@raphjd said in 2020 vs 2021 so far - US Covid death figures:

In 2020, even with much looser measurements on how to count Covid deaths, there were 352,000 recorded deaths in the US and that was before we had the vaccine and the science.

As of 17 Oct 2021, with the stricter covid death counting, the science, and the vaccines, there have been 372,300 covid deaths in the US.

700,000 dead in 2 years (and still counting)...

Just another Seasonal Flu.... why all the fuss, right?

On a more serious note: anyone else considering that wearing a mask during flu season (regardless of COVID) wouldn't be such a bad idea? Even (especially) post-COVID?

The same principles apply:

• the virus has to be in a fluid to survive (exposure to pure oxygen in the air is deadly to it)
• those fluid droplets that have the virus in them are pretty easily stopped by masks - even cloth masks - because the droplets are not microscopic
• the virus doesn't survive well on surfaces, so masks that primarily knock-down the droplets (as they are being expelled - through your breath) are efficient, though not perfect.

If we could cut the Flu losses (deaths) each year in half, or better, wouldn't that be worth wearing a mask during those months? It would for me

NOTE: I'm not recommending (nor supporting) mandatory masks for flu season... just thinking that this new COVID habit of wearing a mask might be useful to keep around AFTER COVID!

Riddle me this you clown; how can you not tell that someone, 4 weeks later, died from a gunshot to the head or by being crushed by a cross-town bus and not covid.

Well, you brought your patron saint into it, I see.

OK, super-awful-man, let's sit down and write a manual on how to count all these bodies, and tell which ones died from what.

Let's start with:

• "They had COVID-19" - check! Count +1
• Unless they had a gunshot wound - uncheck! Count -1
• Unless that was self-inflicted - a suicide by gunshot vs suffocating to death hasn't been all that uncommon - check! Count +1
• Unless they had a history of suicidal thoughts - uncheck! Count -1
• Unless that history was years old and they were being successfully treated for mental illness prior to getting COVID-19 - check! Count +1

Just how deep do you want to go, Sherlock? Remember, you have about 30 seconds to decide, because the bodies are stacked up and this is - by far - not the biggest piece of paperwork (much less handling the dead bodies work) on your plate today!

I really wish everything in life was as easy as you make it out to be! Shit! It's so easy for you:

• there would be no world hunger! Just grow food, sell it, and eat it!
• there would be no war, just ask Donald and whatever he says, goes... losers just have to suck it up! Be adult about it!
• there would be no air pollution, just suck it all in and clean it! Problem solved.
• there would be no ocean pollution, just send out some ships and collect it all! Problem solved!

Damn! I didn't realize you thought SO DEEPLY about these things! It's ALL SO EASY when you think about it AS DEEPLY AS YOU DO!

How is it you're not at-least a senior advisor to the PM by now?

That shows how much you follow International Politics! The Chinese are completely backing the Trumpite movement - not because they like Trump, but they are smart enough to know that his bullshit is tearing at the fabric of our Democracy, and the weaker we are as a country, the easier it will be for them to become the "superpower of the 21st Century" - which is actually their stated and publicized goal!

For your next act, why don't you propose that Jews actively support the re-election of Ebrahim Raisi (President of Iran)!

Your apparent knowledge of International Politics would fill a tome almost as long as that long-famous best-seller: "Hasidic Jewish Pork Recipes for the Whole Family"!

You don't give a fuck what your fellow liberals do, but you have a pathological need to screech like a crack whore in church about 6 Jan.

LOL - I bring up Jan 6 a lot less than you bring up the 2020 election! (2 losses in your court there, bub... your guy lost - by a wide margin in 2020; and your guy's attempt to overthrow the Government and retain power -- the FIRST such attempt in US History! -- was equally lost. The latter was just pathetic, as is your support of it!).

While you seem to think my opposition to Trumpism is anti-Republican, I personally think your support of Trumpism is anti-American. Go figure!

I've mentioned him before, but count me a fan of IL Congressman Adam Kinzinger... a Republican not willing to sacrifice US Democracy to service a megalomaniac of a President - even if he IS in the same political party! Kinzinger was (and still is) a hero of an Air Force Pilot in Iraq & Afghanistan (he is still a Lt. Colonel in the USAF-Reserve); and he is as-well a HERO in the US House - standing up for Democracy in the face of considerable opposition from within his own Party.

