    You need to do your research. George Floyd had COVID-19 in his system when he passed away.

    Show me the science.

    And, then please explain how this pertains to an issue of how China and/or the USA handled this outbreak.

    One of the main problems here is that when diseases cross from animals to humans, there isn't necessarily any big warning sign. The best that can happen after the fact is to have labs in place for scientists to study the diseases people are showing up with.

    These scientists will do the best they can, but there will be learning going on. And, it's pretty dang obvious that blaming science for that general fact of life makes no sense at all.

    The bottom line is that we need a far more robust and planned response to the threat of bio attacks of all origins.

    We need MORE labs like that in Wuhan, because it turns out there is a gigantic reservoir of infectious diseasese carried by animals in sections of Asia and other continents.

    We failed spectacularly this time.

    The rest of the problem is that we are doing nothing to strengthen our approach. We're even attacking medical science!

    George Floyd was flat out murdered.

    There is NOTHING that contributes doubt of any kind.

    ~ Floyd died in May 2019. That is relevant. Wuhan virus was here that early.
    ~ We know the doctor in China who warned his colleagues about the Wuhan virus died in September . He was likely infected in August. The CCP knew all of this.

    Nonsense. Floyd was complaining that he was having trouble breathing before the cops had laid him on the ground. Watch the body cam footage and read the transcript.

    His was not diagnosed as a COVID-19 death because of the left’s political ambitions, even though there are countless deaths attributed to COVID-19 in the U.S. simply because the person died while having COVID-19 in their system.

    Where are you getting your data for hospitalization rate? CDC is showing a hospitalization rate of 167 people per 100,000 population. That places your overall odds of being hospitalized at 0.17%. For people over 65 years of age, the rate is 451 per 100,000, putting the elderly's odds of Covid hospitalization at 0.45% Your odds of not being hospitalized are over 99.5%

    Also consider that Redfield, the director of the CDC said "For every confirmed case, officials are likely missing another 10 cases," so the number of people who have been infected and didn't call a doctor or get counted could be closer to 68.5 million, added to the 6.85 million cases which are counted.

    He didn't die from Covid. It is irrelevant

    He didn't die from a drug overdose.

    Floyd was murdered

    ~ You have a one track mind. We are discussing the Wuhan virus - not police brutality.

    If you're going to parse out and cherry pick what comes from the CDC

    Then you have to pay attention to what they say is the MOST important thing

    Masks work. WEAR THEM

    Then let’s assume the following stats;

    2017 - 2018 flu season VERSUS Covid19

    Covid19

    Confirmed cases; 22.5 million
    Number of Hospitalizations; 650,000......(cumulative according to CDC 167 x 3330 = 556,000
    Number of deaths; 100,000, just to please our repulsive children

    2017- 2018 flu season

    Estimated illnesses; 45M
    Estimated Hospitalizations; 810,000
    Estimated deaths; 61,000

    There you go.......

    Despite the fact I’ve intentionally boosted our Covid19 confirmed cases to 22.M

    Despite the fact I’ve intentionally boosted our Covid19 Hospitalizations to 650,000

    Despite Covid19 mitigation efforts, such as; Trump’s Travel bans that have apparently saved hundreds of Thousands of lives

    Conclusion;

    Covid19 Case Hospitalization Rate; Significantly higher than Common Flu

    Covid19 Hospitalization Fatality Rate; Significantly higher than Common Flu

    Covid19 Case Fatality Rate; Significantly higher than Common flu

    Number of Covid19 deaths; Significantly higher than 2017-2018 flu season

    However, will the above-mentioned comparison sastisfy our repulsive children?

    Answer; Of course not!

    Ah, so the cops were placing Floyd in the well know recovery position and applying pressure to his neck to help his breathing.

    Keep working
    Keep wearing masks
    Keep your distance

    It’s the only proven “Let’s keep working” strategy, however, said strategy is ineffective when 40% of the population are acting like repulsive children.

    Perhaps my forum buddies don't have authoritarian mayors threatening citizens with a $2,000 fine for not wearing a mask in public. ;)
