It’s an acceptable level of death Jack biden-troll

It's harm reduction Jack! (by doing millions of deaths in harm)

Still got my fingers crossed that he gets it and croaks

Best time imo would be in about 10-12 months, hoisting the Democrats by their own petard on both covid AND backing this ancient ghoul with no reasonable backup plan in case of death and not enough time before the election to implement one.

Please covid-cool I never ask you for anything…

I've already predicted he dies, Hillary wins dem nomination, and then loses to Trump again.

Beyond the death, let's not forget also the ton of people that either got long COVID or will get it eventually

Oh absolutely, only phrased it this way because it's national-mourning-period

what fucking monstrosity is that data-laughing

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

It is a representation of our nation's status every 9/11 😢

And that's without us really keeping track of it. Excess deaths should be higher than they are for 2023, but they readjusted how they calculate it to include 2020's data.

Yeah. Even when reporting was at its highest, there were all the cases that weren't being tested because many people don't have access to healthcare.

i was wondering what death rates were for unvaccinated people, but this document seems to indicate the chance of death is only slightly higher if unvaccinated. So that's interesting. I thought the disparity would still be big.

Edit: looks like the disparity is now with hospitalizations more than death

at this point it’s a difference between natural immunity and vaccine-induced immunity. almost nobody is getting it for the first time, so almost everyone has some natural immunity. plus, the newer strains are supposedly less acutely harmful than initial strains

also, reporting methods are only getting worse. with a shortage of covid tests, there are less confirmed cases, so many covid deaths are reported as “pneumonia”

Covid can't be bombed and regime changed, so it's not a problem, Jack. biden-troll
