  1. I love how they can't stop laughing and smiling throughout the whole story because they know how ridiculous this is.
    181
  2. The last thing any fascist government wants is open dissemination of information to the public.
    124
  3. One thing you can be sure of. No matter how bad things get Trump will tell you he is doing a great job.
    71
  4. That's because they worship a lunatic in the white house.
    53
  5. Just count your blessings that Boris Johnson got the virus early. The outcome for the UK would have been much worse had he not.
    49
  6. I have to admit as an American it is odd to hear people speak this way. They speak about spending time with their families as if it is a torture. It's also amazing to me that they have so much more freedom to make these choices than Americans do. Most of us have to work full time jobs just to survive and don't have the luxury of letting one member stay home. Americans generally feel terrible about not being able to spend time with their families and Germans seem to hate being with them.
    48
  7. It also shows what I have always said. In America I hear friends say they will use the military to suppress us. I do not believe that because most in the military are our family members and do not want to harm us. The police yes. Not the military.
    46
  8. Our governor in Florida has a plan to deal with the outbreak. He is going to reopen the schools to ensure everyone gets the virus. Worse Governor in the US taking orders from the worse President in US history.
    43
  9. You look at that crowd and any idea of a "master race" goes right out the window.
    42
  10. Only because they got tested.
    41
  11. One thing congress can always agree on and that's dumping huge amounts of money into the hands of defence contractors even when millions of Americans are starving and homeless.
    40
  12. This is just part of the fallout of the Trump administration. Europe and the rest of the world has lost faith in the United States and will continue to reduce reliance on us. There is a price to be paid when a country breaks it's treaties.
    38
  13. Makes you wonder what the United States excuse is.
    33
  14. I was wondering what the catch was then they said may be enforced in 2 years. A lot can happen in 2 years.
    33
  15.  @dbtahyon5604  Goddamn it the UK is not part of the European Union. They are still in Europe. And we wonder why the world makes fun of us.
    32
  16. A far right Germany. What could go wrong?
    28
  17. This is a problem everywhere. People have forgotten what fascists are. I still can't believe that fascists' took power in Hungary and Italy. People never learn.
    28
  18.  @renmarkable7905  Don't you get it? When the UK left the EU they physically lifted the nation and moved it to South America.
    27
  19.  @lawrencel2544  Exactly. All polls show him in a disastrous loss to Joe Biden. This is not 2016 and Trump is hated more than ever due to his failure to handle the corona crisis and the ensuing economic collapse.
    26
  20. They are trying to do the same in the United States. As conditions around the world worsen we are seeing governments becoming more authoritarian in an effort to protect themselves.
    24
  21.  @antonidas3812  hmmm how can I put this. Police all over the world tend to behave in a certain way. This is because it takes a certain personality to want to be a cop. The military in the US is made up of volunteers who mostly need a job or a way to get an education. They are not filled with an inborn need to dominate others.
    22
  22. This leaves me with such mixed feelings.
    20
  23. I see so now we are going to pretend the president of the United States could not end wars if he wanted too? If he could pull troops out in his last month he could have done it in his first month.
    19
  24.  @nomorewar4189  Well, we know for sure you are not a doctor.
    18
  25. I think one thing that confuses everyone is the term "prop gun". They are guns with dummy rounds or blanks. Obviously someone did not follow safety protocols.
    18
  26. Australia has the same problem as the US they have coal barons with way too much political influence.
    17
  27.  @jeremyxman  You don't shoot two people with a blank.
    17
  28. The man literally made it legal to murder your neighbor. All you have to do is say they sold drugs whether it was true or not.
    16
  29. As an American this gives me hope for my country as well.
    16
  30. Not sure Youtube allows such links anymore but I will try.
    15
  31. I know. They can't even use the virus as an excuse for not doing it because they have plenty of bleach to drink.
    14
  32. Have to love the irony of giving the woman who is blocking production of vaccines for poorer nations a doctorate.
    14
  33. More likely to be beside it not on top of it. Besides would it really matter at this point? Any remains will already be hard to identify as human.
    14
  34. In a shocking turn of events Republicans side with corporate Democrats to pass corporate hand out.
    14
  35. It will be much higher. We are at 140000 with only around a 10% infection rate. By November we will likely be around 50%. Likely closer to 1 million by years end.
    13
  36. Exactly and nothing says democracy more than suppressing information to the public.
    13
  37.  @Twobirdsbreakingfree  HAHAHA you won't give up will you? What they need is some nice coal plants right?
    13
  38. Of course they should be held accountable. Will they? No.
    13
  39. I can't believe you are that gullible.
    12
  40. How will they "play this game"? Stop people from going to a non existent Biden rally? Bunker boys day's are limited. This is not about electing Joe Biden it's about getting rid of Trump.
    12
  41.  @mohamedali2858  So you consider a victimless crime like smoking pot the same as murdering another human being?
    12
  42. Could you imagine if people behaved this way in times of war? No I will not go underground! Bombs are not real! I want to go to the nightclub! explosions only kill 1% of the population and they were too slow to get out of the way!
    12
  43.  @aleczandergordon1298  That's an interesting cope. If it was true than I guess Putin is more incompetent that we thought for deciding to attack Ukraine in the first place.
    11
  44.  @alhira5098  Not really. They are actual guns with dummy rounds or blanks.
    11
  45. Bolsinaro has hipster followers?
    10
  46.  @BigBodyBiggolo  Isolated weather incidents are not the same as a rise in average global temperature. Average global temperature has been steadily rising with the increase of CO2 emissions. That's just a fact.
    10
  47. Might as well go down laughing.
    10
  48.  @AverageJoe483  He's not a conservative or a liberal he's just a troll.
    10
  49. try living in Florida
    10
  50.  @NeutralDice  We may never know the true death toll in the United States.
    10
  51. not sure, but he has been suffering from severe brain swelling for years.
    10
  52. false
    9
  53. Wow they have ANTIFA in Brazil too? Those people are really busy with their fire breathing unicorns.
    9
  54. And you know the only thing he owns worth looting is the guns.
    9
  55. True. If we want to blame someone for the expansion of the virus and lives taken it is definitely the Trump virus.
    9
  56.  @nomorewar4189  I'm on my second day with Covid. Trust me it is not a scam. One thing they don't stress is how painful it is. Calling it "muscle aches" really downplays it.
    9
  57. Seriously, I have never seen him smile before. It seemed he was about to laugh out loud while speaking.
    9
  58.  @Twobirdsbreakingfree  You do realize that your argument against this is based on the assumption that the equipment will never be maintained right?
    9
  59. It's because they have left Russian orthodoxy. What was Russian orthodox in Ukraine is now Orthodox with no allegiance to Russia. They decided to abandon the Gregorian calendar.
    9
  60. There is a lot we don't know. We still don't know if they were shooting a scene when it happened or did Alec just grab a gun thinking it was not loaded and shot them fooling around with it.
    9
