I know that the death count means nothing to Trumpers no matter how many.

All unnecessary

611,000 deaths in US so far in 18 months . What death count would cause you concern ?

Carl Bernstein: Trump is a 'war criminal' In labeling Trump a war criminal, Bernstein specifically pointed to his administration's response to the Covid-19 health crisis and the January 6 Capitol riot. The journalist said it's important to look at the "tens of thousands of people who died because of his homicidal negligence in the pandemic" and his "fomenting a coup to hold on to office." Trump put his own electoral interest above the health of Americans "as they were slaughtered in this pandemic," Bernstein added. Bernstein has been a very vocal critic of Trump. In February, following the Capitol riot, he told CNN's Anderson Cooper that he considered the ex-president to be the "first seditious president in our history." https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/25/business/bernstein-trump-reliable/index.html

Delta is strong enough to infect vaccinated people with mild or no symptoms , but it hammers the unvaccinated and spreads easier.

India’s excess deaths during COVID could be over 4 million: Study Excess deaths during pandemic may be a staggering 10 times the official COVID-19 toll, says the most comprehensive research yet conducted. Most experts believe India’s official toll of more than 414,000 dead is a vast undercount but the government has dismissed those concerns as exaggerated and misleading. The report released on Tuesday estimated excess deaths – the gap between those recorded and those that would have been expected – to be between 3 to 4.7 million between January 2020 and June 2021. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/7/20/india-covid-deaths-10-times-official-toll-research The Delta variant

Not getting vaccinated is playing Russian roulette jmo

Why did Wall street blame the 700 pt down day on worries of Delta ? Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths are increasing, and the vast majority were not vaccinated The surge in Covid-19 cases fueled by the Delta variant and vaccine hesitancy has now led to increasing rates of hospitalizations and deaths. Data from Johns Hopkins University shows: The average number of new Covid-19 cases each day the past week was 32,278. That's a 66% jump from the average daily rate the previous week, and 145% higher than the rate from two weeks ago. -- An average of 258 Americans died from Covid-19 each day this past week -- up 13% from the rate of daily deaths the previous week. https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/19/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html

Donald Trump's latest dangerous vaccine pronouncement The numbers are deeply worrisome. Covid-19 cases -- fueled by the fast-spreading Delta variant -- have nearly tripled over the past three weeks. Every state in the country has seen an increase in cases. Enter Donald Trump. "Joe Biden kept talking about how good of a job he's doing on the distribution of the Vaccine that was developed by Operation Warp Speed or, quite simply, the Trump Administration," the 45th president said in a statement released via his Save America PAC on Sunday. "He's not doing well at all. He's way behind schedule, and people are refusing to take the Vaccine because they don't trust his Administration, they don't trust the Election results, and they certainly don't trust the Fake News, which is refusing to tell the Truth." That statement is -- and I am not exaggerating at all here -- the opposite of what leadership looks like. The whole statement is bad, but this line stands out for the damage it will do to the efforts to get more people vaccinated: https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/19/politics/donald-trump-covid-19-vaccines/index.html

Wow , you have one heck of a good memory. Glad you're posting TBD

Here Are The Biggest Groups That Are Still Refusing The Covid-19 Vaccine, Poll Finds Jun 11, 2021 new polling analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that certain groups—including younger Americans and Republicans—are among the most likely to be declining the shot. Nearly half of unvaccinated respondents were Republicans (49% versus 29% Democrats), as opposed to 31% of vaccinated respondents who identified as Republicans and 59% Democrats. Both unvaccinated and vaccinated respondents were disproportionately likely to be white (56% unvaccinated versus 64% vaccinated), based in the suburbs (56% unvaccinated versus 52% vaccinated) and have health insurance (76% unvaccinated versus 88% vaccinated). There were also discrepancies between unvaccinated respondents who said they would “definitely not” get the vaccine and those who just plan to “wait and see”: The “definitely not” group is overwhelmingly more white (70% of respondents), Republican (67%) and concentrated in the 30-49 age group (48%). https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/06/11/here-are-the-biggest-groups-that-are-still-refusing-the-covid-19-vaccine-poll-finds/?sh=11825dc842cc

China threatens to nuke Japan over Taiwan in video played on CCP-sanctioned channel The Chinese Communist Party aired a video in which it warned Japan of a nuclear response and "full-scale war" if the island nation interferes in China’s handling of Taiwan. The video, which appeared on a channel approved by the CCP, singles out Japan as the one exception to China’s policy to not use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear powers. "We will use nuclear bombs first," the video said. "We will use nuclear bombs continuously. We will do this until Japan declares unconditional surrender for the second time." The threats follow comments made two weeks ago by Japanese officials about Taiwan’s sovereignty, with Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso saying that Japan must "defend Taiwan," The Japan Times reported. The CCP claims that it will "liberate Taiwan," and it warns against Japan deploying "one soldier, one plane or one ship." https://www.foxnews.com/world/china-nuke-japan-taiwan-video-ccp-channel

That's what covid did to most of the world , thank China
