“Show me in the past where the government identified sick people, and -demanded- they be housed in nursing homes right beside uninfected elderly people.”

That was basically in NY and a few other places. Vast majority of country did not do so and entire nursing homes died or nearly so. No one was moved into the nuns retirement home where all 9 nuns died in the span of 5-6 days.

PROBABLY did NOT die of Covid.
PROBABLY DID die of the Flu and had been misdiagnosed due to faulty testing.

Because the Dems wear masks.


Funny....that’s the EXACT line that the libs, on Twitter, are posting regarding this Congress-elect’s death, to Kevin McCarthy.

Hmmmm.

Btw.....studies have proven masks don’t work....especially when worn only for show, as the DEMS wear them (look how many have been caught ripping their masks off, once they think cams are off.....or, not even wearing them, at all...Nanzi’s salon pic, etc, etc)

“The difference is it spreads more easily and is less lethal.”

No one knows what this virus is going to do long term.

It is not a ‘flu’... A more appropriate name is the ‘Wuhan Whoopsie”

Because Cuomo forced nursing homes to accept Covid patients.

The Left wants the body count as high as possible to maintain the hysteria.

He was in critical condition but had recently shown signs of improvement when he “apparently suffered a cardiac event this evening that was refractory to all resuscitation efforts,” said Dr. G.E. Ghali, of LSU Health Shreveport.

Many die because we’ve politicized the treatments and research that that work.

Early treatment is rarely offered (except for VVIPa) and many have been told its too dangerous to prescribe treatments that have shown good results in peer reviewed studies.

Because Trump mentioned HCQ, its been outlawed for off-lable use in some states, warned against by the AMA (since retracted, but don’t let that change the dogma). HCQ (or another zinc ionophore) + Zinc + C + D given early has a remarkable suppression of Ovid reproduction and allows the immune system time needed to develop the antibodies needed to protect us.

I couldn’t have said it better, you cut through the BS and got right to the point. Our economy is completly destroyed because of the “kooks” who subscribe to this hoax. I am saddened that my children are missing what should be the best time of their lives being locked up over this crap. I suppoose that’s ok as long as the “kooks” feel safe.

Really? A 4 year old child died of complications from COVID-19 around Syracuse, NY.

Is it common? No. Does it happen? Yes. Perhaps they are outliers?

Regardless, it’s sad.

Masks dont stop viruses. Thye stop germs. Buy a mask and read the disclaimer.

He died because he had low D3, zinc and vit C. You dont fight this being on offense. Spend $15 and take them daily. Not 100% (more like 70-75%) but better than nothing.

“Because Cuomo forced nursing homes to accept Covid patients.”

Yes he did but other parts of the country did not do so and entire population or nearly so of nursing homes died inother parts of the country.

“The Left wants the body count as high as possible to maintain the hysteria”

Russia just raised the covid deaths from 50k to 190k overnight. Why would Putin do that? From the article I just read countries other than US have vastly lowered their true deaths. India for starters. They are trying to attract western countries leaving China. Do you think if they posted their real numbers companies would still set up shop there?

Common things occur commonly.

Rare things occur rarely.

And it is quite rare for a 41 year old White male without any underlying health problems to die from Covid.

Health care providers were given malpractice immunity during the Covid crisis in Louisiana (and most everywhere else). If current Covid treatment meets standards of care, why would they need to do this?

LSA-R.S. 29:771(B)(2)(c) orders that during a state of public health emergency, any health care provider[2] is not civilly liable for causing the death of, or injury to, any person or damage to any property.

PROBABLY did NOT die of Covid.
PROBABLY DID die of the Flu

Flu is about 0.02% lethal in his age range. COVID more like 0.1% Five times more likely to be COVID than flu in general. We know next-to-nothing about his particular case however.