  61. All American contractors should have left before now. They had plenty of warning.
    9
  62. Let me guess. You are one of those who think you are supposed to rake a forest like you do your back yard? Climate change is fueling fires all over the west coast and the world not just California. But be happy if you get your wish and California falls you can happily starve to death since California produces most of our food.
    9
  63.  @thelight2230  there are 742 million people in Europe. 44 nations in Europe. Only 328 million in a single nation the US. We are by far worse off than Europe as a whole.
    9
  64. Good thing the military showed up to get the police under control.
    9
  65. Remind me what women's rights are like in Saudi Arabia?
    9
  66.  @brooksstella  Why should Ireland fix our mess?
    8
  67. What do you mean if? Far right Nationalism is spreading across the globe. Trump in the white house is a clarion call to them. Just look at the Ukraine, Bolsinaro in Brazil, it goes on and on.
    8
  68. False information from the intelligence community? That's a first.
    8
  69. All our best to India your suffering must be horrible to bear
    7
  70.  @dennisestradda9746  Oh in case you do not understand you listed the names of leaders of foreign countries who were militaristic authoritarians. List the far left threat here in the US today.
    7
  71.  @gaiustacitus4242  Here is a fact about Georgia Meloni you can deny next. In 1992, Meloni joined the Youth Front, the youth wing of the Italian Social Movement (MSI), a neo-fascist political party founded in 1946 by former followers of Italian fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
    7
  72. No one is alive at this point and it would be no better to let the hurricane bring it down.
    7
  73. Now? I'm 60 and my father was close with cops. They were never good they just were not being filmed.
    7
  74.  Atutre  Well let's be fair best is a matter of opinion. It is a damn good show though.
    7
  75.  @Twobirdsbreakingfree  Well then thank god it's not a nuclear plant right? I understand what you are saying though. Why would people want to maintain their only source of energy? Who has time for such a thing am I right? The cost in dust rags to wipe off the mirrors alone could be in the hundreds of dollars.
    7
  76. Hard to defeat a nation whose people are determined to stand against their aggressor. Even the US could not take Vietnam.
    7
  77. Maybe he needs to double his hydro chloroquine dose.
    7
  78.  @maxbreeze4861  he said 15 and that it would be over by June. Worse President ever.
    7
  79. I wonder if Trump calling the press the enemy of the people might have something to do with the attacks on the press.
    7
  80. Prop guns are real guns.
    6
  81.  @kellypickle2721  Well you have to figure there is an estimated 3 million infected in the US and our population is 328 million. You do the math. Buckle up it is going to get a LOT worse.
    6
  82. People said I was crazy when I said Trump was building that wall to keep us in.
    6
  83. Yes he should be charged with crimes against humanity for his treatment of the indigenous people and the rainforest.
    6
  84.  @mohamedali2858  I see. So do you think we should make sugar illegal? How about Caffeine? Alcohol? I mean we made the mistake of not making them illegal maybe that is why we have so much crime? How about you just admit that comparing legalizing a plant is not the same as legalizing murder.
    6
  85. American citizens have been living in fear of the police for decades.
    6
  86. They did the right thing. They encouraged it and helped them understand that it is for the safety of everyone. It's a shame other countries do not think this way.
    6
  87. True, In America we are so blind to the impact of climate change that most don't understand the amount of food we get from California and the midwest which has been suffering years of catastrophic drought.
    6
  88.  @Kangroo11  There have been no studies showing that these medications work for prevention, and the FDA has issued a warning for serious heart-related side effects if hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine are taken outside of a hospital setting for COVID-19.
    6
  89. Trump is not going to like this. You can expect US sanctions and threats to start soon.
    5
  90. Shame that we don't care so much about the starving children of Yemen. You should look at their eyes some time.
    5
  91. Always slow to call right wing attacks terrorist attacks. If they suspected it might be religious extremists they would shout it from the rooftops.
    5
  92. Starting war with China to slow their economic growth is not likely to work out well.
    5
  93. Paying for things with cash makes it real. It is far too easy to just swipe a card and not realize how much you are actually spending.
    5
  94. And who do you envision fighting this "civil war"?
    5
  95. The average Russian is as detached from this as the average American is detached from the actions of our government. We are all safe as long as we don't draw the attention of officials. Russia or US you are safe as long as you do as you are told and don't threaten the status quo.
    5
  96. As a vaccinated person I can only speak for myself and my friends and family who are also vaccinated. We wear masks when in crowds to show solidarity and support for my fellow citizens. I am aware then when I appear in public without a mask others do not know if I am vaccinated or not.
    5
  97. It's less a question of quality as it is lack of regulation. Florida is run by conservatives so requiring inspections and repairs are low on the list because it impacts profit. Wait till one of the new apartment buildings springing up everywhere catches fire. Very lax regulations allow them to build them of spruce wood with no firewalls.
    5
  98. We stopped viral outbreaks in the past. It takes a government that takes it serious to prevent spread. If you doubt that then compare US cases to somewhere like Vietnam.
    5
  99.  @Patrick_Ross  Yes, it is a very different situation when you live in large communities and have lost people. I can only imagine that those who still feel this is nothing live in isolated small towns.
    5
  100. Mostly because there is no waiving of ip rights for the vaccines and therefore no generic versions being manufactured. In other words in our current system people die to protect intellectual property rights.
    5
  101. You are a perfect example of just how gullible people are.
    5
  102. Now that the US HHS has taken control of data collection the US count will continue to drop. It's not true of course, but what is anymore?
    5
  103. Wow what chaos! Would you like the US military to come in and "fix" this for you? Must be time for regime change.
    5
  104. well I guess you will have to google it yourself y tube doesn't allow outside links.
    5
  105. I can understand Latvia's fear. With so many Russian speakers in Latvia Moscow could try to "liberate" them at anytime.
    5
  106. There are no survivors. We have no basements and the weight of the floors smashed everything under them literally flat as a pancake. Now the only goal is to retrieve remains.
    5
  107. I'm sure the military industrial complex is not complaining.
    4
  108. It's human nature. As long as they can find something else to blame they will never accept reality.
    4
  109. I'm glad to see they are excited about getting rich from our suffering. At least it gives them motivation to find a vaccine.
    4
  110. Yellowstone erupts the world dies.
    4
  111.  @AironNoriaLong  yeah sure they can. You mean a small number of very wealthy people can survive in an artificial environment for a longer period of time. Is this really the hope for the future we are to settle for now? That nuclear winter would likely be followed by an ice age lasting thousands of years.
    4
  112.  @sensora194  Just curious are you in favor of murdering alcoholics too? How about the homeless? Where does your purge end? I guess if you are unwilling to deal with the causes of societies failures then you can just keep killing the undesirables.
    4
  113. @Wednesday's Child That's because you live in the state of denial.
