Andrew Cuomo’s office. Out of the 74,857 people tested for Covid-19 across the state Friday, 703, or 0.93% people, tested positive, the release said. "Despite increasing infection rates across the country and in our region, we continue to see our numbers hold at low levels, all thanks to the hard work of New Yorkers to change their behavior and our data-driven, phased reopening," Cuomo said. At least 573 people are hospitalized with Covid-19 across the state and 133 people are in intensive care units, the release said. There were five additional Covid-19 deaths reported yesterday, whi brings the statewide total to 25,195 deaths, according to the release.

Mr. Haney Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 The Chinese Virus is a scam. https://fox8.com/news/coronavirus/new-cdc-report-shows-94-of-covid-19-deaths-in-us-had-underlying-medical-conditions/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md11fr8dawg Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Mr. Haney, the virus IS NOT a scam. 100% of the people in that DCD report died, period. Only 6% died from the virus alone. The rest had compromised immune system from some other aliment. The covid virus is real and just like the flu viruses (many of them covid strains) many people die each year especially if they have other underlying immune depressing illnesses. What IS a scam is this where one political party thinks they can make hay by scaring the shiite out of the populace, make them wear masks and give up many of their freedoms under the guise of helping your fellow man or protecting yourself from the virus. The "election infection" will be gone in all likelihood Nov 4th. But the American people have been lied to by the MSM for months, and the CDC, NIH and the WHO cannot agree on what we should do to protect ourselves. And don't talk about if any current drug might shows signs of curing or speeding the recovery and warding off death, WELL WE CAN'T HAVE ANY OF THAT", it might help "Orange Man". And as you know we had rather destroy the best economy of the best country in the world and then try and blame the deaths and the economy on President Trump. ANYTHING for the Rays to try and regain their power, so they can get this communist train back on track. SAD!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md11fr8dawg Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 To ALL of you who like to tout that wearing masks is the socially correct thing to do because it keeps you from infecting your fellow man, check this out. The more this "election infection" continues the more insane it gets. Keep conditioning those sheep to fall in line and NEVER tell them the truth or give them the facts. https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2020/09/doctor-ted-noel-an-anesthesiologist-with-36-years-experience-wearing-masks-in-operating-rooms-explains-why-masks-dont-work-3541653.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nstoolman1 Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I wonder if the photography of that pic is a Trump supporter or a Biden supporter. It almost looks like the flag is wrapped up so as not to see the flag. Not looking for a response. I doubt anyone on this forum has an answer.
