sorry about your family member

At the time September 11 happened we had I think 12 underground centers in the Virginia area, today over 200 just in the Virginia area.

That is quite the spin on things, The Pentagon was hit on 9/11 and now there is a 5 story Pentagon underground as well.

If they died "from" Covid that means they will not die of something else a few months or a year or two later.

Whatever that "other cause" would have been (flu, pneumonia, kidney failure, heart failure, cancer etc..) gets reduced.

No one wants grandma or grandpa to die prematurely, but when they do die of Covid prematurely it will change the stats for other diseases in the short term.
Bullshit. That is not the discussion. There is no causation indicated in the Scientific American article and graph

Dying form covid before other longer term diseases can kill them does not REDUCE other longer term diseases.

You have been absolutely wrong on ever f**king thing you have posted about covid. You are no better than boxcar, except you use pseudo-scientific jargon to dress up your ignorance and nonsense. Last time we spoke you claimed testing and cases were inaccurate metrics to use. You said hospitalizations were proper. That was when hospitalizations were slightly less than the previous two peaks claiming because of your ridiculous version of her immunity, "see the pandemic is going to subside". Which you have bloviated repeatedly , always wrong.

BTW, testing and daily cases are indeed useful metrics

It is your right to be outraged if you want, but at least show the outrage equally among participants for both parties. Don't pick and choose.
I am pretty sure I already called foul o n the entire WH staff getting it the other day.

I hope ALL the pols who cut line get serious reactions and die.

I cannot share that hope with you as I do not want anyone to catch it. I just wish that the same level of concern would have been shown throughout the past year. I hope you are feeling better.

I'm not thinking that these underground facilities do not exist, but actually, Fast, this video (and probably as the whole series will show) turned out to be quite outrageous. I would say it's generally meant to be nothing but more leftist propaganda and Trump bashing.

Private enterprise did all the work, took all the risks and deserve ALL the credit.

This is the same bull shit logic that says Reagan ENDED the cold war when, in fact, he was just the president when years and years of cold war pressures sank the USSR....He did not do what hundreds of others did

Usually all of the risks would include selling the product too. Given that they had a guaranteed sale wouldn't that substantially decrease the risks?

That's one way of looking at things.
