I'm still heated. My baby's momma is on her death bed in large part because they kept delaying giving her the double mastectomy due to there being no beds cause Covid had the hospitals over populated. By the time they were able to get her in the cancer had started to spread beyond the breasts. It's them same a$$holes calling it a hoax and not taking it seriously that lead to hospitals being packed.

Obama: When I was president, I had been talking to scientists for a while so during my last year in office, we put together a pandemic playbook for how to deal with the eventuality of a pandemic.. When Trump came in, we gave over this playbook and he threw it out. I want to be fair on this, no matter who was going to president, this was going to be a problem… But if you look at a country like Canada, their per capita death rate was 40% lower than here. So just do the math. That’s more than 400k people. People’s grandparents, people’s fathers, people’s moms who would’ve been alive if Trump had just paid attention and tried to follow the plan that we gave him. It might have been somebody in your family that could’ve been impacted. So, if somebody tells you that this doesn’t make a difference, having somebody competent who cares about you.. it does matter and at some point, it will make a difference to them

We didn’t deserve Obama.
My grandpa died of COVID April 2020. I watched his funeral via zoom. The worst day for me was to watch my mom say goodbye to her dad via zoom. I will never forget that.
And yet I had that. Many families didn’t.
I hate Trump for this.

@CaliLogicalMind
Trump’s legacy is a catastrophic disaster. His botched pandemic response decimated our healthcare system, with over 900,000 hospitalizations and frontline workers completely burned out. 
More than 1.1 million American lives were lost due to his reckless disregard for science. The economy? 22 million jobs lost in just two months, and it took years to recover. 
His incompetence didn’t stop there—it fueled global inflation, sparking economic chaos around the world. As Biden works to clean up this mess, it’s crystal clear: Trump’s legacy is one of profound failure and negligence.

Trump's ego, incompetence and destruction of Obama's pandemic playbook directly caused more than 400k people’s fathers, moms, grandparents and other family members to unnecessarily die. Trump is unfit to lead.

Obama need to sit his bytch ass down
When the vax first came out it was given in two doses. I got those and one every year after that so I think I just got my 5th covid vaccination last week. I got it with the flu shot at the same time and damn the covid shot hurts so much more. It's not debilitating but when you rub in the next couple days after it is sore af.
Other than the soreness I never had any other negative effects until the most recent. Had to take the day off to walk it off, felt really lethargic and didn't get off the couch all day.

this clip serves as a terrifying reminder that Trump learned absolutely nothing from covid and is completely unequipped to handle any type of public health crisis

Trump describing the pandemic to The Undertaker should make you terrified for the possibility of another happening under him.
“Who would’ve ever thought the word pandemic…I had heard the word, but you never thought it was a modern day…nowadays you take a shot and you’re fine.”

Seconds Until Election Day
It is also the TOTAL number of
Covid Deaths in The United States since January 1, 2020.
1,207,814 people whose lives were cut short, and we will never know how many could have been prevented.
Donald Trump acted like an Authoritarian NOT a Humanitarian.
He gave away ventilators, tests, and supplies to Russia.
He said it would go away in a few days.
He himself, was incredibly sick and had to be treated at Walter Reed.
He told you to drink bleach and light.
He told you to eat horse paste.
He made mask wearing divisive.
Every single time the clock ticks until Election Day, is a person who mattered and is not here today.
Vote Trump out of existence.
Vote for science.
Vote for sanity, logic, and reason.
Vote for compassion.
Vote for empathy.
Vote for democracy.
Vote for Kamala Harris.
Vote for those 1,207,814 who will never get the chance to do so!

Because most reporters today are nothing more than puppets for their billionaire owners. They aren't allowed to report facts or anything that reflects their own reality.
They are manufacturing an alternative reality that paints Trump and billionaires as heroes instead of greedy idiots

The reason we closed schools was not just kids, but because they could spread it to others at home. Over 40% of grandparents are involved in childcare. As a society we can't isolate grandparents and kids away from each other. That's why it was wise to close schools during the worst of the pandemic.

