Lets look at a bad year for the flu, and then look at this year for COVID (will probably be the worst on record since we're still learning how to treat it). The flu is tracked by a stat called "P&I" which means Pneumonia & Influenza. We'll do the same for COVID (let's call it "P&C").

P&I Deaths 2017-2018 - ~70,000
P&C Deaths 2020 - ~90,000

Estimated Influenza Illnesses, Medical visits, Hospitalizations, and Deaths in the United States - 2017-2018 influenza season | CDC

Provisional Death Counts for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

So a brand new disease emerges, the US shuts down business/schools/travel/etc., bans large gatherings (except protests of course), requires masks to be worn in public, recommends social distancing, and so on.

After all that, we've managed to keep the death rate down to around a bad flu season year (keep in mind this is a brand new disease, no vaccines, no treatment protocol, etc.).

Then this documentary suggests President Trump is specifically responsible for all these deaths and should be held accountable for probably just repeating what he's told (because lets face it, he's not as smart as he thinks he is and just parrots what everyone around him tells him). :psyduck:
 
This guy co-produced a movie with Spielberg about how bad white people are. You have to be pretty self-loathing to watch this jew garbage.
 
Gibney and Spielberg off to make their next (((Hollywood))) movie Skippers is going to watch.

Don't let their toxic masculinity infect you Skip. Just let them jizz all over each other.

So why is the UK and the rest of Europe going into such a massive spike of cases, Donald Trump isn't in charge there is he?

And they wear masks don't they, this is impossibru ...


Speaking of documentaries, I just watched The History of the World in Two Hours, it's not too bad although it does push the whole white privilege idea.
 
I can't speak for every european country, but as I understand it a lot them are experiencing a 2nd wave. Some european countries like Poland got very lax on restrictions over the summer and unfortunately now it's really catching up with them.

Most people in the UK aren't exactly content with their government's response to covid either.
 
We (Ireland) just got shut down to Level 5 (highest lockdown rating) for the next 6 weeks.

Cases spiked as measures relaxed, and the Irish can't handle themselves with a few pints. As soon as there were pubs open, it went to shit again.

Sad times.
 
After months of lockdown and curfew we are just about out of it :sunny:
