    Being informed by grapeape = ill informed, on that we agree.

    Personal attacks to deter from your own lack of facts is very telling

    Have a nice day

    Doubtful, when something is not working properly, doing nothing doesn't fix it, and if that said something is necessary and being used, doing nothing can most certainly exacerbate the problem.

    But slamming all repubs is ok? really shows a lack of rationalization.

    yeah AZ.. every year millions die from the flu.. and this year.. the evil left has pumped those numbers to turn totally .. uh.. totalitarian. You've been lied to, perhaps your entire life. AND I'd take ill informed (and really.. if all you have is fake news? How could you be anything but ill informed?) over being misinformed.. It takes work.. and the ability to see the rationale and depend on logic to find some truth.. the father of lies has been very busy the last few decades!

    Actually your wrong. Influenza deaths per year are around 200-350 thousand. Covid 19 this year (9 months) alone has killed 1.85 million. When we account for a full year os Covid, its will show that it is literally 10 times the death rate. But hey, you do you.....

    I know its all "fake news" when it doesn't agree with what you're told by whom you want to tell you. You dont like the facts, so you call them fake news.

    Actually you are wrong.. the covid numbers have been pumped and the excess death numbers have stayed the same.. The CDC even changed the rules for counting flu deaths to pump up the covid #s... it appears to have a mortality rate in the range of 99.94% that's six people in 10,000. It is a man made hysteria to do just what it did... steal an election destroy the "little guy" so he can't speak out.

    I don't want the economy shut down...I don't want the economy shut down. That being said...silly analogy on your part. No one can catch a heart attack from someone else.

    not even remotely close. Its still there and there are some people who die from it but the annual number of flu related deaths are INCLUDED in the average number of deaths (previous 3 year rolling avg, iirc) which makes the closely tracked statistic "deaths above average" a fairly accurate picture of this particular virus' lethality.

    The democrat standard is to give Obama credit for numbers during his whole term to the end in Jan 2017 and give Biden credit for Trumps numbers now while Trump is still President.

    Its your game. Los Angeles has strict lock downs and mandates. (Unless you are a politician) Cases are out of hand and ERs are turning ambulances away.

    Still only 13% positivity rate. The raw numbers are greater than most place just based on population density. But 13% in that dense of an area vs. 57% in a mostly rural state that has no mandates........kinda says it all

    Wrong on two counts.

    Firstly the flu has not disappeared but the spread has been significantly REDUCED by the use of masks, social distancing and sanitation.

    The implementation of these measures has resulted in FEWER deaths from the flu.

    Bush crashed the economy, you don't blame Obama for what he inherited... just common sense

    Biden is inheriting an economy ready to crash and a pandemic... What is it with Republican Presidents?

    As long as we're still having days where 3,000+ Americans are dying of COVID, the economy will not be able to roar back. You could lift all restrictions at once, but so long as COVID deaths continue to rise instead of fall, we will continue to be in recession.
