That's the percentage of republicans who think the death toll from covid in america is acceptable.

Think about this, not even ten percent of our population has been infected. What if that number jumps to thirty percent? Would the death toll still be acceptable to republicans?

And now the right wants your kids to go back to school. Heartwarming no?

57 percent accept over 175,000 dead when it did not have to happen this way. Just completely disgusting.

Funny you should mention that since Donnie boy has now added Dr Atlas, a radiologist to his COVID team. I will leave it to Donnie Boy to explain what a Radiologist has to do with epidemiology. Atlas FAVORS herd immunity via transmission. Lets see, if we have 170,000 deaths out of 5M cases, and it takes at least 60-70% of the population to reach any sort of meaningful herd immunity, how many deaths would we have at lets say 225K cases?

I have a better idea. Lets take the CDC estimates for cases at face value. They recently claimed that the actual number for cases could be 10x higher than the reported number of 5M. Well OK, that would turn 5M cases into 50M cases. Same math. If we have 170k deaths from 50M cases since it still takes 60-70 of the population to reach any reasonable level of herd immunity, if we have 170k dead from 50M cases, what would we have for 200M cases. I will let you guys calculate the rest.

Lower than trump swore it would?

Less than 15. Gone by April.

I want the number who died because he sat on his hands for weeks and then encouraged his minions to defy mitigation efforts.

That's how many LESS deaths I want.

Serial killer in the oval office with his coronavirus 19 caliber machine gun spraying Americans from coast to coast.

Putin loves it.

And whatever Putin loves so do his Rowers.

The death toll is acceptable. It’s reality. The fact of the number of people who died is something you logically can only accept.

Do you accept that the titanic is at bottom of the ocean?

You can't think what you want. The death toll is unavoidable until there's a vaccine. Even then, there will still be kung flu deaths.

The idea that the government could have kept the death toll at zero is the most idiotic thing the Left has ever come up with. And that's saying something...lol

Unavoidable except if you live in another country that takes the virus seriously...

Considering leftist D’s blew up just over air travel being banned from China, how exactly would you have stopped a coronavirus which is airborne and spreads as easily as the common cold?

For years we had to endure Republicans telling us that the Obama administration let three Americans in a war zone die and that it warranted back to back investigations.

Eight years later Republicans literally allowed a pandemic to sweep across the nation because they thought only blue states would get hit, and 181,000 people have died as a result. And they find that number "acceptable."

Why anybody still takes Republican arguments seriously is absolutely beyond me. They lie incessantly, have no discernible morals and are motivated solely by trolling people they hate.

Seriously, **** these people to hell and back.

Listen to the expert scientists and professionals in the medical field instead of letting politics dictate decision making.

And how many times did the experts change their opinion?

I would hope as often as new information and data change the understanding of the pandemic.

So flip flopping on mask wearing a bunch of times, no human to human transmission has occurred, it’s safe etc etc .. you give them a gold star but blame Trump Roflmao ... seriously that is just nonsensical.. the bug was likely spreading in the US before anyone knew

Right wing propaganda is very effective

Wealth wants all of us working. Billionaires have made a ton of money during the pandemic while staying safe at home behind the walls of their.gated communities

We are expendable
