Lies, lies, lies.
ReplyDeleteAnd POTUS states he "is getting great marks". 80,000 dead Americans is considered great to him.
ReplyDeleteGet a life, you'd probably blame Trump if your car broke down or your house caught on fire.
DeleteSo 1/3 of deaths were in Nursing Homes?
ReplyDeleteWe can deduce at least another 1/3 were made up whole cloth since we have learned about the cash incentives to “call it COVID-19”.
No children with COVID-19, you ask?
No problem.
Now there is a new “mystery illness” affecting children. Just announced. Incredible odds against 2 new illnesses happening simultaneously, but none of us can do math anyway.
They are lying to us!
Well, considering the "smart" people predicted millions of deaths, i guess he IS getting high marks.
ReplyDeleteCountry needs confidence and soon because the in-fighting with politico's and the media isn't helping one bit.
ReplyDelete0.6 percent of the entire population of Wicomico county is infected. That's with all test including the poultry workers. So why is this county still shut down. The numbers are also not 100% correct they show everyone that past away even those that would have past from terminal illnesses regardless of the virus.
ReplyDeleteNorthwest Woodsman: if we were to discount all of the bogus claims of deaths attributed to the Whu Flu, I wonder if the result would be similar to previous flu death rates. This claimed pandemic is benefiting someone either politically or financially or most likely both. You be the judge.
