The Delta Wave is deadlier in Trump country

They were all vaccinated and mask mandates were in place. 

What happened?

House select committee reports that Trump administration push for risky herd immunity strategy to encourage Americans to be infected while economy is spared from public health restrictions.  Sounds fine in theory but unethical, impractical, unscientific and dangerous in reality.  Problem is more covid hospitalizations and deaths.  Advocates tend to be a fringe minority lacking expertise in epidemics and public health.  But doctor Birx and most reputable medical experts reject "Barrington declaration" which would focus on protecting 1.5 million seniors in nursing homes but not 80+ million people with chronic diseases in US population. 

HOUSE SELECT COMMITTEE REPORTS......

No political agenda there.

FACT IS JOE HAD NO PLAN OTHER THAN TO RIDE ON TRUMPS VACCINE THAT TRUMP PUSHED FOR FROM THE BEGINNING.

THE TRUTH IS NO COUNTRY CAN DEFEAT OR STOP COVID. YOU CAN HOWEVER DESTROY YOU MENTAL WELL BEING, DESTROY YOUR BUSINESSES, DESTROY YOUR ECONOMY TO JUST SLOW THE INEVIDABLE. TO SAY YOU HAVE A "PLAN" IS JUST MORE STUPID LIES.

TO SAY "WE DIDNT SEE DELTA COMING" IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! ALL THE DATA WAS POURING IN WHILE THE "ONLY PLAN", TO BLAME REPUBLICANS, CONTINUED ON. 

99% ARE THE UNVACCINATED. HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU REGURGATE THAT LIE DURING LATE JULY AND AUGUST?

It is reported that 480,000 people die each year from smoking alone. How many covid deaths are smokers? Conflicting reports out there.

The news rag Guardian says up to 80% greater chance that smokers with covid end up in ICUs and/or die.

So what does a DEMOCRAT state like Nevada do? YOU MUST WEAR A MASK INDOORS AT ALL TIMES....UNLES YOU WANT TO SMOKE. DROP THAT MASK AND PROCEED TO KILL YOURSELF AND OTHERS NEARBY. 

Just had it out recently with a smoker in a casino who sat right down next to me and lit up. 

This is lunacy!!!! Would rather sit tightly in a room of a 100 unvaccinated non-smokers than next to one vaccinated smoker!!! 

House Select Committee 

   believes 9/11 was totally orchestrated by GW Bush and republicans

Texas confirms first known Omicron-related death in the United States

A Harris County, Texas, man’s death is related to the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, County Judge Lina Hidalgo announced Monday.

This is the first known confirmed Omicron-related death in the United States.

The judge said the man was in his 50s but did not disclose any further details, such as his vaccination status.

“Of course, we’re going to have hospitalizations, tragically deaths, like what we’ve seen now, but the evidence shows that for those vaccinated, in with the booster, is much less likely that they’re going to end up in the hospital,” Hidalgo said.

Fox News source says his vaccination status isn't disclosed but according the Reuters,

(Reuters) - Texas' Harris County on Monday reported its first death related to the Omicron COVID-19 variant, a man who was unvaccinated, the county health department said.

EVERYBODY, Google this pharse; 

The judge said the man was in his 50s but did not disclose any further details, such as his vaccination status.

WHAT DO YOU SEE RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THIS SEARCH???

CNN

Well that is a shame.   Preventable.

Well that is a shame.   Preventable.

just so many unfortunate deaths from covid among those anti-vax crowd most often in red states 9 per capita )     its a tragedy    but    they have the freedom of choice

"Hidalgo said that the man was in his 50s, had underlying health conditions and was unvaccinated."

Just a reminder;

Vaccinated or not, it CAN get you.

10 days later and we're still talking only 1 Omicron death. 

Posts like these never age well. State of New York had 1,928 deaths in the month of December and Florida had 521.

Mask mandates, vaccination card admissions, etc. Hard to believe it does anything!! Other than punish. 

Think we should all agree the virus cannot be controlled by any country/state. Maybe held off by island nation's willing to imprison their subjects, it can only last so long. 

Everybody gets their turn.

Florida politics proved deadly
when it comes to COVID

AXIOS - Will Chase and Caitlin Owens

COVID is killing more people per 100,000 in red states than in blue states,
Axios' Will Chase and Caitlin Owens report.

Why it matters:
"The COVID-19 pandemic removed any doubt that state policies
can affect health outcomes," Virginia Commonwealth University
professor Steven Woolf recently argued in JAMA.

Death rates in Florida and Georgia (more than 200 deaths per 100,000)
were much higher than in states with largely vaccinated populations
such as New York (112 per 100,000), New Jersey (73 deaths per
100,000), and Massachusetts (50 per 100,000).

Between August and December 2021, Florida
experienced MORE THAN TRIPLE the number of excess deaths
(29,252) as New York (8,786), despite both states having similar
population counts — 21.7 million and 19.3 million, respectively.

The bottom line:
The virus has proved itself to be exhaustingly unpredictable
in many ways over the last two years. But there's no doubt that
tools like high-quality masks and vaccines reduce the risk of
catching the virus, and in the case of vaccines, of dying from it.

lmfao!!!!! Children make up what percent of the population? Bet it’s more than 26.8% 

regardless  the politics   its all very unfortunate

Thankfully the worst of the pandemic is behind us.................we hope

Wasn't aware of those facts but it doesn't surprise me.
