Last time I checked, global pandemics that kill millions of people in the span of several months don't take place "all the time"

Pretty sure there are tons of reasons other than politics for that.

1) first states hit hard without as much knowledge how to treat it
2) first states hit hard overwhelming hospitals and staff
3) population density
4) public transit
5) international travel bringing it in from every direction making it hard to contact trace and isolate

Sorry, you're ignoring the elephant in the room.

So you're assuming no one else is going to die from here on out with cases and deaths surging once again across the globe w/ no cure or vaccine immediately available?

I made the aforementioned statement on the premise that deaths will unfortunate tally well into the millions and that's a very reasonable assumption at this point

Stop spreading fake info. Report the actual deaths.

When someone pushes the public into acting a certain way(mask wearing) in order to not spread covid, yet ignores governors (dems) directly sending infected patients into nursing homes then we have an impasse.

The nursing home fiasco is a valid point but doesnt change the need to wear face coverings now. That's done and over as far as the nursing home issue. Investigate it all you want but that's not helping to stop the virus spread we are seeing now which should be priority number 1.

Seriously, what is your problem? Do you not know when to stop with the political drivel and one-liners? I'm really doing my very and upmost best to keep myself composed and civil with you, but I don't think I'm alone in saying that you really need to cut this crap out asap.

Here's my strategy:

Ask those who are in the higher risk category to limit their access to the general public, wear masks, gloves, even a face shield if necessary. Individuals who are not in the higher risk category should be allowed to continue their lives understanding any potential risk just like getting into a car and driving to work. To destroy one group's dreams, jobs, and livelihood over against another group is not necessary.

Wow, that's actually insane. Why do you think it is taking so long to get your test results in your particular case? I'm naively thinking a backlog in testing but not entirely sure?

If so, that's insane and goes to show we really don't understand the true scope of this virus at this very moment and we are almost certainly vastly underestimating it (plus not everyone gets tested) and the numbers/figures we're seeing are lagged by at least a few weeks given covid's incubation period + cases backlog

My grandpa is still getting tests at the rehab center at huntersville oaks, Because 2 weeks ago he tested positive even tho he had no symptoms, the last test he got (which was negative) took nearly 6 days for results, my dad was about to cuss them out lol, but good thing is, 2 months after his Covid related stroke, he’s coming back home on Friday for sure this time
