    Why would I want to wade through PAGES of old posts?...just post the specific post you're referring to.

    Don't know what your problem is with me and really don't care...but if you want to keep carrying on the same way of cluttering up the board by bashing each other, that's up to you. That goes for JB as well.

    Hundreds of bodies are being recovered from New York City homes every day but are NOT included in coronavirus death count even if they had symptoms - as the city increases burials in mass graves on Hart Island
    • Data from the NYC fire department shows that 1,125 people died in their homes or on the street in the first five days of April alone
    • It is more than eight times the number of deaths recorded this time last year when when 131 people died
    • The fire department data is based on information collected during 911 calls involving cardiac or respiratory arrest with fever and cough
    • While those symptoms could also fit diseases such as influenza, the steep rise coincides with the surge in coronavirus cases and deaths in New York City
    • Paramedics have not been testing people for coronavirus if they die at home or on the street - suggesting the COVID-19 death toll could be higher
    • The city has now shortened the amount of time it will hold unclaimed remains before they are buried on Hart Island - the city's public cemetery
    • It comes as aerial images captured contracted laborers burying about 40 cases in a huge trench on Hart Island on Thursday

    That would be semantics, not symantics.

    Too hard to read huh? I'm on my phone and don't see a post number.


    It is quite interesting to me to go back and see what people were thinking as this unfolded.

    If I had actually read this thread when it was happening I would have remembered the posts and wouldn't need reminded like you do.

    I don't remember everything that is written here but my bondo filled brain makes me look like rainman compared to some of you guys.

    Do you actually read what people post or do you just look for who posted something and hit like and move on?

    Trumpers are not allowed the luxury of a spell check.

    Well, it could be symantecs, since we are talking about viruses.

    You’re sounding less smart the longer you draw this out. You’re actually proving my point better than I could.

    Trump's ok with it as long as there not included in the numbers count. As long as nobody can prove it, Trump can deny it.

    My guess is he personally went and murdered all those people himself. Because Trump.

    It the difference between people were dips in the road, the difference between Trump and Biden is greater than the Grand Canyon. At least, that's how I see it.

    Must be a weird scale you're judging people on. To me the difference between someone like Madea Benjamin and either of them is the distance from here to some planet we haven't even discovered yet.

    I know Trump is a better and more honest person than Biden but it isn't that bad.

    I also read about this earlier today...and it's not just NY. A lot of people around the country are being sent home with "marginal" symptoms...and they die. And as you said, they're not always counted among the covid deaths.

    Honestly it is more like a tie, but Biden has done far worse things to many more people over the decades.
