Assuming that number is correct (not motorcycle accident deaths) we need about 30,000 more to reach Sweden’s numbers on a per capita basis.

Dude, you are a Tool! The "early estimates" predicted 2.2 Million would die. I'd say we fared pretty damn well. Great Presidential leadership, that's the only way you can avoid 2.2 million deaths. Now, who is the "Denier"???

Another dirt road thread brought to you by WutFace...

Worse, a poorly maintained highway in (insert north East state here).

750,000 Americans dead.

Every month. Year in and year out.

From a wide variety of causes. Just to put the numbers into perspective

Hysteria works best on people who are impressed by numbers which look big but aren't really that big in the grand scheme.

I cannot wait to count the daily tally of flu cases next winter and harass all of my friends who constantly push the COVID fear narrative. It's gonna be epic...we will have, at a minimum, several hundred thousand cases of the flu!! Oh what will we do!!!

What are you doing to save the other 2,850,000 people that are going to die in this country this year?
And whre did you get this "To be fair, this has exceeded all of our expectations with how much death this virus can bring." We were listening to the experts telling use it would be over 2 million. Very happy they were wrong!

As someone that lost someone close to me from COVID... Who cares!?!

Stop spreading this fear BS on something that you have a 99% chance of surviving if your under 70, (probably higher than that because way more people have had this than have tested positive).

Wear a mask, social distance, and if you have pre-existing conditions, or are afraid? Then don't go out.

Open everything up already.

To the idiots who are high-fiving each other that COVID didn't kill 2 million US citizens:

1. You're cherry-picking one study, from the United Kingdom, about their predictions over how many infections and fatalities would occur if the virus was left uncontrolled. You're welcome to read it yourself here: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imp...16-03-2020.pdf

1a. Here's another prediction from March 6. The American Hospital Association had a conference about COVID-19, and someone leaked a slide. They predicted 480,000 US deaths. Which after 4 months, we're 32% of the way there with the winter still ahead of us. By the time we're done with COVID-19 next year, this could very well be an accurate prediction.


In either case, predictive models are just that. Models. And trying to create a model based around human behavior is like trying to predict lotto numbers. Also they were doing it in the blind because we knew next to nothing about SARS-CoV-2 in early March.

2. Comparing a devastating number that didn't come true to a tragic one that did come true doesn't make it any less tragic. 150,000 additional deaths this year so far due to gross negligence and incompetence. Pretty sad.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no level of death that will change your minds about the severity of this disease. As the death counts mount, your heels will dig in.

We hit a milestone today. A terrible one. There will be more to come.

Hey WutFace - SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE! You are a poster child for what is wrong with this country right now!

Watch and listen to these STATS and FACTS from REAL DOCTORS. I'm guessing you won't learn anything and keep pushing your fear mongering though...as we all know, it is for political reasons until Nov 3rd.
