Yeah, you can see the voting cycles pretty well reflected on the graph, while the trend remains steady. I'm gonna keep digging on this though, see if I can make the walk from an era with political and civil unrest without a great deal of party unity to our current situation. I'm intrigued.Quote:

You can't even follow your own directions.
Anyone want to get a good look in to the mind of....well....way too many people in America right now? It would be absolutely hilarious if you didn't think about how influential this show is.

There’s been a lot of talk about the secondary deaths that COVID causes. someone in an ER not getting care for a severe condition because they’re swamped with COVID cases or a wife who has a stroke or heart attack after hearing her husband has died if COVID. There’s a bunch of instances that have been raised.
I’m wondering about things like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/07/n...ew-jersey.html
It’s a lot to dig through, but the focus is on two neighbors constantly fighting about this 18 year old being a menace to get tik tok views. It resulted in a confrontation where he stabbed and killed the older neighbor who confronted him.
The note that’s overlooked in the story is that neighbor repeatedly requested help from police but they couldn’t sign off on the report because that office was closed due to COVID.
The residual effects of all this are so insane.

There's also a lot of people who've had some permanent damage due to the virus, some of which will likely result in a reduction in their lifespan. And that doesn't even get into the various disorders that have or will result from the traumas of shutdowns, loss of jobs, loss of businesses......layers and layers that will have effects for years.Quote:

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm: Number of deaths: 2,813,503
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/databriefs/db355-h.pdf: In 2018, a total of 2,839,205 resident deaths were registered in the United States—25,702 more deaths than in 2017
Sorry to sound like a rude person, but 170K (And that's if you truly believe 170k died from Covid-19) is a blip on the radar.