    4
  114. Yes it's a shame Trump was so feckless and did not end the war like he promised during his administration.
    4
  115. well, keep in mind we have this many deaths with only roughly 5% of the population infected. You need to infect 70% of a population in order to reach "herd immunity". How bad do you think it will be if we allow that to happen?
    4
  116.  @NgocNguyen-tk9fp  Funny stuff. I like your sarcasm. You are right though those loonies think God loves Trump even after god made him lose the election.
    4
  117. It's none of those things. Truth is that even Trump cultists are starting to see the emperor has no clothes.
    4
  118. Isn't it interesting that an officer in the CIA (notice they don't mention that) says he is disappointed in the government.
    4
  119.  @tinaforbes1059  Well a nation of 44 million can assemble an sizable army given time.
    4
  120. I agree and I understand why you like youTube. Unfortunately, YT has made the decision to embrace the mainstream and squash the independents that made them popular in the first place. In a few years YT will basically become television. It's not only political opinions it is any small channels. My views went from thousands to a few a day at this point. I never get recommended anymore. In my case it does not matter because I make no money from it anyway, but for creators who depend on income it is a disaster.
    4
  121. How nasty is it that in this day and age people still throw dead bodies into the Ganges.
    4
  122. This gives me hope. I thought Americans were unique in anti vax madness, but it appears that it is just a natural part of human nature and a certain portion of the world's population is just built that way.
    4
  123. Never done that in your life?
    4
  124. Well, it looks like Trump is handing the WHO to China so... Consider the alternative is they deliberately spread false information in order to please Trump.
    4
  125. The idea was to keep Germany from building their own military. Can you guess why?
    4
  126. Why should Russia be different than the USA? The vast majority of Americans believe what they are told by the main stream media. We are all safe to think as we like as long as it does not threaten those in power.
    4
  127. Thank you for making that point. They really don't want to compare them to their neighbors.
    4
  128.  @gaiustacitus4242  uh yeah sure. Do you know that there is an actual fascist leading Italy now and she is loved by the GOP. They even had Viktor Orban speak at CPAC. Honestly, you have no idea what fascism is.
    4
  129.  @noscoper1993  Exactly, thank you for making my point. If you swipe a card for everything it does not feel the same as handing over cash.
    4
  130.  @judyvaughn761  That's terrible. I understand though. Being harassed by cops just for being a teenager made me hate them to this day. I can't imagine how terrible it is to be targeted for race on top of all their other prejudices.
    4
  131.  @nomorewar4189  I understand the opposite. They are underreporting the numbers. CDC is still saying if you are not on the verge of death stay home. In addition you have to prove contact with an infected person to get tested or else it costs you $600. On top of that they are not using antibody testing for new covid cases. What can I say. This is America and everything is political even battling a virus.
    4
  132.  @mohamedali2858  You make a statement comparing a weed to murder and you think I am illogical? Why don't you take your argument to god? He made it.
    4
  133. India will do what it has done to this point. As millions die in India the government just does not report it.
    4
  134. God Damn it everything is not a fn conspiracy. We don't know the details, but he did not shoot twice it was a single bullet.
    4
  135. What the news is failing to tell us is that the Taliban do not have to be nice. They won the war. In other words they are not attacking the airport because they choose not too it's not out of fear.
    4
  136. How the police are ignoring the protests and continuing to shoot unarmed men who have committed no crime is even more shocking.
    4
  137. He sure changed his tune didn't he?
    4
  138. Russia pulled troops off the Ukrainian border. For what purpose should NATO attack Russia?
    4
  139. Careful. The crazies will crawl out to call you names and tell you this is normal.
    4
  140. they want another cold war because it provides an excuse to dump more of our wealth and resources into the hands of the defense contractors. We are in essence a death star.
    4
  141.  @vinniechan  So when California reaches the point they can no longer grow pistachios will distribution of the non existent pistachios fix the problem?
    4
  142.  @mariatorres9789  Really? you know 2 dozen people who switched parties because they don't like that democrats aren't communists. First' off congratulations to you that you have so many friends and that among these 100's of friends 24 of them felt compelled to tell you they switched parties because Joe Biden of all people is a communist. Do you really think anyone would believe such a story? You need to work harder on your tall tales.
    4
  143. Wouldn't it be Plexit?
    4
  144.  @paulburns1333  It's like people who deny climate change because they don't want to take responsibility.
    4
  145. Did they have testing back then? If not then according to Trump the pandemic of 1918 never happened.
    4
  146.  @songohan3321  All bills have something good in them. Nothing changes the fact that during the worse times in our history they have chosen to dump massive amounts into a bloated military while ignoring the suffering of Americans. We spend more than the next ten nations combined all with the idea that if we go to war with China we want to blow up the world fastest. No one is surviving WW3 and we should start thinking of other ways to avoid it than bigger and more numerous nukes.
    4
  147.  @BeefZupreme  I have to give you credit. You are the first Trumper to admit he wants chaos.
    4
  148. Or we could use our influence to correct that? Sounds better than further cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world.
    4
  149. Most of the time he was working for the US and UK.
    4
  150. At this point all the best people in Russia are in jail.
    4
  151. I imagine like any coup works. infiltrate the military and police until you gain enough support to mount the coup. Good thing they were caught before they gained enough support to be successful.
    4
  152. They make up the bulk of the hospitalized and dying.
    4
  153. I think we should be paying more attention to what is happening here at home. The sad truth is that Russia is copying the US model. It is mighty hard for us to criticize the rest of the world.
    4
  154. why would young people want to train to be a truck driver when they are being told that it will be automated in the near future and they would all be out of work?
    4
  155. I hear he has declared war on the US and needs them there.
    4
  156.  @peabase  Yes, we have well trained gang bangers and white nationalists in the armed forces now. Yay. Let's just dump all our resources into the military so that you are either a soldier or starve. Then our journey to the dark side will be complete.
    4
  157. You have a point. We would all be better off without religion.
    4
  158. I wish that rally lasted 2 weeks
    4
  159. What Trump is doing is handing the world stage to the Chinese as we become further isolated.
    4
  160. That is great logic. You honestly think 4,500 soldiers can conquer Afghanistan and defeat a well armed and well trained Taliban army? In 20 years and trillions of dollars we could not beat them. Do all Republicans live in a fantasy land now?
    4
  161. Unfortunately what is needed is a coordinated world wide lockdown. With our current leaders that is not going to happen.
    4
  162. As polluted as the oceans are you should not eat fish anyway.
    3
  163. future generations?
    3
  164.  @AironNoriaLong  No it causes the same effect as a nuclear winter and all life on the planet dies.
    3
  165. Lot of details we don't know.
    3
  166. yes

