Over a million Americans died and your main concern is that some kids are struggling in school and athletes didn't get to play their games. So much for the value of life.

It wasn’t really Fox “ news” .. it was an opinion piece.

Fox News itself is ok but not the opinion or talk shows

That's right. Fox "news" told the truth about the 2020 AZ election returns and Donald Trump ... flipped out! He led a MAGA peasant revolt and turned Roopert Fox into ... "woke libtards!'' ... overnight. That's some kind of uber powerful '5thAve-strong-leader-man' stuff at work.

First many of the deaths were because people who had tested positive for covid were placed in assisted living facilities. Second many of them died with covid rather than from covid, which can be proved because the U.S. death totals in 2020 are not very much larger than in 2019, certainly no where close to a million more. Third if you were around the school system prior to 2020 and today you wouldnt be poo-pooing the harm that was done to children. Fourth those athletes its not just that they didnt get to play, they lost the ability to go to college. And, finally we shut down huge sections of the country that had no risk from covid. Kids dont die from covid and very few even get sick so you claim I dont value human life, but what about the value of their lives?

As to deaths from covid according to census.gov 535,191 more people died in 2020 in the U.S. than in 2019. That is a 19 percent imcrease, but 15,633 more died in 2019 than 2018 and 25,702 more died in 2018 than in 2017 and 69,255 more died in 217 than 216 and so on. So on average that means somewhwre around 30,000 of that 535191 would have died anuway making the death toll from covid no more than about 535,000 people. A lot, but a far cry from over a million. Stats when misapplied lie. Less than half the number of people tjey cla died fr covidbreally did. Statistically 500,000 of that million would have died anyway.

That’s why you’re an uneducated Democrat.

How quickly you forget what we lucky survivors lived through in 2020. While Republicans were so concerned about the effects of Covid on the economy and Donald Trump’s re-election, they were trying to convince us that Covid was "just like the flu". I know friends and relatives who died and they were not old nursing home patients. I also know many survivors who are currently struggling with the long term effects of Covid. The bottom line is that your struggling children can catch up and your athletes still have opportunities. The million plus American victims of Covid don't get second chances. Many of them foolishly listened to clowns who advised them to pretend they could just live as if there was not a pandemic. As I stated, so much for the value of life. Money and the economy are the only things that really matter.

I already pointed out that the acrual death toll is half what they claim. According to census.gov 535,ooo plus more died in 2020 than in 2919. Each year has more deaths than the previous year, anout 30,000 less a year on average. That means the actual death toll from covid is approximately 500,000. Yes thats a lot, but its a far cry from more than a million.

As to the athletes no, many of them will never have another chance. The NCAA granted everyone at least one extra year of eligibility, which is how Caitlin Clark vroke the scoring record. That meant very few scholarships were given out and if you were in one of tje states that did not have sports in the spring of 1020 and all of 2021 and you graduated from high school in one of those years you were done with sports. Oregon canceled the state playoffs in basketvall midway through the tournament in 2020. They played one game of the consolation round with three soorts reoorters one custodian 4 school administreters three referees a person evaluating the refs and an athletic trainer and the two teams in a 10,000 seat stadium. Five minutes after the game was over they took the baskets down and ordered
wveryone out of the gym.
When they finally did bring back sports they ahad no state playoffs and when some achools sponsored playoffs on their own thwy refuswd to acknowledge the results.

As to losing friends and relatives I am sorry. However if you look at the data about 92 percent of the deaths were people over 50, most older than that. That means most peoole should have been allowed to continue their lives. Prople who were forcwd to close their businesses lost everything. I know far more people who kosr their businesses and their himes than I know people who died.

When it comes to kids that are behind with thwir speech because of everyone wearing masks and those that are behind in achool, i dont know how to tell you this but the experts say they will never catch up.

Places who tried to rain open and defied government edicrs were swverely punished. The funny thing is after the initial repirts of more deaths in the unvaccinatedbthan the vaccinatedbit quickly swung the other way. Had we stayed open while having the most vulneravle stay home and dwliver them food and other necwssities we would havw quickly reached herd immunity and we would have preseevwd peoples vusinesses and dreams. What they did did not save lices but it surw caused a lot of needkess sufferng.

Sorry about the typos. Im on my phone and am notbvery good texting.

Quoting Fox "News" is a contradiction in terms. Might as well bottle toilet water for drinking. Did you forget the nearly $1 billion they agree to pay for telling election LIES?

Because he didn't break any laws.

Libs don't go to prison, they just get celebrated.

Sure he did, on multiple occasions he lied to both houses of congress in hearings..... Last I checked that is a felony.

If a terminal hospice patient dying of cancer tested positive for covid the hospital reported the death as being caused by covid, it amazes me that you libs still don't understand how the government works to infringe on personal freedoms while increasing their power.

Necause it takes more than your opinion to indict and convict someone.

He lied to congress. That is against the law.
