  1.  @ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary  So are you saying that you have a lousy attention span or just tune out the media when they say something that you disagree with?

  2. The pessimist will always say that the future bad, but the optimist will the future holds a lot of potential for good things to happen. Besides the vaccines are coming. And human beings are resilient. We shall overcome!

  3. @Jay Nelson. Allow me to inform you on the basics about this pandemic. Maybe you don't care about the cases, but the higher the number of cases the people are likely to end up getting sick, getting hospitalized and dying. If health authorities relied only hospitalizations they would weeks behind outbreaks blowing up somewhere in the state and consequently slower initiating some kind policy to reduce the spread. When Governor Luhann of New Mexico saw the dramatic spike in cases she initiated a two week shut down which made a significant change in the weekly cases. And the authorities did all that using science. I have no idea from your comment what science you are talking about. And by the way aren't you being a hypocrite telling people to turn off CCN, MSMBC, etc when you obviously watch them yourself??

  4. @Ryan D. Oh, right as if their goal was always about scaring people about this pandemic?! 🙄 The media has by and large recognized that this pandemic is a major crisis in this country having killed far people then any other country. About 340 thousand and counting which is now the primary cause of death in this country above heart disease and cancer. Maybe the problem is that you are having trouble facing this pandemic!?

  5.  @ryand8406  Thanks for your more articulate response. You said listen to the facts, but what you are missing is however is how you use that 99% of people survive this virus stat.. This is an example of using a statistic to distort the reality of this pandemic. Here is what I mean. Even though 99% survive the virus anyone of those 99% is likely to catch the virus! And then they can also turn around and transmit the virus to others--without even knowing they carry the virus--who may be vulnerable to this virus. Further that 99% survival figure ignores the the large number of people struggling with disabling symptoms which is much greater then the 1% who die. And you can say some experts on this subject may claim that the death rate is over estimated, but the vast majority of specialists in the field that official rate is accurate and even an UNDERestimate!! This is corroborated by the CDC study in October which said that between Jan. 28 and Oct. 3 300,000 people died ABOVE the statistical average who die every year from all causes! The actual death rate from covid through Oct 3 from the John Hopkins site was 216,000. That is easily found by searching excess deaths in 2020. There's some facts for you!

  6.  @ryand8406  That would be amusing if we weren't seeing thousands of people dying every day. You made an assumption that I live my life in fear of this virus which demonstrates how much you are out of touch with the world in yourself. People who don't know themselves often make presumptive statements about others which are invariably wrong and usually a projection. Making presumptive statements demonstrates ignorance. I am 65 and work with homeless people daily and picked up the coronavirus from one of them, but I wasn't worried because I have educated myself about the virus. And I know that life is impermanent so I could die at any time. That's life! I have worked in the medical field and with adults with severe mental illness so that is my reality.

  7.  @ryand8406  The difference is because we are at a point where we are making tiny incremental steps in reducing mortality from things like cancer and heart disease. The covid pandemic is something we knew how to face, but Trump completely sabotaging the effort even before the pandemic started. Consequently, because of the lack of leadership from the WH the US has far more cases and deaths then any other country in the world. Here are the specific ways trump has failed to provide any leadership in this pandemic. 1) Trump terminated the task force in the WH created under Obama to confront a pandemic early on which of course handicapped the US in confronting the covid pandemic. 2) Trump refused to initiate a mandate to coordinate industry in the production of PPE resulting in an extreme shortage throughout the country compromising the protection of medical professionals. 3) trump also cut funding to the CDC and WHO as well as castigating them with baseless insults thus compromising their credibility. 4) trump also failed to model the value of mask wearing which is very effective in controlling spread of the covid virus. trump was dismissive of mask use to the point of insulting others who wear masks. This created a following of rebellious trump followers refusing to wear a mask. This in one sense the explosive number of cases and deaths in the US is understandable. trump was using his own policy of herd immunity to push as many people to get infected as possible again explaining why we have over 340 thousand who have died from covid in this country. Even India with FOUR TIMES the population has no where near the deaths as the US. trump failed to protect this country from this pandemic thus is important that he will leave office Jan 20.

