Hospitals here in my county are laying off Dr and nurses left and right.
My wife's childhood best friend is in a big pharma company. She told my wife there will be no real vaccine. Corona is still the common cold, and they haven't found a vaccine for it yet it how many years, with all our new tech? So why do we expect one within a year or two now?

Holy non sequitur arguments batman.
Lockdowns, social distancing, masks (which are not bad for your health) and hand washing work. Protesting not getting a hair cut does not.

Yea, down here really seems to be a county by county basis. Some counties have crazy numbers, and then smaller one's like mine are having little to no ICU beds taken for covid like symptoms. We are still at 79 deaths last I checked, and almost all were over 65, but we are down on flu deaths, RSV deaths, and whole list of other causes of deaths.
I feel bad for O-town and south FL, but they also have a higher number of retirees, and elderly care facilities. Have you checked other causes of death in your county to see if they are higher or normal compared to years past?
edit: Went and did your research for you. You guys down in Broward definitely had a halt to all flu, rsv, and other illness deaths back in week 11 when corona took over. Crazy how coronavirus just stops influenza, and all these other viruses and bacterial infections that had killed people in the past, huh?

And the skyrocketing COVID19 cases and continual deaths in the US are a MSM fabrication I guess? Like this guy ?

Of the hundreds of millions of people in the USA the number of covid deaths must be insignificant as well right?

What number does it need to reach to become relevant to you ?
It's almost at 140 000, I take it that's not enough for you, would 300 000 raise an eyebrow, half a million maybe, can't say I know what level of loss of significant to you, why don't you tell us

What list are you looking at?
According to worldometers the US is #9 in deaths per capita. If the deaths were 1/2 and 1/4 of those reported (adjusted for inflation) they would still be 23 and 36, respectively, out of 213. That is nowhere near the bottom of that list.

That is a strawman.
The claim was that the US is at the bottom of the COVID danger list. Can you provide the number of deaths caused by the transfers you mentioned?
Saying the toll is mainly a result of that is disingenuous.
In California, thousands of nurses, doctors and other medical staff have been laid off or furloughed or have taken a pay cut since mid-March. The pain has been felt broadly, from major facilities such as Stanford Health Care to tiny rural hospitals to private practitioners. Across the nation, job losses in the healthcare sector have been second only to those in the restaurant industry, according to federal labor statistics.

In my county with no excess deaths? In fact a lower than average rate of death in my area overall. Ok... lol
Go the DoH website and look at the ages of people dying here in FL. Over 85% are over 65 yrs old. Then you have to work in underlying conditions, false claims of covid deaths (do i really need to pull up articles?), false positive readings, and you realize my county has not been affected at all. Sorry that doesn't fit your narrative.
Fear mongering doesn't look good on anyone. I have stated every time that I am talking about my county. If you are too dense to absorb that, that is your problem not mine. K, thx, bai!