  167. With this current virus, “we don’t have all the answers yet,” says Dr. Juan Dumois, a pediatric infectious diseases physician at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. This lack of clear knowledge is an ongoing concern for many, who are trying to find the best way to both treat and prevent COVID-19 infections. Anna Giuliano, founding director of the Center for Immunization and Infection Research in Cancer at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, says that it’s too soon to speculate on whether this particular virus will impart immunity. For one, it appears that some people who get COVID-19 may not develop antibodies to the virus. Additionally, there are still many other uncertainties related to the body's immune response to this particular pathogen. “What I can say is that we desperately need research to answer a series of questions," she notes. Sumit Chanda, director and professor with the Immunity and Pathogenesis Program at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute in La Jolla, California, concurs. “The key is going to be (answering) two things," he says. How long do the antibodies provide protection? And two, does the virus mutate to avoid the defense of antibodies?
    3
  168. I'm just here for the crazy comments denying this is happening.
    3
  169. Probably because they understood we are in the middle of a pandemic and did not want to die for the great orange leader.
    3
  170. That was only one fire.
    3
  171.  @xiiixlllvlllxiiix  Relax it could just have easily been a lightening strike. When the conditions are this bad it is just a matter of a spark.

  172. The flu is a serious illness. When the viruses in the vaccine are a good match with what’s circulating, the vaccine can reduce your risk of having the flu by 40%-60%. And even when the match isn’t great, being vaccinated before you get the flu can help you avoid having a severe case. Numerous studies have shown that the vaccine cuts your risk of having to go to the hospital -- and if you are hospitalized, you’re much less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit. According to the CDC’s estimates for the 2018-19 season, vaccinating only half of all Americans prevented 4.4 million cases of the flu, 58,000 hospitalizations, and 3,500 deaths. That was in a year that the vaccine was only 29% effective.

