And those aren't all the casualties! Those in between are the workers that have been laid off because the company they worked for was ordered to be closed and the owners of those businesses who will never reopen and have lost their entire livelihoods and all their savings. It's estimated that 40% of small businesses are gone for good, and the millions of people who worked there will be unemployed for many more months. The toll on them is even now becoming catastrophic with alcohol abuse, drug abuse, domestic and child abuse growing as families become more and more destitute every week. When do we start counting those casualties who have foregone doctor visits because of the fears inflicted by the media? How many millions of people didn't get mammographies, or screening for prostate and other cancers which could have been cured if caught early are now going to wind up dead? How many others have been suffering needlessly because they were afraid to visit their doctor's waiting rooms, whether it was their GP, their dentist, or their ENT, for the same fear? How many thousands suffered and will continue suffering waiting for hip, knee, or shoulder replacements or repairs because hospitals need to stay ready to be overwhelmed with Covid patients?Cannonpointer » 06 Dec 2020, 4:00 am » wrote: ↑ The disease takes octogenarians.

We don't need a nanny government telling us the risks and making demands on our lives any longer, especially with the Trump Vaccine now being distributed. People aren't as dumb as the government wishes we were. We know well enough what precautions to take and can decide for ourselves whether the risk is too high to take without them interfering and making political decisions based on what should be deemed a necessary business and where a divining line should be, based on where some **** politician gets the most voters from. One of my customers in Staten Island NY has been permitted to stay open because the south shore of Staten Island is heavily Democratic, while the north shore traditionally votes Republican. So, take a guess who gets to stay open and which side of the city has their restaurant/bar closed down and the owner led away in handcuffs, while 3-4 blocks away those same kinds of businesses are free to open with only minimal restrictions, all the while an idiot partisan bureaucrat like Nancy Pelosi holds up a relief bill for the country because she wants billions in it to fund the overspending in city budgets that have nothing to do with the pandemic whatsoever.
Guess which side a senile doofus named Biden will favor?
