According to one active duty nurse in NY, the hospital where she worked was mishandling patients in a way that almost guaranteed they would die, and quickly. Rumor had it the hospital got a large sum of money for every COVID patient it admitted, giving administrators incentive to keep the bodies moving.

"Rumour" and "according to ONE nurse"? Is that your idea of a compelling argument?
 
Silly. The unsaved critic typically seeks to dishonestly blame others for things which are not their fault. Americans need God in order to cure disgruntled bitterness, envy, anger, and unhappiness.

Really? Hasn't worked for over 2000 years so when do you expect all that serenity, blissful happiness and loveliness to occur? Soon?
 
Not true! 4545 people died (as of 8-16-20) in NY nursing homes. 2.4% of US total deaths (185K) and declining since NY state is averaging less than 10 deaths per day for the past few months. Texas has 2844, PA 3891, FL 2366.

LOL. So Cuomo "only" killed 4,545 people, not 11,000?

But 11,000 is sadly the correct number of deaths. NY counts Covid deaths differently. If someone catches Covid in a NY nursing home, then is transferred to a hospital and dies, it's not counted as a nursing home death. Other states still count that as a nursing home death.

Good thing Joe Biden is a God-fearing Christian man who cherishes his wife and doesn't brag about grabbing the genitals of young women and doesn't pay porn stars to sleep with him.
 
There were 1,015 COVID 19 deaths in America 2 days ago. That's over 185,000 deaths total.


UK had 8

France had 20

Germany had 1

Canada had 6

South Korea had 3


Could we have done better and saved more lives?


Coronavirus Update (Live): 25,229,932 Cases and 847,706 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Pandemic - Worldometer

What could we have done? Locked down more? You mean a 33% drop in GDP and over 11% unemployment wasn't good enough for you? You want more? You support a president who wants much higher numbers than that? Every single country on the planet who locked down and then opened back up is having increased cases.

Issued a national mask mandate like they did in California where they are having more cases and more deaths today than they had at the start of the mask mandate? Is that going to solve the problem? Sure didn't there so why would a national mask mandate be different?
 
...and Trump rallies. You conveniently forgot that part.

It does not matter that alarmists still fear mass gatherings will cause spikes in deaths. Some people would be afraid of their own shadows if the reporter on TV told them the shadow was a threat.

One doctor said she had not had a single fatality from treating COVID patients with hydroxychloroquine. I don't care if the whole world is scared stiff of the long used drug, I will recommend people with COVID check out that doctor 1st before checking into a city ward with a 98% fatality rate.

Yes, in fact, Jesus is returning to earth soon to set up His everlasting kingdom of peace.

I'm glad Joe has tried to stay clean, and only seems to have gotten caught up in one major sex scandal recently, involving the alleged rape of Tare Reade.

That scientific data should be incorporated into the mainstream dialogue. California increased regulations governing public gatherings and mask usage, and COVID deaths skyrocketed. There has got to be a rational explanation for that. Is anyone doing a study for the sake of the rest of us?
 
Evolution proves natural selection could not have invented sickness and disease, doesn't it?

no it doesn't, that's why you see virus mutate (evolve) to survive

So natural selection invented sickness and death? Why? Just to prove that the weak and sickly can die?

The fact is mask mandates don't work. The young invincible liberals are going to go to bars, beaches, parties, and protests without wearing masks, whether there is a mask mandate or not. The left's position seems to be that if people actually followed a mask mandate then it would work, even though the mask mandate obviously doesn't even work in liberal land because not even liberals follow it.
 
Me thinks they don't "Inflate" the death numbers like we do

I can't imagine why countries with a lower population would have less deaths.

Tara Reade is a serial accuser. Nobody believes her.

Holy mackerel. Natural selection allows those that are least equipped to survive the disease to pass while those that survive are able to pass on their stronger defense.

I have no idea how the evolution god jump-started original life on earth in a scientifically unexplainable miraculous way, but why did it invent death?
 
The US has 567 deaths per 1M people. Brazil, Sweden, Italy, Chile, Uk, Spain, Peru, all have more death per million.

We have less deaths.

Oh, now I understand, You are not the worst country but only the 10th worst country. That is much better of course...

But I prefer looking in the other direction. Maybe it would help to look at the countries that do a better job and learn from them and adapt their methods.

Yeah, every braying evangelical lunatic on street corners everywhere has been saying 'soon' for centuries! Should I make a note in my diary?

What a dumb post. How do you think this disease is transmitted if not through close contact? Do you ignore simple truths such as spikes seen in schools which reopened and had to close again, on purpose?

This disease is transmitted from COVID patient to rest home occupant by democrat design and command.

I have no doubt that we are looking at other countries and are using that information in our own response.