  175.  @WoofyMcDoodle  Well we know that Russia has hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded troops. This is why they have to continuously draft citizens into the war. If they had not lost the bulk of their forces they would not need the draft.

  179.  @gaiustacitus4242  Do you ever think before you speak? Ever once bother to look something up before you type such a statement? Italy is primarily a free market, capitalist country with a few command economy elements remaining from its history. The political system allows for private ownership, and the private sector controls much of the resources and the means of production. Very odd behavior for Marxists.

  180. Since mRNA is active only in a cell’s cytoplasm and DNA is located in the nucleus, mRNA vaccines do not operate in the same cellular compartment that DNA is located. Further, mRNA is quite unstable and remains in the cell cytoplasm for only a limited time mRNA never enters the nucleus where the DNA is located so it can’t alter DNA.

Although COVID-19 is seen as a disease that primarily affects the lungs, it can also damage many other organs, including the heart, kidneys and the brain. Organ damage may lead to health complications that linger after COVID-19 illness. In some people, lasting health effects may include long-term breathing problems, heart complications, chronic kidney impairment, stroke and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. Some adults and children experience multisystem inflammatory syndrome after they have had COVID-19. In this condition, some organs and tissues become severely inflamed.

  298.  @Andy_Paris  We used to believe that. That theory was abandoned by the 70's. A challenge to the law of declining virulence A talented young Australian mathematician named Robert May came across the work of his compatriot Charles Birch, an eminent ecologist working on the regulation of animal populations. Together with epidemiologist Roy Anderson, May went on to pioneer the application of mathematical modelling to the ecology and evolution of infectious disease. By the late 1970s, May and Anderson had developed the “trade-off” model for the evolution of virulence – the first conceptual framework in 100 years to challenge the Smith’s general law of declining virulence. The trade-off model recognizes that pathogen virulence will not necessarily limit the ease by which a pathogen can transmit from one host to another. It might even enhance it. Without the assumed evolutionary cost to virulence, there is no reason to believe that disease severity will decrease over time. Instead, May and Anderson proposed that the optimal level of virulence for any given pathogen will be determined by a range of factors, such as the availability of susceptible hosts, and the length of time between infection and symptom onset. This last factor is a key aspect of the epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2. The long time period between infection and death (if it occurs) means that SARS-CoV-2 has a significant window in which to replicate and spread, long before it kills its current host. The trade-off model is now widely accepted. It emphasizes that each host-pathogen combination must be considered individually. There is no general evolutionary law for predicting how these relationships will pan out, and certainly no justification for evoking the inevitability of decreased virulence. There is little or no direct evidence that virulence decreases over time. While newly emerged pathogens, such as HIV and Mers, are often highly virulent, the converse is not true. There are plenty of ancient diseases, such as tuberculosis and gonorrhoea, that are probably just as virulent today as they ever were.