Of course, Trump/Putin is trying to oust him... but he won his District (near Chicago) by a nearly 2-1 margin in 2020... Good luck with that one, bub!

If you are a REAL American - even if a Democrat - you should look at the Country First PAC.... These are perilous times for democracy... sometimes its more important to protect the COUNTRY than it is to protect the PARTY....

OY DUMBASS, I gave very specific ways to count covid deaths in an honest way.

IF THEY DIDN'T DIE DIRECTLY FROM COVID, THEN THEY DIDN'T DIE FROM COVID.

Oh, you're so brilliant - so, riddle me this butt-for-brains: how can you tell the difference from someone who died from COVID-19 and, say, died of cancer while they were sick from COVID-19?

OH! I forgot! We have to rely on more of your magical thinking to know!

Silly me! I forgot about "Magical Thinking" - that's also how you figure Trump won the 2020 Election and how the US can solve it's southern border crisis! Your Magical Thinking SOLVES THEM ALL!!!

I know that's too difficult of a drunkard like you to get.

What's amazing to me is that you are unable to see the fallacy in your argument - you are clearly unable to comprehend the "next step" - Sure, people who die from COVID-19 are counted... but how do you KNOW what they died of when they're sick with more than 1 thing???

You have the mental acumen of 12 goats! TOPS!

Of course, being the "whatabout" POS you are, you needed to bring Trump into this conversation.

Well, you're going to bring Fauci into it soon enough, why not get the party started NOW!

@raphjd said in Colin Powell dead at 84 due to COVID-19:

@bi4smooth

You forgot the AOL scandal.

You are pathetic....

English 101: When there is a passage. and directly under it there is a line that starts with a DASH and contains a source, it's indicative that the entire passage is a quote from that source.

Perhaps, had you ever completed those remedial Reading Comprehension courses for the last 4 years of your schooling, you'd have had time for a English Composition (or Writing) class...

Alas, that ship has sailed...

Colin Powell, the trailblazing soldier and diplomat whose sterling reputation of service to Republican and Democratic presidents was stained by his faulty claims to justify the 2003 U.S. war in Iraq, died Monday of COVID-19 complications. He was 84.

A veteran of the Vietnam War, Powell spent 35 years in the Army and rose to the rank of four-star general before becoming the first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. His oversight of the U.S. invasion of Kuwait to oust the Iraqi army in 1991 made him a household name, prompting speculation for nearly a decade that he might run for president, a course he ultimately decided against.

Powell instead joined George W. Bush’s administration in 2001 as secretary of state, the first Black person to represent the U.S. government on the world stage. His tenure, however, was marred by his 2003 address to the U.N. Security Council in which he cited faulty information to claim that Saddam Hussein had secretly stashed weapons of mass destruction. Such weapons never materialized, and though the Iraqi leader was removed, the war devolved into years of military and humanitarian losses.

In announcing Powell’s death, his family said he had been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus. Peggy Cifrino, Powell’s longtime aide, said he had also been treated over the past few years for multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that impairs the body’s ability to fight infection. Studies have shown that those cancer patients don’t get as much protection from the COVID-19 vaccines as healthier people.

I'm sure our resident fake conservative and his fellow liberals will claim that it's all made up because Joy "I was hacked" Reid hasn't reported on it.

I don't have any idea whether the Sergeant-at-Arms deputy is a Dem or a Republican - I would think that position is non-partisan. The House SAA usually serves for decades, under party rules of both sides.

This sick fuck (I have 9 kids & no tolerance for kiddie porn pedos)! Regardless of their fucking politics, they should have their dicks amputated and their eyes burned out!

I use a firefox plugin called "Video Downloader" from CocoCut. It works on a LOT of sites, but I don't have an account on SS, so I can't test it there for you.

In my experience, Firefox and Safari (on Windows) apps / plugins do a better job of capturing these things... My belief is that they don't get used enough on the sites for them to focus their blocking techniques against them. Just my opinion.

You are such a pathetic Cuomo-sexual. You know he undercounted the number of people he murdered by half, or have you forgotten?

Your math teacher also mis-graded your Final Exam score in 9th grade, resulting in your getting a C, instead of the D+ you so richly deserved...

