    1. @Vic Chavez You can’t blame schools or the govt when it like this for everything. Protests during a pandemic, not a bright idea. Sports during a pandemic, not a bright idea. Either call it all out or stfu.

      You think children playing in the playground really will have time to adjust their masks playing?
      Have you ever seen a cafeteria in High school?
      Middle school children don’t have time for social distance and precaution.
      They are kids. Playing and goofing off is what’s on their mind often times.

    4. What do you want protect from? Total death count for all causes shows, covid makes no difference. 2020 is all normal as compared to the last 6 years on a week by week basis. Since 6/23 total weekly reported death are blow normal. Somebody really got into your head on this one.

    5. @shoshenkis It makes perfect sense. There is a specific false outrage with the virus. Only be mad when they tell you or you don’t agree with science. However I am supposed to turn a blind eye to months or protests as if that wasn’t a factor during a pandemic and I am told that I should be mad that businesses want to open as opposed to the businesses that never closed because they are “essential”. Is school now not essential but somehow sports are and protests and mcdonalds?? Use logic and common sense and you can stay safe and retain your liberties just like protesting or sports, school shouldn’t be any different. The states have had months and plenty of money to decide how to become essential to open up but I guess if we should close down for “safety” then do you care to explain the reasons that I stated for the exceptions or we just gonna pretend the virus will pick and choose which places to spread.

  3. No one could possibly have seen this coming, especially after ignoring all the warnings that this was the *exact* thing that would happen.

    1. Send all those thank you letters to China for the
      Ch!nese virus. They deliberately attacked us to avoid their obligation to the trade agreement. Why do you think China made sure there was a specific clause in the trade agreement that stated “if there was a worldwide pandemic they won’t have to be held accountable to the trade agreement”. Coincidence?  I think not. Duh!

    2. @TWITTER HACKER-, Hasn’t Alex Acosta reduced the International Labor Affairs Bureau (ILAB)’s budget in the 2020 budget to $18.5 million? Yes he has. Cry me a river, he sure did epstein a sweetheart deal, i wonder if he “wished him the best” when epstein went to jail?

  8. We also need to remember that NOT dying DOESN’T mean that you come out unscathed.

    These are deaths and injuries that could and still can be prevented.

    1. @Souta Lore That’s not true as covid treatment and not for all states. NV has enacted severe restrictions, up to pharmacies are being allowed to refuse fulfilling HCQ prescriptions.

      It’s highly politicized.

    2. @Evan Koch A lot of the wealthy travel to countries, that allow treatments, that are outlawed in the US. Many actually believe the crap they promote. Sad, but true.

      *State pharmacy boards put the brakes on prescriptions
      *

      The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy says six states, so far, have taken steps to limit inappropriate prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine and preserve supplies for patients who take the medicine as approved. Those states are Texas, Louisiana, Ohio, North Carolina, Nevada and Idaho.

      “Based on reports we see from the states, pharmacists have a fairly good idea that what they’re seeing is prescribers prescribing for themselves and their families and stockpiling these medications rather than prescribing for patients,” says Carmen Catizone, the executive director of the NABP.”

      “More immediately, *there are the patients with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis who take hydroxychloroquine daily to reduce swelling and rashes* . Dr. Jeff Sparks says his patients at Brigham and Women’s Hospital were already fretting about having enough medicine on hand if stores close or it’s hard for them to go out.”

      “Some patients are already being told they can’t get the medication or can get only a limited supply. The Lupus Foundation has asked congressional leaders to ensure supplies for lupus patients.

      Sparks says hydroxychloroquine is what keeps many of his patients stable.

      “So even if patients are doing well, stopping the medication could cause them to flare, which means that they then need to go on other immunosuppressants … or even get admitted and potentially get exposed [to the coronavirus] in the clinical setting,” Sparks says.”

      As I said – the medicine is needed by people who require it to remain out of the hospital. There are states who are preventing people who don’t have a diagnosis that requires HCQ from getting it. Sounds good to me. Rather someone who needs it to remain mobile and relatively healthy to get, rather than some idiot that thinks it’ll help them with corona.

      Though…I get the feeling you don’t much care for those who take the medicine as approved and it would be perfectly fine to you if your selfishness put them in the hospital or outright killed them.

      Sad.

  9. One hundred thousand children got sick with the virus last month, he says. Only they didn’t have any symptoms, and they didn’t know it. CNN drops pearls of wisdom like rodents drop turds.

