Sea Of Flags Commemorating Over 675,000 Americans Lost To COVID-19(Pics) by Explorers(m): 2:24pm On Sep 28, 2021 |
The number of deaths in the United States due to COVID-19 has now passed 675,000, more than the number of Americans who died during the 1918 influenza pandemic. In Washington, D.C., a new temporary art installation named “In America: Remember,” commemorates the many Americans who have died of COVID-19 over the past year and a half. Hundreds of thousands of small white flags were planted on 20 acres of the National Mall. Photos: Seen from atop the Washington Monument, people walk through the flags of the "In America: Remember" public art installation on September 19, 2021. A woman (Mourner) looks at white flags that are part of the artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg's temporary installation on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., September 17, 2021. https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2021/09/photos-covid-19-memorial/620146/ 5 Likes 1 Share

They could have avoided this many death if they encouraged early and use of ivermectin. Rather, they will tell people to go home and wait and see. They also made it so difficult for people to have access to ivermectin. Edited: someone came after me with all the fallacies he could use. Sluacoast: rottennaija: 3 Likes |

Covid swept through my family but I was the only one untouched. It's still a miracle. We watched helplessly as life was fading from my dad. Since I was born, till this my age, the worst illness my dad has ever had is catarrh and the occasional mild malaria. But this Covid? You see this Covid?? The baba could not even dress himself. He was beginning to mumble words like someone having a bad case of dementia. My heart broke to see this strong, handsome man reduced to this state. It started with strong, persistent cough that lasted almost more than a month, then flu, then severe malaria, then loss of smell and taste, weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath etc. He recovered when we bombarded him with a mixture of garlic, ginger and Vitamin C. Prior to that all the drugs we were using on him failed to work. The day I knew my father was back was when he told me after I wore his slippers out to buy something "Pussy, there's something wrong with you. All is not well. How can you wear my slippers out??" Sweetest words, especially when you remember he couldn't string a comprehensible sentence together just barely a week ago. All my other family members exhibited symptoms of Covid in various degrees, none as critical as my dad's (he is in his mid-60s) but they all recovered. Octopussy, stubborn geh was the only gallant individual. Unscathed When it was time to get the vaccine because my company made it mandatory, when it got to my turn the network failed. I spent the whole day at the vaccine center but I was unable to be vaccinated. I kuku left and covered myself with the blood of Jesus. That, and the nose mask suffices for now. 55 Likes 3 Shares |

Just imagine what Donald Trump's carelessness cost this beautiful country: over half a million American souls. Obviously, this was the major reason he lost his reelection bid. RIP to the dead. This will be hard for generations unborn to forget. BTW, the United Nations laws (articles) must be amended in a way that countries that cause others huge losses through their inability to manage their diseases be heavily fined for their carelessness. China ought to pay for this madness. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

This is an agenda-driven gross exaggeration. How can almost 700,000 deaths be attributed to Covid-19 alone? This is a lie! According to official U.S. data, Here's a breakdown of the mortality rates in the U.S. and causes. Check back to 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015,...,2000. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm Noticed the death rate? All of a sudden, all of a sudden sudden most of those deaths became attributed to Covid from 2020 to drive the vaccination-driven agenda. Even The Economist did a scathing piece last week about the inconsistencies of official Covid mortality rates. There have also been verified recounts of underfunded care homes and health facilities being induced to ascribe deaths primarily to Covid for funding. The Covid pandemic is on but the mortality is grossly exaggerated! 2 Likes |
