.

It didn’t need to happen.

So there were at least 14 studies into the efficacy of ivermectin to treat the coronavirus. Which doesn't seem like, as Paul has contended, no one is willing to do studies on the drug because they hate Donald Trump. Paul's problem isn't that ivermectin is being ignored as a potential treatment for Covid-19 patients. It's that the data, which makes clear there is no benefit (at least to date) of using the drug, doesn't comport with what his base wants to believe. Which is his problem, not ours. www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/rand-paul-has-a-very-wacky-theory-about-ivermectin/ar-AANWJLu?ocid=msedgntpI think we should start putting warning labels on people and start with Rand Paul.

It’s interesting how some of these Covid-isn’t-a-thing people who get Covid admit Covid actually is a very bad thing and can kill you - but others remain convinced Covid is a hoax right up to their deaths. Humans can be very stubborn.

and when are the others going to wake up? and draw parallels to climate change? Unfortunately, it's a huge leap to expect them to reflect on climate change lies too. This is causing people to die right now, and they can't accept it. Climate change deaths will be a slow burn.

Texas guy died at 30 from Covid www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/wireStory/texas-man-worked-covid-measures-dies-virus-79708696He has three kids and a fourth on the way. He led efforts to organize a Freedom Rally in San Angelo and demanded that the Dan Angelo school district roll back their Covid measures. When he got sick, he refused to get tested and took ivermectin- so I guess that isn’t a magical cure after all. I don’t know if what I think. On the one hand, such a terrible tragedy for his four little kids. On the other hand - this almost starts to look like God smiting the wicked - or at least, some serious karma.

You act stupid, you pay the stupid tax. So many people criticize the poor because of their poor choices. Why is this any different? Because he died? Sorry, if you are reckless with your health, your loved ones will always pay the price

Having a hard time posting a link, but Miami herald is reporting that DeSanti changed how deaths are reported. In the new math way. Florida shows a weekly report of 46 new deaths a day. So the Covid surge has peaked! It’s all good!
Old math way, death data would be 262 deaths per day.
Whoopsie!!

Florida is just leap frogging other states in the Deaths per Million - today the WorldoMeter shows it as 2,048 deaths per million... That's 16 more deaths per million than a day ago... Looks like the deaths per day are back up into the 2 previous 'surge' number range. I wonder how they are handling all the bodies - based on the "no one is dying" face that seems to be put forward (or at least by my relatives - who watch TV news and get their info from that source). And this evening the World-o-meter is showing Florida with 2,074 deaths per million.... that's pretty amazing considering hardly anyone is dying from Covid19 in Florida. And Florida Deaths per Million just jumped to 2,138 deaths per million. My Florida relatives have gone strangely silent on Covid19.

it looks like the reporting is so lagged that no one is hearing about it. Checking the worldmeters graphs for the day I started this thread, the number of deaths in FL is over 200 and every day that week. I had been checking back, but not that far so looks like the reporting on any day is getting upped incrementally for a long period of time to avoid headlines like 263 deaths on Aug 15th - which it now has in the graph.

And those that don’t (see above) would rather deflect or ignore inconvenient facts. In may 2020, analysis showed exactly what you stated, that it was likely that deaths were likely 30% higher.

Tucker Carlson is encouraging people to falsify vaccine cards and says people who have been making efforts to control the spread of Covid are tyrants and should be punished.
Fox requires people who work there to be vaccinated. Tucker needs to quit such a tyrannical company. Please quit.

Hmm wonder what he would have to save if we did the same thing with voter registration.

Fox needs to grow some balls and have in bold words at the bottom of the screen "the person talking has been vaccinated".

Remember when there was outrage on the right even at the mention of 100's of thousands of americans dying? propaganda, fear mongering, etc. Now it's happening and no one cares anymore. Remember in March/April 2020 we were all (the sensible people anyway!) being so caerful. Msot people now are just blase, don't even bother to avoid unmasked on the street. Jogging past within 12 inches. Common! Keep you covid breath to yourself, you panting jackass....

Three grown ass adults showed up at an elementary school in Arizona with zip ties wanting to do a citizen’s arrest on the principal because she told them their child was going to have to go into quarantine, which would make him miss a field trip.
Fortunately the principal was able to slip out of her office and call the cops.
Isn’t it difficult enough to be a principal or teacher during these chaotic times without assholes with zip ties trying to arrest you for trying to keep all the other kids on the field trip from possibly getting sick?
Idiots.
