I WANT NUMBERS

Uncategorized

Since Covid and the grim numbers yesterday marking 500,000 deaths, I’ve noticed the lack of the following critical statistics/percentages:

  1. Age
  2. Ethnicity/race
  3. Socio-economic circumstances
  4. Geography by state and community

This isn’t a “gotcha” ruse on my part; I want to know why my 95 yr old mother’s assistant living “club” has lost ZERO members to the virus here in Florida with its disproportionately number of the elderly.

Does anyone have some info to share?

  1. Well, to begin with, the numbers are way inflated. In America, anyone who died with covid was listed as having died of covid. That is why our numbers are worse than other countries. They cooked the books.

    Your governor in Florida did a excellent job of protecting the elderly.

  2. I have some vague remembrances of the AIDS pandemic when it hit in the 80s and the media convinced us all that everyone was at equal risk. We know now that was a lie so I need more specific info about Covid. Hey, vaccines are great, but does everyone really need them? Masks and social distancing are fine to a point but when my hero, Florida’s Governor DeSantis, announced that closing down beaches (open spaces, fresh air, social distancing) was a stupid thing to do, I started to question everything. In the meantime, Florida’s Covid numbers look promising and are on the way to stabilizing.

    1. Yes, and it was Dr. Fauci who told us we were ALL gonna die of AIDS when really it was only a buncha Poofters and people dumb enough to share needles with ‘em who were at risk.
      Dr.Faustus has GOT to go!! Dr Scott Atlas (appropriate name: the guy preventing the sky from falling) is the only person making sense.

      2. I love how they can look you right in the eye and tell you precisely the way things really and truly are all the while knowing they are making it up as they go. I am convinced in many decisions by our Federal leadership the only parameter becomes their in-group’s upward mobility.

      2. Living in NYC at the time and working with fashion directors at Saks, Barneys, etc. I was terrified to kiss them on the cheek or shake their hand. Not to mention my personal friends who were, to a large extent, gay and I simply didn’t know what to do … There were all those stories about saliva … And I was sick with worry about their well being because several of my closest and biggest supporters in the industry died.

        I want to nuke the Chinese for making me suffer through such a thing yet a second time in a relatively short life span.

      3. “I want to nuke the Chinese for …”

        This!

        This can not be said often enough. Thank you Liz for speaking truth to power. No go forth and build for thee and thou kind a secret bunker in the woods in which to hide from TPTB.

      4. Me, too; as a chaplain- intern, I was one of few people willing to interact with a gentleman on human terms: he taught me a great deal. His family and I are still in touch today.

      5. Straight men were at almost no risk either. AIDS was funny in how the fags got us all to fund research for a cure for them vice say children’s leukemia and such.

      6. You’re not wrong Simon about AIDS; it was fueled by reckless sexual behavior but then it started to infect many people who weren’t engaging in such. The “trickle down” effect was devastating.

        But pls don’t mistake me for a “woke” on this subject! Ground zero was a gay flight attendant who brought it back from Africa where people jump one another as casually as Americans shake hands.

      7. I have to say that the gentleman I mentioned above took total responsibility for the alcohol abuse that fueled the “stupidity” that led to his illness. He stayed connected to his boyhood church and AA, and offered transportation and meals to those who needed them, for as long as he could, after moving back to OH from decades in NY. I cross-stitched a panel for “the quilt” in his memory, at his request, since it would have been too draining for his mom to do. (I finished it – without dates – in time for him and his family to see it.) 😇 Such a blessing to me!