  8.  @runningwithscissors1564 & Mike doe. Actually shut downs are very effective at reducing the rate spread of the virus. Here in New Mexico we saw the recent covid spike cut in half with a shut down and subsequent changes. But people in denial about this pandemic are stuck in their biased perception of the coronavirus because denial is just so much easier to deal with then reality.

  10. @Joey Medina. The more cases the more that will die as a result. The data is easily available to anyone so go look it up. And I used to know a Joey M here in New Mexico. Could it. . . . .naw

  11.  @MindFlowersDotNet  Actually there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of excess deaths in this country due to the covid pandemic. In October the CDC put out a report showing an increase of 300,000 people had died this year from Jan 26 through Oct 3. That increase likely reflects a more accurate number of people that died from covid rather then the official number of 216,000 at the time. Your comment speaks to your own denial because you can't accept the reality of this pandemic. Denial is understandable given how difficult this pandemic has been it is not a helpful way to face life.

  12.  @SC-dw3jz  Your denial is not an effective way to go through life. You have zero evidence this pandemic is a hoax.

  13. Oh right because YOUR GRAND MA was sent home you don't think this should be made into a race issue!!! Why is it when people like you point to ONE EXAMPLE that you think it changes everything?? Jeez. And you obviously missed that part where they said she was sent home and DIED!! Did your grandma die?? Tell me where you live I'll be glad to come over and knock some sense into that empty head of yours!!!

  15.  @あきら-v7h  Sorry for my over reaction. I was annoyed that anyone would suggest that blacks have not been treated worse in America even in hospitals. I could have been more articulate and asked you more about your circumstances. Peace and wellness to you.

  16. @Henry Lo. Do you just block out anything that doesn't fit your extremely biased perception??

  17. No kidding!! Look how many people voted for trump AGAIN and in greater numbers!

  18. @Madeleine Shaw. People who deny the reality of this pandemic do so because in some way it is too painful to look at given how this pandemic has upset our lives in so many ways. Denial is understandable, but not helpful in facing the reality of this pandemic.

  19.  @catherineshaw1122  Interesting. So what evidence do you have that this virus is not real? How for example can the whole world be focused on confronting this virus with statistics coming out as to covid count and death rate if this is all nonsense?

  20. Ah, that's actually trump you are talking about. And trump is the one accusing the media of lying and a lot of gullible people believed him. The reality is trump is projecting. It is trump that lies all the time.

  21. @timothy17. Where is the communism in California you talking about Timmy? Or do you just like that word because a little feeling of power?

  22.  @timothyf7  No California is not at all communist which would hardly be tolerated in this country by democrats or republicans. The government may have a policy you don't like, but they are not communist. Communism is when the government has total control of industry and services in the country and there is more of a balance of wealth in society. Even China has an increasing number of private companies so they are not strictly communist. But, this has led to a more capitalist characteristic of many millions becoming very wealthy. So China and Cuba and a couple of other countries are at least partially communist, but despite this they shouldn't be castigated simple because they are communist. Cuba for example has sent doctors to other countries to help them with the covid pandemic. The point here is that it more rational to look at the world though a nuanced perspective instead from a black and white one which is rarely the case about anything these days.

  23. @765 lb splat. Well now how about that you exaggerate just like that fraud in the WH!! In first place you are talking about human beings and no human being is illegal. They are undocumented not illegal!! Second there is nothing close to 170 million undocumented in this country. In fact the number is probably down from what it was because of trump's xenophobic policies. That means that since the undocumented numbered about 11.2 million previous to the trump error it probably under 11 million now. Isn't it nice when someone gives you a reality check to correct your misunderstanding?

  27. No, I don't suppose at all. In fact I find quite disingenuous that you even suggest something so unrelated!

  30.  @seabass512  I was agreeing with you in criticism of Jorge's comment.

  31. That high covid count in California is going result in a lot more hospitalized and dying patients, but you didn't think about that did you or worse maybe you don't care. Imagine if it was one of your relatives dying out there or anywhere for that matter from covid!!
