LOL! If you relied on Trump for advice -----

Everyone played it down on both sides of the isle. Of course this fact is lost on people who have been enjoying riding Trumps dick for the last 4 years now.

the simple truth is:

trump deliberately made the pandemic a partisan issue - something that very directly lead to tens of thousands of completely avoidable and UNNECESSARY DEATHS.

deliberately withholding help from the early hit blue states and governors not sufficiently 'loyal' to him, trying to portray masks and distancing as signs of weakness and oppression (to this day btw), using desperately needed supplies to enrich himself and his family, actively slowing down testing to conceal numbers... those were political decisions that any rationally thinking person can easily identify as being immediately detrimental to fighting a pandemic, unquestionably killing tens of thousand.

that will be his legacy, and history will not look kindly on his enablers, appeasers, and defenders.

yep

the usual anti-intellectuals and anti-science crew like fender are siding with a journalist woodward over the leading expert Fauci lmfao, pathetic..

Anecdotal evidence. A few handful of young people die each year from all sorts of diseases. If anybody paid attention, they would also find dozens of under-30 patients dying from influenza, community acquired pneumonia or, say, prostate cancer each year.


Here's some actual statistical data: in Germany, we had roughly 9300 covid deaths, of which 3 occurred in people younger than 20 and 10 in people aged 20-29. The median age of the diseased is 82 years, 85% of the deaths came from patients older than 70.

I see no reason why the age breakdown should be fundamentally different in other industrialized countries, like the U.S.

We need the statistics on crippling, i'm talking about those with sequels for life, or even for few years.

I'm still waiting on someone to provide proper studies on the frequency and extent of those long-term ailments. Anecdotal evidence from isolated cases just doesnt cut it when assessing the danger of long-term effects of a disease which produced millions of cases in just a few months.

lack of healthcare, obesity, poverty, mass incarceration, stigma through politicisation... just to name some of the things that immediately come to mind which COULD certainly impact the age distribution of covid-19 deaths.

sorry it's not spam but i would just answer with this picture:
