More died of covid related illness than heart disease and cancer combined.

As COVID-19 infections continue to surge, coronavirus was ranked as the leading cause of death in the U.S. this week, with 11,820, according to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. That's more than the number of Americans who died from ischemic heart disease (10,724), tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer (3,965), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (3,766)

Business Insider had an article the other day about how the number of deaths from coronavirus in a day was close to how many people died on 9/11.  It did make me think immediately of the bullshit from Republicans.  Patriotism and America!  So many people died and we have to care so fucking much about it!  Oh, but if you die from coronavirus it's not as important because a plane didn't crash into a building from terrorists.  It's only tragic if there's a way to pour more money into the military.  It's all a money-making scheme that's wasted on things the military doesn't even need.  In fact, if 10,000 people or more were to ever die in a single day, Republicans would still tell you that it doesn't matter.  Life is so precious at birth and then these fucking losers leave everyone to die on the streets with inadequate healthcare and no chance at a decent life.  That's why their pro-life stance is bullshit.  Republicans want more bodies for slave labor and more women to rape and fuck.  It's not about human life to them and the sanctity of it.  So just remember that's why you're supposed to hate Republicans and root for them to die.  It's justice and it's the proper way to view things.

Bullshit the Republican party is a me first party .

Patriotism ,conservative principled ,faith based does not fit in that parties leadership.

Lies deception is there bread and butter. And the true conservative has no party at this point... 

They have an abomination of a Pelosi or the used car salesmen with Trump.  They fall into a no man's zone again having no party to look for hope.

This is time republicans fracture to separate themselves from the ruin that engulfed them.

Trump is a freaking moron. The absolute most disgusting principle allowing Irwin section center in Georgia and then trying to deport the first hand witnesses to cover up the facts of forced abortion hysterectomy... that the tip of the ice berg to the true blue Nazi freaks that hijacked the party ....

I do agree real conservatives have been cast aside but I'm not sure they ever accounted for a large slice of the pie.  I still remember one customer telling me that Trump and his followers seemed like Nazis.  It surprised me because she's the wife of a former military guy with a purple heart, all of which made me think they could be Republicans (unfortunately a lot of military losers are Republicans).  Fortunately, she's sane and she's really not that political at all, making her statements more damning.  I don't know how many Republicans qualify as Nazis but I'll meet you in the middle and agree that most of them just use lies and deception.  I generally think the safe approach is to just ignore whatever Republicans say and assume the opposite of what they're saying is true.  It's pretty effective and usually works.  

It would be interesting to know how many of those “COVID related deaths” already had heart disease or cancer

I suppose it would be equally interesting to find out your specific opinion on this.  Do you think hospitals are falsifying information on death certificates in order to make more money?  I need to know if you're batshit crazy or if you have a fucking brain.  Can you please show me evidence of this occurring and why aren't people being prosecuted in court as I'm quite sure that's illegal as shit?  If you're suggesting, however, that it doesn't count when your current condition is exacerbated by a virus you shouldn't have contracted (thanks to Trump's incompetent handling of coronavirus), it makes you a giant piece of shit and everything I said about you was spot on.

Lighten up Francis

I have no desire to engage with you more than this post. As I said, it would be interesting to know. 

The point is that coronavirus is out of control right now and people are dying daily.  So this is a major problem when Republicans want to open everything up and que sera sera.  Yes, to some extent that may be true but I firmly believe we have the ability to control the course of our lives.  The circumstances may dictate a lot but it doesn't have to be predetermined by fate.  Do we need this many people dying or can we stop it from happening?  Of course you know there are measures that can be taken to prevent the loss of life, but the general Republican motto is a dollar is more important than life.  When did money become more important than living?  

2500 us citizens a day. 

A fucking 911 memerorial per day.

Think about that more people are dying of this every day than died in the world trade center or Afghanistan the first year....

A day....