Oh, we're not recounting all the miscounting deeds in the past 1000 years? My bad.

Since when have I had anything kind to say about either of the Cuomo brothers? Since your wet dreams!

The numbers are being used and abused to suit political agendas.

You didn't say that when it was the Trump Administration showing those numbers! Numbers based on the same reporting criteria!

Is Biden mishandling COVID-19? Yes, but he's not infecting deniers with the virus, either! We're doing that to ourselves, and the ONLY finger pointing we can do there is in the fucking mirror!

Once again: bitching about how we measure something, with no clue how you could do better is like pissing in a fan! You're all wet, and if you're not careful, you MIGHT get a solid-stream going and electrocute yourself!

Umm, if the person did not die directly of covid, then it does not count as a covid death, or are you that stupid?! Sorry, I asked a silly question, you really are that stupid.

That's SO helpful... and what criteria are you proposing to use to say that they did NOT die of COVID-19?

I know:

• if they have a blister on their foot, it wasn't COVID-19, it was daibetes
• if there was aspirin in their blood, it wasn't COVID-19, it was a heart attack (because that's who takes aspirin: heart patients!)
• if they coughed within 3-months of getting COVID-19, it wasn't that what killed them, it was "silent pneumonia"

Yeah! That's the ticket!

You're still touting the same drivel: you're not counting accurately...

You're still devoid of actual proposals on how to differentiate the dead - remember, the morgues and funeral homes are LITERALLY overflowing. (But, I forgot! This is no worse than the Seasonal Flu! My bad!)

If you got your mug outta Pelosi's vag, you wouldn't be so drunk of her gin-soaked pussy parts.

If you got your head outta your ass long enough, your eyes might go back to their regular color! (RED!)

I would consider your support of the Jan 6 insurrection as treasonous, but you're not a "real" American... you're just an "agitator from afar".

I have as many "BLM buddies" as you have KKK "buddies" in Scotland. Yeah, THAT MANY! (I've heard the Knights of the KKK have made a HUGE comeback in Scotland!)

https://nypost.com/2021/09/17/michael-sussmann-indicted-pleads-not-guilty-in-alleged-fbi-lie/

Of course, our fake conservative will make up some justification for Sussman lying to the FBI, claiming he's innocent because "Orange Man Bad".

Not surprisingly, the RWM (Right Wing Media) touts this is more "Crooked Hillary" evidence come-to-light (give it a rest: you won the election... that dragon is dead!), and the LWM (Left Wing Media) is claiming the same stuff the RWM did as Trump officials were indicted: "its just an indictment, there's no proof, they'll fail in court"...

And the truth is somewhere in the middle. Did Sussman lie about the fact that his information came at the behest of the Clinton campaign (in 2016, people!) - maybe, maybe not - that's why there are charges filed.

Did that mischaracterization lead to anything untoward? No! The FBI looked into the allegations (about a Russian bank - probably not @raphjd's personal bank - with supposed ties to Trump) and found them without sufficient evidence. NOTE: That happened BEFORE Trump took office, so .... even without undue political influence, the system worked... they made an allegation, the FBI looked into it, and it was found "wanting for evidence"...

Long story short - indictments in Washington are like white-chocolate milk-duds... they're not everywhere, but they're not hard to get either!

We'll see whether a trial (or a plead to a lesser charge - which is common also) results - or an exoneration? Who can tell with all the spinning on all sides.

Can't wait to see how the positions change when it's Trump era officials being indicted a few years from now (Justice is slow!) - and they WILL change!

@raphjd said in Part of the Covid lie:

@bi4smooth

OY, DUMBASS, the death figures are falsely inflated, as I pointed out.

I never said it's entirely a lie, but there have been massive lies told about it since August 2019.

You keep being a liberal tool of "build back better", "you will own nothing and you will be happy" and all the other bullshit, that covid is being used as a shield for.

OK, so you are still drunk of Pelosi's gin-soaked pussy farts. If they died from other means, then they do not count as covid. It's not that difficult, except for people like you.

Comrade, your constant redirection of the topics - especially the tactic of bringing up an old topic and claiming I had a different position - is so transparent!

