    COVID death statistics are useless, you have to look at excess deaths compared to 2015-2019

    Most of the deaths from here on out are going to be due to chronic problems that stem from COVID, not from acute COVID lung failure. And as such they won't be termed "COVID deaths"

      You're correct, but even excluding secondary deaths, primary COVID deaths are the #3 cause of death *in the US, behind heart disease and cancer. That should be bad enough to convince people we still have a problem.

    Preying on the young, the old, the poor and whoever else is deemed disposable. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

    There's a way out, it's just not a pleasant one.

    MFW my own government is totally apathetic to my life that I am forced to leave.

    However, they are NOT apathetic about what little money I have and it costs a fuckton to even just move to Canada.
