    Yes a small sample size of people on TV properly represents the medical field across the entire Country...

    And you claim others "deny" science!

    I think Dutch is correct. Have you not seen a Trump Rally lately. Fat and Dumb.... Homer Simpsons... Most healthy people work out at a GYM, dont consider Bob's Big boys home court. They eat healthy and tell the truth. Fat and Happy at McDonalds is a TRUMP THING.

    They are a great thing.

    Freedom is not free. There is a inherent risk living in a free state. That is the trade off vs living in a over bearing nanny state that would officer more security but less freedom.

    I will take that trade off any day of the week. :)

    You don't have to think my friend, all you need to do is to consult the reliable sources.

    We have 5 Democratic Governors to blame for our elevated numbers.

    On the other hand, our death rate is better than quite a lot of nations.

    More than 125,000 Covid-19 patients have died nationwide - more than in any other country.

    Or to be more accurate more than 125,000 people have died while testing positive for Covid. Some died from car accidents, most died from underlying medical conditions etc. Since we don't autopsy these people we really don't what killed them.

    When a 89 year old person dies of any natural cause, the cause of death should just read “Had a good run, body gave out as designed”

    I hope I see 89, that’s a hell of a run IMO.

    You're right. Somalia is likely more unhealthy but I'd venture to say they don't keep accurate Covid numbers...

    Yes, we are. Other than malnourished and famine laden **** holes who probably haven't tested a single person, yes, we are the most unhealthy country.

    Testing does not CREATE more cases. It finds them.

    It’s true. But a lot of the “news” portrays cases growing when in fact a lot of existing ones are just being reveled.

    We look back at March and they are saying cases were 10x to 25x higher than previously known. We did not have more cases in March with this new info, just more than we knew. The virus cold not care less rather we knew about it or not if it was infecting someone.

    Indeed. It finds oodles of people who, if not for testing, would have never know they had Chinese Virus.

    I'd say it has more to do with the obesity rate, which leads to damn near everything, and the amount of smokers we have. Throw in the amount of drug users and alcoholics and I'd say that almost everyone in this country falls under one of those categories.

    Like half of this country is obese, and those fat people are raising fat children, because they flat out eat ****, and too much of it.

    Our sucky healthcare system saved me from an instantaneous death.

    Hey, I don't make the numbers. I'm just reporting them.
    I'm glad your still with us. Vote to keep Obama Care, so others can share your experience.