    1. A flu happens every year. Total death count for all causes shows, this year is no different that the last 6 years. No pandemic. No more death than normal. Cut the crap talking about cases and look how many actually die and you will come to the conclusion, you have been sold another giant nothing burger.

    3. @penguin – It may not be, but looking at the death count, for a scamdemic, that projected 2.2 Million would die, if we don’t shut down the world economy, makes a lot of sense to expose this ginormous fear nothing burger.

      Reply

    5. @WDEMMEL You’re blatantly incorrect and you’re un-supported nonsense is really annoying to read. “A flu happens every year”. Last flu season between 30-60k people died. Covid 19 has killed 163k. Anyone who reads any data/looks at any numbers can debunk any of the nonsense conservative conspiracy theorists say.

      You’re personal delusion about what you think the virus is holds 0 relevance. Most logical people look at data and don’t care about the conspiracy theories that nonsense spewers (as yourself) say.

  14. Parents before COVID: My kids are on their cellphone all day. Everybody brings their cellphone to the table when we eat. My kids are always on the computer, something called Twitch, playing video games for hours like Fortnite and Call of Duty. I just bought my kids the three newest video games! I had to get to the store early before they ran out. They’re going to their friends house for a sleepover to play them all.

    SAME Parents during COVID: My kids don’t know how to log on and get into their Google Classroom. I don’t want my kids staying in front of computers all day. I don’t think it’s healthy. I couldn’t find any computers/chromebooks for sale at the store.

    Kids before the COVID to Parents: You don’t know how to log into Facebook on your iPhone?! You don’t know how to take a selfie?! You just open the camera app and pose away from your face. This is how you post a selfie on Instagram. You don’t know how to send an email?! Here, this is where all your saved photos are at. You’re old.

    Same Kids during COVID to Parents: I don’t know how to log into Google Classroom, it’s too hard.
    How do you open the assignment? I don’t know what to press. I don’t know how to submit my assignment. How do I take a picture of my assignment and email it to my teacher?!

    Kids before the COVID to Parents: I don’t need a babysitter, I’m not a baby. I’m old enough to do it myself. I gotta do some research on the internet for information to put in my essay. I’m taking the TikTok challenge and posting it.

    Same Kids during COVID to Parents: Mom, I can’t stay home by myself! I’m just a kid. Who’s going to watch me?! Who’s going to help me get on the computer?! How do I get my assignment?! I don’t know how to use the camera!

    3. Yep Nostradamus ain’t got nothing on me. I was literally telling my spouse watch CNN come out with a report saying that children are now the greatest danger known to man. This tyranny is such a political farce. So many non thinkers and non questioners gladly put on face mask give up their livelihood, destroy neighborhoods, destroying people’s lives, all because of these pedophile investigations, the clampdown on human trafficking, the economy doing well and putting the American people and jobs first instead of the politicians. So they had to shut everything down. CNN MSNBC ABC s are in the back pockets of all those who hate America many of them in the office doing everything they can to destroy the country and ruin everyone’s lives and turn this place into a Marxist hell. And all the gullible face maskers who were the symbol on their facesubconsciously knowing that even the air they breathe is no longer free just walk about like zombies afraid of a virus that hasn’t killed more than they average flu yet. Not only has it not caught up half of them are not even real covid-19 deaths. You have a 99.9% chance of not catching the virus. You have a 99.8 chance of recovering. You have half the chance of not showing any symptoms whatever. There is no reason for this lockdown except for pure flat-out tyranny. You guys really want people like mayor Lightfoot, Cuba loving de Blasio, communist Cuomo, Newsom the nephew to Nancy Pelosi running the country?? do you really like the way California is or how almost ANY other Democratic state is right now?? WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT? IT’S LIKE PUNCHING YOURSELF IN THE FACE WITH A JACKHAMMER AND WONDERING WHY THERE’S SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH YOUR FACE! WAKE UP!

    4. @Li Liu yeah those guys aren’t destroying their economy. there’s several Nations who have never shut down and they’re doing perfectly fine with no different numbers than those who are killing themselves with the shutdown’s. This is 100% political and a mind screw so that they can issue in a whole different type of world and say it’s because of the virus. This is such a farce. At least the flu virus kills people without having to have its numbers padded. Even with all the padding coat has not even past the normal flu. how scared would everyone be of the flu if they heard about someone catching the flu every single day 7 days a week? Well they won’t have to worry about it because the flu has conveniently disappeared.
