He is saying that a provider disappeared and was no where to be found, he wanted her but could not find or reach her. Then out of the blue she is contacting him nonstop and wanting him to meet up with her. BUT he is still upset that she wasn't available when he originally wanted her.

That's it, is something very common now, but talking about at least four of them I guess they spent already the stimulus check!

The guy is writing in Spanglish. It is a language mostly used in Florida and other Southern border states.

Just not sure if MIA is Miami International Airport where Spanglish along with Spanish are the native language or.

MISSING IN ACTION is the MIA reference.

Missing in action, you got it!

The world health org is the one that started the lies and panic. The hysterical overreaction is entirely their fault. It was their way of trying to get more funds from the nations that were members. Disgusting but true.

Judging by the global death toll and the long lasting heath effects of COVID-19 I say their "overreaction" was pretty justified.

NRA does the same thing with their unsophisticated dipshit members. And that Pep Le Pew (Wayne LaPierre) can't even shoot!

Don't forget those stupid fucking trump supporters that got fleeced by recurring payments. Disgusting but true.

[SkyWookie]

You could illustrate these truths with stick-figures and one syllable words and these dumbasses still will never get it, largely because they don't want to "get it". I'm curious as to why you think that governments permitted the hysterical overreactions worldwide, though.

From the CDC:

"The number of deaths that mention one or more of the conditions indicated is shown for all deaths involving COVID-19 and by age groups. For over 5% of these deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned on the death certificate. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 4. 0 additional conditions or causes per death. ".

33,000 people died of covid, the rest died WITH covid, there's a difference. They crammed every death they could into the covid basket while other deaths fell. Normal number of people who die from influenza in a given year 40-80,000 that number in 2020 6,000. Please do not even try to run the "but people wore masks and socially distanced and that's why there was no flu" for a fucking year all the press talked about was how they US was "THE WORST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD" for covid because nobody wore masks or distanced yet the US was so out fucking standing at wearing masks that nobody died of the flu.

About 150,000 extra people died in 2020, it wasn't half a million, covid isn't nothing, but it's not a half a million people something.

FYI, your "real lockdown measures?

They are responsible for killing at least 10,000,000 people worldwide.

This was from May of last year, it's probably double that number this year so yes those countries did great with covid, I'm sure the mothers in Africa that are watching their children die slow painful deaths laying in the gutter will forever be grateful to you for saving them from covid.

Here's another one and I love how they say "the covid 19 pandemic is causing this" it's not the covid 19 pandemic, it's the hysterical over reacting being demanded by the largest exercise of privilege the world has ever seen which is slowing down the world economy and pushing over half a billion people into extreme poverty.

Let me try this a simpler way, if you end up killing 50,000,000 from starvation over a ten year period you did not successfully manage a disease that has killed 3,000,000 worldwide. Do you understand that?

I'll attach a graphic maybe that will help.

This is absurd nonsense, offers no cites, and mischaracterizes the basic reality that old people are riddled with other ailments and conditions as "they were on their way out" rather than "and that's why they're most vulnerable to Covid-19". Meanwhile in the realm of actual data:

https://cdn.jamanetwork.com/ama/cont...5G5CRDK6RD3PGA

While annual deaths will tend to naturally rise as the American population does, its pretty obvious which one is not like the others:

2015-2016= +31,618.

2016-2017= +69,255.

2017-2018= +25,702.

2018-2019= +15,633.

2019-2020= +503,976.

We officially had 345,323 deaths from Covid-19, but in actuality assuming that +35,552 deaths a year is normal based off 2015-2019, excess deaths beyond expectations was actually 468,424. Its possible some deaths were wrongly credited to non-Covid causes, but its also possible that Covid-19 caused them indirectly, e. G. Stress from the pandemic causing a higher rate of strokes and heart attacks, more people dying of unintentional injuries because they don't want to go to the hospital, etc etc. If those elderly were "on their way out" for some other illness or enfeeblement then Covid-19 sure helped expedite that.

The simple fact of the matter is that deaths / year just don't change much for conditions, which is why I'd been awaiting the final CDC figure. Unless you have some other grand explanation for why half a million more people died than expected the obvious answer is that most if not all of that is due Covid-19. Oh and reminder that this is just 2020 numbers, with the first months of 2021 being some of the highest casualty months on record. Going by the Covid GIS charts here 352,573 Americans died of Covid-19 as of the end of 2020 (roughly in line with CDC figures) but 573,385 Americans have died as of today. Which means that if Covid-19 actually caused 468,424 more excess deaths in 2020 that it has probably already caused 293,368 more excess deaths in 2021, for a total bodycount of 761,792.

So in actuality we're probably at 3/4's of a million deaths due to Covid-19, and will probably wrap up at 4/5 ths. Of course that's just in the short term. For every person that dies of Covid-19, a significant multiple of that suffer permanent health consequences that could result in them dying years earlier. The actuarial toll of that is uncertain but my guess is it'd easily bring us past a million effective deaths.

We had this debate before, and you had to admit you were using partial data (look back 70 pages). The CDC says the were 229,000 excess deaths from late January to mid October. There's no reason not to think the total excess deaths could have reached 500 k, as it was raging later in the year.

Yeah. , you could say someone with the cancer died "with" an anvil to the head, but it was still the anvil being dropped on them that killed them.

Please stop being such a condescending prick.

10,000+ people died of H1 N1 in the US while COVID-19 deaths are 500,000+ that to me said says everything plus there's the fact other countries handle pandemic far better than we did whose deaths are only in the two digits because they implanted REAL lockdown measures not the barely half ass measures the other guy did.
