One million Americans have now died from the coronavirus, according to an announcement made Thursday by President Joe Biden, marking a long-dreaded milestone for an incomprehensible tragedy.

"Today, we mark a tragic milestone: one million American lives lost to COVID-19. One million empty chairs around the dinner table. Each an irreplaceable loss. Each leaving behind a family, a community, and a nation forever changed because of this pandemic. Jill and I pray for each of them," Biden said in a statement. "As a nation, we must not grow numb to such sorrow. To heal, we must remember."

Both would be my guess, but it isn’t stated in the article.

Died of being denied access to safe therapeutics. Died of being trapped in rest homes with infected persons.

The death toll from breathing air was far higher. Provided you count deaths of people who breathed air as a death from breathing air.

Maybe it’s over 1,000,000 Covid deaths. Maybe it’s only 1,000.

Regardless, the real outrage is that no one in power is interested in just where the virus originated. You’d think that would be a top priority. But no one seems to care.

I guess Chinese influence trumps common sense.

On average, more than 300 Americans still dying of COVID-19 every day

Although COVID-19 death rates are significantly lower than they were
in the winter of 2021, when more than an average of 3,400 Americans
were dying from the virus every day, the death toll is still averaging
more than 300 a day, according to federal data.

Oh wait, that’s for 2 years. So 30,000.

Covid 2019-2022 will be seen by historians as the biggest criminal fraud in the history of the United States.

No one died of “Covid”, thousands died from political treachery, improper or no treatment, untimely treatment, lockdowns, media support and so on.

And why should we believe anything the government has to say?

Agreed.

No way it’s been that many.

We’ll never know the true number but I honestly believe it’s a fraction of what they’re trying to get us to believe.

So can we admit that the CDC has been a miserable failure over this, or are we still in, “it could have been so much worse” mode?

I don’t believe thee numbers!! I do believe the pandemic was a political tool and numbers were manipulated to serve the lefty cause.

You don’t have to but people died regardless of the cause.
Personally I don’t know of a single person that has died
from Covid. The families know they died from something.

Fauci and Gates should be swinging by their broken necks for crimes against humanity.

Our government has been about as honest to us about COVID as has China’s has been to their people.
