    Half a million people have died from Covid-19 in the US. Imagine, if you can, how dizzy and sick the forecast of this news would have made you feel a year ago.

        I remember breaking down and crying when we reached 40,000. We have all become numb to the numbers I’m afraid.

        Its so much worse. At the rate it kills the plan was always genocide. Even if it was an equal death rate.(it's not) In America 200 mil whites and the rest non. If 50 mil of each race died you'd have just white survivors. Genocide was the plan all along. Genocide....

        Now imagine that the President of the nation knew at this point last year what a disaster-in-the-making this was an not only didn't warn us but did the exact opposite, and even after he nearly died himself, continued to say "It wasn't that bad." 1/

        One of my greatest disappointments of the past year, learning just how high the threshold of death and suffering is before people will freak out and pay attention to public health advice

        We don't know that threshold yet.
