  1. 6% Death rate.

    More than double that number of children go missing every year in the states, over 460,000 a year.

    In Canada, an estimated 45,288 children are reported missing each year.

    Keep acting like you care about lives.

    1. Im going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume all that info is true.
      You can prevent probably 5.8% of those 6% deaths by wearing a mask and social distancing to prevent you spreading/catching it.

      Missing children are not that easy to deal with. But with your attitude, even if a simple group action could be done to prevent child kidnappings, you still wouldn’t do it i bet.

    2. @Erik H Explain this brilliant using just rationalization….. if we are all social distancing, in a shutdown and wearing masks then why are infections going up? Ok another one….Why do you need to be tested for something as deadly as cv19 , to just know you are infected? Seriously infected but unaffected.

    3. @Erik H 900,000 thus far(reputedly).

      Meaning, about 1/98th of 1% of the planet’s population has died from this.

      Scary.

      Not.

    1. If by “recovery” you mean not dying, sure, but that doesn’t mean you don’t lose a lung or get brain damage or other permanent damage. Duh. 🙄 Also, that number is BS. We can’t know any actual stats until the whole thing is completely over. Until then, all the numbers fluctuate.

    2. @- You’re picking and choosing your facts. Also known as motivated reasoning and confirmation bias. You propose that we know that there is a risk of losing a lung, getting brain damage, or other permanent damage, but we can’t know the infection mortality rate. Illogical.

    3. The planet loses between 35-50 MILLION per year.

      Let that sink in the next time some Chicken Little tells you how serious this virus is.

    4. @Mr. Kelowna
      Actually……it’s 100% and not with recovery rates which don’t exist, but certainly about the *SCAMMED PLANNED LIES*

    1. Another CLOWN. Blame Trump for his incompetence dealing with the Pandemic. Historically, these viruses have been started from various locations around the world. Blaming China is just plain ignorance.

    2. Yes, China is at fault for causing this because they changed nothing after they caused SARS in 2003, and they world has to hold them accountable before they cause another one (in 2027). But that doesn’t change Trump’s role after the pandemic started. More than one person can be bad at the same time.

    1. @Pure DJ’s Entertainment
      Not to wear masks 1) There was a shortage of masks, and the priority was for first responders doctors and nurses. 2) Experts initially felt that wearing a mask would significantly reduce the effort of 6 foot distancing. They were right, but with more research, they learned the masks and distancing were the best way forward. The border issue, well mistakes were made. BUT all in all, the experts have done a terrific job in countries were the politicians listened.

    1. Very vague statement. Who are you talking to? What lies are your referring to. I don’t know which is worse, the ambiguous comment, or the person that liked it. 🤔

  2. Nah, all trumps fault. Nevermind New York’s Democratic mayor Cuomo, who put covid patients in with the elderly, refusing to put them in the medical cruise liner on shore, that trump provided, which caused a huge spike in deaths, nope forget that. It’s trumpsfault.
