3rd bolded; Wow. Just wow. I dont like name calling but either you are a straight up troll, CNN plant, or an idiot. I can't even fathom WTF you just put in print.
Seriously everyone read that 3rd bolded again and let that non sense set in. I think blood will shoot out of your ears.

Everyone knows you’re using what was said long ago, when nobody knew what was going on and to keep masks from being hoarded from the healthcare system, as an argument for your own agendas. Not many are buying it. Also to the 3rd point, google a NY coronavirus graph sir. Take a look and you won’t be bloodshot anymore. Besides the few weeks of the mayhem they’ve been at negligible cases while other red states had as many 15k daily cases or more.

What number of those deaths were “with” and not “from”? We know deaths have been included that were obviously not from Covid (car wrecks, gunshots, etc.), it stands to reason that there are more that are being labeled as Covid that are not from Covid.

There has to be some kind of approach no? By your own admission what we are doing is not working.

So lets run the list....Lockdowns: don't work, Sweden approach: doesn't work, US approach: doesn't work. China: LOL if you trust their numbers( 21 million cell phones cancelled a few months into the pandemic though....hmmm), South Korea: They are seeing a rise in cases right now just like everyone else. They did have some success though. Maybe the US can adopt South Korea's personal privacy policy. Everyone here would love that.

Old people die when they get sick, nothing new under the sun.

Uhh... it’s still October.

There have been almost 49 million deaths this year. COVID accounted for a small fraction of them and, like cancer, heart disease, and dementia, occurred disproportionately in the elderly and otherwise ill. During that same time the population INCREASED by 67 million people

GET A GRIP.

You sound like you are having a panic attack.

Set and carried out is totally different than leading the country. You can still lead on the matter regardless of what states choose to do. Never hear of leading by example? Completely went against what even his own scientists were telling him.

Can’t answer it can you? Again cargo you can’t keep shifting goal posts when you don’t like reality. Unless you’re actually suggesting a pandemic is just part of life and to let it run wild. And 230K+ preventable deaths don’t matter.

Can you explain the large drop in flu deaths this year so far?
