    But facts need context. I could say the US had far and away the most COVID deaths than any other country, and it's not even close. That's a fact but then you should adjust for population size for context.

    Fauci could have told everyone to wear a face mask in February but I doubt it would have changed much. You still have people today refusing to wear masks as a political statement. Fauci and the CDC didn't shift their stance on masks until it became clear the the virus could be spread by asymptomatic carriers and said to reserve the medical grade ones for healthcare workers. As far as I know, masks were still in short supply when their recommendation changed.

    ~ More likely because the medical advice we get in the U.S. flip-flops from one month to the next. Most of it makes little sense and has no reference studies.
    Americans are not as dumb as we think.

    If you only listen to POTUS, American medical experts/politicians/media, then that’s makes you a gullible person.

    For example, here are a few impartial info;

    British Columbia Covid19 press release, January 21st, 2020.

    In said press release, BC’s health officials confirmed that their CDC have developed their own test kits, and were ready for mass testing.....NO FLAWS!

    British Columbia Covid19 press release, March 02, 2020.

    In said press release, BC’s health officials confirmed that to this date, 1,475 citizens/foreigners have been tested.

    Thus, on March 2nd, British Columbia, population 5 million, have tested significantly more individuals than the entire United States.

    QUESTION; According to Trump, WE have the best minds, thus, WHAT the **** happened?

    Is there a recording of Hillary ordering the hits? Because that would be an apples to apples comparison.

    BTW, Trump has admitted he said all those things on tape. So Dear Leader has spoken...

    What I’m trying to say; Due to a high level of polarization, answers to our questions are often found beyond our borders.

    Once again, in my previous post, I stated that answers to our questions are often found beyond our borders, and here are a few indisputable facts;

    24 hours after Taiwan’s Officials intercepted Dr. Li Wenliand’s online warnings of a SARS-like virus, their CDC released a General Alert.

    Within one week if said General Alert, retailed store masks were disappearing faster than Monika Lewinsky’s lip gloss. Thus, in an effort to meet a high demand, and in an effort to keep the cost low, they’ve urgently stopped exporting masks, and converted several factories to making masks/protective gear.

    Note; All of the above occurred prior to their first confirmed case.

    Thus, in reference to the above, what “We, The People” should be discussing/debating is; THE RIGHT THING TO DO, and consider what we’ve been through as a SAD Rehearsal.

    You suffer from a lack of reading comprehension. I said that we have DIRECT FLIGHTS from Wuhan, China to Anchorage, Alaska. DIRECT FLIGHTS. Ours is an international airport hub nicknamed the “gateway to Asia” and has been the main refueling stop for all U.S. Presidents visiting all parts of Asia including China for decades now. If China first started noticing COVID-19 in November 2019 then it stands to reason that the virus had been festering in Wuhan for months before that, hence it is not farfetched that Alaskans have been unknowingly exposed to Chinese tourists infected and carrying the virus for months before that as well. Do you get it now?

    So do San Francisco and New York City. But you really thought that Alaska was the only one? LOL. Just because you named something a "gateway" doesn't make it so.

    And yes, it is RIDICULOUS to believe that people in Alaska have been exposed to a virus that originated in the Wuhan region months before the first recorded cases in the Wuhan region. It is mind numbingly silly to think that. Defies all logic.

    Does anyone even get off the plane in Alaska? LOL

    I don't see any flip flopping.

    However, I'm sure the assault on medical science coming from this administration can make it look like that.

    When executive branch operatives write medical GARBAGE and make it look like it came from the CDC one has to wonder what to believe.

    This assault reduces our ability to even know what medical science is saying.

    Since you brought it up though, New York saw a 77% increase in flu cases in December 2019 versus the year before. I’m curious as to how those cases were diagnosed and if the doctors and/or physicians knew what they were looking for before writing it off as a flu virus?

    He died FROM Covid. The fact that he was in a crash prior to has no bearing. Covid was the cause of death.

    Its nothing but politicization to state otherwise

    Yes, because CDC says that if someone has Covid at the time of their death, they are counted as a Covid death.

    NO. It clearly stated in the article that the COD was "virus-related respiratory failure"

    Covid is what killed the man. Thats just a fact. You literally making things up

    So he had Covid, got in a motorcycle accident, went to the hospital with unknown injuries from the accident, but the articles says the COD was reported by the DR as ""virus-related respiratory failure"

    It literally says his COD is Covid related respiratory failure. no matter what injuries he had from the accident the DR says the COD was "virus related". Thats a true Covid death. Why are you making it something it is not

    I never said that. I'm saying whatever I said September 11th. There were 2 articles. One was a car crash hospitalization. One was a motorcycle hospitalization. Both were diagnosed with Covid and that's what their death certificates say. Not sure I care to restate my opinion forever on this topic or rehash it. My opinion that we don't know for sure what either man actually died "of" hasn't changed. We know what two things they died "with".