  303.  @vinezero  What is it with conservatives and their desire to be dominated? The man has rights and had committed no crime. In what world do you draw guns on someone for having a partially obstructed temporary tag on a new vehicle? Once he pulled over it was clear he did not pose any threat. The man did not try to run from them all he did was pull into a well lit area where he felt safe and that is not an unusual thing to do. By unprofessional I mean the cops were in a rage and had no control over their behavior.

  318.  @dark_master_Makei  The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances signed on the december 5, 1994 agreed on 6 principles. 1. Respect the signatory's independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2 Refrain from the threat or the use of force against the signatory. 3. Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by the signatory of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against the signatory. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. Russia has broken the first 3. so far.

  328.  yousef Abdallah  Obama better than Trump does not make Obama great. Obama took us from 2 wars to seven. Oversaw a massive increase in drone strikes that had an accuracy rate of 2%. Bailed out wall street while letting mainstream take the hit (remember the crash of 08 and the failure to bailout Americans who then lost their homes?). Obama gave us a right wing health care plan dreamed up by the heritage foundation and put in place by Mitt Romney. If he was truly progressive we would have med4all, affordable college and marijuana would not still be classified as a schedule 1 narcotic. If you want to use the stock market as an indicator then Trump must be the greatest president in history. In reality mainstreet and wall street are not connected. NAFTA and TPP were disasters that cost the Democratic party the working class If the Democrats continue to ignore the plight of working Americans we will have someone even worse than Trump in the next 4 years. Obama failing the average American is why we got Trump.

Often you will see these wards set up as tents because the hospital has no room to set up an area large enough to deal with the number of cases. So the hospitals still have an ICU that is in use as well as the influx of Covid patients. Now can you understand why they are stressed and understaffed? 2/3 of beds allocated to infectious disease are full.

Destroying the lives of your nation's citizens in order to prepare for the end of the world is insane. While we are throwing all our money into bombs the Chinese are continuing to progress.

  355.  @thelight2230  Not in deaths per thousand people they do not. That is why the population and nations matter. Mortality rate, or death rate,[3]:189,69 is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of time. Mortality rate is typically expressed in units of deaths per 1,000 individuals per year; thus, a mortality rate of 9.5 (out of 1,000) in a population of 1,000 would mean 9.5 deaths per year in that entire population, or 0.95% out of the total.
    2
  356.  @thelight2230  Yes, but we still lead in total deaths. Either by population or nation. There is no metric that shows us better off. You had to combine 44 nations with over twice our population to even get close.

At least 2,555 of the killings have been attributed to the Philippine National Police. Duterte and other senior officials have instigated and incited the killings in a campaign that could amount to crimes against humanity. Human Rights Watch research has found that police are falsifying evidence to justify the unlawful killings. Despite growing calls for an investigation, Duterte has vowed to continue the campaign.

  423.  @demef758  I hate long posts, but at least this way you can't straight up deny reality again. Extreme heat, strange storms, and climate change set the stage for California’s fires The lightning storm around the San Francisco Bay Area that sparked many of the current California fires was a rare event. “The last time we had something like this was over a decade ago, actually,” said Bennett. The fact that lightning started these fires is also noteworthy. The vast majority of wildfires in California are ignited from human sources — power lines, arson, neglected campfires, and so on. But the fires wouldn’t have been so bad were it not also for the extreme heat that’s been baking the state for weeks. “This is a big, big, prolonged heat wave characterized not only by hot daytime temperatures but also record-warm overnight temperatures and an unusual amount of humidity,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California Los Angeles and a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. “It turns out increased humidity plays a role in why there are so many fires right now.” A decaying tropical storm earlier this month in the eastern Pacific Ocean sent a plume of moisture over California. Amid the scorching heat, the moisture formed clouds that generated immense amounts of wind, thunder, and lightning but very little rain. “The humidity was high enough to produce these thunderstorms, but not high enough to produce significant flooding rainfall that would mitigate fire risk,” Swain said. Local residents sit next to a vineyard as they watch the LNU Lightning Complex fire burning in nearby hills on August 20, 2020 in Healdsburg, California. Fires like those in the LNU Lightning Complex were ignited by dry lightning, a product of moisture from a decaying Pacific storm. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Much of California’s vegetation was also parched and primed to burn, and concerns that this would be an exceptionally bad fire year started to emerge in February as the state emerged from one of its driest winters on record. This was then followed by an abnormally hot spring. “There were a number of unusually significant early-season heat waves this spring both in Northern and in Southern California,” Swain said. And California is now experiencing the impacts of climate change, which is manifesting in fires. The weather in California is becoming more volatile. Temperatures are also rising, which is causing the state’s forests, grasslands, and chaparral to dry out even more. The state already has millions of dead trees stemming from years of drought and pests like pine beetles. More heat could stress these ecosystems even further.