Let's get back to the point: You claim they are intentionally inflating the COVID-19 numbers... let's run with that:

• By how much - are they adding 10%? 15? 50% 100% (Doubling them?) Tell me Comrade: if you have better numbers, what are they?
• You object to the basis of the counting: people who die shortly after being found positive for COVID-19. Tell me Comrade: if you have a better filter, a better way of counting, what is it? Please share it - we're all ears!
• BTW, Comrade - you may want to be careful: THOSE methodologies are shared by Mother Russia, and were also used for the Official Trump Administration numbers... You wouldn't want to upset Father Putin or Saint Trump by slamming their methods!

Just like when the Dems complained about Trump's southern border policies: it's easy to complain about how it's being done - but it's a whole other story when you have to actually find a better way yourself. The southern border crisis is a Dem problem now (comes with the power!)... and they're not only not better than Trump (they're keeping a lot of the Trump-Era policies) - no, they're making it even worse by NOT effectively stopping them from coming in the first place. FAIL

But I'm not complaining about that SHIT SHOW - because I don't have a better idea, and just complaining (like you're doing, Comrade) is like looking in the mirror in the morning and complaining about how fat you are, then going into the kitchen and eating a half-dozen donuts for breakfast!

So Comrade, your complaining "Their shit stinks," when your shit stinks just as badly is worthless drivel... Honestly, it's beneath even your flawed KGB training. You need to do better!

As for the Dem's "Build Back Better" - I've was warning for MONTHS ahead of time that their policies would create inflation... that the last $Trillion "stimulus" was unwarranted and inflationary... and was I wrong? (HINT: no, Comrade, I was not wrong)

I pray to the gods of economics that this Dem $Trillion spending monstrosity stays dead in congress! All Hail the Dem BOOBS who insist on their way or the highway! Their self-immolation is for the benefit of us all!

Do we need to repair our roads and bridges? yes - OH HELL, YES - that is a part of our infrastructure (maintenance and replacement) that we've long overlooked: we build bridges with a planned 50-year lifespan, and then 50 years later, we have no plans (and no budget) to replace or even maintain them... we just hope and pray that we can make 50 years into 70 or 80... and now that 80 years has passed, we STILL aren't prepared to fix or replace them!

This is A COMPLETE FAILURE TO PLAN coupled with a FANTASTICAL BELIEF that the problem will just go away - And these are not Trump-era failings! These are Kennedy-Johnson, Nixon-Ford, Carter, Reagan-Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and now Biden issues!

Cudos to Biden for wanting to address the problem with more than lip-service and finger-crossing... but realizing the problem is already critical is no excuse for the $Trillions of EXTRA shit!

Biden's plan is like the surgeon who needs to repair a hernia, but says "while we're in there, let's look at everything from your ingrown toenail to your bald spot! And we'll fix that crooked nose, too! Oh, and how about some RED hair to cover the grey... and..." JUST STOP ALREADY! Let's start with the hernia... then we'll regroup and look at the other things... but I'll pass on the package deal!

Lastly: You keep accusing my of being a Nanci Pelosi fanatic... funny, but my ideals fall very much in line with Republican ones - even Trump ones - except for a few key areas:

• Trump was NOT a King... just a man... and a flawed one (aren't we all?) at that!
• Trump lost in 2020 - fair and square - and by a lot. It was unusual in-that other Republicans largely won, but it wasn't unprecedented... besides: Trump was "one for the History Books" from day one!
• Fair and square... there were attempts at fraud, but none that rose anywhere close to a level sufficient to change the outcome, and actually LESS than in our prior elections... a pattern seen for almost 40 years now!
• COVID-19 is real, and it's every bit as bad as the CDC and NIH said they were - before politicians started deciding their talking points!
• Vaccines work - all 3 major kinds - and THEY aren't killing people... the virus IS though!

The other areas on here where we differ, YOU are the liberal one:

• wanting the Government to intervene on your behalf! (Most of that kind of whining you foist upon us comes from your Russian inability to identify the difference between FREEDOMs and RIGHTs, and especially your inability to separate Government actions from Corporate actions...)
• deriding all police as "pigs"... one can only assume from your liberal rantings here that you envision either a lawless society, or one where laws are somehow self-enforcing. Knowing you and your KGB background, perhaps lethal enforcement!

I could go on, but what's the point?

What will you change the topic to this time to avoid acknowledging the validity of my arguments? Or, will you just call me names and open a new thread?
