I doubt you guys are rich enough for all the dumb **** he swears is truth.

Once they saw the treasure trove, we could get financers all over the place.

North Korea finally admits that they have Covid.

President Biden has offered them vaccines, but they have declined -- as they have from everyone else as well.
As the article says, North Korea's healthcare system is in bad shape and this could very likely overwhelm it completely.

North Korea is such a sad state. There are no functional systems there.

Kim Jong-un must think the rest of the world is stupid. Kind of like Xi Jinping and how there was no COVID deaths in China for months and months.

They have been in that situation for years. The are a closed society that really doesn't accept assistance from anyone, especially Western "democracies".
I have never believed that they had no cases of Covid, but they insisted that they had kept it out.

567 officers died last year. 444 of them were due to COVID. The first fact is a concern to everyone but for some reason the right wants to ignore the second fact.

How many Drs, nurses, paramedics, CNAs, RT staff, housekeepers and ancillary healthcare staff died of Covid?

How many Drs, nurses, paramedics, CNAs, RT staff, housekeepers and ancillary healthcare staff died of Covid?

I imagine it’s been probably comparable numbers. Even higher perhaps.

[catman]

I would say it is a lot higher. Police didn't come into direct contact on a daily basis that healthcare workers did.
This said, I would not want to trade jobs with cops. They earn their salaries daily.

To the surprise of absolutely no one:

Americans in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump in 2020 were 2.26 times more likely to die of COVID-19 than in counties that voted for Joe Biden, according to a new analysis of data.

While COVID-19 death rates in regions are affected by several factors, including things like wealth and access to health care, death rates closely followed rates of vaccinations

And political affiliation continues to be the largest predictor of vaccination status, according to the non-partisan think tank the Kaiser Family Foundation.

I remember when this trend started to emerge and the folks on the right, rather than adjusting how they acted during the pandemic, doubled down and started acting like it was a conspiracy to kill them off.