  424. @carpe diem you don't solve climate change you try to slow it. Thank god advances in battery technology will solve the issue with wind and solar. We have the tech for fully renewable liquid batteries just need time to see them reach their full potential. Nuclear power is too dangerous and they leave the waste on site where it eventually leaks into the ground water. I don't think there is a one size fits all option at this point, but we have to invest in green energy or go the way of the dinosaur.

  456.  @ImperatorofNonsense  Trump has repeatedly said that his decision to impose the travel restrictions on Jan. 31 was made despite objections from most of the experts on containing the spread of infectious disease. “But we closed those borders very early, against the advice of a lot of professionals, and we turned out to be right. I took a lot of heat for that,” Trump said on March 4. Asked by Hannity the same day about his rationale at the time he made the decision, Trump said, “I would say everybody said, it’s too early, it’s too soon, and good people, brilliant people, in many ways, doctors and lawyers and, frankly, a lot of people that work on this stuff almost exclusively. And they said, don’t do it.” Trump repeated this claim at his town hall in Scranton on March 5, saying that as soon as he heard that China had a problem with the coronavirus, he asked how many people the U.S. had coming in from China. “Nobody but me asked that question,” Trump said. Trump added that his decision to impose the travel restrictions was made “against the advice of almost everybody.” Everybody? Not according to Azar, who said it was the “uniform” recommendation of experts in his department. “The travel restrictions that we put in place in consultation with the president were very measured and incremental,” Azar told reporters on Feb. 7. “These were the uniform recommendations of the career public health officials here at HHS.” The World Health Organization cautioned against the overuse of travel restrictions, but stopped short of saying that Trump’s decision in the U.S. — or anyone else’s in other countries — was inappropriate. “[W]e reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions inconsistent with the International Health Regulations,” WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told its executive board. “Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit. So far, 22 countries have reported such restrictions to WHO. Where such measures have been implemented, we urge that they are short in duration, proportionate to the public health risks, and are reconsidered regularly as the situation evolves.”

  475.  @ullasbisleri3559  Hmmm I guess y tube is just deleting any comments that have links in them. So anyway no it is not. There are over 4 million people died of covid in India. The actual count is ten times the official count. You will have to google it yourself since we are not allowed to link anymore.
    1
  476.  @ullasbisleri3559  It's not my google findings. It's well accepted. What they do is compare recorded deaths from years that precede the pandemic and compare them with deaths during the pandemic. When they do that they find there are over 4 million more deaths during the pandemic than previous years.
    1
  477.  @ullasbisleri3559  Keep in mind my friend that India has not had access to vaccine and have a massive tightly packed population. So again unless you think Indians are some kind of super race then there is no way they have such a low death toll.
    1
  478.  @ullasbisleri3559  Really? Going to make this about race? Actually if you looked into it you would find there is undereporting in other countries as well. It's just that India is being touted as some kind of model to follow due to the low reported death toll. Although death tolls are higher than reported in most countries it is not a factro of ten. There is a big difference between a reported death toll of 414,000 and the actual toll of 4.9 million. To put that in perspective the official world wide death toll is 5 million. meanwhile in reality close to 5 million have died in India alone.

Since we now know how to correctly treat people who develop these blood clots, future deaths related to this very rare side effect can be prevented. By way of comparison, getting COVID-19 while unvaccinated poses a grave risk; as of June 14, 2021 more than 599,000 deaths have been attributed to the virus in the US alone.

Alcohol was legal, became illegal and then made legal again. Why did they make alcohol legal again? Oh because when they made it illegal it increased alcohol abuse and created a massive criminal system for it's sale and distribution and wound up costing tax payers lives and millions of dollars. We already know from countries that have done it that making drugs legal actually lowers drug abuse.

The amount of waste is mind boggling. For instance for a time I worked on the manufacturer of high speed chips for the military. We had a room set up for laser etching of silicon wafers. It cost over 3 million dollars just to set it up with 4 techs and 2 engineers assigned to it. It was useless and we used it each year to etch a Christmas tree on wafers and pass them out as gifts.

My issue, as I'm sure you are already aware, is that we are creating variants in countries like India and the African continent because we only want to make the vaccine available to those who can afford it.

There is plenty of video evidence of cops destroying their own cars, breaking store windows and leaving piles of bricks where protests are happening hoping they will use them.

For that reason only certain labs are allowed to produce vaccines and they can not produce enough of it fast enough. For this reason the wealthiest nations buy it up first and nations like India have it spread like wildfire and new variants are created. Likely soon a very deadly variant will come along that the vaccines are ineffective against.

