The US has spent 6 trillion on covid relief so far and I don't think that includes the last package. Divide that by 358K deaths and the feds have spent $16.7 million per death. Does anyone truly believe this was a good investment of you tax dollars?

Even if you divide that number by the 20.9 million that have tested positive (remember the vast majority didn't require hospitalization) it is 287K per positive test.

All that and we still have people whining for more money.

I think the decline has been going on for a long time, this is likely the collapse. Time to learn Mandarin.

I've been telling ya for years here. Shrek will back me up on that.

Not sure on Mandarin though, they have their own problems. But I keep keeping my passport current.

At least my 4 sport parlay looks locked.

Years?

“Shrek” has only been here since August 2019.

Do you know something we don’t?

Overall our response sucked.
There is absolutely no doubt about that
There are states that still dont require masks
That blows me away


No state should require masks, but they should be strongly encouraged...and people should just shut the hell up and wear them in any business that wishes for them to do so.

And how many times more population today?

When an American hears a number of deaths then never ask "compared to what?"


How about 17,000 from the Swine Flu? I seem to remember a notable public figure, namely, the President, calling that a disaster.

This is great. A snowflake loses it
in an elevator because a delivery
guys mask slipped. This is the
future if the Libs get their way.

You know...maybe Xanax isn't THAT overprescribed. Poor lady probably blew her vocal cords out and thought she had Covid.

Today is day 300 of "just a couple weeks to flatten the curve."

Yet people still believe what they are told about masks and everything else.
