Do you wear a seatbelt when you’re in a vehicle?

Statistics say about 36,000 people die per year in car accidents in the US.

In the past year about 720,000 people died of COVID.

That’s about TWENTY years worth of car accidents deaths in just ONE year.

1819 deaths....of or with? The odds are better of hitting the lottery than dying.

9,700,690 active cases and 1819 deaths? 0.018752577319588% ? Your numbers.

Stay home, tape up all your windows and doors, wrap your head in cheesecloth, paint your walls with Lysol.

Glad it's open though. Now we can have our usual winter here of jammed up traffic, waiting in line at restaurants, and crowded state park campgrounds where everyone goes to bed at 5:30 PM.

The government tracks all deaths and publishes the data. None of the various causes dipped by much, and yet an additional 700,000 people died.

Unless you think the previous administration AND all of the Counties and States conspired to fudge the numbers…….
