Coronavirus

"With his endless campaign of dismissing the coronavirus, his rejection of masking -- he even mocked his most loyal Fox News supporter Laura Ingraham for wearing one (“Is that a mask? No way. Are you wearing a mask? I've never seen her in a mask. Look at you. Whoa, she's being very politically correct...”) -- with his dismissal of lock-downs (“LIBERATE MICHIGAN”), and his implicit support for potential “militia” assassins aiming to kidnap and possibly execute the governor of that state, Donald Trump has been America’s own killer president. His legacy (if that’s even what it is) will be dead bodies on a staggering scale. In fact, from his urge to heat the planet big time as history's ultimate pyromaniac to his super-spreader behavior on the campaign trail, he’s brought untimely death to Americans on a scale unimaginable in this country since the Civil War."

With just over 4% of the world’s population, at 9.7 million Americans infected the U.S. has recorded 20% of the world’s cases and 19% of the world’s deaths. This is American exceptionalism, Trump-style.

Medicare gives hospitals 20% more in funds if they list someone who died of COVID.
So all deaths ( in hospitals ) are listed as COVID , without any tests being performed , all that is required is the the doctor believes the patient might have COVID.
Your chances of getting COVID and surviving are still ( CDC ) at 99.5% for people between the ages of 50 to 69.
With odds like that, why is a vaccine even needed ?
