    1. @Nonya Bidness Do your math instead of spreading misinformation: Current US covid infections: about 9,190,000 and about 234,000 deaths equals mortality of around 2.55%,
      If mortality was only 0.054%, the US would have only around 4,960 deaths, based on 9,190,000 infections!

  1. And all of these people will be out trick or treating this weekend! Everyone be careful-mask up. Don’t let your guard down.

    1. The kids and I are skipping trick or treating and going shopping the next morning to celebrate Half Price Candy Day instead lol

    2. @Shoes are being reviewed Sadly, I think your are correct, especially with so many seniors down there. Be careful. Be well 😷✌️

    3. @Stephanie P Same with me and my family. My kids are 12 and 14, so they don’t want to go anyway thank God! We’re gonna watch spooky movies, make popcorn and candy apples, and eat some candy! Best thing Americans can do right now is STAY HOME!! ❤️❤️

    1. @Peace Dæmon 15 years ago? What the hell are you talking about? Listen that hydrochlorican is NOT a cure for COVID-19. A 17 year old teenager died trying to self medicate here’s her story https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/07/07/teen-who-died-covid-19-got-hydroxychloroquine-treatment-home/5389870002/ .. oh & here’s the list of people who also died from this same drug https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/may/22/hydroxychloroquine-trumps-covid-19-cure-increases-deaths-global-study-finds

      The DATA is BS.There are no more cases from rallies than there were for riots.The numbers are inflated, always were. There are almost no heart attack deaths this year… there was NO flu season in South America. Car wreck deaths, suicides have been labeled covid. Look at the DATA on deaths, they are down..around the world, we ARE rounding the corner. Joe will shut down the country..that is his answer to the virus…which will be the deaths of hundreds of thousands through alcohol and drug abuse, suicides and just ruined lives. Joe will be replaces in a few months by the far left socialist/communists and there will never be another fair election… they will end the electoral college, legalize 20 million illegals and never let go of power…ever. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. If you think Trump is dictator, which is stupid because all dictators were socialist/communist fascist, wait until these people get in power…..your children will never see freedom again. Socialism/communism is ALL about control of every aspect of your lives. Your property will belong to the state. You will be told what to do, think, and say. Read up on Stalin and Mao.

    3. @William Wallace It seems like you’ve been trained because I’ve noticed all you Trump supporters are EXTREMELY paranoid & fearmongering

    4. Trump got the US out of the Obama/Biden Iran Nuke Deal which will save the lives of your children. Trump, 1st American President in 39 years that did not start a war. Trump smart enough to fight economic wars rather than spill our blood. Obama destabilized Syria and Libya which is going to come back and bite us. Trump actually hurt his base while he negotiated a better deal with China…something a career politician would never do. If you think career politicians are the answer, you’re going to get the government you deserve.

    1. @Diane Wentz Certain people feel the need to try to we-write {right} history.Let’s make sure we vote, to concentrate on writing the present,and the future to replace these chumps that are running the show now.

      Meditation, Prayer and Spiritual Healing: The Evidence
      From NCBI https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3396089
      Speak quietly out loud or in normal voice “God, please make my
      health perfect and eliminate harmful virus. Thank you.” Repeat every 1-2 hours (8-16 times a day) as long as the pandemic lasts and until a safe vaccine or cure is available. This helps. No cost. https://www.howtocallongodforhelp.com
      Thoughts play a major role in healing. Testing of new drugs requires single and double blind studies. In a single blind study, the participants in the clinical trial do not know if they are receiving the placebo or the real treatment. In a double-blind study, both the participants and the experimenters do not know which group got the placebo and which got the experimental treatment

    2. or he’s got a brain and recognizes the virus has a 99.8% survival rate even in the worst groups and that the mask does nothing besides give a false sense of security and aid in the spread of the virus unless properly put on, worn, discarded and in the case of cloth masks, washed twice a day in a hospital washing machine.
      But hey keep living in fear of nothing…

    3. The sad statistics about herd immunity is that using this method has an estimated 20% death rate (original stats).That is 62 million Americans if no mask, no social distancing, no medical intervention would die using herd immunity. Currently the mixed herd immunity which is happening because not enough people will social distance or wear mask is 5% needing ventilators thats 15 million Americans on ventilators

    4. @MrGoodeats Are you a scientist?, or just someone with the dumb mindset as Trump. It’s being concerned of the fellow human being. What selfishness

  2. Alot of those people come from other regions to attend. Many of those will take the virus with them. This means the increase in cases would be much greater if they were all from the same region.

