Yes, so many people have died of COVAIDS. Multiple movie stars, Boris Johnson. Most of the people I know have died. That's a Jeff Berwick joke. I think that most of the COVAIDS numbers are lies but here is one that is probably true: of 40,000 US college students tested only three were hospitalized and no one died.

Nothing personal Nema but I agree with thousand of doctors, epidemiologists, etc. who say CV-19 is a hoax.

Good for you. So you figure the million who died are just hiding?

Who is hoaxing you and why?

Maybe this will explain the problem for you. And if you still don't see the problem. Join us in this sub.

You are smoking way too much reefer for your own good.

That's not reefer he's smoking

No offense intended. Whoever is pulling the strings wants us to be scared so we'll listen to their nonsense and OBEY.

[–]Nemacolin[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (21 children)

So they have tricked us all into OBEYing them. And from this "Whoever"gets what exactly? Seems your worldview has a few gaps.

[–]hennaojichan 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (20 children)

Let's just agree to disagree on this one.

[–]Nemacolin[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (19 children)

Well the fact that about a thousand Americans a day are being killed by this virus is not a matter of opinion. We can disagree on a favorite color. Disagreeing about the efficacy of masks is simply be obtuse and obdurate.

[–]hennaojichan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (12 children)

But there are thousands of doctors saying that masks are useless. I am just not in the mood to argue right now.

Don't bother, trying to talk sense into him. He claimed the entire covid sub was a joke that he laughed at. If he isn't currently thinking it, it doesn't exist.

[–]hennaojichan 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

But he is our resident normie so is a kind of weathervane.

[–]Questionable 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

Sure, but he's driving me crazy.

[–]Nemacolin[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Thousands as opposed to the millions of doctors who wear masks. No need to argue. Just think for yourself.

[–]Questionable 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

We are thinking for ourselves, how do you not understand this?

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

If you're so scared of covid, you must leave your house in a bubble suit right? Do you have a bubble suit yet?

[–]Nemacolin[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I am not especially afraid. I cannot help but think a lot of these virus deniers are acting out of fear. They cannot handle the truth in front of them so they claim it is not real.

[–]Questionable 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

More people die from suicide, car accidents, the flu, heart disease, alcohol poisoning, cancer, or drug over doses on a daily bases. Pick any one you want, we've never locked down all of society for any of those things.

[–]Nemacolin[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Actually no. Let us look at the CDC figures:

Heart disease: 647,457 (per year)/365 = 1,773(per day)

Cancer: 599,108 = 1,641

Covid = about 1,000 a day

Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936 = 465

Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201 = 438

Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383

Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404 = 439

Diabetes: 83,564 = 229

Influenza and Pneumonia: 55,672 = 152

Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis: 50,633 = 138

Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,173 = 138

By the way, deaths from all causes in the US are about 7,700/day.

But on our worse day, 17 April, about 2,400 Americans died of the virus. So at one brief point, Covid was the number one killer in the country.

But in any case, you are wrong. Now go upvote something on s/letterstotheeditor

I'm wrong when many of the number are actually higher? And you claim you are right because the average is lower then the one day high for covid? Nice of you to look up those numbers, because I pulled mine out of my ass. And now you have the real number to ponder.

Now add this to the list of non crisis events:

Medical malpractice 440,000.

I am very sorry. I do not understand what you are trying to say.
