More COVID Deaths than 9/11 Deaths
« on: September 11, 2020, 12:24:52 PM »
Separating this from the remembrance thread. Are these people serious? There are some "big name" journalists and others who seem to practically be coordinating on this. Terrible day to do it.

Also, there were more flu deaths this year than 9/11 deaths. There were more heart attack deaths than 9/11 deaths. There were more automobile deaths than 9/11 deaths...

Ok. Someone ought point out that if we are to take this as comparable to 9/11, shouldn't we, then, respond like 9/11 and seek out the cause of the attack?

How soon do we wipe out the people responsible for the release and spread of this disease? Should we drive Xinnie the Pooh into hiding in Pakistan?

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

So do they think the deaths would be less or more if Hillary had been President?  And what would she have done differently?

SHE would have taken it SERIOUSLY. IMAGINE if the country only could have had leadership like the state of New York has! That's what the smartest womxn EVAH would have done.

Guess we need a new Patriot Act then. And another GITMO.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

We probably had more deaths due to traffic accidents as well.  Should we declare war on traffic accidents?  Or just traffic?  Maybe reduce the speed limit to 25...to save the children.

Irrelevant. Logic doesn't play into the message.

My tinfoil hat is in place now, possibly rightly so. Everywhere I'm looking has "journalists" and others (and I don't mean Politico or other rinky dinks - the big names) reciting this "66 times" number using almost the exact same wording. This is absolutely coordinated.

I remember seeing a youtube clip that had spliced different news reports saying literally the same thing. Don't remember what they were talking about but it was quite a few.