  3. It seems they can’t think beyond the ends of their noses. Imagine being a human who needs several family members to die to convince them to wear a mask!

    1. Several of my family members got it. Nobody died. Nobody even had serious symptoms. And what symptoms they did have lasted a few days. One of them is 94 years old.
      “Getting” cv19 is no more deadly than stepping into your car to drive to work. Sure, you might die, but life is risk and its worth the risk.

      Live your life folks – without fear.

    2. @Rob Wells – Sorry, don’t believe your ‘story’ at all! My 3 kids & I are ‘long haulers’ after surviving COVID & it was far from a ‘few days’.. my dad didn’t survive so take your misinformation BS elsewhere 😡

    1. Because when riots were happening and protest, these same scientists said that there was no correlations for transmission of covid.

    2. @Dan13lMece I I’m pretty sure that scientists and the medical community in general have been pretty consistent about their beliefs on the transmission of the virus, but if you can provide a source that clearly shows “these same scientists” flip-flopping on their stance, I would genuinely like to see that, please.

  4. This doesn’t even need to be news, it’s clear that more gatherings make Covid-19 happy

    1. @RegainingLife It’s clear that you have no life and instead you spend your time trolling CNN videos

    2. Yes it is so upsetting that a few people may get the sniffles. How horrible they have not shut their lives down like cowards over what is basically a super flu.

  5. ******** IF YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT THE CORONA-VIRUS, WEAR A MASK AND “SELF QUARANTINE”……..AND LEAVE THE REST OF US ALONE. ********

    1. Trump needs them to feed his ego. The narcissist doesn’t care about the Covid risks to his followers or their families or who they transmit it to. Keeps us in this separate state waiting to open up businesses when Covid rates finally go down.

    2. @Lori Love “covid risks” it has a 99.6 survival rate. All people like you do reacting like this makes the left look like a bunch of pussies

    3. It’s nice to see a larger and larger segment of our population understanding/learning about personality disorders, a form of mental illness. When you understand overt malignant narcissistic personality disorder this all makes perfect sense, and it also reveals why it’s so baffling to attempt reason with any of it. If you get that much, congratulations; you use some level of reasoning in your life, and hold some semblance of sanity in your brain synapses.

    4. @JC “you’re wrong” provides no evidence to go against what the CDC put out yesterday. Oh wise person what was I wrong about?

  6. American people knows how to take care themselves. They are free want they want to do.They are not all depending to the government so pls. Do mot always used covid attract the government. You media also have a responsibility how to help the government on how to reach the people and tells what to do.

  7. No one talks about Herman K. He died shortly after the Oklahoma rally. He was a Republican and a huge supporter. HE IS DEAD yet nothing😳 became of it.

    1. Michael Hipple so the amount of time alive is irrelevant then? Have you considered jumping off a cliff? Everyone dies, so.. go for it, why not? What’s the difference?

  8. “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.”

    ― Mark Twain

    1. @Clorox bleach that’s cuz your young there was a time when nevada and Atlantic city were the only 2 places you could gamble. The mob stole out of them everyday a suite case full of cash left the count room. But they knew how to keep the doors open.

    2. This person IS DEFINITELY LOOKING FOR A COOKIE!! Blows my mind when people resort to attention seeking behavior with the VERY PEOPLE THEY PUBLICLY POINT OUT AS “A FAILURE & BENEATH YOU!”. WHILST AT THE SAME TIME GIVING SOME POINTERS ON HOW WE SHOULD BE A GOOD PERSON LIKE “YOU”..and END BY “WISHING EVERYONE WELL”..cuz, ITS THE PROPER THING TO DO, AFTER THROWING A ROCK AT A RANDOM UNSUSPECTING STRANGERS HEAD!! This is CLASSIC OLD SCHOOL AMERICANA THINKING!! THIS IS PART OF THE REASON EVERYTHING WENT DOWN THE TOILET AND YOUR SWIMMING IN SEWAGE BUT STILL BELIEVE YOU ARE GREAT.. FREE.. RIGHT.. and SAFE????????? Surprise surprise.. YOU WERE ONE OF THE PROBLEMS-NOT THE ANSWER!!

    3. @Wayne Baehler I think I agree with you, but you should update your references. No one knows what an old fashion penny gum drop is. Me neither, and I’m pretty old.

    4. @Love Light I love your name. Not sure where you’re going with your narrative. You should cool it with THECAPS!!!! Try some decaf. Be cool. Take it easy. Peaceful easy feeling.
