Do these fuckers really have the cure and are making people wait until the election

nah, young folks are often asymptomatic.  they get over it without even knowing they had it... until grandma keels over, and people wonder how she got infected since the only people she un-quarantined for was little billy who dropped by to give her a hug...

barron almost certainly got over it naturally.  i wonder if he's the one who infected dad/granddad donald.

CDC Report: Covid has left about 285,000 more people dead in U.S. than would be expected in a typical year; 2/3 from Covid, the rest from other causes.
For 25- to 44-year-olds, excess death rate is up 26.5% , the largest change for any age group


Because of the newness of the diseases and disinformation campaign run by the rightwing media and elected GOP officials...it is important to note the excess death numbers to show a distinct correlation
