    1. @Waynes World and that’s why I know you aren’t American. On top of that, the Republican party is destroying itself because of Trump, so now more Dems like Biden are going to keep winning. Just like they did in Georgia.
      Have fun watching your favorite, orange man get completely defrauded in the next coming months.

    1. @Bigdaddyjim91 Because of course only YOU know better right? Sadly YOU have been told information that you believe is true because it fits a narrative you are trying to perpetuate. However you don’t have access to the data that would prove these numbers incorrect. Fortunately there are statistical sites that can not so much prove the numbers but rather illuminate the calculation used to calculate the stats. This is important to know because the the volume of data and swiftness of changing values makes those numbers presented inaccurate only due to, like I said, quickly changing values. However the numbers themselves don’t mean as much as the trajectory the numbers are taking. In other words the increased volume of cases is directly linked to the increasing death rates. Got it? Maybe it will affect you, maybe it won’t. But if it doesn’t, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Just don’t go infect any other innocent person with irresponsible actions. And pls, do a solid and don’t bother with the vaccine because if you don’t believe the threat is real, save your shots for someone who actually needs them.

  1. And watch Republicans try to blame this on Biden, despite having only been in office a handful of months, while he has to pick up this and every other mess Trump left behind.

    1. The Republicans blamed and still blame President Obama for the mess Bush left no thanks for having saved the economy no thanks from trump for having inherited a strong economy! So I wouldn’t be surprised if the GOP Republicans and fox fake news will start criticising President elect Biden when he takes office! The American people should vote this people out of office in 2022 they should clean the mess this enablers have contributed! And I think trump should be prosecuted and jailed! He should be made an example for any other crazy future President who thinks he can also can get away with everything and not pay the price!😢

  2. Orange jelly in The WH, never took it seriously right from the beginning calling it a hoax, inject bleach etc, even saying it now is horrific, and still he and his followers have super spreader events, they dumb as a bucket of rocks.

  3. REPUBLICANS can NEVER claim to be PRO-LIFE EVER again after refusing to wear a MASK that could stop the spread of CoronaVirus and DEATHS!!!!! They should be known as the PARTY of DEATH!

    1. @David Cesar Oh, no, how dare I show that your source is full of crap!

      Get used to it. Your kind is being hunted down across the internet. Youtube will get it’s rear in gear, eventually.

    2. @Drake Fire you need Jesus my friend he loves you and wants you to know the truth. Get on your knees and pray and ask the Lord for forgiveness of your sins and to place a new heart in you. If you do this he will come into your life and open up your eyes to the truth.
      Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
      John 14:6 KJV

    3. @David Cesar A lot depends on who the individual is. Older people are more susceptible, particularly those with underlying conditions such as coronary issues respiratory issues etc.

    5. @David Cesar So, you’re a nut.

      You have more faith in your orange Cheeto than you do “Jesus” so please do everyone a favor and stop lying to yourself.

  4. Remember Trump said if there’s no test there’s no cases. It takes someone really stupid to weaponize ignorance.

  5. Canada has committed to having all Canadians vaccinated by September. US need to hold Republicans and Trump accountable for taking out more Americans than any war.
    Looking pretty dumb and weak right now US.

    1. Canada population less than 38 million, USA 332 million. It will take USA a longer time to both ,get the vaccines and citizens vaccinated .Heaven help us all.

  6. How many new COVID-19 cases will come from the mask-free insurrection at the Capitol a few days ago? A few thousand at least.

    1. @M T It’s long been difficult not to see the swine as a de facto political serial killer engaged in his own version of an ethnic and demographic cleansing. On a level with wellknown persons from history like Pol Pot or Tamerlane. Trump’s administration’s role should not be forgotten. ‘But we just followed orders’, will be their refrain for years to come. When asked to explain and defend why they didn’t try to put a stop to this ruthless ‘health’ policy. It’s probably a matter of statistics only, if the amount of deaths RELATED to this murderous Covid ‘strategy’ ought to be raised considerably. As I understand it, the statistics only include persons dying during ‘treatment’ or stay in hospitals? Hope I’m wrong. If not, we talk about probably several hundred thousands more at this point. Thank Heaven this man did not get four more years… It’s bad enough as it is.

    3. @M T The Civil War was over 600k and WW2 was over 400k so you are incorrect. I’m not downplaying the seriousness of Covid though. It’s almost at 400k and still climbing rapidly. There’s a very good chance Covid will pass the Civil War death count.

      If we had a president who took the virus seriously we could have saved many lives.

    4. _“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. They have no clue (…) This is their new hoax. (…) We have lost nobody to the coronavirus in the United States. Nobody.”_
      — Donald J. Trump, 2/28/2020

  7. I reckon the entire country will be infected eventually, it’s enviable with half the country thinking the virus is fake.

  8. Sadly, many don’t care, and people like Peroxide Barbie arguing that there’s a “97/98% survival rate” only makes it worse. 🤦🏻‍♀️

  9. “Lori, are we being swamped?” She never did answer that question. That is why this pandemic is so rampant. Because people like her are more concerned with their image than with public welfare.
