(Approximately 365 days) In all of World War 2, the US counted 416,800 deaths. That took the 3 years, 8 months and 7 days that the US was at war with Germany and Japan. But but but.... this Corona virus is fake news pushed by the fake media. /s. Had this same argument with a relative back in late April when I made the comparison to the number killed in the Vietnam war; which killed 58,000 Americans over ten years vs the Covid virus that at the time I posted had already killed 52,000 Americans in 3 months. She kept on telling me that it was no more deadly than the seasonal flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad but true.. I guess only time can reveal the true depth of the brainwashing that went on under Trumps tenure.

Go read up on the lung issues researchers are finding from even asymptomatic cases. Go read up on the people under 40 who've spent significant time in the hospital, getting pumped full of drugs and on oxygen. This is the kind of talking point that people who think this is no big deal use, and they, and you, are dead wrong. https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200811/asymptomatic-covid-silent-but-maybe-not-harmless#:~:text=In the lungs%2C scientists have,glass opacities on CT scans. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 20 hours ago, Grapefruits said: Removed by mod Ignorant. The long term effects are not yet realized. Many are experiencing respiratory compromise even after 'beating' covid. But, as you say, facts must be faced. Excess mortality (deaths above expected) in Canada: During the spike in spring excess mortality was up around 25% then looked to be up 8%ish in the summer. This data doesn't include the second wave so we could probably expect those values to resemble April. Here is Canada (data only goes to September) vs USA all age groups expressed as a percentage: I even excluded the 85+ age group for you: Spoiler https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSP* Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) From Stats Canada. I hope you didn’t need that nut. “From January to October 2020, there were an estimated 241,257 deaths in Canada, representing an excess of 10,090 deaths above and beyond what would have been expected if there was no pandemic. In comparison, for the same period, there were 228,058 deaths in 2018 and 226,994 in 2019.” Edited January 26, 2021 by GSP* 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 14 hours ago, debluvscanucks said: Government being government.... Lets never plan proper, lets push everything to the damn limits. The fact they didn't administer one dose, hold a second for EVERY first dose given and now we already had it up past 30 days, now they are pushing it to the 42 days because the CDC says it can be done, thats garbage. These manufacturers put 21 and 28 days on their doses, need to follow what they post not keep going with other government agencies are pushing. Rather see less people done right now but with 2 doses than more people on single doses and now there is no guarantee they will get it by the 42 day limit. Every dose should have a pair to be administered 3 weeks later. I was ok with the NDP, I keep giving them chances as I still think they have done overall ok since we aren't in Ontario or Quebec stages but if they bumble the hell out of this, they are dead to me next election and it'll be between Liberals and Greens and I won't even consider the NDP after such stupidity.

Russ Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 https://globalnews.ca/news/7589873/pfizer-canada-tax-breaks/ I am sure someone posted this days ago, I don't pop on this thread much so sorry if it had been posted before, but Canada is going to get bent over as usual and then find a way to tax us regular citizens even more to make up for their frivolous spending.

Popular Post FaninMex Posted January 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2021 20 hours ago, Grapefruits said: Removed by mod Sadly you are not seeing a broader picture. Canada has been doing a pretty job at containing it so you may have a false sense of what is actually happening. Also watching CNN and FOX news are twisted and political. In fact they are laughed at as a media source in most places. In Mexico city the hospitals are full to capacity and beyond. They have shut there doors and I have been hearing reports from friends that people are dying in taxis while in front of the emergency rooms trying to get in. My wife's friend lost her brother(40) and her aunt(60) in a couple days of each other. The brother got sick on a Saturday and was dead on the Monday. These are not the only stories that we have been hearing coming from there. I think my wife and I know about 24 people who have died from Covid. My buddy was telling me that he has been to a funeral almost every weekend for months. Covid is not killing only old people in care homes. It is killing in the 30 - 40 year old ranges too. A young woman was pregnant with her first child here in the country I live and she died just a few weeks ago. Imagine losing your wife and unborn child in the same go. When the hospitals get full, they start going to what Mex is doing and close doors or they pick and choose who they think might live. People, like one guy we knew, died despite getting better because a few worse cases came in and the doctors didn't have the time to get to them all at the same time. Then there are those with long Covid. My wife went to school with one girl who is suffering from that misery and her husband thinks she is crazy and wants to leave her. The doctors keep telling her that she is faking it. Canada seems to be doing well. Try to keep it that way or you will regret it, quickly. 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
