Hey - just wait till yer older and ya get all kinds of things "free!"

BTW - looks like officially almost 5% of the US population has had it, with about 1/10th of 1% of the population that has died from it (if I've done my quick math right that is).

I hope we learn what we really need to learn from all this (not saying I know what that is - just sayin)!

Herd immunity becomes effective at 30-40%?

Which source are you looking at?

it also depends on which state you are in.

I was looking at the John Hopkins numbers. That WSJ article talks about cases that have not been officially identified. They say that only one in eight Covid cases have been identified - that seems like a high number to me. But who knows!?

If that's the case, it makes the 300,000 deaths that have been reported a fairly small percentage of those getting it as dying, doesn't it? Using those numbers, 15% of the population having actually/probably who have gotten it is almost 5 million people. Of that, 300,00 have officially died making it about 6% of those who've had it who have died. (and that percentage is suspect, since we're always hearing about people who have died for other reasons, but just happened to have Covid too)

In any case, it still makes a little less that 1/10th of 1% (or 1 in one thousand) of total population of the USA who have officially died from it. (and please check my math, because I did go to public scholls . . .)

This video is an incredible eye opener on Fauci and the Coronavirus.

Interesting . . . and just to be fair, here's a "balancing" article from the USA Today. SEE HERE
Quote:
Our ruling: False
Based on our research, the claim that the pandemic was "planned" or created by the CDC, NIH, EcoHealth Alliance, or the Wuhan Virology Institute is FALSE.

"Plandemic II: Indoctornation" is based on a number of cherry-picked facts, such as the existence of a patent on the genome of SARS-CoV, and the transfer of funds from the NIH to EcoHealth Alliance to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The nefarious extrapolations it makes are unsupported and even disproven by facts.

The CDC did patent the genome of SARS-CoV. But it was legal and intended to ensure open access for all researchers, not for profit. SARS-CoV is not the same virus as SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. And the project funded by the NIH at EcoHealth Alliance, in part involving the Wuhan Virology Institute, was to identify and fight coronaviruses, not create them.
So who knows!? Trying to figure this stuff out is difficult at best. If something like this was done, very smart people would have been covering-up their trail . . .

In the end, scripture says, "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short . . . For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." (Matt 24:22 & 24) So, if we are getting close to the end of the age (and I believe we most likely are), then the deceptions will only intensify and it will be very easy to be seduced and duped. Only by clinging to Him who is Truth will we not be completely hornswoggled.

I don't see any contradiction in trusting the Lord Jesus and investigating how these folks are lying to us. The numerous warnings in the Bible are to prevent us from being deceived. Unfortunately, only you and I take these warnings seriously.

Fauci paid the Chinese $Millions to investigate these Corona Bat-viruses, and we are supposed to believe that this was done in good faith? In the cause of research? There is nothing good with Covid and the WHO. That's like them saying, "we were only studying nuclear reactions, and never intended to make a bomb."

Pay no attention to what politicians say, only what they do. Don't believe liberal "fact-checkers" either. Trump is one of the few to come along and say what he means and mean what he says. That's why they all hate him. And why do they all hate him? "Orange Man bad. His tweets are really mean." Seriously? What do you prefer, the leader who insults you, or the leader who sweet talks you while stabbing you in the back?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell congratulated Democrat Joe Biden as president-elect on Tuesday, saying the Electoral College “has spoken.”
