Do we need to memorialize all those that lose their lives to the flu? Or OD? Or heart disease?



Good god this stupid corona nonsense has turned people’s Brains to absolute mush.

I heard the talking idiot on Fox News ask some LTC the same thing trying to lump Covid people into war victims. All because trump talked like the dr's and nurses were running to the front lines like soldiers did in war. After all this panned out, we realize how dumb this was equating it to a war and listening to the paper writing lab coats.

You aren't alone, it pissed me off too. Must be the Navy in our blood or something but there really isn't much in the media/news that I care for. Fox news is as worthless as the other liberal stations now.

Trump hasn’t killed enough troops for the media to pretend like they care about them like when W was President so they have to use Covid deaths.

Yesterday listening to a county radio station the DJ adds commentary about how on this day to remember sacrifices we should honor all who lost their lives to Covid-19.
Weird that you've asked that question here.

1 person said, call in or send an email and ask him.

By making the statement it was obvious what he thought. I'm not interested in debating or trying to change his mind.
The intent of my post was to get a general consensus on what other people think.
The beautiful thing about the sacrifice that the true Heroes made, is our ability to have differing opinions on matters like this.

Yes, really.

I honestly have no idea how anyone could argue otherwise, so I would love for you to explain.