  575.  @azaleataylor8031  I'd link the information but y tube no longer allows that. Here is a summary. If you've had COVID-19 before, does your natural immunity work better than a vaccine? The data is clear: Natural immunity is not better. The COVID-19 vaccines create more effective and longer-lasting immunity than natural immunity from infection. More than a third of COVID-19 infections result in zero protective antibodies Natural immunity fades faster than vaccine immunity Natural immunity alone is less than half as effective than natural immunity plus vaccination

  577.  @azaleataylor8031  Oh god you people are so sad. Taiwan shut border and required 2 weeks of quarantine for anyone entering the country. They had sever mask, social distancing and contact tracing procedures. Taiwan was very aggressive in the early stages to prevent the spread of covid. Cases are rising as they allow travel to and from Taiwan. Taiwan was among a group of fortunate countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, and Singapore, whose citizens went about business as usual as tight borders, strict quarantine rules, and excellent contract tracing kept the virus at bay.
    1
  578.  @azaleataylor8031  How did Taiwan suppress this wave of COVID-19 transmission, even as Australia, Vietnam, and Singapore are struggling with an uptick of the virus? First, Taiwan doubled down on longstanding strategies of masking, quarantine measures, and contact tracing. Long before this wave, as early as April 2020, Taiwan had already instituted mask mandates on public transportation. The government extended the mask mandate to everybody on the island and required its citizens to wear a mask outside their home. Moreover, Taiwan extended its quarantine facilities for those entering the country from abroad to domestic COVID-19 patients. Many local governments began providing options for anyone testing positive to quarantine in a government-provided hotel or facility. The provision of quarantine facilities significantly reduced transmission of the virus within the family, thus reducing the number of cases in the community.
    1
  579.  @azaleataylor8031  I get it this is scary stuff. The good news is that the vaccines are proven to prevent hospitalization and severe illness. The reality in Singapore is not nearly as severe as the grim picture you paint however. You will be happy to know this is the case in Singapore. As of Wednesday, a total of 20,895 people in Singapore are recovering from COVID-19 in their own homes. Meanwhile, 4,589 are in community care facilities and 849 are in treatment facilities, while 1,777 are in hospital for observation, the MOH statement added. All will recover thanks to vaccination.

  590.  @mehere8038  You made my point. If ip rights had been waived Australia could make their own vaccine. India could also manufacture and distribute a vaccine and had that been so we might not have the delta variant today. Countries being unable to manufacture generic versions of the vaccines are why poorest nations are such a danger to the world. They cannot control the spread of the virus and the subsequent variations that breeds.

    1
  594.  @cageybee7221  well I guess maybe things better in China and can buy pistachios from them. However, the issue of drought still remains in China. Earlier in 2010, China faced another severe drought that affected eight provinces in the People's Republic of China's northwestern region. It was the country's worst drought in 60 years, affecting most of the country's wheat-growing regions.

  616.  @jzfvos4038  How did the despots get there? Does that happen overnight? So you feel we should wait until we have a Lukeshenko of our own to fight? Don't talk to me about American privilege. We have almost half our workforce unemployed with little to no means of assistance. 2/3 of bankruptcies in America are from medical bills. We literally have homeless tent cities and homeless begging on every street corner in every city.

  631.  @thatboymark  There have been no studies showing that these medications work for prevention, and the FDA has issued a warning for serious heart-related side effects if hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine are taken outside of a hospital setting for COVID-19. There’s now a shortage of hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, which means that people who normally take these medications to manage their health are having a harder time getting the treatment they need.

  670.  @EdgelordOfEdginess  How are you being punished for anything? Getting some of that sweet vaccine money? For that matter why are we using tax dollars to fund Universities to develop the vaccines and then handing it over to the pharmaceutical industry to sell back to us? How about we allow generic versions of the vaccine for selfish reasons? Like maybe being able to travel again? Or how about avoiding the development of the next plague in countries that can't afford the vaccine?

  671.  @Luflandebrigade31  Of course many countries have the capability and are ready to roll. As far as buying up "rare raw materials". What rare materials might that be? If the elements are common and cheap does that change your mind?

  677. I'm going to regret this but can you link where you got that information from?

  678. I ask because all information I have seen goes like this "The global growth rate in absolute numbers accelerated to a peak of 92.9 million in 1988, but has declined to 81.3 million in 2020. Long-term projections predict that the growth rate of the human population of this planet will continue to decline, and that by the end of the 21st Century, will reach zero."

  682.  @Mohammed8778  What citation do you need? The country collapsed immediately. Politicians left the country and the soldiers laid down their weapons and left. There is no way that an entire country folds that fast if they are overwhelmingly afraid of the Taliban.

  685.  @DavidGetling  The data is clear: Natural immunity is not better. The COVID-19 vaccines create more effective and longer-lasting immunity than natural immunity from infection. More than a third of COVID-19 infections result in zero protective antibodies Natural immunity fades faster than vaccine immunity Natural immunity alone is less than half as effective than natural immunity plus vaccination
    1
  686.  @DavidGetling  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has weighed in, issuing a report Friday evening. Reviewing scores of research studies and its own unpublished data, the agency found that both infection-induced and vaccine-induced immunity are durable for at least six months — but that vaccines are more consistent in their protection and offer a huge boost in antibodies for people previously infected.

  696.  @harukrentz435  As of February 2020, about 13,000 American troops. 300,000 Afghan soldiers. The United States has spent an estimated $2,261,000,000,000, or more than $2 trillion, on the war effort. Now what is your point? That 4,500 US soldiers could do what 313 thousand troops could not do?
