2:10 shame on Dr Drew. 30k ANNUAL deaths from influenza. We just hit 30k deaths from covid19 in TWO MONTHS, with stay at home orders and just 600k cases. Based on those numbers, letting the virus run rampant with businesses as usual would result in 16 MILLION deaths in the USA. The virus is new. Nobody has any immunity to it until they've had it. And, with at least 8 regional strains, there's no evidence yet that there is significant immunity after surviving infection. Shame on these quacks. They should remember "first, do no harm." Saying that the entire population should be exposed to covid19 and let the chips fall where they may is NOT "do no harm." Britain initially started with this idea of letting covid19 run through the population to allow herd immunity. Then the explosion of cases and hospitalizations started,including several prominent people in government. Then Britain came to their senses shut things down. On the topic of herd immunity, you need about 70% of population to contract the disease. 70% of 328 million is 229 million. That would result in 45 million hospitalizations and 11 MILLION deaths. Here's the fun part. All those deaths and hospitalizations would occur in about 4 months. That would CRUSH the medical system. European countries that were hard hit and New York didn't have enough ppe. That was with several thousand cases in a few weeks. Millions of cases in a few months would result in a medical system that becomes unsafe for doctors and nurses that leads to cascade failures of the system as medical personnel become sick or refuse to work. That leads to fewer people to care for ever more patients, no room in medical facilities for patients to convalesce, follow on deaths from other causes that can't be treated because the system is overwhelmed. Letting this new, highly contagious virus, that can be deadly, run rampant is sheer foolishness and folly.

@aceadventure4183 - Putin brought the sanctions on Russia. Putin can just as easily end the sanctions by halting his unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine and withdrawing all of his troops from all of Ukraine. Putin wants the world to allow him to do whatever he wants. We tried such "appeasement" with another dictator, from Germany, and that appeasement didn't work out so well.

Debbie Bassett - he didn't say he Googled it. He said he searched Google Earth. The former provides information. The latter provides only images. The OP was implying that this trench wasn't for or because of covid19 deaths because a trench was dug last year, based on only an image. Other people are pointing out that using Google search instead of just Google earth will lead to information that explains Hart Island and describes the increasing rate of these types of burials. Further, some are pointing out that the image from last year doesn't match the aerial footage in this vid Basically, the OP is one of the all too many who are still grasping at any straw to say covid19 is fake news, youtube hoax, just the flu, etc.

You bring up a great point. Republicans don't care about the Constitution, otherwise they would've performed their job as jury during an impeachment instead of acting like smitten cheat leaders for a Tyrant acolyte.

Trump does idolize Putin. If he asked, "What would Putin do?" This is an answer.

It's great to have a pres and vp who don't see eyes to eye, especially after 4 years of the vp being a window dressing lapdog.

@terryankevmiller470 - You're correct about when deaths started. However, the people who died were sick before then. I'm counting total time from illness beginning to current death count. Either way, it's a shocking number of deaths in a very short time. These idiots comparing covid19 fatalities to other causes of death fail to point out that those other causes are over an entire year. Also, as the doc interviewed later in this vid points out, it's not OK to have EXTRA deaths from covid19. Plus, car crashes, cancer, heart disease and other such examples AREN'T CONTAGIOUS. These Republican talking heads are acting in a foolish and dangerous manner.

Absolutely! I don't see how the Russians misunderstood this!

moderatingmoderation - I applaud you for endeavoring to think independently. Perhaps you can use that ability to look at facts and do the simple math for yourself. I hope you stay healthy and get back to work as soon as reasonably possible.

Because inconsiderate people felt it was more important to go out and spread disease instead of stay home and help everyone, themselves included, stay healthy.

moderatingmoderation - thank you for taking the time to read it.

moderatingmoderation - that's a shame, you could've learned something.

To all the people saying that Russia and China had plans to allay the pressure of any sanctions...I present a beleaguered dictator Putin who is feeling the pressure.

@drewsimoncomedy - when was Biden convicted, in a court of law,, of rape?

@drewsimoncomedy - in America, we have a legal system based on written laws and courts. People are presented innocent until PROVEN guilty (unless the person is black or poor, probably). The system is not perfect and sometimes innocents are convicted and guilty people are set free. However, this system is FAR SUPERIOR to the "court of social media" that you seem to be in favor of. If you stand too close to a woman at work, if you refuse the advances of a woman, if you refuse to do a job assigned to a female coworker, for her, etc.. You too could be a rapist if all a social media conviction requires is an allegation.

@drewsimoncomedy - also, thumbs upping your own comment makes you look childish and silly.

@drewsimoncomedy - I gave your last post a thumbs up...because you forgot to. You certainly are angry about something, but I'm not sure what exactly what. What is the real issue that's riling you up? Do you even know?