They spent lots of time telling us that kids couldn't get it. Teachers could, obviously, but we didn't really signify. Missing school did have some negative developmental effects (which decent parents could have counteracted), but getting upset because test scores dipped is truly idiotic.

About one in 30,000.
IMO, saving 1 child's life would not justify seriously disrupting 60 million kids' educations.

A new study led by researchers at the University of Oxford’s Department of Computer Science has found that, between 2021 and 2022, COVID-19 was a leading cause of death in children and young people in the United States, ranking eighth overall. The results demonstrate that pharmaceutical and public health interventions should continue to be applied to limit the spread of the coronavirus and protect again severe disease in this age group.
The study indicates that pharmaceutical and public health interventions remain important to protect children and young people against COVID-19. Image credit: Shutterstock.
COVID-19 was the underlying cause of death for more than 940,000 people in the US, including over 1,300 deaths among children and young people aged 0–19 years. Until now, it had been unclear how the burden of deaths from COVID-19 compared with other leading causes of deaths in this age group.
The researchers investigated this using data from US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention databases for the period 1 August 2021 to 31 July 2022.
Key findings:
- Among children and young people aged 0 – 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of death; fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.
- By age group, COVID-19 ranked seventh (infants), seventh (1–4 year olds), sixth (5–9 year olds), sixth (10–14 year olds), and fifth (15–19 year olds).
- COVID-19 was the underlying cause for 2% of deaths in children and young people (800 out of 43,000), with an overall death rate of 1.0 per 100,000 of the population aged 0–19. The leading cause of death (perinatal conditions) had an overall death rate of 12.7 per 100,000; COVID-19 ranked ahead of influenza and pneumonia, which together had a death rate of 0.6 per 100,000.
Like many diseases, COVID-19 death rates followed a U-shaped pattern across this age-range. COVID-19 death rates were highest in infants aged less than one year (4.3 per 100,000), second highest in those aged 15–19 years (1.8 per 100,000), and lowest in children aged 5 –9 years (0.4 per 100,000).
Overall, deaths in children and young people were higher during the Delta and Omicron waves compared to previous waves (pre-July 2021), likely reflecting the higher numbers infected during these periods. Nevertheless, in the pre-Delta period of the pandemic, COVID-19 still ranked as the ninth leading cause of death overall.
- The month with the highest number of COVID-19 related deaths in 0 - 19 year-olds was January 2022 at 160.
Although COVID-19 amplifies the impacts of other diseases (such as pneumonia and influenza), this study focuses on deaths that were directly caused by COVID-19, rather than those where COVID-19 was a contributing cause. Therefore, it is likely that these results understate the true burden of COVID-19 related deaths in this age-group.
Compared with other age-groups, the overall risk of death from COVID-19 was substantially lower in children and young people. For instance, between 1 August 2021 and 31 July 2022, the COVID-19 death rate among all ages in the US was 109 per 100,000. However, because deaths among children and young people in the US are rare, the mortality burden of COVID-19 is best understood in the context of all other causes of death in this age-group.
According to the researchers, these results suggest that, with variants of COVID-19 continuing to circulate, public health measures such as vaccinations, staying at home when sick, and ventilation still have an important role to play in limiting transmission of the virus and mitigating severe disease in children and young people.
Associate Professor Seth Flaxman (Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford), lead author of the study, said: ‘These results demonstrate that while it's rare for kids and teens to die in the US, COVID-19 is now the leading underlying cause of death from infectious disease for this age group. Fortunately, we now have an array of effective tools to minimize risk, from building ventilation to air purifiers to safe vaccines. Working together, communities can significantly limit the extent of infection and severe disease.’

The study also involved researchers from Imperial College London, Queen Mary University of London, Columbia University, the National University of Singapore and the University of Copenhagen.
